I recently went to Costa Rica and unlike my usual adventures, I didn’t make a checklist. There were no must-see waterfalls, no zipline excursions, no meticulously scheduled day trips. In fact, I did something truly radical. I chilled. It wasn’t entirely my idea, of course. My son made […]
Apparently, the LSAT is back in vogue. In September 2024, about 18,811 people registered to take it. Fast forward one year, and 32,170 brave souls signed up in September 2025. That’s a jump big enough to make you wonder: are we entering a new Age of the Lawyer? […]
People love a good mystery especially one that involves vanishing ships, spooky fog, and compasses losing their moral and magnetic direction. The Bermuda Triangle usually hogs the spotlight, but little do most know there’s a Midwestern cousin lurking quietly up north: the Lake Michigan Triangle. Or as I […]
There are exactly 76 days left in the year. Seventy-six! That’s just enough time to panic, make a resolution to not panic, and then decide to do something new instead. I’ve been thinking. What if, rather than waiting for January 1st to reboot our lives, we start the […]
Sometimes you read a headline that makes you double-take, rub your eyes, and mutter, “No, surely this must be from The Onion.” But no. Real life, yet again, outdoes satire. A neurosurgeon. Yes, a brain surgeon has been arrested for what officials described as “an incredible lack of […]
Apparently, according to some clever neuroscientists (the kind who spend their days scanning brains instead of doom-scrolling LinkedIn), we humans average about 6,200 thoughts a day. That’s 6,200 neural costume changes. One minute you’re thinking about breakfast, the next about that email you forgot to send, and suddenly […]
You’ve heard the age-old debate: Is the glass half full or half empty? Cue the philosophical tug-of-war between optimism and pessimism. Psychologists have written treatises on it. Motivational speakers have made careers out of it. Team leaders have led icebreakers around it. And somewhere, an over-caffeinated intern once […]
There comes a point in every parent’s life when you realize you’re not just running a household. You’re running a diner. No, not the cozy kind with checkered floors and sassy waitresses. I mean a full-blown, high-pressure, breakfast-rush kind of diner where the customers are perpetually hungry, impatient, […]
This past week has felt like an emotional battery warning blinking at 5%. Everyone I’ve talked to from friends, coworkers, to random commuters with dead eyes clutching coffee cups have been saying the same thing: “I’m so drained.” It’s become the week’s unofficial mantra, right up there with […]
It’s the start of my long weekend, and instead of doing something wholesome like hiking or reorganizing my sock drawer (which has seen better days), I decided to do what any self-respecting overworked human does. I binge-watched my way to enlightenment. I started off with a documentary on […]
