Hey guys. Just wanted to give you all a heads up that my MSN web series “HerSay” has come to an end. Ironically, the job ended right before Labor Day which turned out to be more of a Lack-of-Labor Day for me—and most of the rest of America I’m sure. Now to make sure I didn’t just sit on the couch depressed and watch Dog Whisperer marathons, I decided to set some “unemployment golden rules.” See below.
TORY’S T0-DO LIST FOR UNEMPLOYMENT
1. Don’t spend all my money
2. Try anything and all things to make money. This might include a Starbucks barista job or working at a local marijuana dispensary. Both have good benefits
3. Cancel expensive private trainer at the gym
4. Keep in shape by walking dogs at slightly higher pace.
5. Everyday try to accomplish one scary thing, even if that scary thing is just going to Target all by myself. (C’mon, that’s a fucking overwhelming store.)
6. Make the bed every morning
7. Get out of bed every morning
8. Be mindful
9. Drink more water
10. Try to invent something clever and useful
11. Play the lottery
12. Stay in my Acting class
13. Stay in my Improv class
14. Stay involved in Casting Workshops
15. Ask parents politely to see if they would like to sponsor their daughter’s education by paying for all the above.
16. Have the brakes checked on my car
17. Get back in touch with camp friends
18. Start an Etsy store and sell homemade knitted dog sweaters
19. Have faith in myself as an artist
20. Find out how much I can make recycling bottles
Alright you guys, I would love to hear from you about your favorite “unemployment tips.” Comment AWAY!!!!
I am familiar with unemployment to an embarrassing degree. You can write sketch with me if you want, it doesn’t pay anything but at least I feel artistic. Are you near the end of your 301 now or what? KEEP ME POSTED WTFM8!
21. Finally get around to giving that Nigerian prince my bank account information so he can transfer that $47,000,000 he says he owes me…
Sorry about the show,but there is always a light at the end. This is just a bump to something better. You have a tremendous talent and a great resume. I can’t wait to see what’s next for you. Keep the faith and be strong. And we will see you soon on the screen big or small. Be good

You might want to switch number 6 and number 7…it might help to get out of bed before you make it. 🙂
But other than that..they sound good. The one thing I would say, I know you are going to get back into the acting world soon, so while you are joining the rest of us in the real world, find a job that you would like to do, that interests you or intrigues you or gives you a chance to do something you enjoy. I mean it I know its work, but you can find work that gives you at least some pleasure. You love working with animals, you love the idea of mediation and yoga, maybe one of those ideas might help.
No matter what, I know you’ll do great. And I can’t wait to see you,
<3
