Finding a job

Job boards are constantly filled with listings that feel irrelevant or illegitimate. I want a simpler, more direct way to pinpoint genuine roles that align with my specific skills and long-term career aspirations.

Caregiving for a family member

My mom is sick and I wish there was a simple and affordable way to get assistance with caring for her and allowing me to have some time to myself. There aren’t too many volunteers to assist me and hiring a nurse can be expensive. I never ha…

Getting easier transportation to and from work

Times have been tough, and my car recently broke down. Taking public transit to work on schedule has proven to be a real struggle. The only bus that gets me there on time runs at the exact moment my daughter boards her school bus. The follo…

Having friends as an adult

Making friends as a kid on the playground felt so effortless compared to trying to find adults to connect with now. Since I’m not really into the bar scene, I’ve tried striking up casual conversations with people waiting in line at the stor…

To have a green thumb

Despite buying and receiving multiple plants for my new home, I keep running into trouble — either overwatering them or letting them wither away. Even after reading blogs and seeking advice, I still haven't found a method that works, and I …

Finding true love

Navigating app after app and enduring endless dates has become exhausting and disheartening, making me want to give up on finding genuine love altogether. Why does finding a real connection with a soulmate have to feel like such an uphill s…

Free healthcare for all

Why is adopting universal healthcare in America so challenging compared to Canada? The system continually prioritizes pharmaceutical corporate interests and protecting the wealth of the elite over public well-being.

To get into college

Application fees add up quickly after applying to numerous colleges. Since my parents are not offering financial support and their income disqualifies me from receiving scholarships, covering these costs has become a real challenge.

To talk to my parents

I’ve tried so many times to get my parents to see where I’m coming from, but it’s like talking to a brick wall. They’re just not open-minded about how things work now. Every time I bring something up, they hit me with the “well, when I was …

Getting my boyfriend to pick up his shoes

Literally every day I get home from work and immediately trip over my boyfriend’s shoes. I’ve tried being nice, I bought a shoe rack — everything. But he still just kicks them off right at the door. You’d think such a simple task wouldn’t b…

To get my kid to wear deodorant

So hear me out: my kid is going through puberty right now, and we keep trying different ways to help him remember to use deodorant. I’ve bought it for him, let him pick out his own scent, and even left it right on the sink so it’s directly …

Getting a competent president

Not to bring politics into it, but honestly — am I truly alone in believing that America ought to have the wisdom to elect a president who genuinely prioritizes the well-being of its citizens?

Healing my trauma

I embarked on this self-described “healing journey” around six months ago. You would expect that recognizing my personal traumas and addressing them would be straightforward, yet it feels as though the closer I get to healing, the more deep…

Helping my kids with their homework

Back in my day, I was actually a pretty solid student, and I like to think I’ve kept most of those brain cells intact as an adult. But man, helping my elementary school daughter with her homework has been a total reality check. I thought I’…

To stop at a stop sign

Every single day, I’m out here watching people treat the stop sign in our neighborhood like a suggestion rather than a rule. They just blow right through without even tap-tapping the brakes. It’s not a difficult concept: the sign is there f…

Getting an A on midterms

I’m literally living in the library at this point. I’ve tried every study hack, memorized every formula, and sacrificed my entire social life, but I’m still somehow pulling C’s on every midterm. It’s honestly so draining when you pour your …

Asking for assistance

I got family around here who stay leanin' on me for stuff since their own kids moved way out. I tell 'em straight up, “Just hit me up if you need a hand,” but they can't ever just say it. Instead, they call me up with all these games — eith…

Getting my wife to choose what’s for dinner

Whenever we decide to get takeout or dine out, it turns into a 30-minute ordeal of me listing every single restaurant option before a decision gets made. She tells me to pick, but whenever I suggest 10 places I actually want, she turns them…

Buying a house

My wife and I are purchasing a new home. There are so many steps to the process: the touring, the paperwork, the closing lawyers. It gets a bit overwhelming. I’ve had apartments in the past, and it was just a few pages of paperwork — and ba…

To be kind

Like, you’d think it would be so basic to just be a decent human being. A quick smile, a “hey,” or even just asking how someone’s day is going — it’s literally not that deep. But for some reason, people are just so rude lately. It’s honestl…
