How Vocal Helped Me Land My Dream Job (And How to Use It to Land Yours!)
Hello readers! Hope you're doing well. If you're wondering why I didn’t post much last month, it's because I took a hiatus from Vocal to focus on some IRL things. Despite not publishing anything for several days, thank you to everyone who sent me birthday wishes, tagged me in Facebook comments, and sent me Instagram DMs! It felt like I was still connected to this community despite being away. :)

If You Liked This 2010's Movie, Watch This Older Movie
As the saying goes...in art, "it's all been done before." When it comes to Hollywood, it's no secret screenwriters love to base their stories off older films. It's exciting when people say, "this film is the next (insert older film here)." For example, when people said Booksmart was the next Superbad, or how Bombshell's editing style felt similar to The Big Short's. When you have a particular movie or genre you love, it's thrilling to know there's another motion picture out there that will satisfy your craving.

3:33 AM
12:33 PM This was getting old. Her arms felt like gelatin. Her legs were weights. The room was far too bright, and her back ached like crazy. Maybe it was worth it to stay in bed an hour more. This was going to be the rest of her life, it seemed. Wake up, feel like shit, eventually die. Hopefully death came soon.

5 Cool Things You Didn't Know About New Jersey
Hello, readers! Welcome to the first article posted in Vocal's new community of trivia and fun facts! I can't wait to read the wonderful stories you will create within this group. I don't know about you, but I can spend all day sucked down a Youtube rabbit hole watching crazy video essays on "useless" information, so I know this community is going to be something real special.

covid ruined our valentine's day. here's my coping playlist.
I've been on Earth for twenty-two years, and never in my life have I experienced a good Valentine's Day. I don't seem to mesh with the holiday. In elementary school, kids celebrated by handing out candies...which was cool until you realized those candies were Nerds or nasty conversation hearts that taste like chalk. In high school, all my besties had boyfriends save for me. Valentine's Day was the one day a year I couldn't hang with them after school.

How To Edit Your Published Vocal Stories!
It happened again. You spent five hours writing the perfect Vocal article. You got so excited by the fact you finished, you accidentally hit "submit for review" before deleting any spelling or grammar mistakes. Or maybe you did check for mistakes, but you missed a couple in your editing session. If only the article wasn't locked while pending for review - you could take them out right now!

Jimi Hendrix & a New National Anthem
I write this article the day before my country's birthday. With everything happening within our fifty states, I find it difficult to plan for tomorrow. Thinking about sparklers, frankfurters, fireworks and cheer makes me feel like I'm ignoring many elephants in the room. The 4th is the best holiday to celebrate outside, yet this year we need to stay home. Additionally, anti-racist protests demonstrate that while the Declaration calls for "certain unalienable rights," not everyone in this country enjoys those rights equally. How can we celebrate freedom in America when not everyone is truly free? I don't know about you, but it feels hypocritical to me.

Why I Still Binge Spongebob Squarepants as a 22-Year-Old.
Gen Z - my generation - arguably has the best cartoons associated with our formative years. Avatar: The Last Airbender, Adventure Time, Phineas and Ferb, Teen Titans, and Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends are just some of the few gems which graced our television screens after we came home from school. But what was the holy grail of these fantastic cartoons? That nautical nonsense we couldn't get enough of? The television program even our parents knew the theme song to?
