What I Plan to Read in 2025
Hi All, here is the list of book I am planning on reading in 2025. Some of these I borrowed or even began in 2024 but didn’t finish. Others a recommendations from friends, or books that are still on hold at the library! The list isn’t in any particular order. 1.) The Name of the…
What I Read in 2024
Hi all, welcome to What I Read in 2024. I didn’t do monthly breakdowns this year, but I thought it would still be worthwhile to share what I read this year. However, because it’s a lot, I told myself I didn’t have to put in the cover photos, because that’s a lot of formatting work.…
What I Read in December 2023
(Much less than usual as I watched A LOT of Drag Race!!) Hi all, I hope everyone is enjoying the last few days of the year! It’s time for me to share what I’ve read in December, so here goes! P.S. I did start many books that I didn’t finish, so this may be a…
Holiday Gift Guide for an early Twenty-Something
Hi Everyone! It’s that time of year where people ask you want you want for Christmas or Hanukkah, or when you are looking for something to get your friends or family, or when you are in Secret Santa and need to provide a list of things you may like. Being a twenty-something on both sides…
What I Read in October + November
First of all, I would like to apologize for not posting what I read in October! I thought I had for some reason, but then when I was looking for it, turns out I never made it further than a draft! So two months at once, let’s go! October: 1.) A Fate of Wrath and…
What I Actually Read in September 2023!
Hi all, happy October! I hope everyone is enjoying the fall atmosphere! First off, this is a few days into October, so my apologies. Also, because I read so much in September, I’ve decided to post my October reading list separately. Now without further ado: From my September reading list, I read two of the…
September Reading List + What I Actually Read in August
Hello everyone, it’s the end of August, which means it’s time for a reading wrap-up! Out of the books on August reading list, I hit 4 of the 9 bullets, and I read one book that wasn’t technically on the list which comes to 14 books! Up first I read Our Violent Ends, which didn’t…
August Reading List + What I Actually Read in July
Hey Squad, the end of July means I can tell y’all how I barely read this month, and what I am planning on reading in August, which will hopefully be more productive as I am lucky enough to be going to the beach on vacation, where I will have lots of time to read! From…
Nightlight
The hour of witching is interrupted by the small light at the wall across by the foot of my bed. The nightlight catches me by surprise, as it throws my room into relief, and makes the world seem more vivacious than the usual knocked out darkness which implies that I should have been asleep long…
Unseem
It’s a blackbird kind of day. The sun feels like limes and salt, and it makes me a little crazy. I want to be a prairie girl, or a shy artist in a seaside cottage, or a spoiled ‘princess’ in the south of France. I want to take a bite out of every apple in…

HOW BC IS PLANNING ON REOPENING IN THE TIME OF COVID-19
I’m guessing at this point in time, almost all of you have dealt with Covid-19 in regards to work or school, so I thought I’d offer what my school is doing to balance safety with college life. After what I assume is much debate, Boston College is allowing in-person classes and is allowing students to…
MY SEPTEMBER 2020 READING LIST
It’s about that time when school starts up again, and summer reading is forgotten. At least for me, it’s a lot harder to find time to read during the school year, but good news: all my books that I wanted to read this summer just arrived! By this I mean either on a library app,…
MY OPINION ON: THERAPY
In short, my opinion on therapy is thus: everyone should go to therapy. In reality, I know that some people do not have the time or money to go, but I think that everyone would benefit from it. Many people think that they shouldn’t go to therapy unless they have a severe reason to. While…
What I Watched the Week of August 9th, 2020
During the last few weeks of July and the beginning of August, my Mom and I have started watching the show Down to Earth together! Due to our schedules, we have only watched three episodes, but we have been recommending the show left and right, so I thought I would write about it! For those…
THE EYELASH CURLER: MY ULTIMATE WEAPON
’nuff said! Just kidding, but I do mean it when I say that an eyelash curler has a lot of power to it! I started curling my eyelashes in 9th grade, and I immediately got compliments, which have not stopped coming! For one, curled eyelashes make you look more awake, which is always useful. I…
MY CONSIGNMENT SHOP INTERNSHIP
Hey everyone! As I mentioned in a What I Listened To the other week, I recently got an internship at a pop-up consignment shop near me. You see, I really like thrifting and consignment shopping, so my Mom knew to send me an article about the pop-up shop (called Ari’s Closet) coming to us. That…
WHAT’S IN MY WALLET
For anyone that knows me, they know that I always carry around a small pouch in addition to my phone, just in case. That just in case is for small issues, like needing an allergy pill, a USB cord, or a pair of scissors, as it is always good to be prepared. It is important…
WHAT’S IN MY BEACH BAG + WHAT I BRING TO THE BEACH
Aloha! Or as the Massachusetts folk say, hi! Currently, I am on vacation with my family at the beach in Massachusetts, and I wanted to write something! I had planned on doing a what’s in my wallet piece, but it’s a bit windy on the beach, so I figured that wasn’t the best idea. But……
What I Listened to the Week of July 25th, 2020
My playlist for this week was the playlist I listened to at my consignment shop internship. At work, my boss put on a Pandora radio station with alternative vibes, and at the beginning, I only knew one song. However, after seven days of the same songs, I really liked a lot of them, and tried…
What I Listened to the Week of July 19th, 2020
I will admit, I listened to two songs on repeat this entire week, and I didn’t even listen to the full songs. These two songs are 1.) Alexander Hamilton, and 2.) My Shot, both from the Hamilton Soundtrack. I listened to the first minute and 19 seconds of Alexander Hamilton, and the first minute and…

But now the school year is approaching, and you don’t know whether or not you should bring a full-size vacuum, who is responsible for the Keurig, or if you should bring your whole mug collection. Worry not, with this guide on how to manage moving into a suite,…
