“Hate Me”: In defense of TikTok
There are two types of people. Those who love TikTok and those who waste their every breath hating on it. No one is above TikTok. It doesn’t make you more mature or of higher taste to look down on it. The world has not been separated childish goons on TikTok from real adults. People from […]
Take advantage when the campaign trail hits your region
This weekend I went to a Bernie Sanders campaign event. After I revived my conservative family from their heart attacks, I had a thought: in the United States, we all have the unique opportunity to become involved in our political climate. No matter what side of the debate you’re on, attending campaign events and town […]

Life as a ginger: It isn’t always a piece of carrot cake
The Weasley family cracks, gingers have no souls and National Kick a Ginger Day. Gingers have heard it all before. But Monday was National Redhead Day, a day for all the carrot tops of the world to revel in the uniqueness of their hair’s hue. Red hair is a rare trait caused by a recessive […]
Picky eaters need to grow tastebuds
Picky eaters always get a bad reputation. Do they deserve it? I think they do. While the majority of people aren’t jumping up and down to eat brussel sprouts, they don’t entirely shy away from the entire food group of vegetables. I do understand that some vegetables aren’t appealing and I’m not going to pretend […]
Men need to start listening
We live in a world dominated, unfortunately, by men who don’t listen to women.
