As it turns out, Ariana Grande was the one with BDE the entire time. But because she lacks the D, it's been rebranded to "thank u, next."
Column: I’m feeling inspirational
I have researched these methods and they do, in fact, work. They are not at all stolen from every other teen advice article I’ve read online.

I look expectantly at the Genius Bar employee surveying my phone. He looks uncomfortable. Another drop of water rolls down my face. As I go to wipe it away, still confused about where this water is coming from, several more drops fall down my cheek. It takes me another second to realize what’s happening. I’m crying.
Column: The future is the past
Flying cars, talking jackets and hover-boards for every household? Boy, would Marty McFly be upset to find we failed to match his portrayal of the 21st century. In fact, his 80s-inspired outfits in the film are most representative of America today.
