This quarter has flown by with impressive speed. Currently in the midst of my junior year in college, this velocity is not without reason. While academically speaking this has not been my craziest quarter (last quarter still stands on that gold medal platform), I’ve been quite busy with interviews and… well… life.

Interestingly, stressors inevitably seem to bring about an increased amount of analyzing/thinking. There is definitely truth to the Biblical principle that we’re made stronger through facing trials and suffering (James 1).

I’m going to address the academic side of things with a bit of spirituality… Read more…
