The world works in mysterious ways... In this episode, I tell a story about how it's always important to keep a spare hoodie/flannel in your car, you never know when it might come in handy. 

I return after what was almost a 2-year hiatus. Upon reflecting on what has been going on in the last two years, I delve into my experience as a student and a professor and analyze what it means to be a student. In short: Learning is an individual experience and you should never compare yourself to others. The only responsibility you have as a lifelong learner is to learn! Do not let school, classes, or others get in the way of expanding your knowledge and skill set. Take charge today and learn that subject, musical instrument, or skill you have always wanted to learn.  

Do you look back on your life with any regret? Maybe deciding to take the freeway during rush hour made you think twice about your life's choices.

Have you ever followed someone else's workout at a gym? Have you ever been a person to have someone follow you around at the gym copying your workout? This podcast explains why you shouldn't get bothered! TLDLOR: (too long don't listen or read) people copy stuff that's good so if someone copies you feel good about yourself. If you get upset ask yourself if its because your worried they may do it better than you, and if that's the worry then let them do it better. Copy them doing it better and improve that more yourself. More on trust and society next episode!

Have you ever delt with an uncomfortable amount of bugs that seemed like the task was too great to handle? Extra story for those that read my captions: I once had a spider egg casing hatch IN MY BED. I came home from a full semester, and opened my sheets, then had it pop and release spiders everywhere... it was the worst. 

Do you spend time making your cup of coffee the perfect cup? Or do you simply throw together some scoops of coffee mix with hot water in a thermos and run out the door? Mindfulness and awareness of your present situation can only come through focus on the now, how do you get in touch with your current you?

This is mainly so I can see if I can upload podcasts to Spotify, but enjoy this impromptu introduction!
