I’m sitting here on a Friday afternoon wondering where spontaneity could have possibly gone.  It wasn’t that long ago that I found myself on the beaches of Key West after nothing more than a 4 hour notice and a reasonably reliable source of transportation.  Today, I found out that my cousin is fighting in Nashville, two hours from Louisville, and I called around to my buddies thinking I could pull together a group for a night out in Nash Vegas.  Not so much…

I understand that we have jobs, girlfriends and responsibilities.  I also get that free time is at a premium and people don’t want to give it up.  What I find myself wondering is how do some of us let go of it altogether?  How many of the great stories we tell begin with, “I decided to stay home alone?” I’m going to take a chance and say not many.

A ton of great stories come straight out of the college experience. Don’t waste your time sitting on the sidelines and trying to account for every variable.  Sometimes it’s all about taking a chance and seeing where an opportunity might lead.  Make sure never to lose your inner-spontaneity and you might just find the beginning of your greatest story yet.

And on that note, I’m packing up my stuff up and heading to Nashville to see my boy fight without them.  I guarantee I’ll have a better story than they do tomorrow….

Mom, where do care packages come from?
Care packages originated in Yugoslavia during World War II after the Slavics, who were suffering through severe food shortages, called for the support of the United States. The US quickly responded to Yugoslavia’s wishes by sending food and medical supplies in tins. However, one package arrived without any labels. [...]

Check this out. We heard from a friend of our friend’s cousin, who was told by her sister’s brother’s roommate, that his friend’s freshman year roommate had the most horrific college introduction ever. EV-ER. And after hearing the story, we just had to give him props for making it through.

My senior year of high [...]

I hit the office this morning and picked up the new Kid Cudi Album on iTunes.  I’ve been excited about this release for a while, as I look at Cudi as bringing something new to Hip Hop. As I hit play on the first track, it ended with a soliloquy known as the Cudi Anthem. [...]

It seems like all of the lists out there are designed to tell you what TO do.  We understand college is a rebellious time and we don’t want to rattle off a bunch of stuff you should be doing.  So, in the spirit of all good things are in list form, we’re here to tell [...]

It’s not the same as your room at home; and more than the fact that it’s cramped and small, it’s the fact that you have to share it with someone else that sort of bugs you. Your college dorm room could end up being your favorite place for the four years you live on campus, [...]
