It wasn’t until this year that I realized how different I was.

Online spaces are not sacred anymore. This has been a long time coming, but the rapid change of technology and social media has destroyed itself from the inside out. There’s a lot to say about the deterioration of these spaces, but the main focus that has been on my mind is influencers.

With a few exceptions, I used to strictly be a fiction reader. I wanted to escape into new worlds and read about fictional people, not be slapped by reality every time I opened a book to relax. Then I came to college.

When preparing to attend college, deciding on a major is one of the hardest choices someone can make. A major prepares you for the rest of your life. Your education, career, credentials, and experiences will mostly revolve around the major that you choose. The choice seems simple, but in reality, is extremely difficult.

Sometimes judging a book by its cover leads you to find one of your new favorite books. That’s why, after seeing this book’s cover in every aesthetic beach photo on Pinterest, I knew I had to get my hands on a copy of Everything I Know About Love by Dolly Alderton. The fluorescent colors were too appealing to me to pass up, and the title alone was enough to get me intrigued in the memoir. Alderton’s memoir covers life stories from when she was a teenager to when she was thirty.
