Primary School and Seating Assignment Mayhem.

But I have the ability to carry out a whole conversation all by myself. Those who know me understand I can talk for an entire day. Assuming I get the chance. …

Sometimes, Your Twin Comes in Handy
Ashley and I look like two peas in a pod. Classic best friends: Same figures, glasses, same class schedule, similar habits and ideologies. But our personalities? Polar opposites.

My First Experience at the Detention Book Club
Who in their right mind wakes up at 4 a.m. for a book club? Well, apparently, I do—at least, I did this one time. Detention’s second session took place on Monday, January 13th, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. CST. But for me, living in a time zone nine hours ahead, that meant a 4:00 a.m. wake-up …
