Meals For One: Kale Chips
Having had a rather hectic week, I was inspired to make a recipe for singles living a hectic week. While not technically a full meal, kale chips are a wonderful snack with the added bonus of being (mostly) healthy.

Lego Bricks Taken to a Giant New Level
At 21 years old, I am still a proud fan of building with Lego products, putting me into a group fondly known as AFOL- Adult Fans of Lego.

Meals For One – Egg in a Cup
I've never been a big fan of eggs, but I'm a huge fan of anything that can be made directly in a cup that I can take around with me. And this recipe fit the bill.

The bridge has the highest number of suicides of any structure in the world, with about two dozen successful and 80 attempted suicides each year- resulting in 1,500 deaths since the bridge opened, this decision seems long overdue.

OPINION: A Debt-Free Student’s Thoughts on Student Loans
I will openly admit: I was fortunate enough to not be in a situation where I'm dealing with debt. My parents, and most of my friends' parents, were willing to take on the financial burden of college in order to allow their children to focus on education.
