Take the Reigns on This Holiday’s Hustle

Ever notice how this time of year zips by before we can blink? Between finishing finals, visiting family, keeping traditions alive and buying presents for everyone, it's easy to get lost in the holly jolly of it all. This is my favorite time of year because it is spent with friends and family around the…

If you’re someone struggling with motivation…

...it's okay because you're definitely not alone. By this point in the semester everything is double as important, but your motivation may only be halfway present. I know what it's like to wake up every morning with the intentions of completing a long list of to-do's and going to bed at night having only finished…

Embrace selfish

I know what you're thinking. Being considered selfish isn't exactly a compliment. But, I've seen recently that sometimes its okay to put yourself first and not worry about pleasing everyone or doing what you think you have to do. Sometimes its okay to admit to yourself that you know EXACTLY what it will take for…

A Letter To My Graduating Big

Dear Biggy, It's hard to believe that our collegiate time together is drawing to a close. If I had known I would meet people like you in college, I wouldn't have been so scared to start Freshman Year. When I decided to rush and I wasn't quite sure where I belonged, once I met you,…

Our Time

When I think about the concept of time it makes me feel small. Who can even in thought comprehend it? Don't you ever wonder where life would take you if you didn't allow yourself to spend time thinking about your past, wishing it had gone differently?

Take Time

What is life without adventure?  Adventures have the ability to clear your mind and to spark a fire within you. This past Thursday, that was exactly what I needed. Instead of taking the classic Spring Break trip, I stayed in my hometown and spent time with my family. It wasn't exactly the most exciting week…

Purpose

  "Like fireworks we pull apart the dark." In the Embers by Sleeping At Last Each and every one of us wakes up each day to experience a series of moments. We write our own stories and each time we think we know the end, we don't. Perhaps luck exists somewhere between the world of planning,…

College As Told By Drake Lyrics

This thing called college is practically inexplicable.  The stress, the fun, the relationships we build here, are all parts of what make this experience unlike any other.  As finals are quickly approaching, emotions are running high and who better to put these emotions into words than Drake.  Somehow he internalizes the trials and tribulations of…

What’s Meant To Be Will Be

"Life is an ocean and waves are our paths." I've always been someone who fully immerses myself in everything.  Sometimes it kicks me where it hurts, but most of the time it gets me where I need to go.  Whether it be in relationships, school, extra-curriculars, or personal goals, I approach things with a drive I…

It’s Time To Realize That Change is Inevitable

It is quite fitting to write this on the first day of October and as we are shifting into Fall. I like to think it's not a coincidence that this is my inspiration today. Have you ever noticed that once everything finally falls into place, something happens and throws everything off kilter? You freak out because nothing…
