A lesson I am learning is that time always seems to move faster and faster. It does in fact fly. Many times in Mac Miller's music, arguably my favorite musician of all-time, he uttered the line "Time flies... try and catch it." Although this is a cliché, it always rang true each time I heard…
As the saying goes, "history repeats itself." Oftentimes, in life, we see similar or the same experiences happen many times over as we maneuver through our days. We learn from these repeated scenarios and can recognize things about them in our lives as they happen. Learning comes from experience. However, sometimes we learn that this…
As you may have seen on my social media recently, I am beginning to make an emphasis on what I believe in. We all have a lot of beliefs, but this specific belief I am talking about comes from what I believe I can do in the world. I want to use my platforms, my…
As I began my graduate studies yesterday, I already had a takeaway from my business courses that is very applicable to every day application. I am a huge fan of that - any time that I can find something in one place that I know can make a difference everywhere, it brings a smile to…

As humans, we are always wanting our lives to be aligned exactly how we see fit. Every day, we have to wait for something to come - usually, it's just for a shift at work, the alarm to wake us, the car ride home, for the oven to finish cooking our dinner, etc. When…
