fighting climate change
Climate change—or let’s be blunt here, global warming—is a difficult topic of discussion not only because no one genuinely understands the ramifications of a warming Earth, but also because there is not one unified blueprint to tackling the problem. We fight fire with water. We fight obesity with exercising and dieting. We fight lethargy with Continue reading

Baby steps It’s all about baby steps I still remember these words from my grade 8-9 basketball coach 1% better every day Whether that be personal life, academics, career, health, or basketball 1% better every day Don’t worry about being a millionaire overnight Celebrities aren’t made by one movie (they usually did several crappy movies Continue reading

why your college doesn’t matter. AT ALL
What college you attend is almost Not important at all. Instead, you should be the type of person who could attend a prestigious college. In fact, it was two professors, one from Princeton, who actually released a paper in 2002 that detailed why attending super-selective colleges had no impact on future career salaries (economic benefits) How did Continue reading

Different circumstances
Today I went to Milton Herschel School and man this school is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen It must be over 4 times as big as Vilanova’s 250 acre campus Children lived in mansions which houses up to 14 kids The school where they took classes looked more like a tiny college And there Continue reading

Succeed with too little or struggle with too much
My freshman year of college I had a 3.94 GPA. I had all A’s and two A-‘s. But if I am being completely honest, that doesn’t mean as much as people think. Because there’s more context to it. And I don’t want to say any of this to gloat, because there are still people who Continue reading

Being forgetful
Isn’t being forgetful one of the worst feelings in the world? Forgetting that word…It’s on the tip of my tongue, we say Forgetting to do homework, that you told yourself you’d remember to do… Forgetting that one small fact for that important test… Forgetting how it feels to hug your dog Forgetting a phone number Continue reading

How can I get food without having to cook it myself? And the answers to these questions resulted in great innovations Continue reading

First full week
This first week back from school I’ve been the most productive I’ve ever been while at Villanova. My classes don’t start until 11:30 and 1:30 PM on the 4 days I have class, But I got up before 9 AM every day. I did my morning routine, which consists of making my bed, “washroom essentials,” Continue reading

Live to trade another day
Often when I’m day trading stocks and I profit for the day, I want to keep going. I want to use the positive momentum. But what I’ve learned is that often in those instances I start trading with emotion and I end up losing partially the gains I made earlier in the day. Even with Continue reading
