To Be or Not to Be?
Love is in the air with Valentine’s Day just around the corner. Or as some know it, “Singles Awareness Day”. Currently, students are asking out other students to this thing called a “banquet” at the school I work at. It’s almost like what some schools would consider a formal or prom, but more traditional. AsContinue reading “To Be or Not to Be?”

Running has made a comeback in my life in recent years. I’ve always preferred running as a method of exercise simply because it affords me mental clarity. When the going gets tough, the tough get going, and running helps me to get back on track with where I’m going. In 2018 I took up theContinue reading “Just Keep Running”
To Whom It May Concern
Hi, I’m Zack. My goal is to introduce myself to you in enough words to give you an idea about who I am, but not so many words that you get bored and stop reading. One thing I can tell you is that I don’t really like writing formal letters. Somehow, a formal letter feelsContinue reading “To Whom It May Concern”
