    2. You are not other people’s perceptions.
    3. Success is not a job title.
    4. Nature revives you more than a night out ever would.

    7. You are your main priority.
    8. Just because an opportunity is presented to you, doesn’t mean it’s the right one.
    9. Journaling is not just to set your day up for success, it helps set your life up.
    10. Outwardly expressing gratitude is not just to lighten the mood for those around you, but helps you internally.
    11. Hobbies are important.
    12. Being a bad cook isn’t a personality trait. Learning to cook is a part of growing up that should be explored.
    13. Be the one to keep your friend group together if you feel like it’s growing distant. Sometimes, it only takes that one message in the old group chat.

    18. Take the time to spend quality time with your parents.
    19. You don’t always need closure. Some things just end, and that's okay.
    20. When you’re with friends having a great time, tell yourself to remember that moment and capture how it feels. You’ll thank yourself later.
    21. You don’t have to wear all black when you go out.
    22. You are exactly where you are meant to be.

    29. James A. Mathew: Harvard Student Body President, Converse Fellow, Co Founder of 'Got Food?' and '21 Colorful Crimsons', Music Artist ... CHANGE MAKER

      Hello everyone! Thanks for listening to this week’s episode. James was an absolute pleasure to speak with. I don't know if I ever met someone more accomplished before in my life, and he is only a senior in college. James is Harvard’s student body president, alongside his VP, Ify. You may have seen their sick campaign video (check out the link below!) on the Kelly Clarkson show, Twitter, and anywhere else things go viral.

      He is a talented musician, making music with his younger brother and with the group 21 Colorful Crimson that he helped found. As if he didn't have enough on his plate already, he is currently a fellow at Converse!  He is not afraid to speak about social justice and is passionate about change. I met James off of ~the internet~ on an app called Clubhouse. There, he uses his platform to advocate for young voters with a campaign called 99 Problems.

      Thanks for being on the pod, James!

    30. Bryan Costabile: PLL Player at Atlas LC
      Imagine becoming a professional athlete during a pandemic… Bryan did! Baltimore Native, Bryan Costabile, was selected second overall in the 2020 PLL College Draft by Atlas LC.
      Like most Marylanders, Bryan grew up playing lacrosse. In high school, it started to pick up for him. He played on the U19 USA team before attending college at Notre Dame, where he played D1 Lacrosse. He graduated in from college in May of 2020, but his lacrosse career didn't end there. 
      Now,  he plays for Premier League Lacrosse for the team Atlas LC, the same team that one of the founders plays on! 
      “Costabile enters his professional career following a sensational 3+ years at Notre Dame. Prior to the shortened 2020 season, Costabile entered the year on the Tewaaraton Watch List and as a preseason First Team All-American. Costabile ended the 2019 season as the ACC Player of the Year, a First Team All-American, and a Tewaaraton Award nominee. He ranks ninth in Notre Dame program history for career goals (99) and 19th for career points (118)” (premierlacrosseleague.com)
      Bryan currently lives in the Fed Hill area of Baltimore and will continue his two-year contract with Atlas LC. He also accepted a job with Under Armor and will be beginning on Monday. Good luck Bryan!

      Laura Vogel is a boss babe, to say the least. She is the founder and designer of handbag company Vogelle. Vogelle focuses on the classic shoulder bag styles and cardholders, all sourced from Italian leather. Laura studied abroad in Milan, where she met locals that repaired leather motorcycle seats, sparking the idea of a leather goods venture. Before university, Laura began to model, inspiring her to break into the fashion industry from a different standpoint. Even though she broke into the business world, she has been able to keep up modeling, now being represented by Wilhelmina Denver. You may have seen her bags on your Instagram feed. Vogelle purses can be seen on some of the top influencer pages, such as Caelynn Miller-Keyes from The Bachelor, and US Women's National Team player Mallory Pugh (who played in The FIFA World Cup in 2019, and she is only 22!). Laura is a Colorado native and University of Colorado Boulder 2020 graduate, with a degree in  Finance & Marketing. Follow Vogelle to see her in action!
