3 terms to know in 2024!

Tutor Tyra

In 2023 I heard a lot of words that we often don't use on an everyday basis (at least for me), so I thought that I'd write about these words, learn what they mean, and how to use them in a sentence.

1. Side hustle- any type of job you take or start aside from your full-time job. 
I needed a little bit of extra cash, so I started a side hustle.

2. Gaslighting- to manipulate someone and have them question their sanity.
His therapist kept gaslighting him into thinking he was going crazy so he could keep taking sessions!

3. Cringe- having an inside feeling of embarrassment and awkwardness.
His actions at the dinner party last night made me cringe.
