Most Memorable Travel Experience
Upon arriving in Tokyo, the first stop on a six-week Asia trip, my buddy and I made our way down to the subway station to wait for the train into town. We read the timetable and decided we needed to wait for the "54" train. As the next train pulled to a stop, we started frantically asking everyone, "is this the 54?!? What train is this? Where is the 54? 54!" Only mere moments after the train pulled away did we realize the extent of our stupidity. As the train left and the clock struck 8:55 PM, we realized we indeed did just miss the 8:54 PM train - there was no "train 54," we were reading a timetable.

I'm just another guy. Deeper than some, shallower than others. Quieter than some, more talkative than others. Smarter than some, denser than others. I function best in groups and you're not going to love me in five minutes but give me fifteen and I may start to grow on you.

Every day I get older, the less certain I am of what I want to be. When I was 10 years old, I was starting businesses. Today, I do a lot of sitting around. It's a weird dynamic.

I recently turned 21. I'm about to graduate University. And it's freaking the shit out of me.
