SOCIAL MEDIA by Elena Greco An awful lot of us have trouble with social media. We spend an inordinate amount of time surfing and scrolling. We can’t seem to stop using it, even when we want to, even after we’ve declared we’re done with it. Why? Because the tech companies who bring you these products design them that way! Their…

Religion: Who Needs It? by Elena Greco August 30, 2016 I’m going to have to say something once again that I know will not be very popular. It’s about this religion thing.
