You basically have to be willing to devote your life to journalism if you want to break in. Treat it like it's medical school or law school.

When interviewing for a job, tell the editor how you love to report. How your passion is gathering information. Do not mention how you want to be a writer, use the word "prose," or that deep down you have a sinking suspicion you are the next Norman Mailer.

Be prepared to do a lot of things for free. This sucks, and it's unfair, and it gives rich kids an edge. But it's also the reality.

A little girl had thrown a bottle with a note in the waters off Long Island. Two years after her tragic death, it was delivered to her mother.

When Sidonie Fery was 10, she wrote a note, put it in a ginger ale bottle and let it drift in the waters off Long Island. In 2010, Sidonie died after falling off a cliff at her boarding school in Switzerland. She was 18.

The message in the bottle was a quote from her favorite movie, "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure." It said, "Be excellent to yourself, dude." Last year, the bottle was discovered amid debris from Hurricane Sandy by workers cleaning up in Patchogue.

Pope Francis Demands Statue Of Himself Be Removed, And Not Just Because It Was Hideous

Argentina, we know you love your native son, but he was all, “Are you actually kidding me, Buenos Aires?”

Pope Francis may like to look at Macbooks while on a boat like a boss, but there is one thing he does NOT like. And that's statues of himself. Just don't.

[He] got upset when he learned that they had made a statue with his image, and that it was placed in the garden next to the Metropolitan Cathedral to honor him. They say that, without delay, he grabbed the phone, called Buenos Aires' Curia and emphatically asked it to be removed immediately. "Get that right away," he told the priest who answered the phone. The request was answered promptly.

Pope Francis doesn't play. It's because he abhors the "cult of personality." He was even cheered by a crowd recently and said everyone should be cheering Jesus, not him. But before he laid down the smack, some photos were taken.

You’ll also tell them an alternate way to make it that’s much healthier — have they ever tried spaghetti squash? It works great and doesn’t have carbs! Did they know you can make a sugar-free, grain-free cupcake in their microwave in less than two minutes that also has tons of fiber? Well, you did!

You send them pictures of every single meal you make.

All of them, even if it's something you've made before but have given a minor tweak. The message following the photo — which you've already posted to Instagram — will explain the ingredients used in said meal as well as the "thumbs-up" emoticon.

You make going out for meals extra difficult to organize because of your dietary restrictions.
