We’re all aware of people who stay up past 3am for no other reason than one, yes Netflix. Most of the population, or at least my entire social circle, does something known as “binge watching.” The art of rapid firing TV episodes all night may usually results in tardiness, eye bags and a feeling of…

No matter how old we grow to be, cartoons will always bring a smile to our faces, and send the rush of nostalgia through us every single time we watch them. Although I spoke about annoying cartoons in one of my previous blogs, there are many cartoons that will always have a special place in…

With Valentine’s Day just past, there are probably a lot of couples around you. And they sometimes invite you to be the “third wheel” on a date. If you do the following 5 things, you can avoid being awkward or bored. Walk ahead of the couple. Most of the time, you’ll end up…
Ah Valentine’s Day. The dreaded day for singles everywhere. The time where your couple friends are away with their beloved ones and then there’s you: sad, alone, hysterical maybe. Over the years, however, I’ve learned to appreciate Valentine’s Day for other moments. Be it the smallest or the biggest of venues, there’s always something to…
