What was once the adidas Grand Prix in New York has come to Boston. Known for its Street Meet, some of the best athletes competed on Charles St. between the Boston Common and Public Garden. Who would’ve thought after all those years of watching the NBC broadcast of meet on TV while it was in New York that it would suddenly show up in Boston? The athletes: Jenn Suhr, Yohan Blake, Warren Weir, Jason Richardson, Tori Bowie, Bianca Knight. These are the kinds of athletes you would expect to see in Rio this summer competing to attain eternal glory at the Olympics. To be just mere feet away from them as they gear up for Rio was just… exhilarating. ...

I guess the real question is if I even care about my government? I mean, it’s basically Jedis and Sith Lords bickering with each other with their mouths rather than lightsabers.

Self-control? Well that’s certainly something that could be useful for many things. I think that’s important to have so that one doesn’t do anything that they may possibly regret. Thought self-control doesn’t have to have a severe result. It could be as simple as how long can you go without checking Facebook? Or can you stop yourself from grabbing a candy bar and just grab an apple instead? Things like that. ...

It’s something I didn’t even think I could have trouble with, yet I do. Welcome. Maybe we’ll be able to help each other out and come up with some great methods on how to prioritize more efficiently. I often think prioritizing well is synonymous with being organized. Or one is the result of the other. I’ve come to realize that it’s not exactly true sometimes. At work, what is priority? Whatever your boss tells you to get done first? That seems like that’s the easy answer. What if your boss is not around? You have a handful of tasks that need to get done, but which one gets done first? ...
