Why is it that every time I try to enjoy a movie, I end up watching a two-hour therapy session disguised as a plot? Like, I signed up for explosions and epic battles, not a deep dive into someone's unresolved childhood trauma. And don’t get me started on the hour-long monologues about feelings. I came for the action, not a TED Talk! Can we just have one film where the hero doesn't need to "find th...
So, I went on this road trip with friends, right? We were supposed to vibe to our fave playlist, but somewhere in the middle, we accidentally switched to a podcast about unsolved murders. By the time we got to our destination, all of us were convinced the Airbnb we booked was haunted. I mean, who thought listening to true crime while driving through the woods was a good idea? We spent half the nig...
So here’s my hot take: if your idea of self-care is scrolling through social media while eating junk food, you’re doing it wrong. Trust me, I had a whole week where I thought my therapist would applaud my “rest” but really I was just training to be a potato.

But hey, who wouldn’t choose the couch and snacks over a little sweat and hydration? What are we, athletes?

So, I went on this blind date last week, right? Turns out my "date" was just there to complain about his ex for two hours while I sat across from him like a therapist in a really awkward session. By the end, I knew her life story better than he did. Honestly, I should’ve charged him for the session because if that’s what dating looks like in 2024, I'm officially on strike. At least give me dinner ...
