In a few days, people across the world will stay up until midnight to welcome the new year. I most likely will not be one of them. In fact, it has been several years since I stayed up that late that night. This was not always the case and I can remember spending about 20 straight watching the "ball drop" at Times Square or singing and shouting with a great group of friends or family. New Year's Eve always was a way to bring a great group of friends together and always made for an interesting...

The other day I was sitting in the office when I received a voice recording that my stated Social Security Number had been suspended. Because I have dealt with similar things in the past, I instantly knew this was a scam, but it was still very troubling. They wanted me to press "1" and would have then tried to get my Social Security Number. This is very dangerous because a lot of people get scared when they hear their number has been suspended when in fact it cannot happen. And once someone...

Since I started studying journalism in college, I've been able to have a lot of very interesting newspaper jobs. While they were not always as much fun as I would have liked, I always learned a lot and from a wide variety of people. I just had a friend who just left a newspaper job she had for around 15 years and I really think that is quite the accomplishment in the field of journalism, but I'm glad that I took the route of a literal roving reporter. During my travels, I've had mostly jobs at...
