First Things First: After you read this go buy some stuff.
One day in 2019 I'm sitting on my couch, freshly off the wrap up of my college degree; Completing full time college and work, receiving a new job offer, and thinking of my next item to take up my time (Because people of my age and generation are always on the hustle).
