I’ve been trying to set up a camping trip for weeks. I’ve wanted to go for so long, but things keep popping up. How do I get the push to just go

Getting Over Overthinking
Is it just me or have some of you found periods in your life where you’ve gotten into this habit of overthinking things? I find that this mostly happens to me at particularly stressful times. I find that I try to almost forensically pick apart a problem or a situation but get nowhere near a […]

Review: The Heart’s Invisible Furies
John Boyne’s The Heart’s Invisible Furies opens in 1945 in the small, conservative village of Goleen in west Cork, Ireland. Instead of a nostalgic introduction to Boyne’s homeland of sweeping cliffs and vibrant greenery, the novel begins inside a church where Father James Monroe denounces pregnant 16-year-old Catherine Goggin as a whore, before banishing her […]
Is Apple’s ‘The Morning Show’ Any Good?
The Morning Show is Apple’s first foray into original TV content and, thus, has a lot of hype to live up to. It stars A++ list celebrities Jennifer Anniston (in her first TV role since Friends) and Reese Witherspoon (backing up from the triumphant Big Little Lies). Steve Carrel also plays a Matt Lauer-esque morning […]
