Expand the Supreme Court

The Downfall of Anime
As I look through all the new anime releases lately, I keep noticing a disappointing trend. First, it was one, then two, then twenty. There seems to be a wave of medieval fantasy isekai anime being pushed out every couple of months.
The Philosophy Behind Schedules
Schedules. The slip of paper or digital chart that dictates whether you’ll spend time with your friends or not. Now that we’re in high school, we are finally allowed to have a semblance of control over what we learn. High school courses are, evidently, very different from elementary and middle school ones.

Doctors and Surgeons Struggling with Mental Health
Doctors, surgeons, and others in the medical profession are some of the most highly valued careers. They are tasked with managing their operations, passing along possibly devastating information to patients, and saving multiple lives per day.
