My New Year's Resolutions as Told By Harry Potter
2021 is finally here and it has been a long time coming. Last year taught me many things, mostly through hardship, but the great thing is that even the worst moments in our lives can pave the way for something better. This year, I plan to go into it with a positive mindset, and what better way to do that than with the help of my favorite book series. Because New Year's resolutions would be nothing without some old friends.

20 Glee Songs That Accurately Describe 2020
People have always had mixed feelings about Glee and the music from the show, but for me, Glee was one of the simple pleasures that got me through 2020. Working and doing school from home gave me a lot more free time and Glee and its music was there to motivate me, distract me, and give me something to smile about when almost nothing else did.

In the U.S., bullying is a big problem in schools. Kids across the country get bullied for an unlimited number of reasons: not wearing the right clothes, having speech impediments, being a girl that's too masculine or a boy that's too feminine, and unfortunately as long as we're all human, bullying will always occur at some level. But while all bullying is bad, not all bullying holds the same weight because the implications of all forms of bullying are not the same. And for (Black) African kids in particular, school can be the breeding ground for a lifelong battle against xenophobia.

5 of My Stories Flopped, But Yours Don't Have To
In the last few weeks or so, my views on Vocal have increased significantly. The biggest reason for this is that I have learned a lot in that time and it has made me a better content creator.

2020: The Tracks of My Year
Let's be honest, there wasn't much that 2020 had to offer us. Between $1200 stimulus checks to spread over nine months (if you live in the U.S.), a never-ending presidential election, a global pandemic in the form of a virus, and a global pandemic in the form of police brutality, 2020 felt like falling down on a trampoline while everyone else just keeps jumping.
