So, I’m going to Florida for spring break — and yes, I plan on rubbing that in everyone’s face as much as possible. This is my first major trip I’ve handled start to finish by myself. I’ve...

I live by my schedule. I’m not quite down to the minute, but I actually set aside time to plot out the next week — so you get the idea. I have alarms set for when I need to wake up and when...

In the past year, we’ve had people killed by authority figures because of their skin color. We’ve seen mass shootings because someone felt women were denying him the sex he felt he deserved. A...
