What has being 21 taught me? As I watch the minutes inch closer to 12 a.m., I’ve decided to use this time to reflect on what this year has given me. I remember almost exactly a year ago today, I thought turning 21 was such a huge milestone. I thought this would be the year

You may be familiar with Rube Goldberg creations. Those big, clunky, silly on purpose creations use incredibly intricate and purposely exaggerated pieces to accomplish one tiny task.
