Marc Love made everyday in  Bloomington, IN a routine. Part of that routine included walking onto campus at around 8 AM in the morning then again at 10:30 AM. The second time was when there was a nice crowd of students, faculty, and staff heading to and fro. He liked...

She woke up that day from a nightmare. One that once she really got up she was fine, but during she remembered how bad she felt.

During that time of school everyone had a place to be, people would come in wearing shirts of the colleges they got into. While...

I remember thinking  Rice Krispies were literally the thing that came in that blue box. I was floored when in college my  girlfriend made them with her mom casually inside a glass Pyrex baking dish.

I was reminded of this today because walking down the aisle of the  grocery store I...

"Snow seems to be a thing of the past for December . I used to remember these storms that would lock us in for days as a kid."

We drove on slushy roads. Snow had fallen yesterday but the temperature today was already low enough that it wouldn't last.

Life Hack for Sharing

Maslow's Hierarchy MSU Chipotle
The desire to share is as natural a human desire as food and water. Not sharing won't literally kill you, but once you're at a certain level of Maslow's Hierarchy you'll basically do anything, claw your way to sharing; to be seen.

I think social media for a lot of us...

Things i like about this:

- the humans feeding the roots
- a move to a new place
- intro to a new office.

The paragraph that begins with I was immediately drawn to the desk. It was an old, ash thing; was when i read in your voice for the first time. I could hear your voice, the one i remembered from back at 
MSU
, and the most recently i'd heard that one time we had late lunch and 
beer
at

When reading a few stories back at 
MSU
I remember feelings of awe when reading these fantastical writings by you. I was like 'damn i wish i could do that. how does he do that'. 

now that we co-write daily i love that i get to just watch you try and try again. honing the craft. I get to peer over and really see what you're trying to build and hone.

I ended up minoring in German lol. I probably remember just as little of it as you do Russian, but I'm more confident in myself so would rate myself as having retained 20% of what I'd known. 

There were German practice sessions and stuff after college that I attended. Did you do any practicing for your Russian after graduation?

I remember you also speaking way better German than me when we were at 
MSU
because you had taken it so many years at the great 
Okemos
high school lol.

When were you reading the 19th century russian novelists? I think I got into them right around graduation and then extending into my post college years.

And yes those Russian novelists really captured something that resonates with people like you, me, and

One thing I rarely lacked in college was confidence. My best friend was an odd kind and I spent a lot of time with him. One of his more frequent obsessions was talking about how young some people were when they achieved a big thing: a common example being Bret...

This reminded me of your post 
Re: Re: Friendship Keni
.

reading this and that older post reminds me of how being at 
MSU
 felt for me. There was just so much open time and space for a collective of people to share experiences and growth together. That was the number one education in my view. Far greater and undescribable than something that was delivered via syllabi, tests, and online videos.
