Making friends off of the playground (feelings – sorry)
Dear Alex, It’s been a confusing past number of months. As you know I started a job, and it’s been a rollercoaster of emotions every other day.

The Confusing Reality of Adulthood
So originally I was gonna write about the history of Valentines Day (happy Valentines Day) but I ended up getting sucked into my finances and future plans.

A Post With No Point.

A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes: Twisting Perspectives in the Prequel to The Hunger Games Trilogy
Dear Lucia, Recently I was in a bit of a reading rut and couldn’t bring myself to enter a whole new world, but at the same time I didn’t want to read a story I had previously read.
