One thing about me? I’m obsessed with the internet. So obsessed that I built my career off everything I learned as a 16-year-old One Direction fangirl and my current job (running Shit You Should Care About, a media company that helps young people understand the news) totally enables this obsession. It’s never been the chic parts of the web that caught my attention; I wasn’t watching makeup tutorials like my friends or scrolling through Pinterest to save workout inspo.

She knew she should care about this stuff and that after three years, it should be making sense, but it wasn’t.
