You might not believe it, but I love to dance. Yep, your buddy Caleb thinks dancing is one of the most enjoyable things to do in college. Massive dance parties, social events, tailgates, and even swing dancing (which I’m terrible at btw), are all a blast to me. I’m not at all graceful or swift,…
In January of 2013, I started a new tradition. My dad has been doing it for a long time and it’s a fun way to keep things fresh each year. Pick a keyword for the New Year. As a college student, I do this on a semester basis. At the start of each semester, I identify an…
For some reason, I’ve been blessed with a good memory. Sometimes, it freaks people out a little bit.

Back in the summer of 2011, my dad, with his connections in north Fulton County’s business community, graciously took the time to set up several lunch meetings for me with some of the area’s most respected business leaders. I was a rising senior in high school at the time and was eager to begin exploring…
I am a terrible musician, but I love music. Without a doubt, music is one of my passions. It relates to others in a way that is unlike any other medium of expression. The music we listen to becomes the soundtrack of our life. Through the good and the bad, the highs and lows, music…
It is remarkably easy to take pride in one’s own accomplishments, ambitions, and titles. Be it professional, academic, or athletic success, it feels natural to take pride in accomplishing the goals we set for ourselves.

That’s a great question. Today there are over 70 million active WordPress bloggers covering just about every issue, field, topic, organization, and occupation in the United States.
