Did you ever wonder why some people seemed to have a better income than you do, with definitely fewer degrees or work experience? Today, I am explaining exactly how you can get the income you deserve!
As i am going to move into my new apartment this month, I thought it could be cool to share with you ideas on how to display your books. This post is dedicated to ways you can actually organize books on a proper bookshelf but if you rent a tiny apartment (around 20 sqm) like I do, you may wan to be a little bit more creative with the ways you organize everything. Today, I will simply share with you the ways I loved to organize books in my old apartment but if you would be interested in way to put it all in a tinier one, let me know in the comments. Just to make that clear, I am a minimalist with only 2 bags of clothes but 7 big boxes of books: now, you see how hard it can be for me to organize it all! But I do believe that with a little bit of effort, everything is possible. Ready?
Before I get into today's concept, I would like to clarify a point. It is normal to feel down at times – even often – and romanticizing, to me, means looking at how life unfolds without trying to control everything. It is not controlling the little moments but learning to enjoy them and make what is (not force what is not) more beautiful. You now understand my vision of the concept and, more importantly, you understand what romanticizing life does not mean. It is so easy when wanting to romanticize one's life to try and make it as perfect as possible. However,..
I feel like every job has its own kind of stereotypes, and I mine is not an exception to the rule. I am a librarian and I hear the same stereotypes over and over, which leads me to that post. I want to share with you 3 things that librarians actually do not do, in order for you to have a clearer idea of the things we actually do. Are you ready? Go!
Sometimes, I just feel like it is important to set quick reminders here. I tend to share very practical tips, but today, I only and simply want to remind you one little tiny thing: you do not have to do what you do not want to do. Okay, that is written, I may stop here. Nonetheless, as I love writing, I will keep talking about that concept a little bit more.
We are totally in that time of the year in which lots of students start their internship (me included) and I thought it would be cool to discuss that "how to balance internship and academic work" thing together. Of course, I know there are schools that set you free from whole academic work before the start of the year's internship but not every school does that (and mine definitely does not). So, let's discuss the ways I do manage doing an internship, working on my essays, preparing the next academic year and working on my thesis. Ready?
I do not know about you but as an avid reader, one of my biggest struggles is to find books for relatively cheap. I know that I can't be the only one to spend way too much money on books and thus today, I have decided to share with you the ways I do save money when it comes to buying books. Depending on your country, you may also look for the cheapest books but in France (as in many other countries), books are considered a "cultural good" and thus, their price is set in stone. That means that one bookseller can't sell a book cheaper than his neighbour, in the limit of a discount of 5% (nonetheless, the problem remains when it comes to eBooks). Are you ready?
Which book lover has never dreamt of working at their local library? But what is it really like? How much work is it? Let me take you with me in a “typical” (do such things exist?) day in my life at the library!
I think a lot of women (and not only women) suffer from feeling "ugly". Nobody really defines what "ugly" is for them, but still, a lot of people consider themselves to be "ugly". In a really self-development oriented world, we do not feel like saying it out loud and prefer acting as if we were good with ourselves, but the truth is that sometimes, we are not...
I do not even know where to start; it had been years since I had last been ready to cry for a book. Wow!
For those of you who have never heard of the plot, let me give a very short summary: our main character is working part-time in a convenience store and does not want to either get married or have children. Above all that, she feels that she has a fulfilling life. However, people in her life just can’t seem to understand and want to change her, apparently « for her own good »...
As I know that many of you are still studying, I have decided to share this post with you guys. Whether you are doing a master's of research or considering starting a PhD, there is one thing that absolutely MUST be on your mind: your topic. When you embark into the beautiful adventure of writing a thesis, you absolutely need to know what topic you want to study. Today, I would like to help you understand why choosing the right topic for you is important and how you can actually find that topic by asking yourself a few honest question. Ready? Let's find that topic...
As you probably know, March is the month of Middle Grades and as you probably know as well, Middle Grades are my favorites! For those of you who do not know, Middle Grades are basically the books dedicated to children aged 8 to 14, but they are totally suitable to adults as well! I love Middle Grades because I find them both wholesome and smart. Middle Grades always tackle big questions in a beautiful way and allow the reader to spend a refreshing time while really getting to think about the toughest topics. "Middle Grade March" is basically a way to consider that March is the month of Middle Grades ; such an excuse for fans like me to read a bunch of them...
