In hindsight, my lack of urgency scares me as choosing a college really is a life defining decision. I know a lot of seniors are starting to stress about getting into and wondering how to…

This Original Re-Mix starts with a print of one of my sketchbook entries, then I paint, draw, doodle and more over the top of it to create a whole new original piece. Due to the individualized treatment of this process, no two will ever be alike. I did not use photoshop to prepare or produce these pieces. All treatments were made with my own hand! Original Remix (part print/part original) 8-1/2 x 11 inches Painted on High Gloss Photo Paper Signed front and back Julie Steiner More from this series here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/OutsideTheBoxArt?section_id=7657538 Sketchbook Re-mix Over the summer I took on a huge undertaking and organized all of my doodles and sketches that I have done over the past several years. These sketches were all on random papers, trash, and whatever else was available when boredom or inspiration struck. After filing all of the images into a folder I realized that I wanted to start a sketchbook so that my visual inventions and experiments with ideas, techniques, and materials had a permanent resting place. The process of keeping a sketchbook/journal or whatever you want to call it has been extremely gratifying. Without regard to public perception, I allowed myself to experiment in a way that left me free to disconnect from the final outcomes. ...and while my sketchbooks images are mine, I cannot part with them, I have found a way to share them with the world through my sketchbook remixes.

In the June 18, 2013 Ask The Headhunter Newsletter, a job hunter worries about asking for more money: My dream position with my dream company has just come through! The offer is good — a bit lower than I would have liked, but very good. My question is this: Do I even bother haggling over a couple thousand dollars? I read somewhere that you should always go through at least one round of salary negotiations and that the employer actually expects it. I think I have a very good chance of getting what I ask for (especially because it’s such
Acclaimed author of Last Tang Standing and Lucie Yi is Not a Romantic in her YA debut: a sharp yet sweet rivals-to-romance romp through Kuala Lumpur—perfect for fans of Emiko Jean, Abigail Hing Wen, and Kat Cho.Agnes Chan never expected to be the punchline of her own life . . .But how else do you explain getting accidentally run over and seeing a lifetime of careful preparation, endless training, and all your hopes of a track scholarship to college destroyed in a split second? Not to mention the only witness to your humiliation being your #1 archnemesis, Royce Taslim.So, when Agnes finds a new answer to her scholarship predicament in the form of an international stand-up comedy contest for teens, the last person she expects to be up against is also the last person she wants to see: Royce. Because for years Royce has represented everything Agnes loathes: extreme privilege, popularity, and physical perfection (ok maybe she doesn’t hate that part so much).Behind the scenes, though, Royce’s flawless façade fades away, revealing someone Agnes never expected—someone who shows her that perhaps the best parts of life are the ones you aren’t prepared for—and as the competition heats up, so do things between these two rivals. But will the pressure to win be too much for them to handle—or will Agnes (and Royce) get the last laugh?
