Start Here!

If you are just jumping into StefanOnPaper — or SoP, for short — here are a list of a few posts to get you acclimated with the basics. Each posts should stand on its own, and should ideally be the uncut fodder to more intellectual thought and discussion: a jumping off point rather than a statement of fact. That being said, this is a long-form conversation that is best read in order — I will try to keep it interesting.

As of this moment, which at this point I am sure is outdated, I am:

– A college graduate that know a little bit of everything, but a lot more about nothing.

– An athlete that knows that the best investment you can make is in yourself.

– A Catholic that believes that everyone has a right to believe in what they choose, as long as you respect the beliefs of those around you.

– An informed citizen that expects people to take an interest in the world around them and make an effort to improve it.

– A genius, by my own metric. Einstein once said that if a fish was judged by how well it can climb, it will spend its entire life thinking it is a failure. I don’t think that I am better than you in any way, but I am the very best version of myself today, and I will work everyday to make yesterday look bad.

But most of all, I am changing: SoP is intended to help me bring a little bit of order into my life, which is changing so rapidly that it is hard to keep up sometimes — This is a personal project, but I hope that you gain something out of your time invested here, because I have.

Onto the acclimatization!

Thank you for taking the time to read, I appreciate it immensely and would love to hear comments/feedback. Also, a shameless plug for the person that got me started blogging is owed to my friend Ben. He has become a sort of mentor to me, so check out his site, too.
