Why hide your wedding band?

I thought it was interesting that people would hide wedding or engagement rings for their job. I understand that people think it might show lack of commitment to the job but who would put their job over there family, although I know many people do. I just don't think it is necessary to put your ring in your pocket unless you are going to work for a sex agency or something of that matter. I think it is important to show who you really are in a job interview and hiding something so important is only showing a part of who you really are.
Something that I hadn't thought about before was what not to say during an interview when an interviewer asks you your weaknesses. I learned to make sure to make sure to let them know a weakness that can turn out to still be an asset in whatever job you are applying for.

By the time 2017 gets here there are so many things I want to have accomplished with my academics,with sports, with my family and with a career. So I guess I'll begin in short-term goals and go from there:
1. Graduate from Clemson University with honors.
2.My Junior year I want to be in the top 4 in the ACCs in the hurdles and top 6 in the region. I want to be in the top 8 in the long jump and I also want to learn the technical aspects of the long jump so that I can be more successful in it.
3 My senior year I want to be in the top 2 in the hurdles in ACCs and top 4 in the region for hurdles. In the long jump I want to be in the top 5 and to have met the regional qualifying standard.
4.I want to attend graduate school at Clemson University and get a masters in either marketing or something to do with administration.
5. I want to have at least put myself in a position to have several job offers lined up or either in a place where I can have a wonderful internship in administration at a college or professional team.
Those are my academic goals for the next 10 years, now I will talk about my personal goals for the next 10 years.
1. I want to be married in the next 5 years to my wonderful boyfriend Darius.
2.I want to have at least 2 or 3 kids by then. Hopefully 2 boys and a girl.
3.I want to be financially stable with little or no debt.
4. I want to strengthen my faith and have a family that has a strong faith.
5. One thing that I am really going to strive for is to help my grandmas out so that they have no worries as they age. I want to give back to them just as much as they have given to me.
My main goal of them all is to just be happy and secure in me and be able to grow and prosper mentally, physically, and emotionally!!!

All about Mii!!!









Hi...My name is Krystal Danielle Barringer. I am a junior majoring in Sports Management. I was born on July 17 at 6:30 pm. I have a little sister who is 14 and who is in her first year of high school. Im somewhat of a tomboy/pretty girl HOWEVER that works. I got recruited for volleyball, basketball and track from almost every D-1 school you can think of but I ended up choosing Clemson to run track. As odd as it may sound I chose to run track in college although volleyball is my favorite sport to play. I LOVE COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!!! I also LOVE Ray Lewis and the Baltimore Ravens.My favorite color is pink and my favorite number is 5. Any day you can find me watching Charmed, Nip tuck, Monk,Bridezillas, Army Wives(although its not on anymore), and my newest favorite t.v. shows are Burn Notice and Psych. I love slow music Luther and Patti are my all-time favorite artist. I think dogs are the greatest things in the world. I am the godparent of 2 pit bulls that I named lil'mama and papa smurf..lol!!! I love my 2 grandmas they are my heart. I'm a very bubbly person although I enjoy being by myself more than I enjoy being in groups. More importantly I'm the person who always gets along with people that others just cant stand...WELL THAT'S ME IN A NUTSHELL!!!
