Snapchat – The Ceiling Pic Crisis

On July 20 of 2024, I deleted snapchat after 4 years of daily use.

On July 21, I checked my phone at least 50 times to see if someone had snapped me back.

On July 22, I checked 49 times.

One July 23, I turned off my phone.

I did this as an experiment to myself, I said I wasn’t addicted, so what was happening to me? Why was my growing impulse to to receive a snap so strong, and why did I feel so alone when these notifications aren’t rolling in from people i didn’t even talk to in person.

And worst of all, why did I care?

So what are the real effects then, I mean, everyone knows the speel, “it’s bad for you” and “App like those shorten your attention span”

But the real question.

What else?

What about your relationships, loyalty, and inability to put down your phone at the table?

What about 20 years from now, how is your iPhone addiction pushing you closer and closer off the bridge of reality, and a healthy mind.

Chasing slim – The dangers of GLP1 agonists

48% of Americans are obese. This staggering statistic is implied by the fact that there is a McDonald’s approximately every 4 miles of metropolitan areas in the US, making the alluring temptation to get that savory snack hard to resist when the nearest Big Mac lurks just around the corner. Though GLP 1 drugs, such as semaglutide and liraglutide, aren’t as attainable as your nearest Big Mac, over 13 million adults aged 18-64 have been on some configuration of a GLP1, whether it was for its intended use, diabetic control or, the unexpurgated reason of this paper: weight loss. But nevertheless, the question still lingers, “Why wouldn’t we want the use of a drug proven to help the obesity epidemic plaguing America?”

The art of the brain

We are the Lab Rats.

It all began in 2003 with a tiny, pocket-sized device designed to tackle the cigarette crisis. Little did anyone know, this sleek invention would ignite a vaping revolution, and before specialists were able to research and state their opinions about the modern day cigarette,, the hallways were already filled with the lingering scent of blueberry blast.

Today, 1 in 20 Americans vape weekly, and out of this group, nearly 1 in 10 of them are under 24, these numbers are a staggering 21% in 2018 alone. These numbers tell a striking story of youthful influence in our society, and now, in 2024, there is no stopping the pandemic of e cigarettes, leading to the unfortunate truth. We are the lab rats.

One Step Closer to a Free Books, One Step for Mankind

40% of kids in the USA are below reading level, 70% of them come from low income homes where access to books can be limited,

So, what can you do to help?

Start here…

The race with nobody- Pressure on young teens with college applications.

I have spent many hours researching ivy league college application, ones that are out of this world, filled with national awards and record breaking test scores with unbeatable extracurricular.

The fight for the number 1 spot in these application reviews has never been stronger, but with access to the internet, comparison and the drive to push yourself to the absolute limit is as common as it has ever been.

But what about the others?

The people whom don’t get into their dream school. The people who did everything, and still lost the college race.

It can be extremely upsetting when the one thing you have sacrifice everything for falls through your fingers, and even in extreme cases, this sensation can lead to unsupported depression and anxiety relates to feeling of not being enough.

But the question is, what lies deeper than that in the neurological perspective of mental health.

Today, we are deep diving into the extreme pressure of high schoolers to outperform in the modern world, and the slow disaster growing in their mind with each failure and diction.
