in my mysterious era
in a little under three weeks, i’ll be moving into my dorms in los angeles and, even though i’ve lived 45 minutes out for a majority of my life, i feel as though my life is about to change. and, with any big change, i’ve cleaned up my socials and dirtied my room. i always…

lit review: midnight sun
to even the most uptight of readers, i will unabashedly claim my love for the twilight series. in many ways, it paved the road for explosively popular teen series. stephenie meyer was fully unaware of the sheer frenzy that would follow upon the publication of the first book in her infamous saga. midnight sun was…

what i’ve been doing during quarantine
this post is really funny to me, because it’s been over four months since i first began to hunker down in my house (and i’m sure you’ve been following a similar timeline). the coronavirus has completely changed my everyday life, but not in all bad ways. i’ve reined in my type a hyper-productivity, nearly forcing…
