A Star Is Born – Review

Before the 2018 remake of “A Star Is Born”, I had never heard of the story itself. However, I’m a fool for a good soundtrack-centric, music-themed movie (think “Begin Again” or “La La Land”) so the trailer immediately caught my eye. I love Bradley Cooper and can recognize and respect the sheer talent and bravadoContinueContinue reading “A Star Is Born – Review”

Kanye West’s Beautiful, Dark, Twisted Reality

While writing for The Odyssey a few years ago I penned an article titled “In Defense of Kanye West.” My fair share of parental figures and other ‘adults’ were quick to question my own sanity, let alone that of Mr. West.  Unless you’ve been living under a rock that doesn’t have Wi-Fi for these lastContinueContinue reading “Kanye West’s Beautiful, Dark, Twisted Reality”

Men’s Fashion is Always in Style

Without a doubt in my mind, Autumn is my favorite time of the year. The air is getting cooler, the days will soon become shorter, and the Pumpkin Spice lattes will continue to flow in glorious fashion. (Even though I’m more of a Pumpkin Spice macchiato man, myself.) Not to mention the excess of fall-scentedContinueContinue reading “Men’s Fashion is Always in Style”

Don’t Clean Your Room

Within the disruption and uncertainty of college life, some basic everyday tasks can seemingly be lost in the confusion of homework assignments, group projects, and exams to cram for. When was the last time you cleaned your room? For me it was at least a few months ago. It isn’t dirty or anything; my belongingsContinueContinue reading “Don’t Clean Your Room”

5 Life Lessons From Retail

Last September marked my one-year anniversary of working at Barnes & Noble, my first time working retail. I had applied looking for a nice place to work with flexible hours, and an atmosphere that I genuinely looked forward to entering each work day. Thankfully, I received all that and more, including coworkers who I canContinueContinue reading “5 Life Lessons From Retail”

A Coaching Perspective

Three years ago I filled out my very first contract, signing on to become an assistant speech coach for Columbiana High School. Now, in less than one month, I will once again be traveling to the National Tournament with our team, to Birmingham, AL. Only this time, I will be taking my very own NationalContinueContinue reading “A Coaching Perspective”

My College Experience

Four years ago I embarked on what has perhaps been the most trying journey of my life. Four years ago I walked onto YSU’s campus incredibly unsure of myself. As I prepare to graduate this Saturday I remain that same uncertain kid – maybe a little bit wiser, but definitely with more facial hair. ItContinueContinue reading “My College Experience”

‘Dunkirk’ – A Cinematic Masterpiece

“All we did was survive.” “That’s enough.” Very rarely do you hear people cheering and clapping for a film once the credits roll. After all, the director and cast aren’t there with you. How would they know that you gave the movie a standing ovation? But once the lights came up Thursday night after theContinueContinue reading “‘Dunkirk’ – A Cinematic Masterpiece”
