Just a girl interested in science, nature, and writing about my adventures.
Welcome to all of the miscellaneous information about my life! Featured here are my reviews of musical performances or exercise classes, life with my kitty, nostalgic stories, discussions about anxiety and depression, life as a big sister — and much more!

Wow, Christmas really creeped up on me this year! March is less than 3 months away, and I feel like I’m barely processing last March.
