book review vol. eleven: Twentysomething

Remember my two cool friends who started their own t-shirt co.? One of those sweet girls, upon hearing me express my feelings about my current life situation, recommended and later loaned me this book, for which I am thankful indeed.
Twentysomething: Surviving and Thriving in the Real World by Margaret Feinberg.
As I was reading through this [...]

all things cool

Meet my two cool friends, Kim and Natalie (affectionately known as Kimmy and Nat-town, respectively). As if you weren’t already sure that they were cool based on the picture, let me share, in no particular order, a few reasons why they are cool:

If you feel worried about joining the comment-conversation, don’t, because you certainly won’t be the first random person to post [...]

Ninja Warrior!!

I really really hope to have an opportunity to participate in this competition when I’m over in Asia. If I don’t get to do it over there, then I want to build the course in my backyard upon returning. The video you just watched/are fixing to watch is round 2 of 4 rounds. If you’d [...]
