Another Year Gone By

Note: This article was published while I was in my early 20s. I was much younger and dumber. Please don't hold it against me. One of the perils of having a 20+ year old website!

Well today (or really yesterday) I had my last final of my junior year, which more or less makes me a Senior in college, under the assumption I passed all of my classes. I’m pretty sure I did. I could talk about the events of the year, as I have done in previous ‘end of the year’ posts, but I think this post bears something different. I am going to be a Senior in college. That kind of scares the shit out of me. More so because I have found a job. One I will start this summer and work during the school year, and then, if all goes well, will turn into a Full time job after school.

At the end of my senior year of High School, I titled a post “I guess this is growing up” (I was big into song title titles) and I talked about the whole moving on/growing up thing. I guess I could be jumping the gun with a whole growing up speech, or another one- but I don’t think so. I am feeling very anxious. I have a full time REAL job. This is going to be my last summer vacation. It feels a little strange. Plus, next week, during Senior Week, I will say good bye to all of my senior friends. A lot of them really did help me through out the year, and I will be sad to see them go. I also know that I will now be in their position and hope I can fill their shoes. I will do my best in any case.

As a junior, I learned a lot about people, living in your own house, and my business. I have seen it grow into something maybe even more successful than I thought it would be at this point. I am relieved that the school year is over so I can relax from school for a little, but know as a Sole Proprietor, there is no rest from the business. I also know I will have a great experience this summer working what I will consider my first real developer position. And I look to my senior year with excitement and apprehension. But maybe right now, I should go to bed and worry about next year, well, next year. Later

    Stop Focusing on WordPress Searches and Serve Your Customers

    Over the last few months, we’ve seen several outlets report on the seemingly alarming decrease in search terms year-over-year in the WordPress space. But does it matter that the specific search terms are decreasing (sometimes marginally) even as WordPress and WooCommerce usage reach new heights. While well-meaning, I don’t think these reports solve the problem they think they’re solving.
