I have many personal relationships that I value highly. Whether that be with my parents, my fraternity brothers, my mentors... They are all important to me. However, as a very individualistic person, I sometimes feel like all people are good for is getting in the way. I've always had a mind with a slim…
How many things are we trying to figure out today? There are many puzzles in life that we try to maneuver through each day... All of them being a part of the greater puzzle of life. Pieces galore, all part of the picture of our lives. Our picture is sometimes (we feel) near complete,…
Being scared is normal. Those butterflies, feelings of unease, nervousness, sweaty palms. That is a normal reaction to anything that you put weight/value in. Whether that be a job interview, a competitive event, a first date, or a test, it's totally normal to have those feelings. However, there is a difference between being scared…
