Things Your Friend Won't Tell You About the Big C
I always hate introducing myself to people. Mostly because I do not have a filter. I share way too much way too soon. My story starts like every other story—with an accident. At 16 years old, I was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma in the soft tissue of my right shoulder. The only reason my doctors discovered it in time was that I hurt myself at work the week before. High school is difficult enough, but to have cancer your junior year? Unbelievable.

Interview with We Sway's Founder, Danny Tirmizi

Now that people are increasingly interested in keeping up with social media influencers, one group has created an app that promises to change the way businesses do social media.

Good Egg Puns Are Hard – Good Eggs Shouldn’t Be
Eggs are sexy. I don’t care what anyone says, and if you don’t like eggs, you’re wrong (barring you poor souls with egg allergies, my heart bleeds for you). The stories about cooking eggs being used as an interview in great kitchens? Yup, it’s a thing. I almost had to make the maple poached eggs I covered in my post on maple for a stage once, and just the mention of the things got me the interview. What I’m saying is, eggs are no joke (insert pun here). My everyday breakfast food? Eggs, in some way shape or form. Rent meal staple? Eggs, in shakshuka or in a spicy cream sauce with chickpeas, and if you feel like it, prosciutto. My death row meal? Probably eggs, to be honest. Keep your lobster, truffles, and wagyu, and lay me down with a scramble or eggs Benny.

10 of the All-Time Coolest Jerseys in Sports
Stadiums and jerseys are not given as much attention as players and coaches are by the media. However, they can be just as big a part of the team as any star player—maybe even more so. Many of baseball's most beautiful ballparks have name and brand recognition that are known by millions of people, and the same can be said for jerseys. Whether it be the design, color scheme, style, or hidden meaning in the logo, they are recognized around the world and are sewn into the identity and reputation of the team.

Stocks That Offer Shareholder Perks
Owning a stock is a great way to make your money work for you, and as most people will tell you, the longer you own it, the more you will be able to profit from them as they increase. Dividends are typically seen as the "ultimate perk" of stocks, since they offer direct payments to the shareholders at least once a year and are definitely a benefit to consider before purchasing stocks.

Two Bodies, One Spirit
The creature frozen in place lies there on the ground. Breathing slightly, emulating how I felt with the wound in my side. Weak, growing colder by the minute becoming more and more lifeless. I stared into the eyes of the creature, seeing the spark of gold in them now seemed to be fleeting away with every breath that expelled from both of our bodies. I wanted to speak, I wanted to comfort it, for it was obvious that we were connected somehow and knowing that it was in the same pain I was in made me want to take all the pain only onto myself. I wanted to spare this poor creature from the agony, that would lead to a slow death.

8 Things I Wish I Knew About Musical Theatre Training

Because at the end of the day you can stand with your head high and say you gave it your best shot.

If you're hosting a really fancy dinner party, you might be tempted to bring out your silverware; and yeah, I mean those utensils actually made out of real silver. Maybe you got them when great Aunt Sylvia died, maybe you're just trying to make sure none of your guests are actually werewolves in disguise. Maybe you just think silver is a girl's best friend.

The Eastern Timber Wolf
I volunteered at the Timber Wolf Preservation Society (TWPS) from 2012 to its closing in 2014. As a tour guide, I learned things I never thought I would. My first-hand experience showed me that much of what I thought I knew about wolves before was false. They are a beautiful species that I think everyone can learn from.

Mental Health at the Movies
It's no secret that the topic of mental health is becoming a more talked about subject in today's society. The media, in particular, is doing a good job of shining a light on the subject and helping remove any stigma that still remains. Over time, the representation of mental health in film has evolved and become arguably more truthful. There are plenty of films that include storylines based on a mental health disorder. Let's take a look at some.
