How to Be a Shipt Shopper
**This is not an ad, nor am I being paid to make this. This is a 100 percent honest review.** Making money is something all of us need to do, and some of us have to take up multiple jobs to avoid living paycheck to paycheck. I took up a delivery job with Shipt, an app where you do groceries for people and deliver them. I thought I'd try it out, and I sent in an application. I loved how extensive it was; it was mostly based around customer service, i.e., how would I respond to an item in the order being out of stock? What if the customer was not home, and I could not get a hold of him or her? It was a written, and also a video-submission, interview, and they got back to me within a week. They also conducted a background check, and functioned as your everyday delivery store company. They mailed my package (a shirt and a card), and when I reached out to customer service to confirm my address, they swiftly checked, responded, informed me of the confirmation, and were very nice and welcoming.

Retired Soldier Denied Benefits for Medical Malpractice
Sgt. 1st Class Barbara Ospina, now retired, is paralyzed and kept to a wheelchair all day due to excruciating pain. What has caused such a thing to happen to this soldier, you may ask? Oh, it's quite simple—she had a spinal surgery in 2004 on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and they left her like this; instead of fixing the issue, they made it worse. She claims medical malpractice and now she went to the DVA (or Department of Veteran Affairs), and has requested payment for the suffering she deals with on a daily basis, and for the government to care for her caregiver that cares for her now. The DVA refused to accept her need for a caregiver, and now she has a lawyer and may be suing for her rights as a Veteran.

Bipolar Disorder
Many of us have heard the word "Bipolar," I believe. It comes from Bipolar Disorder, a Personality Disorder (definition: An ingrained behavior in which the person shows signs of such a thing by the adolescent period of their life; this may affect their relationships and role in society). There are three major Bipolar Disorders I would like to focus on for this chapter: Bipolar I Disorder, Bipolar II Disorder, and Cyclothymic Disorder.

Peter Pan Syndrome/Disorder
I'm pretty sure most of us know who Peter Pan is; the boy who could fly, and was sometimes shown with Tinker Bell at his side, the boy who lived but didn't grow up! Yeah, well that's NOT who i'm going to be writing about. This disorder actually can be related to how Peter Pan lives and who he is.

Eugenia Cooney's Return
We all know the face of Eugenia Cooney most likely-She's a youtube star in her early adult life (age: 24) that lives with her parents, whom her friends have equated her mother to being an awful mother. But since Eugenia has not spoken on this issue and has not outright said that her parents had any hand in worsening her disorder, there's no way to actually tell for sure.

Eating Disorders
Eating Disorders are a big issue and they need to be talked about more; they are shoved under the rug while depression and anxiety are talked about a lot. Depression and anxiety are big issues, but eating disorders are also a huge issue that has rates of incline in the last few years.

Was Michael Jackson a Bad Person?
Michael Jackson was the king of pop music; he died in 2009, but earlier this year, Leaving Neverland was released, a documentary that had interviews with Wade Robson and James Safechuck; they claimed Jackson raped and sexually abused them when they were seven and ten years old, and that the abuse lasted for years. The four-hour long movie was released by HBO, which is currently being sued by Jackson's estate and family.

The Mandala Effect
**THIS IS SIMPLY A THEORY, NOT MEANT TO DEFAME OR INSULT ANY COMPANIES, PEOPLE, COUNTRIES, AND ANY OTHER PARTIES** The Mandala Effect's name comes from Nelson Mandala, who some people incorrectly remember him passing away in prison, but he didn't actually die until he was released and died later on. The Mandala Effect basically means remembering something being one way but instead it's the other way around. Here's a few examples that we can dive into:

'To the Bone'
**warning: contains spoilers** To the Bone is a movie on Netflix about eating disorders, mostly focusing on anorexia nervosa and featuring a few people who suffered from bulimia nervosa. The movie has sparked tons of controversy and people are calling for it to be removed, but this is just my opinion on the movie.

The Manson Family Cult's Downfall
Charles Manson, as seen above, is known to have started a Cult in California that led to almost 35 brutal murders; his cult consisted of runaways and vulnerable people who went into his cult just looking for friends and what they got was a family setting, but they may have gotten more than what they were asking for. In order to break down the family he created, we must look at all aspects of his life.
