How to Get Rid of a Crush
Crushes. Everyone has them. From the boy that lives across the street to the stranger you brushed hands with on the subway going home from work. They're romantic, they're positively perfect, they're everything you were looking for.

How to Spot a False Friend
A false friend pretends to have interest. They walk up to you first, demanding friendship. In high school, I simply made better friends after that, I hung out with kids from my old school more than kids from St. Francis. Finding better friends is really easy, spotting a bully or manipulator is also easy. You have no idea that the manipulator will go for it because they are skilled at hiding themselves. They pretend to befriend you but really this is because they want to figure out how to manipulate you. One such bully was manipulating me into throwing out my lunch freshman year.

How I Escaped My Comfort Zone
After coming home from family vacation, I found myself struggling to be excited about the last two weeks of summer. Normally as a student I hold on to that precious chunk of time before school starts to catch up with friends or to cram in every activity on the "Summer To Do List" I make each year but never complete. But this year I'm in a different situation. With university coming up and the realization that a part time job may no longer be possible to juggle, stress has hit me hard.

Long Distance Relationships
1. Text or call whenever you are able to. That doesn’t mean that you have to spend 24/7 talking on the phone (even though that’s somewhat what I did), but at the same time you have to have time for yourself and your partner must have time of their own as well, even though you may not see that now.

How to Stay Away from Peer Pressure
What is peer pressure? Peer pressure is the influence of one's peers on his actions. It's like following a trend! A person is most likely to do what all his friends do to fit in with them. Sometimes, one's peers also force him to indulge in certain things that he might don't want to be a part of but just to keep away from getting bullied, he goes on to be a part of it against his will. This can have major bad affects on one's life and personality. It can have a great influence on the decisions that one makes for himself later in life as well as on his individuality.

Being Hispanic
In this day and age, it is sad to see people still having difficulty accepting different cultures. I am from Hispanic descent. My father and his family are from the Dominican Republic. My mother was born in New York, but her parents are also from the Dominican Republic. I was born in New York, but was raised there and in the Dominican Republic, so I was brought up speaking two different languages simultaneously, English and Spanish. My “native language” is both of them.

First Dates
First dates are the pinnacle of the start of a relationship. They are either a painful shortcut to the end, or the opening to a great beginning. This also means that during the first date there is a lot of stress, anxiety, and awkwardness hanging in the air. A great way of reducing this tension as much as possible is by picking the right place or activity to do for the first date.

What Is a Catfish on the Internet and How to Spot One
A "catfish" is defined as a person creating a false online identity; false pictures, false profile. There is a difference between a fake profile and a catfish though. Many marketers use fake profiles to brandish "likes," "shares," "retweets," etc., and generally, a fake profile won’t reach out to anyone. But a catfish is someone who uses that fake persona to either sell a service (these conversations are usually initiated by "bots," or programs with pre-programmed messages, to a real user) or a real person, essentially present themselves falsely to garner attention, friends or romantic relationships in an internet setting.

How One Can Attain Power Through Displaying Vulnerability
We all like to feel the occasional sense of control. This feeling rises in a multitude of scenarios, such as the relationship between a mother and her child, an employer and his status of superiority over his employees, or even being the decision-maker in a friend group. However, people don’t commonly analyse the importance of these encounters or grasps of power in our everyday life, which is where I believe people make their initial fundamental mistake in the surge for power.
