Moving away from home was by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I’m not talking about college. My entire college career was nothing in comparison to this. But living in the next state over is nothing like packing everything you own into your car and road tripping across the country. I wouldn’t go as far…

WHY I AM CHOOSING HAPPINESS
For most of my life, I’ve lived according to what I think other people expect me to do. Try hard in school, work towards something greater, always on — never stopping to think about what’s best for me. Even when I’m deciding what I want most in life, part of me has always thought about…
Read MoreWHEN WILL I STOP WAITING FOR MY LIFE TO START?
Like most of what I write, this post was inspired by a conversation I had not too long ago. We were talking about the future and where we were in our career so far. And then the conversation turned to how we were always waiting for our lives to “start,” as if everything we had…

The other day I heard someone talking about how they don’t like calling pursuing your passions “dreaming”, because dreaming is for sleeping, and you should be active in going after what you want. You have to chase after what you want and put in a lot of hard work. I agree with that to a…
Read More2014 IN REVIEW
