idk how to do this yet

Over the past two years, I have found that making playlists is something that I'm really passionate about! When paired with my other favorite hobby, collaging, I have been able to make some really special mix CDs and album art for my friends and family, which I will hopefully post details on at some point in the future. This particular playlist idea, RED, came about when quarantine began and I wanted to make a gift for my boyfriend, whom I hadn't been able to spend time with for weeks. I had made him a few playlists before--all cheesy, all romantic. I wanted this one to be different! His favorite color is red, and his favorite genre of music is rock. I put the two together and voila! A rock playlist containing only songs named after different shades of red. This playlist was SO fun to make. My criteria for making uniquely themed playlists such as these is: 1. the song lyrics must reflect the theme of the playlist (in this case, each song had to mention the color of red that it

I'm chuckling to myself right now as I imagine a future version of Animal Crossing called Animal Crossing: Old Folks. I'm pretty sure I would be obsessed with it, but maybe that's just because I'm exhausted and it's almost 1 in the morning. Unfortunately, that game will likely never exist, but until then, we can still make our islands into a retirement paradise for the elderly Animal Crossing villagers! I've rounded up ten villagers that I believe to be the most eligible options for senior citizens in the game. I haven't been able to test out this combo in-game yet because I have a disturbing lack of Amiibo cards . . . and a disturbing lack of New Horizons. But that's okay! If I actually had the game, I probably wouldn't have enough time to make this blog post in between keeping up my New Leaf town and playing New Horizons obsessively. Let me know if you give it a try! Better yet, if you're just starting out and for some reason, you decide to mak

I have no idea how my intense infatuation with cherry limeade truly began, but I fell fast, and I fell hard. This tart yet sweet beverage has become a stable fixation of mine over the course of a year, turning every grocery-shopping trip and stopping-for-gas trip into a cherry-limeade-seeking adventure. I have exhausted all of my local grocery stores, gas stations, convenience stores, dollar stores, and restaurants during my search for this elusive drink flavor, and I have decided to share the somewhat expansive knowledge I have gained on my journey. I will sort all of the cherry limeades that I have tested thus far into the following categories: "my favorites," "yep, these are tasty," "pretty decent," "not really my style," and "this doesn't even taste like cherry limeade!" I am by no means a food critic. I have no authority to claim certain brands as the 'best' and others as the 'worst.' This list is simply my pers

I am almost always late to the game with new technology. I didn’t get my first smartphone until 2015, when I was about to be a senior in high school. I didn’t get a Nintendo 3DS and Animal Crossing: New Leaf until 2016, three years after its initial release. And I never got a Nintendo Switch and Animal Crossing: New Horizons until . . . wait a minute, I still don’t have them!  As a result of this depressing fact, I have rediscovered the joys of Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Since the beginning of quarantine (and around the release of New Horizons) I have been dutifully attending to my New Leaf town more than ever before in a desperate effort to feel somewhat more connected to the gaming community. For those of you who usually can’t quite afford the luxury of purchasing new technology as it’s released, you know what I’m talking about.  For whatever reason, if you’re still playing New Leaf in 2020, this post is for you! I have only recently acquired Katrina’s Fortune-Telling Shop and have e
