Relationships
So often we find ourselves complaining about the quality of relationships we have.

This Thing Called Love
By: Sara Lowery Tis the season for love or so they say. We can walk in any store and all we see is red and white (and as a Delta I love that) but there is all this candy, roses, and hearts. All to celebrate this thing called love! Just recently I found myself in […]
Get the Job AND the Date with This Skill

By: Hailey Yatros I once knew a man whose name was Chuck. Chuck was a regular at a restaurant I used to work at as I was putting myself through college. He was elderly, so kind, and always came alone. He’d ask for an ice tea, with only two ice cubes, extra packets of Splenda, […]
Facebook goes wide, but true Friendship goes DEEP!!
