C'mon, spill the tea.
When I travel, I try my best to travel like a local. I like to eat at the cool local dives and go to places suggested by the locals rather than the sponsored suggestions on Yelp and Travelocity. I live in a very touristy place, close to some major tourist attractions. Being a tourist is […]
Euthanasia is something that I have always learned to be wrong. I think I just went with that way of thinking of it as wrong because I did not realize all that it really entails. In my mind, and in the minds of some of the author’s we have studied, active and passive euthanasia are […]
As promised, here is the second installment to my mini-series, Ethics With Em! – – – As human beings, we are constantly faced with decisions. Chicken or beef? A burger or a salad? Run the water while brushing your teeth or conserve it? Have a positive or negative attitude? Feed your dog or just wait […]
A Summer of Savings As the summer comes to an end, so does my 13-Week Summer Saving Plan. If you know me or if you have read my post on deciding to transfer from a school that was completely covered by scholarship to one that not, you know that I had made a really […]

Last semester, I took a class called Social Ethics that basically dealt with different social issues from environmental issues to poverty to the death penalty. We were presented liberal and conservative views in many different cultures on many topics. Our running assignment was to keep an online journal to reflect on the issues and ethics […]
I have spent the past 7 years of my life living in South Florida, and let me tell you, I absolutely love it. I love the culture, the diversity, the food, the sun, the beach, the tourists, everything. Even during the rainy season, the weather outshines that of the majority of the US. I have learned to […]
Throughout my 19 trips around the sun, the question of pet peeves has come up in countless icebreakers and get-to-know-you games. Up until recently, I have not been able to name my biggest one.
