I've said this many times before I consider myself to be an avid reader. There are a few books that I'd love to add to my personal library but these are all by famous people. A lot of people say that celebrity books aren't the best but I have a list of quality books that I think will be an interesting read. All of these books detail experiences from the author's life. I think that all of the authors were very vulnerable in what they shared within these pages. Although I haven't read the books I have thumbed through some pages of these books and read reviews and also seen them talk about their books. The Last Black Unicorn by Tiffany Haddish "Tiffany can’t avoid being funny—it’s just who she is, whether she’s plotting shocking, jaw-dropping revenge on an ex-boyfriend or learning how to handle her newfound fame despite still having a broke person’s mind-set. Finally poised to become a household name, she recounts with heart and humor how she came fro...

January is almost over, it seems like only yesterday was the start of the year. It's interesting how fast and simultaneously slow time seems to pass. This Thursday I want to be very candid with my thoughts and talk about something that has been on my mind lately... I am no longer attending college. As of right now I am taking a semester off of school because this last semester was pretty rough. I suffer from anxiety and depression something that I didn't realize I had until I went to college and I was in an environment where I had to deal with it myself. Understanding these mental illnesses and how they affected me while I  was in school was very difficult just because I was trying to be a student but I had these things that didn't allow me to function properly. In any case, I thought it best to take a break from school. That being said, my initial feeling after making my decision was failure. I was overwhelmed with thoughts of how people would perceive me since ...

It seems like people really enjoy sharing their lives online for the world to see. With social media, it is so easy to post a picture or video of yourself that could potentially reach millions of people. In many respects, I am astonished by the wonders of the Internet and the way that you are able to connect with people across the world that you may not otherwise have been able to interact with. Also, social media is great at connecting people and keeping in touch with people that you may not see that often. Since I graduated high school there are many people that I keep in touch with through social media since I don't get to see them every day. It's great getting to log into an app and see what everyone's up to but there are definitely faults in social media. Personally, I think that social media has evolved into a superficial practice. These days it seems like everyone is trying to show off their lavish life or all the exciting things they do every week. I usuall...

Hello World! In the 4 years I've been writing on this blog I don't think that I've ever posted a picture of my face on here. The fact that I've had this blog for this long is amazing to me but I think this is the year that I am going to find my voice and create some posts that are interesting to me and hopefully to anyone reading. First off I want to talk about the origin of my blog. Once upon a time, I wanted to be a fashion designer and live in New York City and have my own line of clothes. But after a talk with extended family members telling me that a career in fashion design was competitive and difficult I changed my aspirations to that of a fashion journalist - still living in NYC of course but I'd be working for a big fashion magazine. Then came high school and I settled for a career in journalism and those are the courses that I've been taking in college. On July 3rd, 2014 I decided that I wanted to start putting my own work out into the world...

Do you ever read a book and wish that a film studio picked it up to make it a movie? Or, have you ever watched a movie and found out that it was a book? Well, we've all been there and this year I wanted to start writing about it! I consider myself to be an avid reader and film watcher, so why not combine both of the things that I love to do? Plot Overview Ella of Frell is a girl from a land of fairies, ogres, and giants. In this land, all newborn babies are given a gift from a fairy godmother (much like the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale). But Ella's fairy godmother gives her the gift of obedience, which may seem like a gift but its more like a curse. Throughout the story Ella is trying to break the spell while traveling all over the land fighting ogres, finding princes and sneaking around her stepsisters. Book The book that started it all was written by Gail Carson Levine and published in 1997. Intended for young teens this was a fairytale story that had notes of S...

This year has started off very similar to the years before it, full of hope and empty resolutions. At the beginning of each year, I am very optimistic about setting goals and resolutions. I try to be persistent in completing them but to be honest, after January there isn't much momentum left to continue pursuing these expectations. The problem isn't setting up a goal, its the completion of it or rather the lack of accountability to attain them. One I first started making resolutions I would think of outlandish things like exercising and eating healthy. The Lord knows I haven't seen the inside of a gym in months and the only healthy thing my body knows about is lettuce, which is basically solid water so...What I ended up doing was creating more realistic expectations for myself like drink more water and take the stairs instead of the elevator, baby steps. Anyway, this year I am putting more of a focus on myself and my writing. Throughout this past semester I allo...
