In order to keep the money in the family, Ball declined contracts with Nike and Under Armour to sign with Big Ball Brand, a company founded by his father. The price tag is astronomical compared to the likes of LeBron James and Stephen C...

While photos and videos from the Women’s March may be empowering for us, it arose an antifeminist resistance consisting of “women have enough rights” and “I enjoy leaving a man in charge” — making me realize an unavoidable truth: We don’t need feminism. My Iranian-born grandmother didn’t need fe...

Blue donkeys and red elephants are not just symbols for U.S. political parties — they stand for the division of brothers and sisters, parents and children, and even best friends in a San Francisco all-girls high school. The 2016 presidential election was perhaps one of the most heated, divisive ...

Adults who frequently confront me with anxiety-inducing questions about college often push me to the edge where I often find myself fighting tears.

Cooking and cleaning up from Thanksgiving dinner was complicated for the residents of Flint, Michigan who had to rely on bottled water to cook and clean as they could not access clean, running water.
