I've been thinking a lot about my goals lately. I have new goals every day and oftentimes, they change based on what is going on around me/in my life. We should always be motivated to reach our goals, but sometimes I find myself just "hoping" that my goals are achieved. It's not that I don't…
Throughout the uncertainty that life brings, I always try to hope for the best. I understand that often times, things don't turn out like I think they will or how I want them to. However, there's always a chance that the stars align. I know I will do all that I can with what I…
Fortunately, I'm not lost in thought, but sometimes my thoughts put me in a place where I am lost. I am always thinking about something - we all are. I am someone who constantly is playing out scenarios in my head. I am looking to see how something might play out based on the decisions…
As you know, last week (a week ago today) I made a post about how I was sick and pushing through that. Well, the last 6 days were pretty rough! (Hence my week-long absence from posting.) I had bad flu-like symptoms on Tuesday and Wednesday, then Thursday and Friday my voice was completely gone and…
Yesterday, I handed the microphone over to my friend as I finished my "mini-speech" that I gave at my fraternity's event.

Hello everyone! Before I get into the meat and potatoes, I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas Eve today and a Merry Christmas tomorrow. For those of you who don't celebrate Christmas, I wish you a Happy Holidays. I hope that the holiday season is enjoyable as you spend time with family and friends.…
Over the past 24 hours, I've been very critical of myself. I am being nitpicky about what I want to be better at, what I need to "fix". Originally, it was solely in a negative outlook. I was looking at these things in my life and viewing them as "you're not good enough". It…
As I work harder on keeping my mind focused on the present and truly experiencing life, I am realizing that the gift of life is multi-faceted. Often times, I think that life just brings learning and struggle, when in reality the times that I truly experience life bring me feelings of joy, connection, etc. I've…
As I maneuvered through this weekend, I found myself being influenced by many people and many things around me. Not peer pressure, more like suggested options from other sources as to what to think, feel and do. I let other options brood in my mind, not really acting on them. When I think about…
It's amazing how 24 hours ago I was flying through 1,000,000 thoughts and this morning I'm bopping to some music and loving life. I'd say my mood changed 5 times yesterday. My mind is just a constant switch, that sometimes I don't have control of. But, at the same time, I feel like I do…
