A note about Thank you notes
After an interview, a class with a professor, receiving a gift, or any other event that would require a thank you it is ALWAYS appropriate to write a thank you note. With that being said I think a handwritten thank you note leaves a much bigger impression than an email thank you note. This is because it takes time to hand write a note, especially in modernity where everyone leads such busy lives. Recieving a hand written note shows the person you took time out of your day to show your appreciation (because there isn’t an app on the iPhone or Blackberry for this.). I can guarantee that this will make a huge impression and I think is a crucial step after a big interview.
Basically, the bottom line is: You can teach a Chimp to write an email thank you. Take time out of your day to hand write a thank you note, it will leave a lasting impression and truly make the recipient feel special.

Hey! You're Awesome!
Early to rise, Early to shine! Do something awesome today!
Take stock of your life and be thankful :)
There is always more to be thankful for than we realize. :)
Start your week off right, tell yourself it's going to be a great one! :)
No one needs to start their week with the Monday blues! When you set yourself up for a great week you will have one! :)

Don’t ever lower your standards to date someone beneath you, your expectations, your morals, or your dreams. No matter what, you deserve the best!
It takes courage to say and accept all of the good things in your life. Our lives are never as negative as we make them out to be.
Anyone can complain about anything but it takes real strength to admit and understand how good you really have it. Stay thankful :)

i'm so happy i found your blog! keep up the AWESOME work :D
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! :D
Don't look for things to complain about, look for things to be thankful for.
If you always complain you will never appreciate what you have.
