Autobiography
#1 Why I Studied Modern Journalism: From “Shy Kid” to Explorer. Top Story - August 2025.
Growing up, I was the quiet one. I was the kid more likely to listen than to speak up. I was told I was not ‘journalist material.’ Journalists were bold, and they chased stories, asked hard questions, and were generally pushy. I was labeled shy and became so. At 18 years old, that seemed to rule out my secret dream. I blocked it out, forgot about it, and decided to cross off the fields I wasn’t made for when it came time to choose a university.

Luna the Lopsided Lion
In the heart of Sunspot Savannah, where golden grass swayed with the wind and birds sang sweet songs at sunrise, lived a young lion cub named Luna. But Luna didn’t look like the other lions in her pride. Her left ear flopped down, her right one stood up straight.

The Rise of Artificial Intelligence: How Machines Are Changing Our World
Imagine someone showing you a video in which you appear to be doing something—but you know with absolute certainty that you were never there. What if someone sends you a photo of a person claiming to be themselves, and it looks completely real, but that person doesn’t exist at all? Or you upload a picture of your late grandfather into an app, and it starts talking back in his voice and style. These may sound like scenes from a sci-fi movie, but they are very real—and powered by one thing: Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Idiopathic Idiot
Oiy, I must be hungover. But it was just one little wine cooler—I shouldn’t be hungover. My eyes are killing me, though. Look left, and it stabs. Look right, and it stabs. Up and down stab, too. There’s a dull ache behind them. It hurts so bad, I’m thinking about calling into work. On a scale of one to ten, I’d give it a solid seven. Anything above a six for me is pretty bad. What’s a ten?

Idiotopathic Idiot
My heart is jittery, hands sweaty as I hold the roughed-up green folder that’s barely holding it together and filled to the brim with my life story. My one in one-hundred-thousand in one-hundred-thousand story. Tears pool in my eyes, blurring my vision. Naturally, my head hurts. There’s pain in the back of it, behind my eyes, and my ears are ringing.

The Door I Almost Didn’t Open: A Moment That Changed Everything
1. The Silence Before the Storm There are moments in life that arrive without fireworks. They don’t announce themselves with thunder or flashing lights. They come quietly—so softly, in fact, that you barely notice the weight they carry. Mine came on a rainy Tuesday afternoon in a small, suffocating town where nothing ever changed and dreams were buried under the rubble of routine.
