I Think It Must Be
The day was the fifth of March There was no particular occasion to be had Besides the unexpecting you to come. * Meanwhile, I am caught in a cloud of change

To Hold Your Dreams Close
I don't allow myself to reveal my dreams to very many people. I like to keep them close, nurturing them, hoping that they will come to fruition. Maybe it’s because I don’t want to set high expectations, I already do that too much in my own mind; I don’t need the same nagging external feeling that I’m not doing enough. Maybe it’s because I don’t like being vulnerable with people I can’t trust. Maybe, I like to hold my dreams as secrets. So that when I achieve them, I will be happy for myself. I don’t need outside praise or approval, I can find it within.

New Technological Advancements, New Ways to Exploit Women
What is a deepfake? A form of AI, a deepfake software enables the user to swap the faces on a video, creating an illusion that a person is doing or saying something that didn’t occur. Currently, there are a few major software companies on the market performing deepfakes, including “Faceswap,” “DeepFaceLab,” and “Deepfakes Web.” This software is free; anyone that downloads it can use it, some even are available in the app store.

Thinking The Dog Days Are Over
I never grew up with a dog. When I was very little, all I wanted was a little puppy. A bea-go to be exact. I did all the research, (as in what type of dog I thought was the cutest) and thought this beagle-golden retriever mix would be the perfect addition to our household.

Finally Drifting
“Marci, time to get up for school,” my mom would shout from the bottom of the staircase, “we’re already running late!” “I can’t lift my head up” I groaned back.

Getting Rid of the "New Year, New Me" Mantra. Top Story - January 2022.
“New Year, New Me” I’m tired of the marketing target placed on the new year. The tummy-tea, the new diets, and the constant comparison to others, especially at this time of year. Because of this overwhelming fake-positivity, I have recently retired from the idea of a typical “new year’s resolution” because if there is any time to start doing something I want, it’s now. At any point in the year, if I want to start something new, I should.

Spilled Milk
They tell me not to cry over spilled milk But what if I want to, What if I want to cry over something insignificant So I won't have to face the real reason

They're All Blue
The air was much warmer than it usually is in December. I only needed a light coat. No hat, no gloves, no scarf. The weather has been motionless recently.

Why We Need Open-Captioning in Movie Theaters
“They also ask me about American Sign Language, which I'm very proud to showcase. At the same time...there's so much more to the deaf experience than being a signer. It's how to live in a space that is for a world which is auditory. How do you share that space? I'm really interested in talking about those things.” -Lauren Ridloff, interview with WMagazine

What They Don't Tell You About Acne. Top Story - December 2021.
Acne is still a taboo subject. Aside from a few remarks like, “Oh I have so many blackheads,” or “Ugh, I can’t wait to pop this pimple,” people don’t really like to talk about it. Especially cystic acne.

Through the Movement
“Marla, have you turned on the channel yet?” The rain pattered on the window as the hum of the heater stirred in my ears. I play with the sticker on the back of the remote, accidentally peeling it off in a motion that only removes half of it, leaving only shredded paper and residue.

Broadway is Back
This is the ultimate guide to finding the cheapest prices on Broadway this fall. Everyone’s ecstatic about the return to Broadway. However, the prices still exclude such a large community of people who want to see any show possible.
