Falling (In Love?)
Falling in Love, what a bizarre phrase I romanticize the idea of romantic love. I have never felt it before, but I’ve watched The Notebook a handful of times already, which is essentially the equivalent of saying I have a LinkedIn certificate on love. Falling in Love. I romanticize the “love” part, but in reality,… Continue reading

Setting Myself up for Failure, The Overview Effect, and Creating Memories
When you are on a fast-moving train and you pass another train at a station, there is no way for the human mind to cognize whether the other train is moving in the opposite direction or is sitting still. Everything is a blur passing by. It is often a brief moment in time where you… Continue reading

Advice for college students
Don’t be in a rush My first advice is this: if you are in college, you are probably anywhere from the age of 18–22. Now imagine this. If you are 20, you could do NOTHING right, and fail at everything you try for the next 10 YEARS. And you’d still be young So don’t be in a… Continue reading

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. In fact, it was two professors, one from Princeton, who actually released a paper in 2002 that detailed why attending super-selective colleges had no impact on future career salaries (economic benefits) How did… Continue reading

Here we go again
I always thought it funny that in college, all the final exams come at the same time. I really hope life isn’t like that. I hope that your ability to complete tasks and your knowledge on certain subjects isn’t focused on a concentrated exam. It doesn’t do anyone justice. Because, as most people know, habits… Continue reading

Almost done!
The semester is almost done and of course, I am overwhelmed with a sense of bittersweetness. Sweet in all the memories I’ve made; bitter in all the stupid tests and stress caused by examination when I want to simply pursue knowledge. Sweet in all the fun moments I’ve had with my friends over dinner; bitter… Continue reading

Big fish, small pond
When granted the opportunity, it’s much better for your own self-esteem and personal success if you choose to be a big fish in a small pond, rather than a small fish in a big pond. Here’s the issue with being a small fish in a big pond. Sure, you’re in the big pond now, but you’ll get eaten.… Continue reading

independent study
I believe that to be a true academic, you have to have some background in “independent study” while pursuing your education. Independent study on an area that you are passionate about. I always felt like I was being spoon-fed knowledge while in high school I was right, because now with the advanced freedom at Villanova,… Continue reading
