Hello! I am an Anthropology major and future Arabic minor at the [http://udel.edu University of Delaware] who enjoys committing his thoughts on paper in his spare time. This page serves host to what I feel are the most important of my writings.
While in Tunisia, I maintained a travelog of my experiences which you may read [[User:AndrewM/Tunisia|here]]. This was originally published and maintained on Facebook and was only ported over later to MyWikiBiz.
On a more official capacity, I write articles every so often for my school's newspaper; those can be found [http://tinyurl.com/ajmreview here].
The other pieces on this page consists of short verses and poems. Whenever I feel something is worthy on inclusion on this site, I will put it up here.

This malaise has created a cult of amnesiacs, who have only the faint, sweet memories of happier days yet have no clue how to emulate them, much less remember them. They are living lies, communicating words which they strive to give meaning to but ultimately fail to do so. Such is the effect of the loss of happiness in humanity, and only upon some stroke of luck will a genius among the depressed rediscover happiness and teach the best students of the race what exactly it is. Until then, our impressions of happiness are flawed and imperfect: In our desire to expand and prosper, we have lost a complex and rewarding part of our world without even realizing it, and to this day we struggle to discover: What exactly was happiness?

So next time you feel impatient - slow down! Take the time to savor the niceties of life as God and Nature intended! Don't look to the future, stay focused on the present. One must appreciate his precious life and savor it, minute by ticking minute.
