Whenever you have a break from #MarchMadness , read about how I chose my journalism major! https://t.co/zZjcnrlWxO

My spring break is writing cover letters and watching college basketball.

@SaraMBrink It's me in a nutshell! #createlounge

A5: Sitting around in my PJs all day. Journaling. Eating good food. https://t.co/fnSAkuyYBR

Q5: What are your favorite forms of rest + self-care? #createlounge

[Vanessa Gonzales @vanalexoblog]

@kayla_hollatz Instead of being idealistic, I stepped out of my hiatus and started on creating an online portfolio!

[Vanessa Gonzales @vanalexoblog]

@kayla_hollatz I went to a career fair and met a professional from my hometown! Talking to her inspired me to make big plans for my future!

[Vanessa Gonzales @vanalexoblog]

A4: I look for signs of inspiration and try to run with them. Life will hand you the "lemons" #createlounge https://t.co/SqI0q0FiWj

Q4: When do you know it’s time to come back from your hiatus + starting hustling? #createlounge

[Vanessa Gonzales @vanalexoblog]

@justinesones Exactly!

[Vanessa Gonzales @vanalexoblog]

A3: I know I need to break when I'm not fulfilled by the things I am doing. #createlounge https://t.co/c22owwAF2j

Q3: When do you know it’s time to take a break from the hustle + rest? #createlounge

[Vanessa Gonzales @vanalexoblog]

@kayla_hollatz From a student's perspective, it can be difficult to balance hustle/rest! I wrote a post about it: https://t.co/okVW030aS0

[Vanessa Gonzales @vanalexoblog]

A2: They absolutely can! I like to get to a good stopping point in my work and relax or do something social! https://t.co/OvJF1hZbkK

[Kayla // Copywriter @kayla_hollatz]

Q2: Can hustle + rest coexist? How so? #createlounge

[Vanessa Gonzales @vanalexoblog]

@hudsonandseine Hang in there!

[Vanessa Gonzales @vanalexoblog]

@SaraMBrink I completely agree!

[Vanessa Gonzales @vanalexoblog]

#createlounge I'm Vanessa, and I am a KU student and blogger. I haven't blogged in awhile, but I'm just popping in. I love pop music!

Between finding free coffee and sitting in my cubicle, I feel like an adult.
