I used to hate when people would talk about a job and they would describe it as “meh” or “it’s fine” but they would always follow it up by saying, “but it has great benefits.” When I was younger I was so confused by that. If you have to do this job a minimum of…

The 2024 Summer Olympics
Ahh the Olympics, it’s that time again. Regular, average people get to watch the top one percent of athletes from across the globe compete in dozens of sports for that coveted gold medal.

Athletes Might Be the Craziest Ones of All
I think it’s hilarious when people joke about runners or weight lifters as being sane or mentally stable. My sister and I were joking about our mental health the other day (as sisters do) and she said, “You run, people who run are stable.” I find it funny because we are some of the most…

The Curse of Your 30’s, Or Is It All In Your Head?
When did everyone start accepting the fact that when you turn 30, your body “goes to shit?” I’m very confused about where this notion came from. I saw some funny videos and jokes made about it on social media but I am also hearing it in real life from friends and coworkers. They say things…
