There is only one thing that can truly bring my day to a halt. It’s not lack of coffee, traffic, or a case of the Mondays. No, the one thing that absolutely stops my world is a stomach ache. I don’t have the best of relationships with my digestive track so for me a bit […]

Julianne Moore is Unforgettable in “Still Alice”
Hollywood has long been fascinated with bringing a tinge of real life to film in hopes to connect with audiences. While it is a fundamental element in successful film-making, it’s also prised by many who value the subject matter in hopes to spark a discussion that is important. Based on the 2007 New York Times best-selling novel of the same name by neuroscientist and writer Lisa Genova, Still Alice is more than just a film about the struggle of Alzheimer’s. In many ways, it is a harrowing tale of family, love and the effects on our lives from this debilitating disease.
Finding Meaning in Feeling Lost
As a new year rolls in, it is pretty common that an individual will engage in self-reflection.

But with that self-realization may come days where you experience self-doubt. Doubt about your present, your past or your future. […]

Kristian Bruun & Hannah Cheesman: Passionate about Periods
In recent years, previously-taboo topics like gender, sexuality, and sexual health have become more mainstream. People are becoming more educated about STDs, awareness campaigns are working to remove the stigma against the LGBTQ+ community, and more and more women and men are self-identifying as feminists. People are learning and having discourses that, not too long ago, would have only been found in small niche groups or in a classroom. But there’s another topic that falls under this broad umbrella of gender, health, and human sexuality, and it’s one we haven’t quite demystified yet:
