Why do they say "follow your passion" like it's some easy GPS route? My passion for napping and scrolling TikTok seems to be doing a pretty good job steering me towards my couch rather than a fulfilling career. Honestly, what’s the deal with that advice? Can’t we just admit that most of us are just trying to figure out how to survive adulthood without an instruction manual? It’s like they expect u...

Someone send help or maybe just a better Wi-Fi connection.
