Real World Problems Singles Face When Searching For Trustworthy Partners
Locating a reliable partner has become one of the greatest challenges facing singles in the contemporary society. The dating world has never been more open and available to people, and at the same time, a lot of individuals have a hard time determining true intentions and emotional stability. The volume of options, the rush lifestyles, and online communications tend to lead to confusion and indecisiveness. When getting acquainted with a new face, singles often doubt sincerity, devotion, and compatibility in the long term.

The Department of Non Education
You are scrolling through a feed, and see a question on the top of the post. We queried one hundred college students. Out of curiosity, you want to know what they asked our young educated kids. It’s a simple question really. What year what the Declaration of Independence?

Duct-Taping the Future of Tomorrow
It’s my second block class, around 10:30 in the morning. The fluorescent overhead lights are off, and the room is otherwise illuminated by the bright sunlight from the windows, the soft lamps surrounding the room, and the colorful Christmas lights hanging from the ceiling. I sit on my stool in front of my 28 general education students. They’re white, black, brown. They’ve all been best friends since kindergarten. We take turns going over the daily writing, where they write about themselves and then we share our stories. The students laugh, smile. They know that we’ll be doing grammar next, so they all tell stories hoping to ward off the inevitable. When everyone has shared and we’ve all finished laughing, we review the sentence corrections, the sentence combining. I give them a little mini-lesson on some aspect of grammar that has eluded them so far. We talk about how weird the English language is, and then we pull out our textbooks or packets or novels or whatever it is we’re reading. We have pencils and highlighters loaded and ready to go. I scoot my stool to the center of the room, and then the reading begins.

James Anthony: A Legacy Forged in Oil, Built on Vision
My name is James Anthony, and my life has been defined by energy — in every sense of the word. Not merely the energy drawn from beneath the 100 Blvd, Norman, Oklahoma soil.

The Myth of the Meritocracy: Why Romanticizing 'Hustle Culture' is Toxic.
We live in a society that often glorifies the relentless pursuit of success, praising individuals who are perpetually “on,” constantly working, and seemingly immune to fatigue. This is the insidious influence of "hustle culture," a pervasive narrative that equates self-worth with productivity and sacrifices well-being at the altar of achievement. But this romanticized vision is a dangerous fallacy, one that fuels burnout, exacerbates inequality, and ultimately undermines the very concept of success it purports to champion.

The Machinery of Care
The system is the appointment. More precisely, the modern healthcare appointment — the quiet choreography of portals, pre-authorizations, referrals, billing codes, intake forms, waiting rooms, follow-ups, and automated messages that feels like care but often operates like administration wearing a white coat.

What the System Forces You to Become
The Question the System Replaces By the time a person has passed through employment law, healthcare coverage rules, unemployment insurance, disability determination, and benefit eligibility, the relevant question has already shifted without ever being stated out loud. It is no longer whether the system helped or failed them. It is whether they managed to remain legible long enough to survive it. Each institutional layer imposes requirements that appear reasonable when viewed in isolation, yet become coercive when experienced sequentially:
