Order Online, Pick-Up In Store Is Amazing!

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...

Quick Naps Are The Best

UNITED STATES─Naps, I think they are God’s gift to those of us who are workaholics. I talk to people all the time about sleep, particularly getting quality sleep at night. Some people say I get 7 or 8 on average. I wish I could get 8 hours of sleep at night; it is indeed very rare for me to...

Black Friday Mayhem America

UNITED STATES─ It has been a tradition in my family for years, where after Thanksgiving dinner we indulge in Black Friday shopping. It’s an opportunity for us to bond even more as a family, and it doesn’t hurt to get a bargain at the same time America. However, I am not sure what transpired in 2019 where it was...

Student Loan Debt Crisis

UNITED STATES─There is indeed a crisis in our country right now; too many people are trapped with excessive student loan debt. Yes, I am one of those individuals, and it’s sickening to discover that I know people who have been in school in shorter time frames than myself and have more debt than me. It is one thing to...

Spending Money Wisely

UNITED STATES─Have you ever taken a close look at the amount of money you’ve spent in a given week. Most people do, but I mean have you actually taken a look at everything you spent for the entire week, including the minor things that you assume don’t matter? Well I did and I came to startling realization: I’m spending...

Veterans Matter

UNITED STATES─It is hard to fathom that we only take one day out of the 364 days we have in the year to pay our tribute and gratitude to the people who risked their lives for us to enjoy the freedoms that we take for granted. Yes, Monday, November 11, 2019, we celebrated Veteran’s Day. It is a day...

Excessive Shopping

UNITED STATES—Do you know some people who shop too much? I guess the first question we have to ask is what is considered excessive shopping. I would argue visiting the mall or your favorite big box once a week is not excessive. On the flip side, if you’re at the mall or that place seven days a week you...

Sports Can Be Depressing

UNITED STATES—This might sound odd, but I think I finally understand what so many people mean when they say sports can be depressing. I used to think it was just a way for people to not want to be bothered with others, but that is not the case. I was watching my Alma matter play college football over the...

Eating Out Can Be Dangerous

UNITED STATES—As Americans, it is common knowledge that many of us eat out way too much. I don’t think it has anything to do with not wanting to cook, it’s just after a long day of school, work or whatever stressor you have in life, you just don’t have the energy to slave in a kitchen. With that being...

Student Athletes Getting Compensation

UNITED STATES—I have been a major advocate for this for years. The fact that Gavin Newsom, the Governor of California has passed legislation that will allow student athletes at community colleges and universities to be compensated while they are in school is amazing. Look, I had the same thought many Americans had before really getting to know student athletes...
