Top 5 Unhealthy Foods You Used To Eat (Or Maybe Even Still Eat)
It is increasingly hard to eat healthy in today’s modern society. With expanded work hours and the constant feeling of remaining busy, it sure is nice to be able to scarf down 6 Jack in the Box Tacos, a large plate of onion rings, and wash it all down with a Sprite Remix. Alas, I for one can say that I used to eat this way but have since changed as I ditched the junk for healthier options. But I am curious. What other terrible stuff did I eat or maybe even still eat now? That is what we wi...

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Courage is fear holding on a minute longer. He who has overcome his fears will truly be free. I can keep going if you want….Happy Halloween, everyone. Who doesn’t love this magical holiday? Tons of candy, costumes, and plenty of scares. Fear is an emotional reaction to something in our lives that we deem as unsavory or scary. This is basically why I love horror films. But not all fears are as simple as a vampire or giant spider. Some fears run existentially deeper. So, how can we q...

Who doesn’t love to sing? In the car, in the shower, with friends. But never, never in public. (Actually, I love public singing as much as I love public nudity.)
