Why is it that every time I try to enjoy a movie at home, my neighbors suddenly decide it’s the perfect time to host a full-blown karaoke night? Like, I’m just trying to watch the epic plot twists of a thriller, and instead, I get serenaded by the sounds of someone completely misjudging their vocal range. And don’t even get me started on the inconsistency—every time I actually want to hang out wit...

Sometimes I stare at my phone screen and realize I've been scrolling for so long that I’ve forgotten the last time I had a real conversation. Like, why am I more comfortable texting “What’s up?” to my mom instead of actually talking to her?
