I talked about investing yesterday. Investing in mutual funds, index funds, ETFs, and automated investment portfolios are all relatively safe and good reliable investments.  If you had $1000 and no idea how to invest, most people will guide you to one of the things listed above.  But what is truly the best investment you can… Continue reading

I shook Stuart Weitzman’s hand today. When Mr Weitzman arrived at the lecture room, he immediately took the time to go down the line and personally shake everyone’s hand, while also offering a kind and genuine smile. He approached people with nonchalance, and his 76-year-old frame made him seem exceedingly unintimidating. As I watched him… Continue reading

Today I went to a birthday party ( it was the birthday of the kid I taught magic to last week ) After the food was served and the cake was cut and “happy birthdays” were sung, all the kids were dispersed to freely play among themselves throughout the house.

Sometimes we are too afraid to ask for things. Can you help me with this? I don’t understand this concept. Can you explain it again? Is it okay if we do it this way?

They were awesome. I think it’s interesting when people surprise you like that. Especially when you don’t expect them to… Continue reading

Unfortunately, I can’t actually produce money with my magical capabilities. If I could, I probably wouldn’t be in school right now and would probably be travelling the world doing fun and great things. But on Sunday, I was paid for my magic. To teach it, specifically. On Saturday, October 28th, I met a couple at… Continue reading

Today is Halloween. Dressing up for Halloween is fun. But if you wore a costume and dressed up when it’s not Halloween and you are not attending a convention of sorts, then it gets weird. People will stare at you because you are out of place. The reason it works on Halloween is that everyone is… Continue reading

Excel is truly my kryptonite… I am currently 5 assignments behind the regular paced schedule, and instead of doing work today, I took a horrible 2-hour nap on a couch. I’ve tried to do some of the work, but today, it literally took me 10 minutes to finish 1 step out of a 20 step… Continue reading
