Do you have the 20% mindset?
People need to ponder more. As a big ponderer myself, I have to say it's really enjoyable. Just sit and think a while, right? When I wake up, the first thing I usually grab is my phone to check the time. I'll check my notifications, doomscroll on Instagram a little,...
You need to live life in the splash zone
My mom took me to Sea World a bunch as a kid. Growing up in Southern California, we had the chance to visit all sorts of theme parks. Once a year, my mom would take us down to San Diego, and we'd hit three all in a row. LegoLand, the San Diego Zoo, and Sea World. I...
Is Five Million on the line?
I've been pretty obsessed with Beast Games lately. Listen, I'm just as surprised as you are. I don't have the greatest opinion of Mr. Beast. In all honesty, I find him kind of creepy. There's just something off about his smile. But my mentor and his family got super...
Are You Willing To Live On That Hill?
There's a lot you can say about Gen-Z. We're passionate. We're angry. We're really into cartoons. Regardless, hundreds of articles have been written about our generation—some good, a lot bad. Us Gen-Zers feel, like a lot. I think that's something that's really good....
That time I almost died!

Your Talent Isn’t Enough – Guest Blog Brad Pauquette
When I was a kid, I tried a bunch of different sports. My family didn’t have the means or the patience to do a bunch of sports at once, but every few years I’d try something new. I played baseball for a few years as a young kid. Then I played basketball at the Y for a...
I Tried Too Hard – Guest Blog by Vella Karman
I Tried Too Hard I woke up last Friday and lay in bed, just thinking about how I did NOT want to work on my novel that day. I’m a hard worker (when I don’t have my nose in a book). So I knew something was off if I didn’t want to write. The thing is, for two or three...
Leave me ALONE – Guest blog by Lucy Grecu
I was a pretty unbothered kid. I ran around without worry, caught up in my imagination. Reality had softer angles to it, back then. And I was a total theater kid (still am, deep down). When I was eight, I quit ballet to do musical theater summer camp. I remember my...
