Midwest Murder Mystery
When I moved to Muncie, Indiana, I was elated to discover that there was more to do than where I’d lived before (which was quite deep into the country.) Everywhere I turned, there was an easily accessible fast food place or little oddball shop to check out. Did you know Garfield creator Jim Davis is from Muncie? You even see him around town on occasion. Additionally, David Letterman went to Ball State University in Muncie and even has a mailbox specifically for him downtown. Last I heard, a building was being named after him as well.

Dr. Jen Gunter, a Modern Women's Health Hero
One of the best things to happen on social media is finding someone entirely worth befriending or following.

We're All Mothers for a Moment
What if all women were mothers, even without having children? Even the people who choose not to have their own children have experiences in being a motherly figure to others, whether they've noticed or not. Growing up with a mother I didn't feel I connected with, I learned to seek motherly wisdom elsewhere, desperate to gain some sort of motherly attention that many kids are privileged enough to experience. Of course, there is no actual replacement for the woman who tried her best to raise you as a child of her own. However, I found bonds in places I never expected, and these served as mother moments for me.

If Nothing Else, I Was Creative
The year 2000 should have destroyed the world as we knew it. At least, that's what a lot of people believed and told me as 1999 drew to a close. As if Y2K wasn't terrifying enough, imagine knowing that your coveted "teen" birthday took place in that year. It was dramatically fated.
