Happy Elon Day! I graduated in May 2017 from Elon University in Elon, North Carolina. It’s a small(ish), liberal arts school that educates the northeast on southern charm (it’s got a lot of kids from Connecticut and New Jersey who like frats and country music). Every March we celebrate Elon Day — a day dedicated to fundraising and donating, but also focused on appreciating a fantastic university and the opportunities it affords its students. Even though I’m officially a real world freshman, I still wanted to celebrate, and of course, that involves a blog post highlighting the top ten lessons I took with me from university. Let’s get started! 1.…

My school runs on a three semester cycle — we have a fall and spring semester, but we also have a winter term (also known as J-Term because it is during the month on January) that is one month dedicated to…
Treasure Tuesday
I’ve been making reading for pleasure a higher priority in my life and now read for 20 minutes before I go to sleep (instead of falling asleep to Netflix)! 2. The best kind of exercise there is. 3. As you all may know, your favorite guest author is currently living in Germany. He spent this past weekend in France and ended up meeting someone from my hometown.
