  • Adding “Seasoning” to Your Life

    As someone from the upper region of the northern hemisphere, I was no stranger to all four seasons.

  • Graduate School: A Cautionary Tale from a Two-Time Dropout

    I tried graduate school twice but dropped out after one year both times. It wasn’t that I couldn’t handle the academics (I had completed all the required coursework in my first degree and was halfway through the requirements of the second), I couldn’t handle the competitiveness of academia. For years, I had tied my self-worth
