Now What?!?!

I feel that now what is a question that most recent grads or people who are looking for a change in their life is very common. I know that this question at times can bring uncertainty and frustrations at times. My advise to myself along with anyone else out there going through something similar would be this: take things one day at a time and let your friends know you are looking for a job. I am just hoping I can take my own advise or at least trying to. I have options right now and I just have to get out there and look and apply. At times I feel like most of my peers are so far ahead of me and I just have to play catch up at times.At other times, I feel that I am where everyone else is which would mostly be uncertain and confused. Well, this is all I have for this post and to my readers, until next time.

A Penny for your Thoughts...

The saying a penny for your thought is often said when people are talking about how much thoughts are worth I would think. However, have you ever thought about money and the currency used in the United States? I have thought of many questions about different items over the years, I guess you could say that I am someone who enjoys learning all the time. Sometimes, I enjoy just sitting and thinking of things and always want to know why something happens or how it works. I enjoy learning and believe that learning never ceases to exist and shows itself in many forms for many people. My method is by questioning things and thinking about them.
Currently, I have been thinking about money I have had many thoughts and questions go through my head ( see below in no particular order)

1. Who was on the money we use today back in the day. For example, Abraham Lincoln is on the Five Dollar bill as well as the penny. So who was on those before him?

2. Who decides what president or figure in history got to be put on money and how did they decide which money to put them on ( example: the dollar, quarter, etc)

3. Who decides how much money to print each year and do they take into account old bills still in used?

4. If there was a new bill introduced today what value would it be and who would decide who to put on the new money?

5. How much longer will pennies actually be in use?

These are just some of thing things in which I have been thinking about lately and thought I would share them with you, the reader. So enjoy the thought for the day in my life so far.

My first entry

There are so many people out there that have blogs. For the longest time I was someone who did not. Recently, I decided that I would join everyone in this community that seems to be growing by the minute. So please, sit back and enjoy my new blog and the posts to come. So, welcome to my life so far....
