With trolls, cancel culture, and the general war-zone that is Twitter, it can sometimes feel dangerous to share an opinion. I remember going to a book reading about conflict in this age and I immediately realize that there's conflict in many of our lives, even if you didn't know.

I've always been a person to write off mean comments on my looks or "my questionable choices", but I've seen that the cruel words of an anonymous troll can turn someone into an argumentative monster. Nowadays, it seems impossible to have a productive conversation on any big issue, especially in the world of social media. However, not for this channel.

Jubilee is a YouTube channel that promotes conversation with so many different shows filled with deep content that honestly can be quite inspiring. One example and the inspiration behind this article is their show called "Middle Ground".

"Middle Ground" is a show where two sides of a specific topic, for example, feminists and non-feminists, will talk around topics and have prompted statements to guide them. They start on opposite sides of the room with a circle in the center. If the prompt applied to them, the person would come and sit in a circle and discuss what that prompt means to them.

The reason why I find this channel and this series so great is because it emphasizes something that seems lost in the world, especially on social media: conversation. Clear conversation, not ones filled with yelling or trying to "win", but actually trying to understand one another. There's something powerful about this type of dialogue, especially coming from polarized sides. Yet in a world where we live in constant competition to have the most likes or the most followers, it's no longer what you're saying, but how many people hear it. There's so much more value in a conversation, a productive communication. That's why I say everyone should check out Jubilee. To be inspired to share and to be inspired to learn.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.
