Life Dropping: Freecycle

See what I did there? Life Dropping? Instead of Link Drop – nevermind. Let’s just move on. You might remember, folks, that your favorite internet dork got robbed. Sad, yes, but I’ve taken a few valuable life lessons from the whole ordeal, not the least of which is this: I’ve got a lot of stuff. […]

Stiff Upper Lip, Chaps

So. Graduation’s knocking. And I, much like esteemed colleague Abigail, am freaking out, man.

A Fresh Dose of Optimism

David Leonhardt may have said it best: It’s time to work. I was fortunate enough this past week to host the New York Times reporter on campus this past week during his student discussion and at the Associates Dinner.  Mr. Leonhardt writes a weekly Economics column in the Business Section of the New York Times, […]

Just let go and smile

I have this friend, Gigi, and she’s adorable, but somewhat controlling.  Everything in her world has its certain place: making her room always clean, her shoes the perfect match to every outfit, and all her t’s crossed.  While some call her an organizational freak and others call her ‘such a mom’, I like to think […]
