The Thrill Of A Good Deal
UNITED STATES—I recently heard some people talking about the thrill of getting a good deal. However, they followed that up with the downside, spending money we don’t have to spend. It got me thinking, why are we so prone or quick to snap up a deal because it’s a deal? This is a question that forces us to use...
Artificial Intelligence Is Changing The World
UNITED STATES—I have been hearing so much lately about Artificial Intelligence (AI) that it has started to annoy me to the core. There are people out there saying AI is so great, it is going to make your life easier. Then there are those who are noting the dangers of AI because it is a threat to jobs. I...
Back To School Routine Kicks In
UNITED STATES—Gosh, I feel like the summer of 2023 moved at a feverish pitch. It felt like June just a few weeks ago, but now, we’re wrapping up the third week of August and the kids will soon be headed back to school at the end of the month in most parts of the country. In some states, kids...
It Is Ok To Tell People “No!”
UNITED STATES—It is two letters that so many Americans have trouble saying; no. It was something that has pondered my brain for a seriously long time. Why do we struggle to say this? I think so many struggle with those two letters because we feel like we’ll face backlash by saying it. Why? It’s a psychological thing. We struggle...
Summer Is Fading Away
UNITED STATES—I cannot believe this, we’re already in the second week of the month of August, and it seems like summer is literally over. As soon as it came, it feels like the days are dwindling down and it is sad to see and reflect on people. I do feel like summer is one of the fastest seasons of...
The New Return Policy
UNITED STATES—Something that has recently changed in the retail industry, something that has raised my eyebrows and made me think: hmm, is that a good thing or a bad thing? For me, it feels like a bad thing. Why? The return policy for many retailers vastly changed. I mean 10 days to return an item? That is crazy when...
The Twitter Rebranding
UNITED STATES—It is the one thing that everyone has been talking about for weeks is the constant changes for the social media titan, Twitter or as Elon Musk has renamed ‘X.’ Yeah, do not ask me about the name because I cannot give you an answer. All I can tell you is that it is TWITTER and will always...
When Young Adults Should Become Adults!
UNITED STATES—It is a conversation I think we should be having more often. Why are some young adults not being introduced into adulthood a lot sooner? Well, I guess that all goes back to the parents because if you don’t teach responsibilities at some age you’re going to have children who become spoiled brats if they don’t take on...
Fourth Of July Grilling
UNITED STATES—The Fourth of July for many people is considered the official kickoff to grilling season. However, I beg to differ, I think Memorial Day is the actual kick-off, but when July comes around people really begin to grill and have that cookout. I am a fan of the cookout, but at the same time, I am not. With...
Rude People
UNITED STATES—What is going on in the country of the United States? It seems like the fuse for so many Americans is very short-lived. What do I mean? People are just damn rude and it bugs me to the core. I mean this past weekend, I happened to be running some errands before work and I just couldn’t believe...
