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! I am by no means an expert in any of these fields, so please keep that in mind! If you want more, check back in for the most recent updates about my personal life here.
A few weeks ago, I got to complete an activity that has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember: Swimming with manatees! I've always said that manatees are my spirit animal.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! I hope that you had a safe and happy new year! Welcome to 2021, and cheers to another year. Every year, I write a yearly round-up with some of my highlights of the year and title it "Year of..." and I think that everyone can agree that 2020 was the year of…

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope that you're enjoying the start of this holiday season. It probably looks differently for you, because I know that it does for me too.
