optimism
It’s easy to be a critic It’s easy to be negative When society sees someone going the road less traveled, or going a road that’s never been traveled, our instinct is to condemn the individual for being irrational But realism and optimism are not polar opposites In fact, a realistic optimist is the best type… Continue reading

Baby steps

why your college doesn’t matter. AT ALL
What college you attend is almost Not important at all. Instead, you should be the type of person who could attend a prestigious college.

self-contradictions
Our real Instagrams are fake Our finstas (fake Instagrams) are real… at least more real We are all self-contradictions Heroes wearing a thousand masks Are we meant to reveal our private self?

Projects
