It's not hard to notice that we live in a very me-centric society.

However, the more I am able to dig in and study… Continue reading The Principle of Being Virtuous

Which means that I don't have school for the next 10 days (I only have classes on Wednesdays so I have a few extra days of 'break') With these days that aren't filled up with the hustle and bustle of getting to and from classes and… Continue reading Recapturing My Daily Routines
