"Gossip separates the best of friends." Most of us associate gossip with a malicious intention to enjoy relaying negative information about someone (Beersma & Van Kleep, 2012). However, in scientific literature, gossip is often defined differently.. What should we believe, and should we control our urge to “gossip”?

There is no question that this period of time has been one of the most difficult and challenging periods that we have ever experienced. Every aspect of our lives has been impacted. While it may be difficult to find a silver lining in all of this, I think getting to know my friends on a deeper level has been one of the most beneficial aspects of having this shared challenge.
