Infirst grade I wanted to be a princess, in the third a pop-star, and in the fifth a baker. Then I landed on heart surgeon during the summer before grade eight. I also played with dolls maybe a little longer than I may be willing to admit, but I will assure you that my three storey Barbie house was out of my room before high school started.

However, sometimes that inspiration led to confusion. From about grade seven to nine I had my heart set on working in the medical field, mostly due to my deep obsession with Greys Anatomy at the time. By 10th grade, I was well into Love Island and was convinced I was destined for reality television fame, not the operating room.


Analysis from this study identified that those with ADHD in adulthood are often misunderstood in workplaces, largely due to a lack of research and available accommodations for ADHD. The study also suggests that the majority of research to this date has only focused on negative traits of ADHDers and their functionality.


When I started my journalism studies shortly after my diagnosis I was finally able to see how my ADHD would allow me to commit to one career, while still being able to deep dive into my ever-evolving interests.

This call for papers is seeking articles on the role and impact of Barbie in popular culture, from her inception by Ruth Handler in 1959 to the 2023 film release. We are happy to accept papers on any topic relating to Barbie, but here are some ideas to inspire you:


Prospective contributors should email an abstract of 100-250 words and a brief biography to the issue editors. Abstracts should include the article title and should describe your research question, approach, and argument. Biographies should be about three sentences (maximum 75 words) and should include your institutional affiliation and research interests. Articles should be 3000 words (plus bibliography). All articles will be double-blind refereed and must adhere to MLA style (6th edition).


However, land can also imply the aircraft or ship returning us home from a journey, delivering us to work, or escaping to another experience. We may land on a great idea, finally make that important decision, or simply drop down beside a friend on the couch. A landing may be planned or an immediate, impulsive decision. To land upon something may give great joy or deliver significant tragedy. People land on a distant shore, planet, or far-flung island with the result being innovation, new experience, or potentially contagion, destruction, and violence.


We invite submissions to this issue of M/C Journal that investigate the contemporary understanding of land and landing. Authors are encouraged to explore beyond the interpretation of land as the quarter-acre block with a garage.


Exploring the artificial is also commonplace across popular culture, from films like The Matrix and Blade Runner to fiction novels like Klara and the Sun, to the virtual and augmented realities common in gaming. The application of the artificial, then, is far-reaching, penetrating broadly. In view of these considerations, this issue seeks to explore the broad and multifaceted concept of the artificial, examining its essence, its manifestations across different domains, and its implications for society, intelligence, culture, ethics, media, and the environment.


I wanted to strengthen my walk with the Lord as I enjoyed the miles of quiet solitude as I traversed the forest. I also wanted to share my Faith in love with those who wanted to hear about my experiences.


My journal entries were meant to enlighten the readers to the paths of the trail as well as the people who trekked along with me. I wished to be myself as much as my limited writing abilities would allow.


As soon as we finished the hike, our plans were impacted by Covid. At the Ranger station at the base of the final decent, everyone was being tested for the virus. It was due to the outbreak at Shaws Hostel back in Monson, ME. Backwoods and I tested negative, but other hikers were positive. We had to change or plans of where to stay.


That night, I awoke with a bathroom urge. As I began my motion to the hotel bathroom, I felt a sharp pain in my left ankle. I had to grab furniture and use the wall for support to make it. Once the light was on, I saw my problem. My ankle was twice the normal size. I could not walk on it. I literally physically collapsed at the finish line of the trail. My ankle had not given me any trouble at all since I twisted it in my scary fall in Mahoosuc Notch, over 300 hundred miles back. But now, it was toast.


My hiking mentor, Shock Top, told me about how hard the post hike pain would be. I did not believe her fully when she said for the first 6 weeks, she could not get off the couch, because of the aches. Wow, was she right!


We met 2 fellow Kentucky AT hikers, Birdie & Starburst, last week at Red River Gorge. They finished a few weeks before me. As we talked, we realized they had hiked with Steak. Steak was one of the first hikers I had befriended on the trail. I sent him a selfie of us 3 together.


What a glorious gift was handed to me by God Almighty. I did not deserve this life changing adventure, but I will be ever grateful. Thank you from the depths of my soul for following and walking with me.


Step into a world of pink and playfulness as we embarked on a whimsical adventure at the Malibu Barbie Caf in Chicago. We were not only captivated by the vibrant atmosphere but I was armed with my limited edition Barbie journal from Five Below, where I was determined to document every moment of this extraordinary experience.


Once we arrived, I walked in to check in and was told to hang out outside in line and we would be let in a little closer to time. It was no big deal since we arrived about 10 minutes earlier than our assigned time. As we waited, I snapped a few photos of the cafe outside and caught such a gorgeous photo of my mom and daughter.


When my name was called, we stepped through the doors of the Malibu Barbie Caf and were greeted by a stunning pink paradise. From the carefully curated dcor to the Barbie-inspired menu items, every detail exuded the essence of the iconic doll. The excitement was palpable as we settled into our table, ready to embark on a memorable experience.


Not to mention, I brought the pink camera and the Barbie journal to be used as a faithful companion, allowing me to jot down our thoughts, place mementos such as the menu inside, and attach Polaroid snapshots of the magical moments we encountered. None of that happened. My heart still aches from the unfulfilled potential.

Stress is something that literally everyone experiences. Stress is just one of those natural human emotions that comes and goes sometimes. I would say I do tend to get stress at little things easily but I am slowly getting better at being at ease and controlling them through meditation and this little gem I'm going to talk about.


The week before my birthday I was feeling stressed and anxious and all over the place because of some small health issues. I talked to all of my friends, family about it. Using Headspace (a meditation app) a lot more than usual - once in the morning. Meditation helped but I was still stressing. My boyfriend had decided to give me my birthday present early to help cope with my stress. This gem is called The 5-Minute Journal


So What is The 5-Minute Journal? "The 5-minute Journal aims to let you live a more mindful, focused life." With a format based on positive psychology research, you spend 5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes at night before you sleep (usually I spend longer than 5 minutes) journaling. In the morning, you write down things you are grateful for, what would make the day great and daily affirmations for yourself. At night, you write down 3 amazing things that happened and how the day could be better.


Verdict: I have been using the journal for 20 days now and it has done wonder. Sometimes I focus too much on the negative, I forget to focus and give value to all the amazing things that have happened or happening in life. There are so many things to be grateful for and being able to acknowledge that on a daily basis changed the way I treat and connect with people and myself. I would set myself mini goals and days where I would treat myself with a nice cookie or a cup of coffee. I would remind myself to be more confident...things like that and reflect at the end of the day on how I can do better.
