- Something better, something beautiful (my ’21 & ’22 music playlists)If you’ve been following my blog/work for a long time, you may remember that I used to be very into making mix CDs.

I was reeeally into making mixes in college and for years after I’d make themed mix CDs for occasions.
- March Around the World movie challenge!Throughout March I played along with this Letterboxd movie challenge called March Around the World, and I got really into it!

- My 2023 wrap up… making & doingI’ve thought of 2023 as Senior Year of the pandemic. Not because there’s any graduation or ending in sight, just because it was the fourth year, and I feel like we’ve all grown and changed so much since 2020, or Freshman Year. 2023 was a bit rough—it’s the year IContinue reading “My 2023 wrap up… making & doing”
