    Redefining & Accepting the Single Relationship Status

    The meaning of being single has changed over the years and I think it is important to recognize and respect this choice. Being single can have some very surprising and positive impacts on someone such as being therapeutic, energizing, an increase in time, and simply the best choice for some people. The positive benefits of being single are becoming increasingly

    The Evolution of Language

    The English language shares many words in common with other languages. These words sometimes will have similar meanings but not always the same meaning. I would like to take a small dive into the discussion of this topic and question if the English language is being disrespectful to other languages by having different meanings of these words. I had not

    Vegan Material is the Future of Fashion

    Activists have been fighting for many years to end the use of animals in fashion. Doing so would end the violence and exploitation of animals in the industry, and create an opportunity for a more eco-friendly, healthy, and sustainable future. I have seen many victories celebrated for animal rights such as big brands banning the use of fur in

    Are New Year’s Resolutions Bad for us?

    At the start of many new years, we often would form at least one resolution: "a firm decision to do or not to do something" for the year. Arguably, it has been suggested by some of my peers that participating in this tradition is too much pressure on yourself. On the flip side, some people thoroughly enjoy resolutions and challenging

    Teaching My Dog Another Language

    Before the pandemic started, in 2020, I took a trip to a country in which language I didn't speak. It was an incredible trip and I am so glad I went while I could. One thing I had really wished for was that I had given myself time to learn the language more before going. So, like many, I made

    Liberating Animals Even Further

    Although humans have come a long way with human rights, there is still much to be learned from our past experiences with it. Animals, like humans, are currently going through the early stages of the development of their rights. They are considered to be grouped in classes by humans such as “pets”, ”livestock”, and “wild/feral”. I hope this post might

    Interview environments often put pressure on the candidate(s). In some cases, this makes sense, life can be competitive. However, I believe a more successful investment that an interview process would benefit from would consist of leveling the playing field.

    Why would we continue to love someone who is toxic to us? They may do things that are harmful to us emotionally or maybe physically, however, they remain sentient beings.

    To support murder and then flaunt a dead person around as a fashion accessory is disgusting. I will admit I had worn fur and animal products. It was a social norm that was encouraged by society.

    Wild Animals & Their Fear of Humans

    Intentionally or not, humans are currently considered super predators [1] to other animals and are considered an unsustainable threat to the ecosystem.

However, when we apply these justifications- as if it were a human in the enclosure, it would be considered unjust. Humans would rather live free with the possible risk of predators, unknown food sources, or
