I understand that there are some teenagers that do follow these stereotypes‚ but it’s unfair to categorize us all like that. When I first started my job at T.J.Maxx two years ago‚ there was not a day that passed that I did not feel judged for being a teenager. All of the older associates always questioned what I was doing and stared at me like a just committed the worst crime possible. They did not even give me a chance to prove to them that I know what I am doing and that I am actually pretty

Many people believe that being called a perfectionist is a compliment and something to aim for. But from my own experience of living with a family of perfectionists‚ I can tell you right now that it’s not as glorious as it seems. A study published in the Psychological Bulletin shows that since 1989 there has been a 59% increase in the number of perfectionists which is why it’s important to talk about this issue. Perfection is something we all desire but it’s also something we can never have. Joseph

"What’s it like being a twin?" This is a question I’ve been asked countless times; I don’t blame people for their curiosity. It is an incomparable experience. Few people have the opportunity to experience such a close bond with another individual. From the day of conception‚ we’ve literally been side by side or metaphorically‚ attached at the hip. Such a close relationship resulted in our mutual dependence. Growing up‚ we were always‚ “the twins”‚ sometimes even referred to as “Carlana.” We were

If a person gets all of the worries and regrets out of their mind‚ it is easier to focus on the things that

I stretch my arms and look around to the flag on my wall; the bright red and white including the geometrically perfect maple leaf in the middle. I miss home more and more… Putting that aside‚ I race up my flight of stairs‚ leaving my basement which I use as a room. Just the amount of privacy and freedom one may have when the doors are shut and a cool temperature is present‚ it makes
