Rants: Why do we still go through the hell of boarding a flight like it’s some sort of …

I can't be the only one who feels like a complete impostor in my own life, right? Like, one minute I'm acting like I have my life together, and the next I'm Googling "how to adult" while eating cereal for dinner at 3 AM. And don’t get me started on my social media—everyone thinks I'm thriving when I'm just expertly dodging phone calls and pretending to be busy. If anyone else is just one awkward c...

I just finished my favorite book for like the fifth time, and honestly, it’s like visiting an old friend who never judges me for binge-watching reality TV instead of hitting the gym. I mean, how is it that some characters feel more real than my so-called friends? Like, why can’t I find a group chat that’s as witty as the dialogue I read? People say movies and TV shows are where it’s at, but books ...

Why do we still go through the hell of boarding a flight like it’s some sort of gladiatorial battle? You’ve got people standing up the moment the plane lands like it’s the last chopper out of Vietnam, blocking the aisle while trying to pull down their massive carry-ons like it’s a game of Tetris. And don’t even get me started on the "let's all crowd at the gate" dance before boarding. If I wanted to be in a mosh pit, I’d go to a concert, not spend my savings on a ticket to sit in a cramped seat with less legroom than a toddler's playpen. Can we just agree that airports should really invest in a “calm zone” where everyone can meditate while waiting for the chaos to die down?

Why do we even bother with fitness trends? One week it’s all about HIIT, and the next, it’s yoga with goats. I tried that once, and not only did I embarrass myself struggling to hold a downward dog, but I also ended up covered in hay and regret. Meanwhile, my couch is still looking like the MVP of 2023, supporting me through every Netflix marathon. Honestly, I think my true calling is being a prof...
