Not a temporary daddy's girl

Not a temporary daddy's girl

Eminem released “The Death of Slim Shady” a little more than a week ago and, like always, I enjoyed it immensely, but I was shocked by “Temporary.” The song felt like such a 180 after the previous track. Tears began to form in my eyes the moment he said the song was for Hailie and by the time the first chorus hit, I was sobbing at 6 a.m. in bed. Although it doesn’t feature complex lyrics or unique instrumentals, it immediately rose to the top of my album ranking. 07/24/2024 05:00 PM

Breaking generational cycles: what we say and what we mean

If you’ve spent any time on any form of social media lately, you might have noticed the “trend” that spans, I would say, the millennial generation and younger of “breaking generational curses.” 07/03/2024 05:00 PM

Of mice and women

Of mice and women

I met Colson at the beginning of 2021. I was browsing at PetSmart and walked past the rodent cages, where I spotted this small black mouse with huge ears: a fancy mouse. I immediately took a photo of him. I thought he was the cutest thing, but I had never had a pet like this growing up, which is what mice, hamsters and guinea pigs were attributed to in my head (well, actually, I did have a guinea pig for about two days until it bit me and I asked my dad to take it back to the store), so I decided not to get him. 06/19/2024 05:00 PM
