humanity
If nothing else, travel opens your eyes to the colorful quilt that is humankind.
Beyond Words. Runner-up in Travel Snaps Challenge. Top Story - December 2025.
It was about halfway into my seven-week study abroad in rural Kenya that I realized I had not journaled a single time throughout the experience thus far. But even as I sat down that very evening, determined to commit some vital memories and reflections to my journal, I knew I wouldn't make much headway; there was a part of me that was opposed to trying to record this particular journey there. I wanted it to remain separate, unique, untouched by my 'ordinary' life back in upstate New York. In the end, I came away with not even one whole pageful of words.

Just 105 Miles South of Key West
A short window of time opened during the Obama administration allowing Americans to visit Cuba for family or educational reasons. To celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary in 2017, my husband and I booked a cruise and tour in Havana. My father's side of the family came from Cuba, and I have always been curious about his homeland. Although I don't speak the language, just being there would rekindle interest in my heritage.

The Journey
We all have different life experiences. Some of us were born and raised in the same town and have no desire to leave. Then others of us can't seem to stay in one place for more than a year or two. They are always looking for the next adventure or the next thrill.

Everlasting Imprints: The Experience That Lives On
More Than A Vacation Vacations are wonderful. It is a time to get away from the hustle and the daily stress and just relax with your family and friends. My family of eight just returned from Paradisus La Perla - Adults Only all-inclusive and I wouldn't change a thing. It was just what we all needed after my mother's passing a year ago. It was a time to bond, a time to reminisce on the good ole' days, and a time to relax and reflect.

The Legend of big Foot. AI-Generated.
Bigfoot, otherwise known as Sasquatch, is one of the most resilient myths that exist in the North American folklore. The narrative revolving around this bizarre entity that has always been described as a huge, shaggy, apelike man walking on two legs has fascinated believers and non-believers for ages. It is believed that even though there is no concrete scientific proof backing its existence, people still talk about ‘’Bigfoot’’ due to many reports made by eyewitnesses including photographs as well as clips purporting to reveal its actual appearance.

what is time?
Time, an imperceptible string woven into the texture of presence, directs the mood of our lives. We pursue cutoff times, long for lost minutes, and fantasy about getting away from its constant walk. However, when squeezed to characterize it, time turns into a tricky idea, a philosophical maze that has enthralled masterminds for centuries. This paper dives into the secrets of time, investigating its complex nature, its significant effect on our impression of the universe, and the continuous mission to unwind its actual embodiment.
