When we are young and youthful and carefree, it's easy to live in the moment and not think of what is in store for the future. Now, this could apply to many things, your career, your love life, or your entire view of your existence, unable to understand why we are here, what it means to be human, a[...]
I, Courtney, am addicted to sugar. I love it. I will devour just about anything with sugar on it. When I mean devour, I really mean devour. I am the person at parties who goes back for a second slice of cake, and if I can sneak it, a third piece. In fact, I'd probably eat the whole cake by my[...]

Not nearly as much as I was hoping to, honestly. But I'll get into that in a minute. Before the challenge, I decided to stop dieting, and[...]
Despite all my efforts to discover time travel, the years continue to go by faster and faster. Tomorrow, I'm going to wake up 80 years old. To maximize the moments I have left, I am actually going to set some goals this year. I don't think I set any last year, and then I ended up buying a baby horse[...]
