Great White Sharks and Chasing Childhood Dreams
Remember when you were a kid and you were always dreaming of doing amazing things when you "grew up"? Well now that you're an adult, what happened? Did you follow and achieve those same dreams?

My favorite thing to do while traveling
During this year, everyone wants some form of consistency in every city. Something they can always do even when their world is turned upside down.

Was never in a fraternity but went Greek this week
