It’s my junior year at a school that for the past two years, I kept trying to leave every chance I got; every day I stick around, I find myself running into more reasons to stay— my people.

Risk vs. Reward– Defining Worth
There are nights when your friends ask you to go out for dinner or a movie and you answer without hesitating: Absolutely. Then of course, there are the nights when someone asks what you’re up to and you tell them something along the lines of this Harry Potter gif: So what do you do about…Read more Risk vs. Reward– Defining Worth

Life is like a Palindrome- But not Quite
Did you know that starting on the tenth, this entire week of dates has been a set of palindromes? Take a look, they read the same way backwards as they do forward: 7/10/17, 7/11/17… 7/17/17.

How to “Do Good Work”
Almost two weeks back home now and I've been catching up on my reading lists little by little.
