How I've Earned Over $4,000 from Vocal Challenges
After my internship ended early from the coronavirus pandemic and freelance film industry jobs were left in shambles, I found myself with an overabundance of time and a lack of money. Fortunately, I remembered a little website called Vocal where I won a writing Challenge the year before.

Auschwitz, Death Anxiety, and 2020
“History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes” – Mark Twain It's embarrassing to say, considering this challenge is about backpacking to a relaxing dream destination, but in 2021, I will be visiting Auschwitz. Yes, the Auschwitz. Final destination of every Holocaust movie. A nightmare for survivors. Perhaps the literal definition of hell on earth.

Where Should You Travel To After the Pandemic? {QUIZ}
Aaaaaaah, vacations. Remember when people relished time off, no work, and staying away from friends and family? In March, I thought quarantining was going to be like a vacation. Only two or three weeks, and the virus would be gone forever and we could go back to normalcy!

Jim Carrey’s Best Biden Moments On SNLTop Story - November 2020
It's over! After a very stressful week of us staring at a red and blue United States map, the election came to a close earlier this month on Saturday, November 7th. Joe Biden will become the 46th president of the United States. For many, it's a weight off our shoulders after four long years of racism, bigotry, sexism, and flagged tweets.

Not A Turkey, But A Peacock
This Thanksgiving, some folks may be grateful for the fresh turkey on their dinner plates as they eat away the stress of a crazy year. As for me, I'm thankful for another bird with distinctive feathers and an incredible personality.

Cinematic Exercise
If you're like me, the very thought of doing a workout makes you shrivel up into a ball and lie still for several hours. It's exhausting to think about, and even more exhausting when you're running down the street or lifting dumbbells in the air. The tiredness, the sweat, the time it takes to finish a drill...it doesn't seem like it's worth the effort.

24 Hours Dressed As Sexy Patrick Star (A Memoir)
You know when you're looking through your closet of clothes, and you can visualize the great memories you've had while wearing them? A fancy sweater reminds you of a great first date, or a trench coat reminds you of a day you received good news. Sometimes we refuse to give away clothes we haven't worn in years because of the good times we've had in them.

Optical IllusionsTop Story - October 2020
During the spring semester of my freshman year, a friend named Sophie convinced me to attend meetings held by my college's Hillel Society. I am not Jewish, but since I was friendless and didn't have anything better to do, I came to the miniscule meetings where the club watched films on Judaism and ate kosher pizza. Born and raised Catholic, I felt like an intruder. But people welcomed me, and for a few weeks, I was less alone than I was before.

The Master of Horror’s House
It was a gloomy day - the cold, quiet, solemn kind - when my family and I made the long journey to Bangor, Maine. We had spent over 7 hours escaping a tropical storm. Back home in New Jersey, the power was cut, houses were flooded, and the fence in our backyard had been damaged from a fallen tree. But in the northeastern part of the United States, all you could feel was leftover tension.
