Follow the ways of the late Mike Leach and be your authentic, genuine self.
Through this light-hearted discourse, you figure out how much you actually have in common with someone even if it’s over the least important of matters. However, to really make small talk work, it begins with being real.
Instead of putting all your eggs in one basket and hoping to meet the love of your life in college, start focusing on finding your bridesmaids and groomsmen first — people that you know will love, care for and support you every day, not just on date night.
When all we do is see our fellow citizens as their political identities — or hopelessly attempt to categorize them when we are unsure — we are doing a disservice to ourselves and those around us.
