In the midst of a pitch-black night, illuminated only by the neon lights of club signs and car headlights, an individual lay unconscious on the ground, covered in vomit. The bystander effect, as defined, relates to the influence of others’ presence on an individual’s willingness to assist someone in need.

WHAT ARE YOU CONSUMING?
Studying psychology, I learn a lot about biases. A bias, according to Merriam Webster, is an inclination of temperament or outlook, especially a personal and sometimes unreasoned judgement. Biases have an incredibly strong effect on the way we view the world.

MEALS TO KEEP YOU HEALTHY AND HAPPY
Nothing feels like home more than a meal cooked by mom. From a young age, I have held a keen understanding of the way food conveys feeling.

In 2019, I made the choice to download the up-and-coming app TikTok. Like its antecedent Musical.ly, I assumed TikTok would be another entertaining pastime that would provide a creative outlet and area to explore a new online community. And for a time, that is exactly what it was. 2019 was a year I consider toContinue reading “WHY I DELETED TIKTOK”
YOU ARE A WHOLE, NOT A PART
The world works in strange and often illogical ways. One of these ways is the concept of grouping. In our more primitive times, humans naturally looked at the world in groups; some grouped together to hunt, some grouped together to guard the dwelling. People were grouped based on their skill sets and capabilities. As societyContinue reading “YOU ARE A WHOLE, NOT A PART”
THE IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY
As we enter into the month of November, I anticipate that the goals of each of my readers will include finding greater gratitude in the pleasures of daily life. One thing I often notice teenagers taking for granted is the importance of family and the values that it has instilled in them. Oftentimes, teenagers haveContinue reading “THE IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY”
