  • Ethical Will

    One of my favorite assignments I have ever done in college was writing an ethical will for my intro to ethics class back in 2017. An ethical will is like a standard will but instead of leaving material possessions behind, you leave behind moral and ethical values. I highly encourage you all write one, as…

  • What Englishes do you Speak?

    “How can you fail English class? You speak the language!” For anyone who hasn’t heard this subpar joke, it is something often said in response to a native English speaker who admits to failing an English course.

  • Welcome to Cosmic Latte!

    Thank you for stopping by; your time is appreciated! Consider this blog a personal journal of mine which I will be using to write down some of my thoughts. By nature, I am a very introverted person so sharing personal thoughts this open for the world to see is rather nerve-racking. However, I really like…
