Jumped back on Twitter (X) after a very long absence just to see what people were saying about the #Jets and the #Bills. I was not disappointed.

Hey @JetBlue our flight #1096 has been delayed three times now. Originally scheduled to leave Atlanta 7:59pm, now we’re not getting out until 11:47pm. It’s still getting out tonight though, right? Right?!?

Fired up to be at #ASCA2023, the national conference for School Counselors. Over 5000 counselors here! Breakout agenda for me today is ASCA National Model Implementation Plan, Affirmative Action Decision Implications, then finally Legal & Ethical Muscle for Marginalized Youth.

Everyone should read all of the responses to this tweet. Then, act accordingly.

Can someone please calm my rising senior daughter down and tell her AP scores play no role in admission? She won’t listen to her father, who has spent 26 YEARS AS A COLLEGE COUNSELOR!

This is amazing. #courage

Happy Independence Day, America. 🇺🇸

Rog had the honor of speaking to a group of Newly Minted American Citizens who were sworn in at the National Archives in front of the actual Constitution this past Constitution Day.

Here's what Rog wrote in the Raven back in September:

"I type with fingers still buzzing after heading down to the National Archives in DC this week, and addressing a class of newly-minted Americans sworn in front of the actual Constitution.

The ceremony was in celebration of that document’s 235th anniversary on Constitution Day this Saturday, and I found it incredibly moving, watching 25 people from 21 nations have their lives transformed by becoming Americans together. I am not going to lie. I sobbed through my remarks.

Partially because of the memories of my own citizenship process which it unleashed. But also because I was overwhelmed by the symbolic power – of being blessed to stand there in the Rotunda, with the Constitution behind me, and tell the group that the iconic phrase, “We the people” now includes them as part of that “We.”

I was also touched to discover just how many diehard football fans there are amongst the staff at the National Archives. I met Spurs fans, Arsenal supporters, United devotees. What a place it is. And the archivists are true American heroes.

By dedicating their lives to preserving the records that underpin our nation, they ensure that the American stories we tell ourselves about ourselves are ones grounded in primary sources. Without them, we would have no shared truths.

To experience a Naturalization Ceremony at the National Archives – that powerful process in which collective dreams were made real before my eyes – was so unbelievably profound. I truly believe every American should attend at least one a year.

They are all that is good about our nation." 🇺🇸🙌

On major life decisions, the purpose of seeking advice is not to get answers. It’s to gain perspective.

No one knows what's best for you. They can only share what makes sense to them.

The most important question to ask is not what you should do. It's what you might be missing.

Hey Boston College, I know you love to finish your football season 6-6 and get invited to the CarMax Mediocrity Bowl every year, but maybe you should do this instead? Come back to the #BigEast - we promise we won't make you grovel that much.

[John Fanta @John_Fanta]

UConn has a home — a basketball home. Monday’s national title victory was the reward for the university’s psychological choice to make hoops the priority in the Big East. The Huskies are kings again, and there’s no sign of them slowing down. My story: https://t.co/chFlQX5N1N

"Is paying for college even worth it?"

Lifetime earnings for HS grad: $1.6 million
Lifetime earnings for 2-year college grad: $2 million
Lifetime earnings for 4-year college grad: $2.8 million

Definitely yes. Very much worth it.
