A buddy I met in my psych 101 class at community college, who my friends and I refer to as Tye Dye, is a unique character. Tye Dye was that guy in class who annoyingly participates and shares personal stories EVERY possible chance he gets. To say he was an overachiever is an understatement. He…
I’m writing at a local Starbucks, and some guy I’d see there from time to time sits next to me. He looked like Jacob from the movie Road Trip: long-ish blond hair styled similar to a bowl-cut, but all over the place like he’d just walked out of the strip club. Know-it-all glasses complemented with…
Me: Are you fucking kidding me? On a trampoline? Frat Kid: Yuuuh bro. This week’s gonna be low key the most epic shit ever. Me: What’s better than calling everyone at the party a pussy while sipping on Mike’s Hard Lemonade all night? He didn’t sense the sarcasm, but that is to be expected with…
I’m at a party and some guy across the room is pointing and laughing at me with his friends. This isn’t uncommon when I go out, but that doesn’t make it any less annoying. I get a closer look at him: The dude was built like a yam. Gravity was no longer just a theory…
Every moment is an eternity. Trapped in exhaustion, drowning in uncertainty, a prisoner of the unknown. I was losing the battle to disease, no matter what I did. For months I could not take a full breath without feeling an excruciating, stabbing abdominal pain. My hands were turning yellow, my vision would randomly blur,…
Classmate: Uhhh, I read your paper. Me: Shit. Why would you do that? Classmate: Um because we were supposed to. How the hell did you come up with that? Me: What do you mean? Classmate: You wrote about strippers, a frog held hostage, and had random rap lyrics throughout. Me: Don’t forget about cocaine and…
This post is meant to offer clarity of what having a purpose means in a short & concise manner. What is having a purpose? Your purpose = your mission + The Path you’re on. Without a mission, there is no big picture of what you’re pursuing. Without The Path, we’re susceptible to negative influences that…
I’m not really the guy to pick up on girl’s type, but we all have our moments: I’m in the library not doing any work and something catches my eye. A girl. She had blond hair and a was wearing a shirt that said “Pink” that wasn’t pink at all. I don’t think twice and…
The “life is a marathon” phrase has become well accepted and commonly used, but is it truly the best representation of how we should approach our goals? Are the characteristics of a marathon truly superior to the characteristics of a sprint? I believe approaching life in the lens of a sprint over a marathon is far…
Guy: I want to get my book published. Me: What’s stopping you? Guy: No interest from any agents. Me: Have you made any changes to it? Guy: I’m not making any changes. It’s just right how it is. If it’s meant to happen, it’ll happen. Another convo: Girl: Me and my boyfriend are having problems….
