Thoughts coming out of the weekend: Loyola is in the Final Four - and it's not Maryland, but Chicago. Nonetheless still rooting for a fellow Jesuit Loyola school to take home the big prize.

I'm a HUGE fan of quotes. In fact, I actually have a notebook that I use to write down my favorite quotes whenever one strikes me in a particular way. I typically carry it in my backpack along with a few books, my laptop, headphones, and sometimes a newspaper - and I'll go to a... Continue Reading →
