I do not eat meat. I do not eat dairy. I do not eat eggs. I do not eat honey. I am passionate about my vegan lifestyle and what I stand for. However, every time I want to talk about it, I’m afraid. Every time I grocery shop with my mom and we are standing […]

The Quarter Life Crisis is real and if you’re in your 20’s, it’s probably happening to you now. This crisis hit me at the peak of this winter; I said to myself, “What am I really doing with my life?” This irritating question’s need for a thoughtful answer has shook me to the core for […]

My best friend became family on a warm, sunny June afternoon in 2003. After six months of weekly visits to the humane society, we finally found the one. Buddy’s tiny beagle-like frame looks as if he’s been dipped in rich, dark chocolate. His brown fur is accented with tan cowboy boots that he has worn […]

Let us all wipe the sweat off of our faces and cheer for joy. Why, you ask? We should be cheering because Bernie Sanders endorsed Hillary Clinton this past week. He repeated the endorsement on July 25 at the Democratic National Convention. This is a big deal. This could change the game. Some of you […]

This past week has been absolutely depressing for the black community. Personally, my entire energy has been nothing but negative.

While crime […]

When it comes to summer, lots of people choose to move and do some home decoration. The furniture market is also going to have its peak high on sale. Many last chance sale or sample sales are released in summer, not Craigslist at this point, so it is a good time to consider shopping new […]

Living in a salad bowl society over 21 years of my life, I have come to learn that being individual and holding on to your own beliefs is a good thing; however. after moving to the United States and living a society where it is more a melting pot and not a salad bowl, my […]

Netflix is famous for taking liberties that cable television does not have the ability to take: One being the risky topics that “Orange is the New Black” tackles in every single episode. It has been referred to as being far too graphic and extremely violent. Although this may be true, Netflix is not forcing any […]

Political strategists focus a great deal of effort on branding the candidate they represent. Each detail is labored over: answers regarding the candidate’s past, perceived indiscretions and potential for exposure in any given area. Down to their daily outfit, haircut and choice in spectacles, no detail goes unlabored. For politicians, every answer must be preciously […]

As cheerleading continues to become more of a phenomenon, it is not considered a collegiate sport as determined by the NCAA (Nation Collegiate Athletic Association).
