Intermittent fasting has been a “dieting” trend that has made its way up to the Mount Olympus of diets. Today, it sits at its thrown next to Keto, Paleo, Whole30 and other popular diets. From my personal experience, I have found intermittent fasting to be the easiest to implement and maintain compared to other diets.
So, what is intermittent fasting?
For those unfamiliar with intermittent fasting — in a nutshell — you are given a period of time every day in which you can eat whatever you want. For me, I have always done 12 to 8pm and have had pretty good success with it…
Just over a month ago I got sucked into mobile gaming hell when a friend suggested I start playing Raid Shadow Legends with him. Going into it, I assumed after 20 hours of gameplay I would need to start dropping real world cash to progress. To my surprise, there was no need to spend any money to gain a significant advantage.

Chances are, if you are reading this you have been to a sit-down restaurant. And if you have been to a sit-down restaurant, chances are you have left a server a tip. For most of us, tipping is part of the eating out process. In a sense, it embodies who we are; our generosity, wealth, and class can be expressed through something as simple as leaving money on a table. Tipping, as a concept, feels right. Yet, what if I told you it is not your moral or financial responsibility to tip? That in most countries, tipping is not expected…

Anime has been around for decades. Slowly transforming its artwork, themes, and music while continuing to do what it’s always done, touch people on a deeper level than most other forms of entertainment. And over time, it has continued to grow in popularity. New anime lovers are produced every day, but a common theme is a lack of direction in what anime to watch next. Some (most) start off with shows like Death Note or Sword Art Online and then have no idea where to go. Luckily for you, I’ve created a basic list of anime every beginner should watch…

There is no silver bullet that will make the process easy. Like people, dogs have varying personalities, needs…
Why you should consider getting stuck today
Three years ago I started pursuing my masters degree and faced a glaring problem: I had no money. I received $400 a month, free housing, and a small food stipend, but overlooked the fact that I did not make enough to cover my car insurance, phone bill, and groceries for meals that were not provided. On top of this, between working for the university as a graduate assistant and completing homework for my degree, I did not have the time or ability to work a part-time job — especially since my work required 24 hour availability five days a week…
