We talk a lot about eating healthy, exercising and sleeping well. I can’t remember a single health class I’ve taken that doesn’t go over these things, let alone videos you see on your phone or advertisements in the media. One of the simplest ways to take care of yourself but ...
The best part of old TV wasn’t always the show itself. It was what came after. The screen would move on to the credits, and you get the chance to see these moments between the cast where they’re having fun and laughing. Somebody forgot their line. Somebody dropped a prop. The ...
On Monday, a New Jersey man was convicted of murder after driving drunk and killing four people that were celebrating the Fourth of July in New York City. 46-year-old Daniel Hyden, who is from Monmouth Junction, New Jersey, was found guilty of four counts of second-degree murder, one count of ...
Honestly, I didn’t really think much of the movie Remember the Titans when I first saw it on the TV. Growing up, my brother was a football player, and my uncle was a coach. It was pretty typical for a football movie of some kind to be on in our house. It ...
There’s just something about country music that feels like it takes you back to this memory you forgot you even had in the first place. The sounds in a country song, like the strum of a guitar, all end up sounding like a road you’ve driven down many times before. ...

Dumbledore is a character that’s honestly complicated to understand. When he’s first introduced, readers would really think he’s this wise old guy who’s being nice, looking out for Harry and guiding him through this new world of magic and wizardry. Considering all that Harry’s faced back at home, this seems ...
Belts make zero sense to me. They claim to “hold things together” (and keep pants from falling down too much, of course), but most of the time, they’re just holding me like I’m a hostage. They dig into my body, they twist around, and to top it all off, they ...

Emergency crews in Brooklyn found a 39-year-old man, Aaron Akaberi, inside the basement of a three-story townhouse around 4:30 p.m after it was flooded. He had reportedly gone back in to ...
Some mornings, I swear my bathroom mirror is gaslighting me. I wake up feeling like a changed person (read: someone who’s finally branched out into the world to try new things), and my reflection still has the nerve to look exactly the same. How rude. Beauty culture seems to revolve around that ...
On November 2, 2025, Hellen Obiri made history at the New York Marathon. She crossed the finish line in 2 hours, 19 minutes and 51 seconds, setting a new women’s course record.
