Tuesday night, as I was driving home, I checked my Twitter feed.
I’m sure my parents wouldn’t be happy to read that sentence, but as a tech-addicted journalist, it’s unfortunately become a habit of mine.
After what I thought had been a difficult first day of school, I was suddenly reminded just how small my daily problems, like showing up late for two classes and dealing with CSU’s hellish parking lot situation, actually are.
As I was scrolling through my timeline, I stopped on a tweet by a colleague of mine.
In it, I saw the news that the parents and two-year old niece and nephew of Colorado State men’s basketball player Emmanuel Omogbo had been tragically killed in a house fire early Tuesday morning.
