No New Friends. Know New Friends

It was as if Penn gave me the classic advice: “have you tried turning it off and back on again?” Before I knew it, my year long reset brought me to Tucson. No college, no water, no car, and no friends. Contrary to Drake’s words , “no new friends” isn’t the move when you move.

Becoming a Filadelphian

… ver time, I morphed into what used to be a foreign jay-walking, food-truck-eating, wawa-binging phanatic. However, one can never really become a real 215 native – those legends are born, not made.

However, if you couldn’t tell from my previous post, the pressure without […]

Get Comfortable with the Uncomfortable

Someone once told me that writing is good therapy… That person may or may not have been my therapist, but when did I ever listen to them? That is a different story (although not entirely). So here we are, at the start of something new. Thanks for joining me on my inaugural weekly ramble! How […]
