This week has been a crazy week to say the least. I completed my last AP test ever on Tuesday only to find myself with a lot more free time than I knew what to do with. Normally I was used to dealing with having too little time–having to cut some extracurriculars and activities in …
Life Updates
With graduation around corner I have had a LOT of time to think about what I want to continue doing in college and how I’m going to keep doing it. I’ve made a lot of goals in high school, many of which were altered and forgotten altogether because I kept changing priorities in the hopes …

Do Audiobooks Count as Reading?
Recently, on Twitter, I have been seeing multiple people ask if audiobooks count as reading. It’s a question that pops up a lot, and I find that fact that we even need to debate this interesting (and a little concerning). Since there seems to be a never ending debate on the subject (at least on …
Spring Writing and Reading Goals
This is not the first time I have set goals for a quarter. If you’ve been following my blogs for the past year, you know that I have not been the best at actually achieving the goals I set. I want that to change, so I’m changing up how I’m going about this. What I’m …
January Reading Wrap Up
5/5 ⭐ This was a great start to the year. Shadow and Flame picks up right where the duology’s first book, Onyx and Ivory left off (and for the sake of spoilers let’s just say it was a pretty large cliffhanger). This book has everything I could possible want in a fantasy: magic, star crossed …
The Line Between Fiction and Reality in Jane Eyre
When I think of a classic novel, I normally think of a drab, novel filled with unnecessarily long descriptions and tiny print you can barely read. I think of the boring books I’ve had to read for English class. I never thought I would enjoy a classic novel until I was introduced to Bronte and …
Using Notion to Organize My Reading & Writing Life
I found out about Notion only a couple of months ago through Youtube. It seemed like everyone was using this program to organize everything from finances to academics so I decided to give it a try. Soon, I began to use Notion for everything too, particularly for organizing my books, blog, and podcast. This week …
Juggling Writing and College Applications
At the start of fall, I had high expectations for my senior year. I knew there would be a lot of schoolwork, but I thought for the most part, I’d be spending my time working on my stories, hanging out with friends, and maybe picking up a few new hobbies along the way. Boy was …
2021 Wrap Up and 2022 Goals
Wow what a year! As I’m writing this, I currently have 95 books towards my Goodreads goal out of 100. Already that is more books than I thought I would read, but I am determined to get to 100 if only to prove that I can handle big goals. Big goals was a huge theme …
