In the last year, their small club has snowballed into a large organization with over 100 students! She was excited to learn about KindSpring and share some of her stories from the past year with us. Great to see so many amazing ideas blossoming all around! space

– Alain de Botton –

How To Eliminate Procrastination

In 2009, Fred Stutzman, a graduate student at the University of North Carolina was trying his best to complete important work on his thesis.
