At any introduction, hearing the leader utter “tell us a fun fact about yourself!” triggers our fight-or-flight response. What even is a “fun” fact anyways?

It might sound stupid, but I spent way too much time on TikTok. But, I mean, can you blame me? The app is designed to be addicting.

The other day, I got a watermelon from Trader Joe’s, and it tasted god-awful. That's when I realized that I have no business buying watermelons during winter.

It didn’t matter who I was playing with. For some reason, male gamers found it so funny to repeat the same stupid sexist comments.

My room, bedding, furniture, and dishes aren’t all white and overpriced, so does it even count as a minimalist aesthetic by today’s standards?

Even though we have roommates, there are many surprising (mostly annoying) things that we aren’t warned about before we move out.

This experience has only pushed me closer to my faith in the aphorism “if you want something done right, you better learn how to do it yourself.”

No matter where you stand on the scale loving to hating Valentine’s Day, use it as an excuse to host a showstopping tea party for you and your loved ones. 

As a Southern Californian, I didn’t realize how much work goes into preparing my car to drive in a place where it regularly snows during the winter.

I never thought I’d find myself missing those slow, gloomy days in Berkeley when I had no classes but was driven by the mission of getting as much homework and studying done as possible in one day.
