Big City Dreams > Big Stage Defeat (The twisty road to NYC/B1G Tournament)
In honor of March Madness ending and the beginning of April, I thought it would be fun to look back at where it all started; The conference tournaments. As some of you might know and some of you are about to learn, I am a huge sports fan. Like yelling at the TV, pouting, throwing […]
And then she knew, you can become homesick for people too

New Year, New You??… I think not.
The time has come when we start seeing the #newyearnewyou and all the other bullshit that comes with it. I can’t lie, I’ve said that same thing, but this year, I vow to be different. I want to set goals instead of resolutions. The resolutions I set, are never maintained and then am left with […]
Closer to thirty than twenty and still just as clueless.
When most little kids are growing up, they get this super unrealistic timeline of how their life is going to turn out. They imagine themselves going off to college at eighteen, knowing what exactly their major is going to be, graduating college in no more than four years and landing their dream job right out […]
