A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. “Yes,” agreed the class. The professor then […]

“Don’t let this be the last best thing you do.” I have had that quote stuck in my head and the thought of getting to Alaska always strikes. I have dreams and goals. I want to be successful and make my family proud. I want to feel proud of myself, all while also helping not […]

Dear Journal, I apologize for holding off on this for so long. My winter break can’t be described with the word “busy.” It was amazing.

Christmas is my favorite holiday. My birthday is and always has been on the 17th of December and, as most Christmas babies will attest, this proximity to such a national holiday can either leave a bitter or a sweet taste in the mouth of the birthday experiencer. I am happy to report that my parents […]
