Dealing with Anxiety: “Speak It Into Your Existence”
I feel like I’m drowning, buried deep under the waves of my own anxiety and fears. Far Too Frequent So often, within the confines of Higher Education, students are over-involved. They will fill their days with meetings and clubs and classes. One involvement leads to another, one position encourages a next. This cycle is ever […]
“You are the Clownfish to My Anemone”
Anyone who has seen Finding Nemo knows that clownfish like anemone. They also know that “anemone” is really hard to say. This weekend, I went to the aquarium in Norwalk, CT with my family. We saw a fish go through the anemone, and the anemone seemed to actually brush the fish. It was pretty darn […]
#TeamHuman Since WAYYY Before You Were Born

This time, we decided to ask #TeamHuman the very important question: How do you hug? The answers were…unexpected. Ch-ch-check it out! Bonus points if you know how […]
Why Little Moments Have The Biggest Impact
I’m told the Earth moves on its own. Time is fleeting. It is often said that the older we get, the faster time moves. To quote Andy Bernard from ‘The Office’, “I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days before you’ve actually left them”. We often only appreciate a moment for […]
How a Free Meal at Chipotle Reminded Me to Pay it Forward
New Chorizo? Sure, I’ll try it. Brown rice, no beans, pico, sour cream, cheese, guac, lettuce with a bag of chips. I usually get steak, but other than that, there you have my standard Chipotle order. The manager was training a new staff member and pulled him over to observe processing the order in the computer. The manager looks […]
