Columbia Chronicles #10: Fall '24 Semester Up to Present Day

If you made it this far, awesome. If not, well then you're not reading this sentence so you go to hell you son of a bitch. Ok, back to you, the person who made it this far. I love you. So the fall semester is my hardest one yet in some ways because I had to stack all my classes onto two days so I could open up my weekends to road work. There were a ton of amazing road gigs ahead of me and I needed all of them. The classes, hectic travel and lack of sleep were kicking my butt, but I felt like my old self and a new and better person all wrapped into one. But make no mistake, it was grueling and there were times I didn't know if I'd make it through successfully. We end the episode with where we are currently as I type this sentence: three weeks into my spring semester of my sophomore year. I talk about the classes I'm taking and the work and challenges ahead. Next week I'll go back to the regular podcast and still talk about school stuff obviously because this is the new normal for the next four semesters. Thanks for your support you guys.

Columbia Chronicles #8: Mid Life or Whole Life Crisis?

Columbia Chronicles #7: Glimpses Into the Regular World

Getting on an early wake up schedule, commuting with 9-5 ers uptown and accomplishing a mountain of things before 10am was wild.  Later that school year, a bunch of work fell through on the road so I also started walking dogs part time to keep things together. It was an intense and humbling spring semester.   Check out the Patreon for more.    patreon.com/atny nickyoussef.com

Limitless to Limited

I review the coffee of the week and it's one of my new favorites. P.S if you join the Patreon you get a discount on a Drink Trade coffee bag order.  I complain about how little time we have these days to watch a show or movie before there are countless reviews plastered all over the internet. Later, I get out the Simple Observations book and the prompt was LIMITS.
