I know three things to be true. First, I have been writing creatively, fervently, like I am chasing after something with my pen since I was in middle school. Second, since the same point in time, I have been wretched with anxiety like something is chasing me. Third, these factors meld like oil and water, and manifest in debt ceiling resolution levels of procrastination. You may not resonate with this trio in its entirety, but I bet you’ve had a few late night study dates with dread.

I love playing poker. This assertion may raise concern to some that I, at nineteen, have unraveled into some insatiable gambler who will inevitably watch her hard-earned cash vanish into some mystical sinkhole of overzealous bets. But do not be fooled; poker is about much more than the allure of any measly game subsidizing this season’s hottest handbag. Poker is about strategy, tenacity, and passion, and I think that more women should play.
