From Tragedy to Celebration and In Between

Recently, my family lost a loved one. After I requested some time off work to attend the funeral, word got around fairly quickly about what had happened. While my close friends were respectful and interested in how I was doing, I was touched by how sympathetic my coworkers became in my time of need.
When Personalities Collide

Over Halloween weekend, I went to Austin to spend time with a good friend from high school. We often joke that we shouldn't be friends because we're too alike. One of our similarities comes in the form of a stubborn personality. We differ, however, in our ideas of relaxing.

Disconnected in a Connected World

The ability of Facebook and text messaging to keep us in touch with each other faster than ever before is impressive in its own right. However, I am concerned that with these technological tools at our fingertips, it's also easier to sit on a couch and interact with people in cyberspace instead of in human-to-human situations. Tone, emotion, and intention don't translate the same way over the Internet, and it's disconcerting to wonder how this decreasing need for human interaction is negatively affecting the communication skills of younger generations. And I'm only in my early twenties!
