I Haven’t Been Writing Recently

Here’s why.

Hey everyone! So as I’m sure many of you have noticed, I haven’t been writing on Medium (or anywhere else for that matter) in a few months now, and I figured it was time to put some time aside to tell you why.

Now I wish I could come to all of you and say that I’ve been working on some exciting new writing project, and that it’s taken all of my time. But that’s not at all the case.

On the contrary, I actually made the decision a few months ago to go back to school to finish (I have 3 years left, so I’m basically starting anew) my engineering degree.

Now this isn’t my first degree. Oh no, I finished that a few years ago and though to myself, “Ya know what? I’m not in enough debt.” And here we are now.

But in all reality, the real reason I’m going back is because my first degree just wasn’t cutting it. As it turns out, a political science degree doesn’t really help you unless you work in politics. And I quickly realized that, as much as I love politics, I have no desire to work in the field.

So I did what any rational person would do and thought to myself, what am I really bad at (a great way to pick a degree, right)? The answer to that is MATH.
