An Enthusiastic Life Update: I’m Alive!

As I sit here in my bed, with a barely charged laptop and the soundtrack to Love, Simon playing, I realize I’ve been out of the blogging game for a while. And if you’ve thought I was dead or completely left the internet, well, I’m back! Where to even start? Life has been a whirlwind of emotions and change and finally finding my groove in the City of Bridges. I’ve cried and laughed and found a life that is making me find a passion for blogging again. Being away from the intern

Signs You're An Internet Kid

There are several factors of me that are incredibly obvious. I am a journalist, as shown by my constant need to write and ask questions. I am an Anglophile, as shown by my complete love of the culture and inability to stop using British slang. I am an Internet kid, as shown by my completely ridiculous use of time on the web. I don’t really know exactly when I started devoting my life to the Internet. I guess if I look for a definite date I would say the day I started this blo

It’s time for my March guest post! I have been building up the excitement for this for a week or so now and I am so excited to finally share it!

Social Media: You’re Doing it Wrong

Like a lot of people of my generation I have a laptop and an iPhone and I use Facebook and Twitter and Instagram and Tumblr. I spend my free time basically glued to a screen that does nothing for me but give me bad eyes for the future. And that is one of the saddest things I’ve ever written on this blog. We use social media in this way that it takes over our ability to notice how ridiculous we’re being. There are days I get on Facebook and I just want to call someone’s mother

10 Things I Can’t Live Without

I’m a person of simple needs. I’m not very complicated or fussy. But without certain things, I’m just a blob of flesh. So, to let you all in on what makes me tick, here is my list of ten things that I most definitely cannot live without. (besides air, food, water, and shelter) 1. Scarves Some of my actual scarves. These are all my favorite ones. I really don’t like having to buy a bunch of really fancy tops because those cost money and I’m a student who makes minimum wage. So

"Oooh Pottermore opens today!" Think again.

It’s October 1st. And a lot of people have been saying this over the social networks: “Yay! Pottermore’s open to the public today! Yay” Yeah, it’s not. Tons of people missed the early admission to Pottermore for various reasons. You didn’t have internet access that week, you were too busy, you didn’t really care about it. Or, if you’re me, your computer broke on the second day before you had the chance to even try looking for the magic quill. Life is unfair sometimes. Anyway,

I Just Got Googled

Have you ever Googled yourself? It is the weirdest thing ever. I’m sitting in my bed, about an hour before I go to bed, and have found myself on the world wide web (that is full of almost anything to do) with nothing to do. So, I go to Google, because it is the home of the internet, and decide to type in ‘Teenage Enthusiasm’. Yes, this changed my life. Searching for yourself on the internet can be very strange. First off, I found links that redirected to my blog. That wasn’t

Things I Will Never Take for Granted…Again

This past week has been a toughie. I’ve lived through things that you wouldn’t even imagine. Just kidding 😀 But I have learned that some of the things I take for granted actually are something I should be grateful for. One of the things I used to take for granted was hearing. Last Saturday I was cleaning my ears before I showered and apparently hit a piece of earwax or something. Whatever it was blocked my hearing and made it sound like I was listening to everything through
