By Gena SysavathWeb Content Contributor My parents came to America with hope and a role. Their hope really was that I was able to grow up, go to school and become successful.

By Ally BolenderWeb Content Assistant Manager When I told my professor that I wasn’t intending on finding a job directly after graduating, his eyebrows furrowed. Throughout my years at college, the idea of job hunting has always been intensely stressed.

I’m stressed, I’m worried, I’m exhausted, I’m burned out, I’m homesick, I’m sad, and the universe is doing an Irish stepdance on my soul. Everything sucks and is horrible. But every time someone has asked me how I’m doing, I’ve given them a sheepish smile and said, “Well, you know, I’m alright.” […]
By Jenise Jackson Blog Content Contributor Here I am. Another semester completed and I’m only 90 percent stressed out, an accomplishment that should be celebrated. Classes were challenging, assignments kept me up all night and plenty of Ls were handed to yours truly. But during these past few months, I’ve had one thing to lift my spirits constantly. That was my Web Content family. Let me brag about these gifted […]
