Ultra Music Festival is one of the most ridiculous music festivals one can encounter. It’s like a rite of passage for newb EDMers and Miami residents alike. I had my first raver experience there when I was still in high school, back when it was only a one day thing. Since then,...

The American Dream – twisted, broken and bloody as it is – tells us home-ownership is one of the peak experiences of human life. We grow up imagining our “dream home” and how wonderful it will be to furnish it exactly how we’d like it. Mine comes with an...

What they say is true, waking up is hard to do – but it doesn’t have to be that way. Take my story for instance. My body naturally sleeps about 12 hours a day, and it really gets depressing waking up to three hours of sun. I’m used to setting three alarms at a time of the...
