In academia today, many professors and teachers face the gargantuan question of how to deal with AI in the classroom. Many students use it, often unethically, to replace their own efforts. However, instead of replacing hard work, it can serve as an effective tutor—one that helps clarify complex ideas, break down dense topics, and refine study techniques. Use AI to Review Your Work and Explain Mistakes Often, you might take a quiz or exam, get a grade, and have little to no explanation as to why something is wrong. Similarly, you might have a high-stakes homework assignment that you performed…

Aside from the low inventory of spaces, visitors looking to drive in must contend with obstacles from King Tide flooding to shady tow companies, elusive residential zones and pedestrian-only areas. But it’s all worth it once you finally dip a toe in. Parking in Miami Beach? Let’s start with the basics: Arrive as early as possible, avoid the congested streets closest to the ocean and…

I don’t like listening to other people’s playlists because most of the time, they aren’t curated for me. At worst, I find that they result in me getting distracted. Albums, on the other hand, give me a much better return on investment; here’s why.

I would make a terrible vampire. As the days grow shorter and the inevitable clock change looms, I turn into a glum, shuffling mess. While the rest of the country celebrates an extra hour of sleep, I mourn hours of usable daylight that are about to vanish for five long months.

On any given day you could, for example, find me jumping into a pile of sofa cushions from the highest step I dared to leap from (not recommended), or concocting vile potions by mixing anything in the kitchen cupboards I could get my hands on.

Adventure and wonder were around every corner, but somewhere along the way, I’ve lost both. And I miss them. Naturally, part of this is…
