Today my professor, Frank Shushok, blew my mind. He’s one of my favorite colleagues from a mentorship perspective, and has been a great friend of mine since I realized how much I loved higher education and the university environment years ago. After a group presentation in class today, he shared a book with us. When …

Really impressed.
I’m always really impressed by people who keep in touch the way I keep in touch. I’m always really impressed, also, by people who take the same to say thank you, even when a thank you isn’t expected. As always, this post will also center around a pretty prominent theme in my life: what goes …
Sorry 4 tha wait.
Well, if you didn’t catch the Lil Wayne reference in the subject line, that’s because you’re not nearly as familiar with Weezy as you should be. It’s also in anticipation of me reuniting with one of my very best college friends this week, Ari, during a trip to Richmond for Hokie Day. The first week …

Thank your mail man.
You know, I’m just sitting here Facebook chatting with a good friend, and I started wondering about ways to say thank you. For no real reason, I just love that phrase – thank you. It’s also a big theme in the book I’m reading right now, being thankful for the little things and appreciating whatever …
