DAY 1087 I think by this time I’ve gotten the hang of this job. Wake up, go to school, make friends, and blend in – you know, play the role of the innocent student. I don’t know why Mom is always saying to be careful with strangers. I mean I’m a spy and no one...

I just finished watching Schitt’s Creek on Netflix. The storyline follows a famous family that loses their money. They are forced to relocate to Schitt’s Creek, a small town that they bought as a joke gift. Since there are 6 seasons on Netflix, the characters go through a lot over time, but I would graph […]

Growing up as a twin, everything included both of us. We always did everything together. We had the same friends, had the same closet, and had the same interests. As we grew up we started doing different things. We had always spent most of our time together, but when high school came, things changed. My …

In yesterday’s post, I mentioned that James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad was my most anticipated film of the year.

For this writing assignment, I chose A Story In Alphabet (three stars).
