Part I: An Aspiring Journalist's Move to New York →

A nurse has recorded the most common regrets of... →
kateoplis: 1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me. 2. I wish I hadn’t worked so hard. 3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings. 4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends. 5. I wish that I had let myself be happier. Read on. These are exactly the type of regrets I hope to never have, and don’t yet. If I died...

so I'm wondering...
now that I’m a post-grad and semi-professional and I have people other than just my weird friends (read: potential clients/employers) calling me, how the hell do I answer my cell phone. A simple “Hello?” somehow seems too casual. Do I just pick up the phone and drop my name? Ring, Ring…“Caitlin Bradley speaking” or Ring, Ring…“This is Caitlin” ...

I’m not even done applying to all my potential schools yet, but it’s really nice to get accepted to the 1st one I’ve heard back from. Will keep you all updated on my future decisions....
