What I learned after graduating from college in the middle of a pandemic. (via CNBCMakeIt)

Throughout college, I was hyper-motivated to secure an internship or job every summer. While I didn't think the post-grad job hunt would be easy, I knew I had the skills to be ready to apply once graduation came. A sparse job market changed that.

I started slow; I didn't go in with a packed-to-the-brim Excel sheet of 100 jobs I planned on applying to in one week. Instead, I took to LinkedIn and reached out to my past contacts to make old and new connections incrementally. If someone I found on LinkedIn had my dream job, I'd shoot them a brief message expressing my interest in their field. From there, we'd have phone conversations full of meaningful advice that ultimately allowed me to expand my network.

Whether it was binge-watching "Schitt's Creek" or baking countless sweet treats and posting the results on Instagram, staying home allowed me to recharge after four years of constant excitement and packed schedules. These simple distractions have helped me snap out of my worried job frenzy, providing a much-needed reprieve from my first half of quarantine.

Democratics Are All But Resigned to the Supreme Court’s Hard-Right Turn“What the f*ck are Democrats supposed to do?' commented a top party strategist. 'The ACA could be overturned by Trump’s Supreme Court the week after the election, in the middle of a pandemic. There’s no good answer.” Don’t do anything. Let the full effect of the GOP actions fall squarely on the people they claim to represent. Make them own their actions... it’s the only way to wake the masses from their ignorant slumber. Why can't there be more religious diversity on the court? More than half the remaining justices are, or were raised, Catholic, six out of eight. Catholic teaching is against the established right of a woman to access an abortion. It's a fair concern. why dont they start impeachment proceedings against the obviously criminal Barr? I bet if this was reserved, GOP would figure out a way to stop this going forward, you bet they would
