I remember sitting at home one day many years ago, watching “The Maury Show,” as I always loved to do on my free mornings. I was watching this woman cry over a man that she just found out cheated on her with more than 10 women. “God, what an idiot!” I thought to myself. She was [...]
Since coming to college, I’ve made many new friends. With these friendships comes all of the “get to know each other” questions. Examples of a few I’ve received the most often are: Where are you from? What’s your major? How many siblings do you have? What did you do in high school? What are your [...]
