When I was in college, I took a Jazz History class during my last semester of my senior year. There were two reasons for this: I needed an extra humanities credit to graduate, and my friend told me it was an easy A. As it turns out, it was an easy A, which was nice…
I have a confession to make: I am a Millennial. I grew up in the '90s watching "Rugrats" and "Hey Arnold!" while drinking gallons of Surge, and I have no regrets. If you are a Millennial like myself then that sentence may have brought back a "surge" of nostalgia. Man, those were the days. But…
Let me just start out by stating that I am a self-proclaimed introvert (ISTP if you are the Myers-Briggs type), so I am by no means bashing introverts in this article. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I want to say that seeing the multitude of "X Things Only Introverts Understand" headlines…
Ah, January 1st. A day that I usually spend on the couch watching all the great college football bowl games. It's a wonderful day to just completely veg. What I don't like to do, though, is make a new year's resolution. I've never really understood why the arbitrary passing of one year to the next…
So, you've read my post on why you should wear a watch, and you are sold that you shouldn't leave your wrist naked any more. Great! But now, where on earth do you begin when it comes to what watch to buy? A quick query through your favorite shopping website will find a multitude of…

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…
There is a lot going on in the world right now, but then again, there always is. Unlike previous eras, we now live in a time where information can travel through a variety of paths to reach our conscience. At first, it was just the morning paper or word of mouth, then came the television…
So Rush is pretty much the best band ever. They combine outstanding musicianship with excellent song structures and original, thought provoking themes. These are all influenced by their drummer and lyricist, Neil Peart. He is regarded by many as the greatest drummer of all time, but I believe his lyrics are what made Rush a…
