  • Every weekday, from 8AM-5PM, I sit in my apartment, and I work. I am the remote worker. I can go for a walk. But what if my boss messages me? I can take a shower. But what if my Teams status goes on yellow too long? I am the multitasker. I watch TV in the…

  • I have a friend, her name is Mary Jane. We were introduced to each other in high school but never had much of a connection. We had a handful of fun nights together but didn’t get to see each other very often. I wondered if I’d see her again. Mary and I reconnected in college,…

  • I have a friend who runs marathons. He started his journey years ago and fell in love with the grind of it. He’s recruited people to run with him, he’s worked hard to achieve fast times, and now he’s training for an ultra-super-mega marathon. That’s not actually what it’s called, it’s just a longer version…

  • When I was a senior in high school, I was required to take a philosophy course. Naturally, as a second semester senior heading off to college, I wasn’t exactly the best student. Well, I did okay on the coursework, but I wasn’t the best behaved. None of us were. To be frank, none of us…

  • I’ve always wondered why we ask people about how their job is going. The sad reality is that it’s how we spend most of our time in America. If a full-time employee works from nine to five (eight hours) and sleeps for another eight hours, only eight hours remain. Consider that most folks will require…

  • I’m not sure when I first stumbled across the Library of Babel (the website, not the book), but it has fascinated me since I was introduced. The library contains every possible combination of letters, spaces, and commas/periods under 3200 total characters. So anything you think is an original sentence or thought, is already on the…

  • I recently started reading Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time, and it is incredibly interesting. Hawking tells the story of general relativity, quantum mechanics, black holes, and all that jazz. Though the book is praised generally for its ability to make these crazy concepts easy to understand, it still is a pretty difficult read…

  • It’s becoming quite clear that I won’t reach 30 blogs in 30 days. That’s okay, it was starting to feel like work, constantly nagging my brain if I hadn’t posted anything that day. This was started as a way for me to practice my writing and give myself a journal to look back upon. It’s…

  • I recently started playing a game with my friends called ARC Raiders. For those unfamiliar, the concept of the game is simple: enter the battlegrounds, and return safely with as much loot as possible. While you are there, you’ll come across automated enemies and other players/squads. If you die, you’ll lose any loot you found…

  • One of my favorite films of all time, Dead Poets Society follows the journey of a group of boys at their elite, private high school. Inspired by one of their teachers, the boys find themselves encapsulated by poetry and the arts. In the film, the teacher reads to them an excerpt from Robert Herrick’s To…
