Today is the close of a chapter, but hardly the end of a story. In the midst of the current coronavirus epidemic worldwide, we are seeing the cancellations/suspension of play across many sports, suspension of education at all levels, and really any event/gathering with a crowd is being called off. It is a fair move…
I don't normally cross-content with my blog and my podcast, especially because they are two completely different topics, but I felt that one part of my sports show crosses over with this blog. Every episode of my podcast, I slip in a 30-second reminder to take care of yourself. No matter the situation in…
As I begin to work full-time this week at my internship, I am reminded of how busy my next 8 weeks will be: Working 40 hours a week will be a new task of time management and challenges. However, I really enjoy my job and I'm excited about the busyness of the golf season to…
As I reflect on the last two weeks of my life, I recognize that many things that happened were not ideal. Although I had many things not go my way, I never found myself becoming stressed or impatient. I was disappointed that it wasn't going well, but I knew it was things I can't control.…
Earlier this morning, I was doing some normal reflecting and in the background, the song "Hand Me Downs" by Mac Miller was playing. Although that song is not about what I was thinking about, I made a quick allegorical connection to what I was thinking about and the words "hand me downs". When I…
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…
Well, I'm feeling sick again today. I don't usually feel sick that often, but it has hit me harder this winter. Regardless, me being at work while being sick made me think of a joke I always tell people: "It's all mental" is what I say when someone I know is sick or down…
2 days ago, I was doing a bit of planning. Nothing out of the ordinary, just outlining the next few weeks as I look at my calendar and such. I caught myself doing something that I do often: I made an excuse as to why I could wait to do something. Not necessarily procrastination…
Yesterday, I handed the microphone over to my friend as I finished my "mini-speech" that I gave at my fraternity's event. Soon after, myself and most of us at the event found out about the tragic passing of NBA legend Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna, among others who also passed away in a helicopter crash.…
It's another snow day here in Kansas City. I have always loved the snow and the cold. I definitely am jealous of all of the skiers in other places - I'd love to be on the mountains right now! However, I am here. The snow is a bit of a reflection of how my…
