Action films aren’t my typical go-to (unless super hero movies count?). I’m the one who goes for dorky Disney Channel Original Movies, animated flicks, RomComs, family-aimed adventure movies, or films from decades-gone-by (especially if Don Knotts is involved). However, when my friends decided to watch through the John Wick trilogy, I decided to give it…
As a psychological experiment, a friend challenged me to dialogue to him about anything that came to mind for 10 minutes straight. The catch? He would not react or reply. It would be just me and essentially dead silence as he listened. Then, we would swap places and he would dialogue for 10 minutes in…
I love my coworkers and the fact that we regularly acknowledge our mutual weirdness. Here are some of my favorite moments from the past year of work at Classical Conversations 🙂
“Awareness, consideration, decision. We need content for people in each of these categories. Let’s each try to have a piece of content for each category by the time we have our meeting next week,” my boss told the marketing department yesterday. “And remember people’s pain-points.

Sometimes you matter a lot more than you think. Today was my last day at church before I move to North Carolina. During our snack break, a girl who attends there with me gave me the sweetest card. She is 12 and I am 24. I always thought she seemed pretty cool, though I didn’t…
Personality tests fascinate me, but they rarely offer much return for my time. Pretty much all the Facebook-shared personality tests are just for fun and give no truly useful information. The Meyers-Briggs test seems ok, but the results are never particularly useful to me. Plus, nearly every time I take it I seem to be…
An acquaintance of mine recently wrote a blog post about how irony is stunting your relationships. I agree with him, however, I think it goes deeper than that. Fearlessness and confidence are overvalued by our society. Everybody idolizes those people who appear unshakable. Everyone gets coached on how they need to present themselves with confidence…
As I’ve watched friends get married over the past several years (and watched other friends plot what their dream weddings would look like), I’ve come to a conclusion… Nerds have the best weddings. So much of the time, every wedding feels the same. Flowers, candles, sometimes bells. Fancy outfits and food, elegant yet serious…
As a child I grew up hearing horror stories about all the creeps from the internet who would kidnap young ladies. I had all the warnings that many 90’s/early 2000’s kids got about how one should never meet anyone from the internet. Yet somehow, despite all of this, I now find myself in the year…
