Why No More Comfort Movies?
I feel like recent generations have their choice of comfort movies. The 1980s have “The Breakfast Club”, “Pretty In Pink”, and “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” The 1990s have “Ten Things I Hate About You”, “Groundhog Day,” and “Mrs. Doubtfire”.

Problematic Sport Culture
In American society, we often gather around a television set to watch and either cheer on our favorite teams or boo and curse the opposing team. Either in the comfort of our own homes or in public places like sports bars, we in American society really value and praise many sports teams that bring us much […]
So We’re Basically At War: What Does This Mean For Gas Prices
Last Saturday, the U.S., along with Israel, launched a bomb strike in the country of Iran, killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. In an attempt to “eliminate” and eradicate the threat of the country of Iran creating “a nuclear weapon,” the U.S. and Israel have initiated the bomb with the intent “to wipe out the […]
BookTok Gets a Bad Rap
If you have read the title, you may think I am here to defend all of BookTok and thus the books that are popular on the social media platform. And in a way, I kind of am and kind of not. I would rather see this article as an opinionated piece that likes to highlight […]
