I think I speak for many of the friends I had in high school and college by saying, “I was involved in a lot.” Many of the people I knew in high school and college were involved in countless clubs, organizations, majoring in twenty different things, and doing thousands of extracurricular activities. It wasn’t just [...]

I’ve never felt like I’m good with money. But, since graduating from college almost a year ago now, I’ve had a handful of both peers and elders tell me that I evidently have a lot going for me in the financial management department. I think part of it is understanding where your money goes and [...]

I’ve heard from my manager to never use it, I’ve experienced the drag it can have on a relationship, I often overuse it, and Richard Hoover may say that it serves as a sign of weakness. The phrase is “I’m sorry.”

In Malcom Gladwell’s latest, “Outliers,” he examines the factors that contribute to high levels of success, looking at how Bill Gates and others achieved their extreme levels of success through 10,000+ hours of dedication to their field.
As children, many of us want to be the influential figure to change our field of interest entirely, but [...]

I recently received the “Bartender’s Pocket Guide” by Kathy Hamlin from my father for Christmas, and after looking through the countless recipes and informative lessons, I wanted to know how to put together a perfect bar in my house. This wouldn’t be something just to satisfy my preferences in alcohol (which are limited), but be [...]

This isn’t so much something that I’ve learned, but it might serve as inspiration for those reading it, and sets in stone what I plan to do in the next year.
