Life Update: Spring 2021

Hello! I am back from my brief blogging break to share a life update. I took these past couple weeks off to finish out my semester. I really missed blogging and being creative, but I knew I had to take a break to focus on school without overloading myself. Today I wanted to share a little bit about my life in 2021 so far. It’s been a difficult year and I feel it’s important to talk about the lows sometimes in this blogging/social media world because social media is typically a highlight reel of perfect moments.

Harry Potter and the Curse of 2020

When the pandemic hit the United States in March, I decided it was time to reread the Harry Potter series.
