The only way to get through the daunting week of work or school is to give each weekday a milestone. Monday generally sucks, knowing you have four more days until you’re free again, but you at least have classmates and coworkers to wallow with you in misery. Wednesday is Hump Day, Thursday is thirsty (Happy Hour, anyone?), and Friday is TGIF. 

What about Tuesday you ask? We used to look forward to new music releases on Tuesday -- new tunes to get us through the rest of the week. Now the global release date has been moved to Friday. Tuesday is as irrelevant as ever.

I had the worst meal of my life when I was nine years old -- in London. Or at least that’s how I remember it.

If you haven’t heard of the 19-year-old Australian, Essena O’Neill, then take two minutes -- she’s everywhere. She’s been praised on major news outlets such as CNN, BBC, ABC and many more for announcing the “truth” about social media.

The fascination with dog to owner resemblance is nothing new to social media. Hilarious photos of people with their dogs have gone viral on multiple social media platforms.

On Oct. 19, Twitter user End Cultural Marxism tweeted “#BoycottStarWarsVII because it is anti-white propaganda promoting #whitegenocide." This tweet provoked a heated discussion about the casting of the hugely anticipated sequel, Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, to the original trilogy.

As an ambassador for animals’ rights, I often find myself answering the same question over and over again. It made me wonder if a “movement of conciseness “ (as I like to call it) is starting to gain momentum. I often hear people talk amongst themselves about being more conscious on their purchases and how often they also become frustrated because being “humane” and “sustainable” seems way too much trouble.

However, they are curious and they do want to know the facts.

In April this year, viral outrage was sparked over a weight-loss advertisement in London underground stations showing a slender blonde model next to the question: “Are You Beach Body Ready?”

For someone like me who appreciates a good creative challenge, a test of pop culture relevancy, and a pun every once in a while, Halloween is the holiday of all holidays.

There are few triumphs more rewarding than perfectly executing a group costume after hours of brainstorming and scouring the Internet for reference sources. But there is something about my beloved October 31^st that vexes me every year. It’s harder to be a girl than a guy on Halloween.

The way things are going, it seems the future will be filled with people who met online. Couples who meet the traditional way --  through family, friends, or a good old fashioned meet-cute -- will get the side eye. Everyone else will be swiping away or whatever new technology will enable us to do.

Are you a French expat who has moved to the United States or an American who has taken up residence on the old continent? Well, you have probably noticed many cultural differences in little things from daily life. They are often of little importance, but sometimes crucial. They change the way you live in a foreign country and understand its people.
