Coffee is more than a beverage to me: it’s a lifestyle, and it’s a way of making life more pleasurable. I consider myself a coffee addict, in fact it’s something I proudly declare on most days; however, it’s often a struggle to find a good cup in the endless sea of overpriced, corporate coffee houses. There are some days when the burnt beans of Starbucks simply cannot cut it when it comes to my caffeine fix. London is a place where there’s not a shortage of anything, much less coffee shops. If…
How did it all begin? A few months ago I came across a video by Casey Neistat and was completely captivated by his work. I 've never been a Youtube/Netflix user but there was something really exciting about how he turns everyday activities into little adventures. That made me think about the kinds of trouble me and my friends get up to and how much fun it would be to record them so - with no experience or former interest in videos - I picked up my iphone and started to film. In the beginning it…
After the Civil War ended, things were hard. People don’t know what to do. There lives had changed. This unhappiness moved over from there lives to the written page. Thusly the Southern Gothic is formed. From this, came the really good story called A Good man is Hard to Find. This story tells the story of a man and his family who are going to Florida, even though the grandma doesn’t want to; because of the criminal that escaped prison named the Misfit, who unsurprisingly plays a very important…
Why “Happily Ever After” is Ruining our Marriages Imagine the perfect, fairy tale wedding: A dainty bride in a pristine white, flowing dress, a handsome groom clad in an ebony tuxedo, a picturesque flowergirl and ringbearer, the birds chirping and the sun shining, and a carriage waiting to carry away the newlyweds. But after that… then what? Happily ever after? This is the western approach to romance. Americans expect the love that begins with their significant other’s looks, as that is…

In an ideal society, individuals would follow the law and coexist in harmony. However, as we know, the world is filled with corrupt people that degrade society’s welfare by harming those around them. These people include criminals such as burglars, robbers, rapists, and, the most jarring, serial killers. The latter murder multiple people in differentiated events due to psychological reasons. One of the most notorious serial killers is Marybeth Tinning, known for her multiple slayings of her…
Four Seasons Hotels is one of the most successful and well known hotel chains in the world due mainly to its emphasis on great customer service. When Isadore Sharp opened his first motel in 1961, he made his business stand out from others because of his service oriented philosophy he instilled upon his employees and operation. At this time, customer service was not as big and well-known as it is today so Sharp was able to become very successful with this strategy. Sharp was also a great leader…
History to me is fascinating. The people of history lived in a completely different world than we do now, and it sometimes seems unrealistic to imagine their lives. For so many, history is just a list of facts and dates. If people were to really look closely at history they can learn about people, who were just like us, even though they lived in an entirely different era. To be able to connect to someone that lived hundreds or thousands of years ago, in a completely different world is utterly…
how to say no when their friends want to go out to eat. When friends hang out, what do they normally do together? They go out to eat, and I have the same problem, I don’t know how to say “I’m not hungry” to my friends when they are ready to go have brunch or dinner. This type of situation can cause you to eat twice as much as you normally would. Your body gets used to eating that much and you start to get hungrier a lot more often and your stomach gets…
