The ADHD Tax at the Grocery Store
As someone with ADHD, going to the grocery store is an exhausting chore. We have to remember what we put on the list because we happened to forget the list at home.

Every time the elections start happening, people are losing their minds. The day of the election lasts several hours, and people are constantly posting on social media about who is winning and by how much, who they think is going to win, and everything.

The voting age right now is 18, and that makes sense because you are legally seen as an adult and can make adult decisions. But there are people out there who think the voting age should be lowered to 17 or 16. I don’t think that is a good idea because they are not legally […]
