Taking control of my education
In the past few weeks I have been faced with the reality that I am 22 years old and have no idea what I want to do with my life. I am $15,000 in student debt with not even an associates degree to show for it. Drinking beer and having fun with my friends was more of a priority to me then taking responsibility for my academia, and now I am facing the consequences of two years worth of...

Logical thinking; is it for men only?
One of the challenges I face working in a male dominate environment is that I’m constantly reminded of my gender. It is not surprising that our society has a tendency of treating women as third rate citizens, yet at the same time we proclaim that we live in an environment where women are equal to men on all playing fields.

WatchA song of Ice and Fire is one of my absolute favorite book series and they are making it into a television series on HBO in April . After waiting for it to come out for so long, it now only has a little over a month until its launch date and I’ll be counting down the days until then.
Yeah:D
I feel so accomplished! I just got back from a 4 mile walk, literally, no exaggeration here. For everyone who knows where david and ramal live, I walked from their house all the way to the Albertson’s by the 7-eleven on cornell, and back. I am also only an hour and 15 minutes away from my 24 hour fast period, which i was almost tempted to break.

I love beer but I find it hard to stray away from the ones I typically consume. Whenever I am determined on purchasing a new beer, I always deflect to purchasing one I am accustomed to in fear of wasting my money on a bad one. So here is...
