Perhaps Legally Blonde 2 gave you a romanticized idea of how easy it is to get real-world changes made to address an issue you’re passionate about. Yes, “Bruiser’s Bill” faced opposition. But, overall, the whole process was glamorized into a film-worthy plot instead of revealing the real truth why certain issues are pressed and certain […]
The leaves are changing colors and falling off the trees, we are about to turn the clocks back, it is getting colder out, Halloween is a couple days away…do you feel it? Yup, it’s that time of year. The NBA season is about to get underway.
Eye-Catching Math is a series about beautiful mathematical images. Read more about it here. A fractal is a pattern that contains smaller and smaller versions of itself.

When it comes to my awkward phase, I try to bury all the memories to best of my ability.
