I am writing this article while under the influence of what TikTokers are calling “audio torture.” There are many versions of the torturous sound to choose from, and mine is this one, which features a warning in its YouTube title (“video and audio can have psychological effects”). Will it actually make me go crazy?…

Irish soda bread is a reliable “anytime-food,” but it’s especially apt for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. This hearty loaf can be a real boon to a packed schedule, since it has few ingredients, the dough comes together in minutes, and it’s ready to eat in less than an hour. Sadly, I’ve come across a host of flat,…

Get ready to start paying student loans again. President Biden’s sweeping plan for student loan relief is currently at the Supreme Court, and whatever the ruling, repayment is likely to start this summer.

When a child does not meet their developmental milestones regarding manual dexterity or small muscle groups, they are said to have a fine motor delay. Rolling, walking, and jumping are all gross motor skills, while picking up a small toy, bringing a Cheerio to their mouth, buttoning a shirt, or writing with a pencil…

Every year on March 14, people all over the country celebrate Pi (π) Day, less because we’re really into the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, and more because it’s an excuse to eat our favorite round things: pies and pizzas.

Poets have written about it. Singers sing about it. Even Kate Winslet muses about it in the 2006 movie The Holiday: “And then there’s another kind of love: the cruelest kind,” she says. “The one that almost kills its victims. It’s called unrequited love.” According to Tal Yardeni, a breakup recovery and dating coach,…

Last weekend I drove to my parents’ house to celebrate my dad’s birthday. I bought them dinner at a little French bistro, then we went home and enjoyed a Spiderman-themed cake my sister provided. (Why Spiderman? She’s a comic book historian, and they were “out of Batman.”) The cake—a carrot cake with cream cheese…

Just as there are some surprising rental repairs and issues that are not your landlord’s responsibility, there are some damages that renters insurance doesn’t have to cover.

With the exception of the whipped cream bikini, I love every whipped cream application there is. Pile it on pies, dollop it into drinks, eat it with a spoon—all methods of getting whipped cream into your mouth are valid, but some are more interesting than others. Whether you like it sweet, plain, or savory, we’ve got…

As if searching for a job wasn’t hard enough, it’s made harder by the fact that many job postings are full of language that is either unnecessarily daunting or flat-out confusing. What does it mean to be a “social media warrior?” Should I not apply if don’t consider myself an “accounting rockstar?”

For years, March 10 has come with Nintendo fans dressing up for themed parties and playing their favorite Mario games. In 2016, Nintendo decided to officially adopt the celebration as Mario Day, according to Mario Wiki.

When you post on Instagram, you don’t expect to find it on other sites or platforms. After all, you posted it to Instagram, not Facebook. But Instagram posts are winding up on Facebook, to the surprise of many inactive Facebook users. So what’s going on?

Like Mark Twain once quipped, land is always going to be valuable because they’re simply not making any more of it. Anyone struggling to make their 500-square-foot apartment or charming two-bedroom bungalow knows this all too well. But since the dawn of civilization humans have solved for this problem with one weird…
