		<description><![CDATA[Approximately one week after graduating college, I did what countless adults warned me not to do: I got a puppy. Though my sweet French bulldog puppy Ada stole my heart with seconds, I quickly realized what all my elders had been talking about. It was harder than I thought to balance caring for a new puppy and impressing at my new job. For a while, I thought to myself, well this was a genius idea. But, somewhere along the way, I realized that compromising for my dog while fulfilling responsibilities had delivered the perfect work/life balance. These little tips that Ada taught me can help you find the right balance [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sure, I wrote a budget when I was in college – then glanced at it again a few months later and laughed. Even though my bank account was usually just a handful of change above empty by the end of the month, I could always survive off of whatever was in the fridge or convince my mom to send me a Starbucks gift card or two. But, when you’re on your own, there are suddenly many more important expenses that need to be taken care of on a regular basis: rent, insurance, and, yes, food. Budgeting is somewhat of a necessary evil, but, if you follow these easy tips, you [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Remember those thank you notes back from your sixth birthday party? The ones that were already printed, with some cute cartoon character or other. All you had to do was fill in the name of your friend and what they got you. So easy. But you made sure to do it every year. Just because you’re 20-something now doesn’t mean you get to skip out on the thank you cards. Maybe the cartoon, fill-in-the-blanks version isn’t quite appropriate anymore, but a hand-written note can go a long way, especially this holiday season. As Southern Living puts it, “the art of writing an ‘old-school’ note is being lost,” but if you [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I usually consider leggings and a sweater a perfectly acceptable outfit. In fact, you’d have a good chance of finding me out on a Friday night in just that. Hey, no judgment, right? But not at work. I feel like work is another dimension of higher expectations, where you never know who you’re going to meet or where you’ll end up by the end of the day. Sure, you could say the same thing about going out with friends on the weekend, but if I meet someone special then, they’ll have to see me in my casual glory sooner or later, right? Work companions won’t. But at my new job, [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now, you may read this title and think to yourself, why would someone write an incomplete guide to anything? Isn’t that a little bit of an oxymoron? Yes, but I’ll tell you why the title: undoubtedly, when I get on the subway again tomorrow morning, fighting with the other Stuyvesant Town residents for the handful of spots on the L train, I will run into a dozen or so people who are doing something to bother me and wish I’d added it to my guide. Unfortunately, that’s life in NYC. People can always find one hundred ways to annoy you on public transportation. But if you follow this guide, you’ll [&#8230;]]]></description>
