First Time Honkytonk Line Dancing
Oct. 10, 2014—I’m no fan of country music, I don’t see the big deal in wearing cowboy boots, and I absolutely refuse to say the southern linguistic conundrum of “y’all.” And I’m from Houston! Ironic, isn’t it? Granted, Houston is probably one of the least stereotypically “Southern” cities, since almost every building is fairly new and consists...
A Night in the Wild
Oct. 8, 2014—Over the weekend, I got together with 7 other guys and we went camping in Tennessee’s very own Percy Priest Lake. We knew we wanted to go camping.

The Kent/Blossom Music Festival
Aug. 17, 2014—Located in the little town of Kent, OH, the Kent/Blossom Music Festival is where I spent the last couple of weeks. Each morning, I’ll wake up, maybe go on a run or read or practice a little (or if I actually wake up early enough, all three!), and by 9:30, I’ll settle into a classroom...

5 Things That I Will Not Regret Doing In College
Jul. 16, 2014—Oh dear. I'm going to be a senior this year. How did I get so old so fast? Move-in day is still so fresh in my mind- most likely because I do it every year- but boy, did the past three years go by quickly. Say, did you just ask for advice, young ones? Here you go:
