On mental illness
"Snowflake" culture got big during my last semester of university. Like many students, one of the last things I learned in school was that we now need service dogs to cope with exam week. Around the same time, the recent spike in suicide made headlines. Unfortunately, I can confirm that that's going on with college … Continue reading On mental illness
The Crier’s Declassified School Survival Guide

When evaluating the lives of the Saints, I have had the tendency to see them as perfect. In my mind, they had no thoughts nor feelings or inner struggles. I spent so much time comparing myself to their impossibly-high standard that I forgot to do the things that would make me resemble them more! Yet … Continue reading Pope St. Gregory the Great: Cincinnatus of the Church
