The Fastest Way to Level Up in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2

Image
To complete the latest Fortnite Battle Pass, you will need to know how to level up quickly. However, there are many XP methods in the battle royale, with some being much better than others. Here is the fastest way to level up in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2, and how to gain XP as efficiently as possible. Best Way to Get XP in Fortnite Screenshot: Brent Koepp Before you panic, no, Epic Games did not technically nerf XP in the latest Fortnite Showdown season. If you feel that your Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 Battle Pass is going up slowly, that is actually on purpose. At the start of every new season, Epic slows down the rates of experience points. The reason for this is so that players don’t unlock the entire battle pass and bonus content in a single week. XP rates are gradually raised up as the season goes on. However, some players may want to complete their battle pass as soon as possible so they can get access to those sweet Bonus Rewards skins. Screenshot: Brent Koepp ...

3 Whimsical Fantasy Books With Low Stakes and High Charm

3 Books for 30-Somethings Who Feel Behind in Life (You’re Not, by the Way)

You know what they say: your 20s are for making mistakes. This brutal yet somehow still fun-loving decade teaches us some of the most difficult lessons . Most 20-somethings find comfort in the idea that “Now is the time to screw up!” Often, this makes becoming a 30-something feel like the ultimate wake-up call. If our 20s are for experimenting and learning, our 30s are for finding more solid grounding. But if you’re not where you thought you’d be by this age, you might struggle with comparison or even isolation from those around you. Of course, I like to think that 30 is still young, and we never really stop growing. But if you’re feeling the pressure from society to “settle down” or “get your sh-t together,” well, you’re certainly not alone.  Here are three books for 30-somethings who feel behind in life. 1. The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle is a gentle, grounding self-help/spirituality book that highlig...

Weekly Horoscope: March 22-March 28

Everybody’s a little more impressionable than they’d like to admit right now. The Sun meets Neptune, so fantasy, projection, and wishful thinking are dressed up and trying to pass as fact. Then Saturn steps in and asks what can actually hold up once the mood wears off. In the middle of that push-pull, stargazer, we’re all getting a better look at where we’ve been romanticizing people, situations, and our own bad ideas. Cute, until reality starts asking follow-up questions. A Half Moon in Cancer brings the emotional check-in nobody can dodge forever, while Pluto adds weight to the conversations and choices that have been sitting in limbo. Uranus keeps the week restless enough to prevent anybody from sleepwalking through it. This isn’t a soft-focus stretch of astrology. It’s honest, a little raw, and surprisingly useful. The truth may arrive dressed up, with a suspect alibi and excellent timing, but it still arrives. How will your sign fare this week? Aries: March 21 – April 19 You ...
