The first few weeks of contacting potential sponsors have really made me realize how hard it is and how long it will take. I didn’t think it would be easy or over in a week, but I’m really starting to understand the immensity of it. To be honest, I had my moments in the beginning […]

It’s funny how the human mind quickly adapts to thinking that something is perfectly normal, simply from spending a lot of time doing it.
