Luck is a matter of favorable or unfavorable results in life. But is luck a superstitious force or a matter of balance in the universe? Do we make our own luck or does it come to us randomly if we happen to be in the right place at the right time? The world may never know. I think the positivity we...

Love. It seems stupid to have an entire day dedicated to it, but here we are. There are pressures all around us to be cute and romantic. And if we don’t face those pressures because of a lack of someone special, the idea of being sad and lonely on Valentine’s Day surrounds us. Being sweet and rom...

When the ball drops I never shout or post, “New Year, New Me,” because I know I’m still going to be the same doofus from 11:59 p.m. once 12:00 a.m. hits.
