This may be a weird thing to admit, but when I was younger I always had a hard time picturing my future. Like I never thought I'd make it this far. Maybe I'd die young and leave a bittersweet memory, maybe I'd just vanish. But here I am, about to be 29 years old, with…
The longer I work in a corporate field, the more I realize that I define success much differently than some of the people around me. I've always known that I view life a little differently than most people. Growing up, my parents were sticklers for good grades, for me going to college, and for me…
As much as I do not want to admit I've been out of high school for 10 years, it's also nice to reflect on my life. I especially like to reflect on the parts of my life that were not-so-great, so I can see how much I've grown. High school was not good for me.…

When someone says to me a year like 2012, I think oh that wasn't long ago. It was just a year or two back, right? But in 2012, I was in my freshman year of college. 2012 was 8 years ago which actually is a lot. I can't believe how much time has passed since…
