When I was in college thinking about what senior electives to take, I recall professors saying "you don't want to be a mile wide and an inch deep, but you also don't want to be an inch wide and a mile deep." The message was pretty clear: don't make yourself too well-rounded because you won't…
There are times in life when you will need to get psyched. Maybe you have to give a big presentation, maybe you are about to go on a big date, maybe you need an extra boost before a night out, or maybe it is a slow day at work and you are trying not to…
I'm a person of the Millennial generation, and I've noticed that many people around my same age have a knack for being late all the time. Now, this isn't just limited to our generation, I feel like people of all ages are guilty of it, but we are probably the worst offenders. In this post…

Nowadays, most people prefer the convenience of the cell phone, or "21st Century Pocket-watch" (that's what I call it), and I think that's a shame, because the good old-fashioned analog wristwatch is a…
