I’m a little behind on my VidCon recaps (it’s almost been a month already!), but I wanted to bring you something a little different on the blog today: my VidCon notes! I have a little notebook that I bring with me every year and fill up with notes while attending panels, but one of the... Continue Reading →
The Case for Jess In Gilmore Girls
Sometimes I don’t understand how there are people who still haven’t watched Gilmore Girls (but then, there are also people who haven’t read Harry Potter, including my boyfriend *gasp*). One of my favorite creators, Tessa Violet, is one of them, and I noticed that she’s been tweeting about her experience watching the series recently and... Continue Reading →
I Cried in Wonder Woman (But Not For Why You Might Think)
So I’m a little late on the Wonder Woman train. I had been excited to see it because it looked epic (!), but I’d also been apprehensive that it would continue the train wreck that is D.C. superhero movies right now. Like I wanted to like Batman vs Superman and Suicide Squad (and generally, I... Continue Reading →
Was the Pretty Little Liars Endgame Satisfying?
It’s been a few days, and I’ve been able to process the series finale of Pretty Little Liars a little more. If you’re interested in my in-the-moment squeals and gasps, you should check out my latest video here. But otherwise, I thought I’d lay out some of my in depth thoughts on that crazy A.D....

Thoughts After Watching the Handmaid’s Tale with My Boyfriend
There are probably a hundred blogs and articles that you could read that tell you how AMAZING The Handmaid’s Tale on Hulu is and how it’s a must watch and analyze it through a much more critical lens than I. But while I’m definitely going to tell you, “YES! Please watch it!” What I felt... Continue Reading →
Busch Gardens Food & Wine Festival – Food & Beverage Sampler Review
The Food & Wine Festival at Busch Gardens Williamsburg is one of my favorite times at the park (second only to the pure MAGIC that is ChristmasTown), and I was so excited to get to experiences the YUMS this year too. I give you a rundown of the new kiosks (Mediterranean and India) and my... Continue Reading →
Why Stitchers is the Absolute BEST!
In a surprising twist of events, one of my favorite shows Stitchers on Freeform (which has had moderate views and ratings for two seasons despite being jerked around in timeslots and days) has premiered with a 3rd season! This is extremely exciting for me because it's 1.) An amazing show and 2.) Has a passionate... Continue Reading →
How to Prioritize Your Life
It’s been a hot minute since I posted anything here on the blog, and I’ve been really sad about this. But now I’m back on a new day with some thoughts on how to remedy this! My big problem during the last month and half was that I felt like all my life priorities had... Continue Reading →
Why is Everyone So Angry?
Two weeks ago we discussed how toxic fandoms can become, especially in online discourse. And in writing that blog, I realized there was a much bigger issue at play that I also wanted to address: Why is everyone so angry? I feel like I’ve gotten trapped inadvertently in a global outrage cycle. For a while,... Continue Reading →
My Life: One Year Later
This time last year I opened Gmail to find a truly mind blowing arrival. An email from the YouTube staff letting me know that I had been chosen for YouTube NextUp NY’s inaugural class. The email was sent on March 31st, and it basically had to say “This isn’t an early April Fool’s joke! You... Continue Reading →
