Spoilers, kind of. Maybe don't read if you haven't finished the episode. Since House of the Dragon ended, my Sunday nights have been pretty dry television-wise. Desperate to find something, anything, to watch, I put The Last of Us on my TBW (To Be Watched) list for one reason, and one reason only: Pedro Pascal.… Continue reading The Last of Us S1E1- Thoughts and Reactions

Is It Me? Am I the Drama?
A wise philosopher once said, "It ain't nun to cut that bitch off." Snip, snip, h*e (if you know, you know). And one thing about me, I will cut someone out of my life with the quickness. Unfollow, mute, block, the whole nine yards. Your instagram, twitter, phone number, Facebook, even ya mama's Facebook if… Continue reading Is It Me? Am I the Drama?
Growth vs. Ease: Making the Choice
“One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.” Abraham Maslow I had a thought at work last week that stopped me in my tracks: staying at my job would be easy. This was an incredibly unsettling realization… Continue reading Growth vs. Ease: Making the Choice

House of the Dragon
THRONES, Y'ALL! I'm not going to lie, after the shitshow that was Game of Thrones' final season I lost a LOT of interest in the goings on of Westeros, so when I found out HBO was going to put more money into the franchise with a spinoff, I was spitefully uninterested and didn't for a… Continue reading House of the Dragon

The Cellar
Shoutout to COVID-19 for keeping me in the house and forcing me to pay attention to my blog again! #socialdistancing Knowing I'd be stuck in the house for a little while now that classes are cancelled and I'm working remotely, I decided to pick up another book to keep me busy/sane. In the naming of… Continue reading The Cellar
calm the f*ck down.
Just take a pause. And breathe. My 2019 was a year full of doubt. Doubt in my abilities to succeed in grad school, doubt in whether or not I even wanted the career I've been working so hard for, for the past... I don't even want to think about how long I've been working for… Continue reading calm the f*ck down.
