So, I Changed My Pen Name

I can explain — I made mistakes in the beginning. I thought if I told family and friends from Day 1 about my writing, they’d be all for it. I thought I’d be writing forever and not need to worry about looking for a job because I’d get successful quickly. …

The Northeast Better Take Out Their Masks Again

Take it from someone who used to live in Beijing — This week is giving me some Beijing flashbacks! I’m checking the weather for an AQI reading, I’m looking through my mask supply to see if I need more, and I’m starting to wonder if I need an air purifier at the house. So far, the AQI hasn’t been bad enough…

I’ll Never Volunteer My Seat Again

Thanks for the weekend from hell, Spirit Airlines — As the title points out, Spirit Airlines sucks. The company almost ruined my California trip, and they got away with lying to the Better Business Bureau. Before I begin I’ll warn you. This story might have some parts in it that are difficult to read for non-solo travelers. Don’t worry…

The Best Books Read In May 2023

A time to relax before the storm — The school year is winding down, and so is my list of things to do, for now. And I’m taking full advantage before I jump into Grad School. Of course, my way of relaxing is getting into some books! In May, I read 8 books, saving $200 from using the…

The Next Time I Go To Los Angeles, I’m Downloading These Apps

They’ll save me the hassle and headache — This Spring Break proved an experienced traveler like me needs traveling lessons too. I had a blast in California, but I learned some lessons about researching where to stay. I also learned I need to do a better job of researching helpful apps while I explore different places. I got…

The April Book Club Read Of The Month

“Maybe You Should Talk To Someone” By Lori Gottilieb — Picture it. You’re in a part of your life where you’re stagnant. You don’t have a good choice to make, but you can’t stay in the situation you’re in. It’s time to see a therapist. But what if you found out something about your therapist? What if you found out…

Can We Stop Pressuring Each Other To Monetize Our Hobbies?

It makes us not want to do them anymore — “What’s the point in doing it when you’re not getting paid for it?” I’m not a violent person, but if someone asks me this question, it’s hard to not punch them in the throat. Think about it. How would you feel if you had a hobby you loved and talked…

The Best Books I Read In April 2023

A nice time to relax and read — Half the time, April rained. Half the time, I’m trying too hard to cool off because it’s so hot at night. But it’s too cold to turn the heat off. The only thing I could do was read. It’s a good thing Michigan takes forever to warm up! I read…

March 2023 Book Club Pick Of The Month

“100 Years of Lenni and Margot” by Marianne Cronin — Due to my commitment to my community theater group, I couldn’t go to Book Club this month. It doesn’t mean I’m skipping out on this month. It means I don’t have the luxury of knowing what my fellow bookworms thought as they read this beautiful story. What Is The Story About? Lenni is a seventeen-year-old…

The Best Books I Read In March 2023

I’m going back to slowing down — I’ll be honest. Between play rehearsals, getting Grad School set up, working, and finding a teaching placement, I’m surprised I found time to read. I spent most of the month feeling too exhausted to try. But you know what? I found time to read. Somehow, I found time to read…
