Or, exploring my internalized misogyny and ageism through Schitt’s Creek — WARNING! There are spoilers for Schitt’s Creek Seasons 1–5 below! I’ve finally done it! “It” being that I started watching Schitt’s Creek at long last! And of course by “started” I mean that I’m already up to the beginning of Season 5. It really is as good as everyone said! …

…coming from a VERY unathletic person, mind you — Last week was weird for me. I won’t get into it, but…let’s just say it was a good thing it was my off week from OTF. I’m not sure I could’ve sorted my brain out enough to write a coherent piece! That being said, I’m not super confident I can…

Or does it? — *Spoilers for Bridgerton await! Read with caution!* So, I somehow managed to miss any trailers for Bridgerton before I plopped down on my couch to start binging it. The only things I knew going into it were 1) that it was set in Regency Era London, and 2) that it…

Or, we survived a Southern Baptist sleepaway retreat…three times — by Kayla & Aimée Once upon a time (actually, three times), Kayla and Aimée got suckered into going on a week-long retreat with a church they didn’t even go to. They were lured in by the thoughts of sunshine, fun, friends, and boys…little did they know, they were in for…

Or, my love-hate relationship with Catholicism — Hip hip hooray, I’m engaged! Aaaaaand now for the stressful part. My wedding is (potentially) 18 months away, but I’m already starting to feel a bit overwhelmed by all the planning that’s going to go into it. …

Or The Crown meets Gilmore Girls meets Crazy Ex-Girlfriend — If you didn’t blast through The Crown Season 4 as soon as it dropped a couple weeks ago, what were you even doing?
