You know that song “Ooh La La” by The Faces? Well maybe you don’t recognize the song or band name, but I bet you’d realize the lyrics and tune in a heartbeat. The song’s chorus reads like this: “I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger.” Imagine if we could…
I’ve worked some sort of part-time job since I was 16 years old. My first job was waitressing at a local restaurant, in hopes I could save up enough money to buy my first car. While that job was a great introduction on how to make and save my own money, I’d like to think…
It was exactly one year ago today that I had one of the best weeks of my life — College Senior Week. For fellow graduates of Marist College (as well as many other schools across the U.S., I’m sure), this is a week full of fun events all leading up to graduation. The influx of…
