I am nearing, or experiencing, a lot of "lasts". The final part of my term as Vice President of my fraternity. The final month of college classes in my undergraduate college experience. The final semester of college golf. The final week until I turn 21 (I'm just getting old). It's all, of course,…
My mind is extremely emotional. My mind is extremely analytical. It's not necessarily a great mixture. But it's who I am... So let's make it work. Here's what I know: I am always thinking about the future. I am always thinking about how each thing that I say, each thing that I do, each…
