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.

Finding Your Own Prompts
Introduction Sometimes I feel that I have nothing to write about and today is one of those days, so I end up writing a piece like this. People inspire me to write but at the moment I feel I am trying to knit smoke or nail jelly to my ceiling.

The Side Hustle I Thought Would Change My Life. Top Story - May 2026.
Decisions to Make The hardest part of writing this, since I knew ahead of time that I wanted to write it, was trying to decide which side hustle to write about. Yes, there were several over the last many years. So, I’ve chosen not to write this about just one and instead to just give you some of the examples that I’ve come across and left. I truly thought each of them was going to change my life and my financial situation. I was wrong.

Stop Networking at Conferences. It's Costing You $23,000 a Year.. AI-Generated.
I spent $4,700 on conference attendance last year and generated exactly zero meaningful business relationships. That's when I realized the entire networking playbook I'd been following was designed to make conference organizers rich, not to make me connected.

Plagiarism and Copyright
An Introduction The image above is from Slideshare Here There has been a lot posted about plagiarism recently and it is quite right that it is brought to the forefront and action taken where it occurs. The thing is that it has made me feel like the world’s biggest plagiarist because of the nature of my writing and has made me feel like I should drop out of the various Facebook Vocal groups because I am an effective writing criminal, though I will not leave unless asked to go or am actually removed. So here are a couple of definitions that I will work within this article which hopefully doesn’t get reported for plagiarism itself

Authorship vs Refinement
Much of the confusion surrounding artificial intelligence and writing comes from a failure to distinguish between two fundamentally different acts: originating ideas and refining their expression. These acts are often treated as interchangeable, as though whoever touches the final form must also be the source of the thought itself. That assumption does not reflect how writing has ever worked, nor does it reflect how human thinking actually unfolds.

Institutions Fear Inference More Than Lies
Institutions are often willing to tolerate isolated falsehoods, minor inaccuracies, selective framing, and even outright contradictions. A single lie can be corrected, buried, explained away, or isolated from the larger structure. What institutions consistently resist is not merely factual disagreement. They resist inference. They resist the moment when separate observations are connected into a pattern, and the pattern begins to imply responsibility.

Immunity and Practical Unaccountability
In theory, no one is above the law. This phrase is repeated often enough that it functions as a civic mantra, a reassurance that power is ultimately constrained and that authority remains accountable to the same moral and legal standards imposed on everyone else. On paper, police officers, prosecutors, and government agents are subject to the law just like any citizen. They can be investigated, disciplined, sued, or prosecuted when misconduct occurs.

Writing as Journal, Not Just Product
Not everything that matters begins as something meant for an audience. Much of what shapes a person most deeply starts as private wrestling, unfinished realization, unresolved tension, or a question that has not yet settled into a firm position. Treating writing only as a product meant for consumption misunderstands one of its most essential functions. Before writing becomes communication, it is often orientation.
