When I was in my second year of university at Brock, I found myself in a rather grand predicament towards the end of the first semester.

They are folks who tend to use … More The dangers of non-verbal communication

Unfortunately, though, … More The enticing cycle of wasting time

Remember when FitBit came out and it was all the rage? I know, it seems like eons ago.

I enjoyed using it, and while … More Move over, Apple Watch
If you’re a PC fan, allow me to start this post off by warning you that you’re probably going to want to move your cursor toward the upper left corner of your screen and hit the red button with the ‘x’ on it.

Podcasts aren’t new. They’ve been around for a hot minute, and most of us are fully aware of how great they are.

I use WordPress to operate my blog. When I first started doing this about six years ago, I initially went with a different blogging website; Blogger.

A few days ago, my mom, dad and I had a solid chat regarding how wasteful our society is. Hence the emphasis placed on consumerism; without it, we wouldn’t be nearly as wasteful as we are, in my opinion. Consider cell phones, as a prime example. Depending which company you’re with in terms of a … More This is why we need to stop being so consumeristic
I would wager that pretty well all of us, at one point or another, have sent a text message or an email to someone that we perceived to be pleasant and polite, only for the recipient to interpret the message in an entirely alternate manner and take offence to what was sent.

Batteries, as most of us are aware, aren’t necessarily the best thing for our planet.

Typically, terms such as poisonous and life-saving don’t coincide with one another. If anything, these terms are anatomical, and normally speaking, we wouldn’t think of poison as being something that could save a life rather than take one.

Depression is something that, unfortunately, far too many of us are all too familiar with, including myself.
