High School Incompetence and the Troubles it Causes Motivated Students

In a perfect world, a driven student who wants challenging and rigorous course work and a high GPA could achieve just that, with the faculty and administration behind them every step of the way. Unfortunately, this is not a perfect world. And my future may suffer because of it.

5 Reasons I Hate Being A Feminist

So, today my mother and I had a long discussion about feminism and rape culture and all those nice things. And the longer we talked, the more I realize that being a feminist is HARD, and definitely puts you in a very small minority. And I started to realize that I face a lot of problems being a feminist, both from a mental perspective and stemming from society in general. So here are 5 reasons that I hate being a feminist.

Long and Boring Post about My Life

I have decided to give a post with some insight into who I am. Surely, after many more posts, that image would come together naturally, but I like efficiency. (And let's be honest - I like talking about myself.)

Self-Improvement and Deduction

Recently, I have decided that my goal for self-improvement is to work on things that I have always been bad at/never thought I could do. That is the thinking that spurred my endeavors into art, and look at how well that has turned out for me!
