When I jumped onto The Sun’s crew about a month ago, I fantasized about the wide range of topics which I could tackle within my first article. Maybe a bit naively, I imagined a stunning debut piece: Would I spend my time writing about modern diets, analyzing their benefits but also their downfalls? Or how about a piece exploring fusion foods and their prevalence in American society? Maybe it could have been as simple as a chef interview. I find myself in a very different place now.

I quickly scrolled back down my newsfeed, brushing off the thought that this had anything to do with me. But then again, a similar ad appeared on my Instagram feed just a couple days ago, once again encouraging me to monetize my eggs.
