School takes up a huge majority of our childhoods and teenage years, yet what are we really learning? For those who have finished, we all have very varied, and often strong opinions of that time.

Body Image: Why I’m “Fat” Sometimes
I'm no stranger to weight gain, weight loss, and that whole drama of size in general. Also, yes, I understand this is a provocative title, but that's the vibe I was going for, so...

While chatting they happened to bring up the recent Nice massacre tragedy: originally they had planned to spend Bastille Day in Nice.… Continue reading God is Good?
