Now here is a song by an artist that is truly coming up in the ranks. Matisyahu’s “So High, So Low” has the ability to speak to all of us at some point in our lives. For high school and college students alike, there are so many things that are uncertain. We wonder if we are making the right choices about our future. For some of us, we wonder what the hell we are going to do in the first place. It seems like everyone knows what they are doing after graduation but me. My hope is that this song will help you realize that not only will you find a path just for you, but that you can strike a path of your own.

“So High, So Low”, it seems to me, is suggesting that the right path along with the only path is your path. Whatever comes for you is the right thing as long as you are willing to strike out and own what you do, innovate what you do, and make an imprint on the lives you touch. Now, the easy thing to say is as follows: You are talking like a true school counselor, but I want to be an accountant, or a clerk, or an entrepreneur. What gives?. My answer? Go back to the lyrics. It doesn’t matter what you become. Just own it and be yourself.

With this, think about the following lines:

I am searchin’ for the shade of the tree
Heard about it from a tune in the breeze
They say exists on the side of the road
But which road nobody was told
All I know is i must find a road that leads where nobody goes
Where i can roll down all the windows where the wind blows down those fears And foes
So let go of the steering wheel let go let go
All I know is I must find a road that leads where nobody goes
Let go of the steering wheel let go let go

We all go through times where we feel like we need a reality check, comfort or some kind of epiphany that is going to show us the light of some sort. Sometimes, we just have to put things in perspective, do our best, and know that things will work out because of it.

Stop stressing! Explore yourself and strike your own path in this crazy world!

So, it’s March and you’ve reached the half-way point in your semester. While you are probably focusing on midterms or maybe the upcoming basketball mayhem, summer is likely the last thing on your mind. However, now is the prime time to cement your summer plans. At many universities, registration for summer classes has already begun, [...]

When you walk in the door at Dormbuys, you are automatically greeted by two of the most important—and lovable—faces of our company: Kylie and Hershey. We like to make a good first impression and our furry friends do an excellent (if somewhat noisy) job. Let me take a moment to give them their props:

I remember as a high school and college student, just how excited I would get about the little things.  One of the best little things to ever get excited about was a day off from classes.  No alarm clock, no quizzes, no annoying teachers.  For whatever the reason, a day off was one of the [...]

So let’s face it. 2009 wasn’t the best year for many of us. As a high school student and growing teen, how can you create a better fate for 2010 than you had in 2009? I want to show you some observations that I made while working with teens last year, and then give you [...]

We all have many different families in our lives…at least I hope so. Obviously, we have our moms & dads, brothers & sisters, wives & children.  But hopefully you also find yourself surrounded by work families, sports families, old high school and college families, and who know what others.
This is a story of many families [...]

Unlike most retailers, we’re really close to our customers. And by close, we’re talking secret-handshakes and hidden tattoos. OK, not really. But we’re open to implementing those if you think it might be helpful. Sorry, I digress. We’re close to our customers – in fact we like to think of ourselves as friends to our [...]

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, [...]

As you landed on Craigslist, Monster, Career Builder and every other job search website out there, you were sure you would find exactly what you were looking [...]
