Health & Fitness > Emotional Health & Wellbeing Are you a victim or a survivor

1 of 14

I feel that within the last couple years these two words, that once use to be synonymous to me, are now anything but. I never use to view the word victim with a negative connotation until I became one (well, a survivor that is). Then I couldn't help but hear the difference between these two, very opposing, words. Many years a... More..

Jobs & Careers > Career Path & Goals Career goals: Why you should put society on the back burner & go after your dreams

4 of 30

Regret is probably one of the biggest personal fears I have. I fear that this little word will show up in my life whenever I ignore a small dream I once pondered, or whenever I fear failure or financial instability and decide to choose a more simple path in life. I forget sometimes that society wants you to believe that witho... More..

Sciences > Psychology Why a human being needs solitude

4 of 17

Perhaps I take on an individualistic persona when I say this, but I enjoy the feeling of solitude. In a world where people often enjoy socializing and jumping from one event to the next, there is something luxurious and slow-paced about those moments to yourself. As many would agree, the weekdays are mostly composed of hittin... More..

Health & Fitness > Emotional Health & Wellbeing The role of happiness: Are you happy

8 of 26

One of the most famous statements that comes to mind when thinking about happiness and all it entails, is the Declaration of Independence's statement that everyone is entitled to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Seems rather simple, but happiness is a rather convoluted and abstract concept, and true happiness de... More..

Sciences > Psychology Are there differences in intelligence between races?

12 of 29

As someone who is culturally conscientious, I think it is important to accept that there are differences in intelligence between races. First off, I look at race as being only a small part of a person's identity, and I find that I focus more on the ethnicity and culture of an individual than anything else. This being said, I ...

Sciences > Psychology Change and how people deal with it

15 of 31

I have always been told that change is all a part of growing up. Nothing can stay the same forever, and as much as one may enjoy the comfort and familiarity of an environment that doesn't change, it isn't necessarily practical. For me, the majority of changes started when I entered college, and from then on change continued t... More..

Education > College Courses & Majors Deciding your college major

4 of 5

When it comes to taking your first big steps in the exciting new world of college, it is important to have an idea of what topics and fields of study interest you the most. I think it's difficult to choose a field at such a young age. You are fresh out of high school, and as much as you want to think you know yourself and you... More..

Sciences > Anatomy Do humans use only 10 percent of their brain?

18 of 21

I have heard this question asked so many times, and I'm always so shocked at how many people believe this statement to be true. As someone who has studied Neuroscience extensively, I can say without a doubt, that we use every bit of our brain. Our brain is an amazingly complex piece of anatomy, and while researchers are still... More..

Gift Card WonderlandThe minute the weather becomes brisk out and the leaves turn their beautiful shades of orange and yellow I find myself in the Christmas spirit. It doesn't take much for me to be the bearer of holiday cheer as I have always had wonderful associations with the holidays. In my family, holidays are festive and... More..
