So, the year has come to an end. To me, it seems like just yesterday we were bidding farewell to 2019 and shooing in the top of 2020 with the ever-concurrent displays of fireworks and ball drops. To others, perhaps yourself, this year was the most long-winded chapter of their lives, thus far. Barel…

*DISCLAIMER*: 1) I try not discuss politically charged topics on the blog because I know they can be incredibly polarizing and I want to keep this space as light-hearted as possible, but this was something I wanted to respond to 2) I don't claim to be a particularly good writer, but this may be…

Summer is here, people! Every year, the commencement of summer brings me an unrivaled joy that only summer brings. The (mostly) beautiful weather, no school/work, and the freedom to do nothing for as long as possible are just a few reasons I love summer. That lattermost one being the most attracti…

So, another year has flown by. Strangely, 2018 has, simultaneously, been both uneventful and the most stressful year of my life. What with school, the uncertainty of my future, and the lack of motivation to do much of anything save for watching tv shows and Youtube videos. Instead of rehashing the…

Because I watched Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, a good ten days after it's nation-wide release, I was exposed to a string of articles and videos whose titles implied that the film was not the spectacular film I anticipated it was going to be. As a result, I was a little less excited about what I might see. In hindsight though, if The Last Jedi was any indication, I should have known better than to let them influence my pre-viewing thoughts. But this I was waiting for this movie for two years and I wasn't going to make any judgments until after I saw the movie.

I'm not a fan of scary stories so I try to make a point of avoiding the genre of horror in both books and on screen. They creep me out and hinder my ability to smoothly function throughout the day...and night. After watching a scary movie, you'll probably find me creeping corners, looking …

While I'm not proud of all of my country's most recent as well as past indiscretions (to put it mildly), I am proud to be American. So, in celebration of Independence Day, I thought that I would compile a list of some of my favorite classical and contemporary American authors. Albeit, it&#…

Happy New Year, everyone! This post is certainly late, as we are already a few days into 2018, but I felt I had to publish it anyway. 2017 was a terrible reading year for me, I read less than twenty books. That's ridiculous! I pledge to read at least thirty books by the end of 2018. I've a…

In an attempt to satiate the fans of Game of Thrones, HBO created a series that matches it in quality and shock factor, and boy, did they deliver. Admittedly, when I started the series, I found it to be original, but moderately tiresome. But, it was only the first two episodes that elicited this n…

For some 2016 was a horrendous year of tragedy, for others (most likely supporters of the Trump administration) it was fine and dandy. But since we choose (for the most part) not to discuss the politics of the world on this blog, I decided that instead on general reflection of the 2016, I would pu…
