And now for something completely different... I've had the privilege of talking to a lot of amazing people and have heard some amazing stories. Some have been social media focused. Others are just plain entertaining. Every one of my alums has had a unique career journey and these stories play a major part in who they are. These are some of my favorites.

Highlights include:

• My favorite story ever told on Why I Social
• Scott Stratten's thoughts on FOMO (fear of missing out)
• What it's like to be on the (social) scene for NYC's ball drop
