Are Vocal Promoting Themselves Enough?
Introduction When i was tempted to join Vocal I remeber seeing advertisements for a writing platform where I could win huge amounts of money if I subscribed to their model, and you know I can resist anything but temptation, so I joined up, and while there have been times that Vocal have annoyed the hell out of me, like when you get entries to challenges that break the rules like this. I am not blaming the creator, and it can be easily corrected, but I am blaming Vocal because some should not have placed. This failed basic rules but was given a Top Story and a Challenge placement.

Is The Rise of Peter Pan Syndrome the New Normal?
Growing up used to follow a fairly predictable timeline. We saw people graduate from school, find stable jobs, move out, get married, and start families, often before the age of thirty. This was the norm. Nowadays, it’s a totally different story; we have been met with overwhelming demand for individuals who are now showing signs of a crisis that has become more prevalent, which is known as “Peter Pan Syndrome.” Recently, I’ve heard more people mention Peter Pan syndrome. I saw a video where someone compared today’s adult struggles to the effects of this syndrome. That made me curious, so I looked into it to see if it’s real. It turns out, it is!

UberEats (Food Truck)
Free food is a life saver for many college student, myself included. I constantly look for any way I can save money, even if it's just a meager dollar. If there's an event with free food that fits in my schedule, you can bet that I'll turn up. If I get something amazing for free and the person who gives it away is kind, I'll pay for seconds. I'll donate to their cause. Whatever they want, I'll do it. If what I get is awful, though, I'll avoid that brand like the plague.
