Ladies In The MeToo Era
UNITED STATES—First, full disclosure: I am a lady, well, most of the time. But I have been female for all of my time and I’m old enough to have been touched or spoken to inappropriately, had a bizarre moment with a doctor and even experienced a thwarted assault throughout my many decades. So I get it. To have our...
Living Life On Social Media
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...
Businesses Do Not Care About Customers
UNITED STATES—We’ve talked about customer service so much before in the past, but let’s talk about it yet again, because it seems we have reached a time in society where businesses simply do not care about their customers. I remember when customer service used to be the thing that mattered most for a company. Having a bad reputation with...
Do Not Waste My Time!
UNITED STATES—I feel like we live in a world where punctuality matters. You might ask me exactly what does that mean. Well, punctuality means being on time, but I sense people think they can meddle on the clock and no one will notice it. Well, in the professional arena many employers might not say something, but if you’re dealing...
It’s All Mental!
UNITED STATES—You might think from reading the TITLE this story might have something to do with mental health or psychology and you would be wrong.

It took around 2 hours. Why so long? I took all the clothing and junk inside my closet to carefully examine. I...
College Admissions Scandal Changes Everything
UNITED STATES—Unless you’ve been under a rock, you’ve heard about the college admissions scandal that has taken the world by surprise. Yes, hearing some of the names involved in the scandal was a slight shock, but I can’t say I’m surprised to hear such things have transpired. If you have money, you have power, and a lot of people...
Americans Are Getting Lazier Each Day
UNITED STATES—Sometimes I wonder about Americans, it seems like each day some new form of technology has been invented that is supposed to make our lives easier. However, in my personal opinion it is not making our lives easier, it’s making us lazier. I heard someone praise and I mean praise the notion of not even having to go...
Should The Age To Vote Be Lowered?
UNITED STATES—It is the age old debate that seems to have no end in sight: should the voting age be lowered in the United States? Before you answer that question think about it for a second. Really think about it America. There is a proposal by a U.S. Congressman Ayanna Pressley from Massachusetts. I didn’t realize that the voting...
The Perks And Drawbacks Of Daylight Savings
UNITED STATES—This weekend marked daylight savings time and for many Americans it has its pros and cons. I don’t mind the notion of gaining an hour of sleep; however, I hate the notion of losing an hour of sleep. That notion of springing forward can create all kinds of chaos. For starters, for those of us who work and...
