What is both the best, and worst thing? Change. It means things will be different. You will be different. People will be different, and want to try different things and new experiences in new places. Whether this means moving to a different state, or country, the idea of being separated from your loved ones is [...]
Spring has finally arrived: the grass becomes green again, flowers miraculously appear overnight, and the longer, brighter days make us feel as if summer isn’t really that far off after all. It’s easy to spend spring daydreaming about hot summer days spent basking in the sun, but with that frame of mind you’ll end up [...]
