I’m going to be honest, I forgot I had an official Twitter account I could have shared this on months ago. I did not take down HTGTFU. Tumblr deleted it, without cause, without warning. When I appealed, they said it was too late, it’s all or nothing and it was gone.

If you want to connect, you can find me on my main:

@typesetjez

It’s mostly libraries and politics and sometimes real life. I won’t be answering questions there like I did on the blog or here, but it’s there for those of you who asked.

I do teach classes at libraries/schools/community centers and because of the pandemic, they’re all online now, available and free to anyone who wants to learn. Go to jezlayman.com to find the schedule of who is hosting me when. Maybe I’ll see some of you soon.

The internet is impermanent, but I hope the lessons you took from HTGTFU will stay with you. I hope we could help you in some way, and I hope you’ll pass on that knowledge. I love you and I’m proud of the people you’ve become. Keep growing.

You can still access a lot of the guides if you use the WayBack Machine and type in howtogrowthefuckup.com I’m glad I had a URL for it or it wouldn’t even be there.

Everyone please please please use the scholarship search on BigFuture.collegeboard.com. There are scholarships for EVERYTHING and many of them have very few requirements.

Get spooked if you see/hear ads like this: “Get student loan forgiveness in one week!" It’s likely a scam. Details: bit.ly/2znxmmJ

I don’t care if it makes me old; sitting at home knitting and rewatching the sitcoms on repeat sounds infinitely better than socializing.

When seeking an increase on your current salary in a new job, stick to 5-10% more.

Do NOT type in $0.00 as your current or desired salary just bc you don't want to discuss money!! Answer the questions you're asked.

As a hiring manager, the very first thing he does when he receives a resume is run spell check.

Hosting a program on interviews today. Speaker says they have group interviewers play Pictionary to see how people interact & communicate.

That's fantastic! Good luck! twitter.com/Jess92xo/statu
