  • Voted Today

    By Andrea Menzies 09/30/2026

    I did early voting today in Virginia. The political rants I have been on this week may be due to needing to know facts for the election. Political debates today are in fact very scary. Do not skip voting. #electionvote

  • Cut Loans

    By Andrea Menzies 09/30/2026

    I got a BA University degree, and found out I was pregnant less than 6 months after graduation. Part of the reason I earned less after earning a University degree was I could not find low priced daycare for a child with a disability for years. Yes schools need to warn students more about the bad job market. Yes schools also need to have better and more aggressive job placement and job search for graduates. How about lowering the massive price of education? How about offering free childcare to all University and technical school graduate women? None of this is offered. This move is about destroying the paths to empowerment and jobs for all working class women instead of helping education at all. #studentloancuts

    *Note: All the professions that would be hurt most are female dominated industries. Art, cosmetology, social work, and I have talked to many teachers it is NOT just teaching aide jobs it is full teachers at risk. This is a war on women.

  • Happy Bastille Day July 14

    By Andrea E. Menzies

         Happy Bastille Day holiday to France. I was traveling in France for the first Bastille Day I saw as a kid. It is also celebrated in New Orleans, Louisiana in the USA as it was originally a French colony. Many people still speak French in the area.

  • Passing Grades

    Passing Grades

    By Andrea Menzies 07/13/26

         I just got the email I passed another class! I am taking a masters degree at night school, and passed three classes at the new school. I passed 2 classes at another school, but they were charging double the tuition I agreed to so I transferred. 5 classes in a masters degree program have been passed by me in 2025 and 2026. It is a stressful program, but filled with great information. I wish con-artist scumbags had not tried to destroy my ability to go to school when I first moved to Virginia. I would have loved to have gone back sooner. I am a lifelong learning fan.

  • Data Joke

    By Andrea Menzies 07/12/26

    I was just joking with people online “at least they are not building a data center next to my room” and oh no they are doing that now. I already greatly hate that my family got me to move to Virginia as I hate every square foot of the place in comparison to other towns I have lived in, and loud pollution pit would be a step in the worst direction for certain.

  • Certificate Done

    Certificate Done

    By Andrea E. Menzies 07/06/26

    I just finished the Clinical Research Certification by CITI by University in Florida. The accredited 15 class vocational certificate was hard, but I understand medical science and statistics far better for healthcare. It even has a great link for reposting on LinkedIn.

  • Women Created Equal

    Women Created Equal

    By Andrea E. Menzies 7/06/26

    “All Men Are Created Equal” is a famous phrase from the Declaration of Independence signed July 4th of 1776. The document is the origin of the July 4th holiday. It has an iconic phrase declaring women unequal. I have returned to school this year, and ironically noticed for the first 200 years of American history women were refused the ability to go to universities at all. Men could easily say women were constantly stupid, drunk, or insane as an excuse to mentally and physically abuse them, and they had no way to prove the lies wrong. It constantly perpetuated cycles of abuse leaving women broke, abandoned, and alone without education. The 4th of July is a great holiday, but never forget it had a promise of freedom few people got to enjoy. In recent history lawmakers have tried to strip women of their rights, and it is important to remember the “good old days” were not always good. At the time of the Declaration of Independence women were not allowed an education in most places. Separate schools had to be created as women-only institutions as women were blamed when men could not control themselves at all in work and school.

  • Nursing Class

    Nursing Class

    By Andrea Menzies 07/03/26

    I just got confirmation I am enrolled in nursing healthcare classes for August of this year. The receipt was in my email today, and am now buying scrubs. I have been teaching for years, but I need to change to make more money. They keep saying in a couple more weeks they are going to make me a “real” teacher with benefits, and YEARS have passed with no real job. I have been applying, and trying to get interviewed. They won’t do it! Time to change to a more high demand job as I can’t wait forever.

    Fly high.
