Is 'Girl Math' Economically Viable?
A viral TikTok trend. What do you think?
Move over standard economics lessons, and Girl Dinner. Girl Math is now a viral social media trend in vogue. Rationale: cash is not real money. Spend until you get free shipping. Everything is an "investment."
Some critics interpret this trend as irresponsible money management, while others think it's financially savvy.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

"Challengers" Movie Review
Challengers is a triumphantly sexy cinematic rollercoaster ride, too incredulously fun not to watch. Tashi Duncan is played by Zendaya, the exceptionally emotive young movie star. Matched against her are two gorgeously nerdy-looking young players, Mike Faist as Art Donaldson and Josh O’Conner as Patrick Zweig. All three have the blessing of great chemistry whenever they spar across screen. Alongside their star qualities are bouncing timelines, demonstrating a lifetime of flagrantly competitive choices that create a trail of wasted potential and misguided lust. Director Luca Guadagnino really knows how to make a graceful yet scandalous picture. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's EDM score intensifies the thrill of tennis and prideful characters up to an eleven. After watching Challengers multiple times, I am forced to argue that all sporting events should henceforth take place at a fist-pumping rave. When first hearing about this movie, I thought the entire plot had been offered up within the two-minute trailer. Two friends like a tennis star. Tennis star has a career-ending injury. Tennis star picks blonde boy, and brunette boy is angry. Audience members think they have digested the full ingredients of the film before getting their soles sticky from the theatre floor. Yet, this new-age masterpiece is anything but a simple meal.

Another example of 'Girl Math' is using your airline miles to pay for flights. It is justified; especially when they are close to expiring, as you would hate for them to go to waste, and (luckily enough) you want to, or need to travel anyway. On the other hand, using your credit card to pay for goods that you do not want in order to earn these points is a form of false economy.
Spend until shipping is free? No thank you, lol!
