Some nights, I scroll through Netflix for 20 minutes and still end up watching the same movie I’ve already seen a bunch of times. You know exactly what I’m talking about. There’s that familiar music, lines you can quote by heart and the ending you already know. For me, it’s not that I’m too lazy […]

Silk Pillowcases and Other Expensive Ways to Trick Myself Into Beauty
They say silk pillowcases are good for your hair and help your skin. Naturally, I bought one at full price. I’ll admit that I would love to have soft hair that isn’t a frizzy, hot mess and better skin. Honestly though, I think I mostly bought it so I could feel fancy when I get […]
The Giants Almost Had It — And What That Means Going Forward
The Giants had that game. I’m serious. One stop, one clean tackle, one bounce the other way, and they win. It hurts because you could feel it. They actually showed up this time. It wasn’t one of those nights where you turn it off early or scroll your phone by halftime. They played. They cared. […]

“Dork Diaries” Was the Start—I Just Didn’t Know It Was Leading Me to Manga
I was just a kid when I first picked up “Dork Diaries” at the library. The title had “Diary” in it, and that was all it took to get me completely invested. Admittedly, I also really enjoyed looking at the doodles on each page as I read the story. I thought it was way more […]
Ice Rolling: Because Apparently Torturing Your Face Is Good for You
They say “Beauty is pain.” (I’ve always wondered what in the world is up with that. Who made these rules? I just want to talk, honestly.) They also say cold metal things on your cheek at the crack of dawn will somehow zap the puffiness away and move your lymph or whatever. If you couldn’t […]

Why Men Need to Talk About Mental Health Too
For a long time, men have been told to be strong and to handle things on their own. They can’t cry or talk about their feelings without being seen as weak. In reality, it’s not weak; it’s normal. We all go through hard times and emotions like stress, sadness and fear. The difference is that […]
We Need More Romance Movies That Start After the Loss
Most romance movies end right when life would actually start to get hard (go figure, right?). It usually goes something like this: someone falls in love, they kiss, the romantic music starts to play in the background and the screen fades to black. The end, right? What about the stories that begin after heartbreak, after losing someone they care about so […]

Wi-Fi Outages: The Modern Equivalent of a Heart Attack
I want you to sit back and think about the last time your Wi-Fi went out. It could have been when you were in the middle of a Zoom call, watching a show on Netflix or trying to order groceries online. In my case, I was in the middle of trying to create a social […]
