Food Review
•

To Be Perfectly Imperfect
•
It’s a cheesy cliche to say “everybody is perfect in their own way,” and in my honest opinion, that’s not true. My entire life, I thought my sister was perfect, but she’s not. It was only about two years ago that I came to this realization. She was always the golden child. She followed…

Bail should be based on crimes
•
The bail fairness has often been a trait Americans work for and, in some regards, have been praised for, but that is far from reality. There are many problems with our government, but one that never ceases to amaze me is the flaws within our justice system. One issue I’ve found to be especially…

These days no matter where you go, you’re asked to tip the workers. It used to just be for servers at restaurants, but now it’s for baristas at Starbucks, too.
