The difference between British and American humour

It has been said that Britain and America are two nations that are divided by the same language, and I think that is also true of their humour. Their types of humour are quite different, but I can’t say how exactly. Thus, I decided to some research and write a post about the difference between British and American humour.

Cheesy love

I’ve been reading a couple of my old blog posts about love (from my previous blog). Most of them are a couple of years old, and damn, they are so pessimistic. I especially hated Valentine’s Day. What happened in the meantime? Well, I fell in love – hard. Now I’m

Why do people love playing video games?

Why do people love playing video games?

It’s lockdown here in South Africa, and we all deal with it in different ways. Many people are baking banana bread, I personally haven’t baked much of anything, although I have been eating like a crazy person. During this difficult time, I have turned to computer games. My boyfriend is a gamer and he’s been trying to get me to play games for the longest time. It only took a world-wide pandemic for me to give it a try - what do you know? So, my question is, why do people love playing videogames, what is the psychology behind it?

How do women in sport deal with periods?

How do women in sports deal with periods?

I do karate and let me tell you, once a month I am very concerned that I might get a crimson spot on that white karate suit. I don’t do the sport professionally, so the discomfort that I feel is only for about 3 – 4 hours that week. However, I cannot imagine what it feels like to be a professional sportswoman and have to deal with periods while competing. So, I did a bit of research on how women in sports deal with periods and I guess I wasn’t too surprised.
