I unwillingly and accidentally became a Chasing Life fan. ABC Family worked their scheduling magic and ran Chasing Life’s freshman season after my favorite network show Pretty Little Liars—a surefire way to get someone hooked. While I didn’t need any more shows to add to my already burgeoning watch-list, I couldn’t help but love the... Continue Reading →
All the Questions You Still Have After Pretty Little Liars’ #FAcetoFace Reveal
This review contains SPOILERS! Don’t read it if you haven’t watched the finale and don’t blame me for ruining it for you because here I am warning you! We’ve waited for five and half seasons for the BIG REVEAL. We know “Charles” is A, but who the heck is Charles? Season 5 ended with us... Continue Reading →
McDreamy is Dead
My apologies for the spoilers, but if you don’t know that Derek Shepherd died on the latest episode of Grey’s Anatomy, then you obviously haven't been on the internet recently. I went into last week’s Grey’s Anatomy episode 11x21 “How to Save a Life” expecting McDreamy to die. Shonda Rhimes really couldn’t have made it more... Continue Reading →
How Can You Have the Vampire Diaries Without Elena Gilbert?
Nina Dobrev announced on Monday that her 6-year journey with The Vampire Diaries on The CW would be coming to an end at the close of the 6th season, and all the fangirls cried. What’s interesting to me is that they don’t intend to end the show all together, but rather have already been... Continue Reading →
What Makes a Book? (Print, Audio, and eBooks, Oh My!)
Reading is a treasured leisure activity of mine, but with the encroachment of technology I’ve always been something of a “purest.” I like the sound a new book spine makes when you first crack it open. I love the smell of books—old and new, dusty or crisp. I love the feel of crinkled pages and... Continue Reading →
Why American Sniper Isn’t Oscar Worthy
Since seeing the first trailer for American Sniper, I was torn about my feelings for it, whether I should see it, whether it would be any good, what kind of light it would portray topics I find touchy. But after hearing that it had 6 Oscar nominations, most notably that of Best Picture, I... Continue Reading →
Maybe I’m a Grammar Nazi (Or Maybe I Just Respect Women’s Intelligence)
I don’t really consider myself a Grammar Nazi. I can get pretty distraught over people’s horribly mutilated YouTube comments that clearly show they don’t have a grasp of the English language, but rarely do I freak out over the misuse of “your” and “you’re” or “its” and “it’s” in casual writing. (Although I definitely have... Continue Reading →
The Bachelor and The Selection: Guilty Pleasures and Catfights Galore!
I have two guilty pleasures I don’t much like admitting: ABC’s “The Bachelor” and Kiera Cass’s “The Selection.” Both are pop culture phenomena that I’ve come to enjoy late in the game. I resisted watching the Bachelor for YEARS because I felt like the premise was ridiculous. How could you be expected to find... Continue Reading →
Love Ruins Your Life
In watching the latest episode of Once Upon a Time (episode 407 “The Snow Queen”), I heard a quote that resonated with me. Will Scarlett, originally part of the Merry Men says in response to Robin Hood’s question about his heart-wrenching efforts for his True Love being worth it, “Mate, if you find someone you...

Josh Sundquist is Getting Married! (And Other Thoughts on YouTuber Romance and “Ships”)
There have been a lot of YouTube relationship revelations this year—most of them having a very unhappy ending with all the break-ups and abuse accusations (both sexual and emotional). In fact, before 2014, I didn’t pay much attention to who the YouTubers I watched regularly dated. Usually I would notice simply because there would be... Continue Reading →
