If You’re Willing to Pay $1300 for a Course to Teach You How to Text, Put Your Credit Card Down and Read This Instead The desire to learn is one of the best things about people, I think. We seek out knowledge without even noticing what we’re doing, and we’ll often turn to learning when
Introduction There’s sad news in the UK: kitsch, cutesy Paperchase is closing down. The retailer is currently trying to offload lots of stock by giving discounts and sales, including the rather hilarious “buy two, get one free” offer on Valentine’s card. It’s great news for the kids who give them to their mum, granny and
Introduction Do you ever feel like we constantly have to update our lists of rules? Between fashion, etiquette, food and work, there seems to be an unending amount of guidelines to follow, and it’s pretty exhausting. Sometimes, we all need to eat spaghetti bolognese and not wear a bra. Anyone who feels this way might

The holiday period in particular may bring these tensions up, and winter in general isn’t the best time for many people’s mental health. Add an argument about whether saying “happy holidays” or “merry Christmas” is better, and a fair amount of alcohol,
Introduction Online dating. Loved by some, loathed by others. Apps like Tinder, Grindr, Bumble and Zoosk changed the way people meet and relate and moved romance in a very different direction. We might not want to tell our grandchildren that we met online, but if we want to have grandchildren it may be necessary. One
Breakups suck. I remember being dumped at 17 and looking around my college canteen, wondering if anyone had ever been so miserable. All I thought about was my ex and what had gone wrong. Extreme melodrama aside, I think most people will confidently say that they don’t enjoy the tumult of breakups, the awkward “let’s
In September, The Atlantic published an article called “Technology Can Make Your Relationships Shallower”, written by a man called Arthur C Brooks. I think I speak for all of us when I say Okay, Boomer. Brooks starts by citing a study done in 1998 about internet usage in communal living spaces. As someone born in
