Answering questions about life in post-grad
As students go back to school and the weather gets a tad chillier, I’ve been feeling nostalgic lately.

In an effort to memorialize a retreat I have, I invite you to go a little bit down memory lane with me. I hope that this will remind you to get away and listen closely to the stories others are telling you. And make sure you ponder your own.
