Volume 99: Area 51 – The Age of Vulnerability

May 12, 2023

2

Today is my birthday. After having 51 of these, it almost seems unremarkable but, upon closer inspection, it does require some celebration. You see, looking ahead there seems to be fewer summers than the ones behind. This may sound like an existential crisis, but it’s more of a realization. A realization that causes me to […]

Volume 96: Social Distancing Has Made Us More Social

April 6, 2020

0

At first glance, the phrase "social distancing" seems like an oxymoron. How is it possible to be "social" and "distant" at the same time? This "new normal" has placed us in a precarious position. We must now find new ways to connect with the hopes that we can continue to live in the face of uncertainty and death.

Volume 93: The Paralysis of Perfectionism

November 12, 2018

0

How often do we pretend to be perfect? How often do we post our blessings, edit our pictures, and summarize our lives within the prism (or prison) of perfectionism? We work hard to put forth the best image of ourselves. We love to show our friends and family how special and exciting our lives have become. Isn't this the purest form of perfectionism? And, more importantly, doesn't this move us further away from truly connecting with one another?

Scholarly post on how the Dunning-Kruger effect and Reaction Formation have altered the landscape of urban youth and their attitudes towards education and the definition of success.

Volume 87: Online Dating Needs to GO AWAY!

February 22, 2017

0

All of the online dating sites boast their legitimate appeal and tout their success stories. But, what's the other side of the story? Are these sites filled with genuine people sharing who they are with the world, or are they catfish farms filled with internet trolls, semi-stalkers, and Craig's List killers?

Volume 86:What has happened to us? A view of the state of our communities…
