But now, the month of July felt like a Band-Aid was ripped…
I wanted my summer to be reminiscent of a coming-of-age film, but I made the questionable decision of signing up for English Literature IB. Instead of hangouts and late-night conversations with my friends, I guess I’ll have them with my books. Before the first day of classes, I must fully annotate two texts for my…

The COVID vaccine isn’t the most terrifying thing in the world. When you first get poked by the needle, it feels no more painful than a mosquito bite. A few hours after getting jabbed, however, some nasty side effects start to pop up. Your arm becomes a sore, limp noodle. You feel nauseous and dizzy.…
