This is a really interesting thought, and it's something I don't really think about too often. I love buying gifts for my loved ones. The feeling you get when you found the perfect gift for them, and then you...

While I don't really find much inspiration in this question, I figured I would still answer. After high school, I applied to a whole bunch of schools. From ones in New York City to ones a few hours away. Some I got rejected to, and others I was pleasantly surprised by the fact I was accepted to. In the end,...

Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you?

This is the Bloganuary prompt for day 2. I'm coming in a little late with this post, but I was feeling a bit under the weather this morning. I left work early, and took a really long nap.

The Maine If you're new here, then you don't know about my love for The Maine. It's an alternative band that I've liked since I was 15 (back in 2008-2009). It's kinda cool that the music they continue to release is good as well. I've seen them 3 times (including this time), and I just love them! This concert was...

[contributed] Let’s talk about something we’ve all been guilty of at one point or another - chasing those oh-so-trendy buying habits that everyone seems to be obsessed with. You know what we’re talking about, right? That urge to buy the latest, greatest, and often most expensive thingamajigs just because everyone else is. It’s like a high school popularity contest, but...

While the year is not finished yet, as of November 28th, I have read 92 books. That's pretty good, considering my goal was 85! And while I have...

Happy Fridaze! I'm pretty proud of how consistent I've been posting on here, and it's been fun! I remember when I first started blogging back in late 2016 I was obsessed with the amount of views I got, and while it's still nice to see people are reading your blog, it's just not that important to me anymore. I genuinely...
