In 2024, it’s no mystery that college-aged kids are sort of obsessed with sex. When I went into my freshman year of college, I was immediately exposed to it. Girls down the hall of our dorm building sneaking boys in, boys in my classes talking about the girls they’ve hooked up with; Even the few…

As this Summer comes closer and closer to an end, it has made me think a lot more about life. Is there truly an answer to it? Philosophers have been trying to figure that out forever. And yet, after thousands upon thousands of years, no one can figure it out. What are we, as humans,…

When you’re single, it seems the world is constantly throwing romance in your face. When you’re in a relationship, you’re so caught up in your own that you don’t even notice everyone else’s around you. But when you are single, that’s when you truly notice it. All the couples holding hands, sharing kisses, or rubbing…

The week is ending on a good note. A note that gives me a sense of optimism for the future. Lately, all I have been doing is complaining about my life and the way things went. I’ve been so caught up in my past that I haven’t given myself a chance to be caught up…

Congratulations! You’ve been talking to someone you thought was absolutely amazing and funny. You thought “this is it; they’re going to be my boyfriend/girlfriend!” You’re walking on cloud nine.

The heaviness in my heart disappeared like ashes between someone’s fingers. There I was tucked into bed, my head on my pillow, my blankets covering me as the ceiling fan’s air…

This last week has been a busy one. On Monday, I was Trent’s plus-one to a party. Our co-worker, Anna, was celebrating her 18th-birthday and wanted to invite some friends. Though Trent and I feel sort of indifferent to her, she has a hot tub, and we couldn’t really pass that up. Besides, he and…

The other night, I was watching an Indian film called “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil”, which discusses unrequited love, its meaning, and how to overcome it. I do not speak Hindi, nor am I even Indian. But for me, Bollywood movies and Korean dramas have always been top-tier. Anyway how, the movie really had me thinking.…

I’m convinced what ”situationships” are to Gen Z, are what ”fuck buddies” were to Millennials. As time goes on, I’ve noticed situationships are becoming more and more common. Especially, for our generation. What exactly defines a situationship though? How is it any different from a talking stage, or a regular relationship? We must break it…
