So, you can imagine my excitement when I found out that a retro soda from the ’80s is finally adding root beer to its…
Who’s your best friend?It’s a deceptively complicated question you’ve probably been asked over the course of your school years, often to measure social worth. Everywhere you look, society continues to reinforce the idea that we should have one: that perfectly mutual, ride-or-die bond like Christina and Meredith’s in Grey’s Anatomy, Blair and Serena’s in Gossip Girl, or even Maya and Anna’s in PEN15.
