Point of View

UNITED STATES—I have to pose an honest question to you: do you get tired of social media? I feel like the world we live in nowadays is completely dictated around social media outlets like Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Tumblr, Vine, the list goes on and on. There seems to be this programmed notion that every single thing we...

UNITED STATES—I’m asked on a constant basis by so many people, why aren’t you more talkative? You seem to be pensive and in a state of thought all the time. Look, I’m not the most sociable person, but I socialize when it best suits me. I’m someone who is more observant of my surroundings more than anything America. I scope...

UNITED STATES─This holiday season I have come to a major conclusion: it is okay for me to shop online. For years, and I mean years, I have not been a fan of e-commerce. Why? I don’t trust entering my credit card information online, and I just like to have my goods in my hands. I do not like to...

UNITED STATES─When I heard the news on Sunday that high-end retailer Neiman Marcus was looking to file bankruptcy as early as this week it punched me in the gut. How so? It just made it crystal clear to me how serious this pandemic and shutdown of the economy is impacting all businesses across the globe. I mean this is...

UNITED STATES─If the coronavirus has taught us anything, it’s to be extremely appreciative of family. Being resigned to the house with family for weeks and months in some cases, it’s tough. You love your family, but at times they can push your buttons in ways that are not the easiest to grapple with. However, I would not trade this...

UNITED STATES—It is hard to believe that Election Day is a few days away and it feels it has snuck up on us as Americans. However, the one thing I want to harp on more than anything is that you should NOT take your right to vote for granted. I know I am not like all Americans, but when...

UNITED STATES—I have not had a good quality sleep in nearly 2 months. When I say that I’m being dead serious because it seems no matter what I do nothing works. I used to think it was a direct result of insomnia particularly because I used to work nights as an undergraduate and my sleep rhythm has never been...

UNITED STATES—The COVID-19 vaccine is rolling out America, and while it appears a vast number of people are getting the vaccine there are those out there who are not. It is starting to raise a very important question: can employers and the government force you to get the vaccine? The answer is not as easy as a yes or...

UNITED STATES—As a psychology undergraduate I was super intrigued in my abnormal psych course when we studied all things dreams. What they mean? Why we have them and ways that we can best understand what they mean. I am a firm believer that just thinking about something for a minute (actually less than that) can actually trigger a dream...

UNITED STATES—When it comes to work, we all have to find purpose in it. What does that mean? It means you have to feel some sense of obligation to your employer or the work that you do. It needs to make you feel a certain way and when I say that I’m not referring to the negative; we have...
