    So this is actually not what I was going to originally for today, but! I really wanted to make sure that I had plenty of time to watch the last three seasons before I got into them. School and work are hella crazy right now, so I was only able to watch an episode or…

    My sister is a huge musical theater nerd. She actually went to school up in NYC to train and got a degree in vocal performance (opera, specifically), and there isn’t a day that goes by where she doesn’t talk about something related to one of those topics or the other. Then you’ve got me, somebody…

    Honestly, there’s not much difference, quality-wise, between Season 1 and Season 2. The graphics are still terrible, the sets are obviously sets, but I feel like the stories get so much better, with more mature themes and a deeper friendship (and in my opinion, romance, but I’ll get to that on another day) between Xena…

    There’s a lot of nostalgia that comes with rewatching Xena: Warrior Princess, which I guess applies to all television shows that aired prior to 2000 for me, but that’s another discussion for another time. I remember watching these season one episodes the first time as a fourth/fifth grader and thinking that they were all great,…

    So I’m going for full transparency here. I was *thisclose* to postponing this challenge until the break between the summer and fall semesters. Microbio is certainly fun and all – and I’m not saying that sarcastically, either – but it’s a very involved course. God, I can’t imagine what it would have been like if…

    Today’s post is going to be a little text-heavy for “on rotation,” but I feel like there needs to be a little bit more of an explanation to these entries than just making a playlist. Even though the writers had Ben Wyatt (Parks and Rec) say, “I kind of look at it like it’s your…

    I am genuinely excited about becoming a nurse. It’s something I have really wanted to do for a little over 10 years now, but I fought it. For a lot of reasons. One, I didn’t want to become my mother. Granted, she’s not a terrible person to emulate – her confusing continued support of Donald…

    Well, school started yesterday, so I’m in full academic mode. For me, this means I’m looking back at the trip-hop/electronica/house/chill from my youth and going full ham. Seriously, this shit is so good. 1 – “THE SEA” BY MORCHEEBA 2 – “LEBANESE BLONDE” BY THIEVERY CORPORATION 3 – “6 UNDERGROUND” BY SNEAKER PIMPS (NELLEE HOOPER…

    So today is the first day of my second semester officially back in school, and you’d think I’d be used to the concept by now. However? Yeah, that’s not the case. Instead, I had a little bit of an emotional breakdown a couple of days ago. I had something similar happen back in September, when…

    Yes, school starts in, like, four days, but I am 100% ready to do my first 2021 challenge. It’ll give me a nice break from studying microbiology for an hour or so. And instead of rehashing something I did a while ago on my old blog, well, it’s a new year, isn’t it? Shedding 2020’s…
