“Do you ever sleep?” is the most common reaction I get when people find out how many organizations I am involved in and how many leadership roles I juggle. I have a note on my phone that lists everything...
Stop what you’re doing. Just stop. I want to remind you that at the end of the day, none of this really matters. Some of it matters, but not a lot of it. Hear me out. As college students, we spend...
“Remember who you are.” My parents told me this before sending me off to my first semester at the University of Alabama. It was more than just a cliché. For them, it was a way of reminding me that...
