Staying balanced sucks on any normal day. It’s even worse when you wake up running behind and continue be that way for the rest of the day. Top it off with every single distracted driver possible, forgetting an important “date” and not being able to just find any peace? Well, it sucks. How do you [...]

There are too many people in college. There. I said it. A bold statement, but true. I guess I am writing this out of aggravation, frustration and good ole irritation.

I am working away from home right now and have been all week. Why? My current productivity has sucked. I know, why? Well, I always seem to be finding other things to do.
