I Guess I Should Tell You…

Lost in the Right Direction: Part 7
High school and Freshman year of college is such a weird time. You feel kind of like an adult, but you're not. You feel kind of like a kid, but you're not. The world is asking big questions of you like: what are you doing with your life? What will you study to be someone when you grow up? But is also asking you to still hold on to your youthful glow. It's a period of limbo. Especially right after … [Read more...] about Lost in the Right Direction: Part 7
