I Recreated Bo Burnham's 'White Woman's Instagram'
Everyone's been obsessed with Bo Burnham's comedy special Inside in one way or another. Now that the billionaire space race is afoot, I've seen several TikToks featuring "Bezos I" and "Bezos II" to commemorate Jeff's flight. I was in a production of Midsummer Night's Dream back in June and early July, and one of my castmates would play "That Funny Feeling" on his acoustic guitar whenever we had downtime during rehearsals. I even wrote a Top 10 list of Bo Burnham songs for my job because I couldn't stop thinking about Inside.

on vocal burnout.
I've been writing on Vocal for over 2 years now, and for the first time in my independent blogging career, it feels like I've hit a brick wall.

To Bloom Among Weeds
I wonder if our parents can tell we've slept together from the way Violet and I are smiling in these graduation pics. They think we're still just besties, emboldened by the fiery fuel of female teenage camaraderie. We're not quite partners, but we're not just hooking up for the hell of it. It’s eating me alive.

5 Unsplash Photos I’m Tired of Seeing Around Vocal
Vocal creators who have been on this site for about six months or longer probably know the feeling: when you're scrolling through top stories or the submissions to a challenge and every cover photo looks. exactly. the same. Am I dreaming? Did I just see two stories right next to each other with the same lady covered in popcorn?

How To Edit Your Published Vocal Stories!
It happened again. You spent five hours writing the perfect Vocal article. You got so excited by the fact you finished, you accidentally hit "submit for review" before deleting any spelling or grammar mistakes. Or maybe you did check for mistakes, but you missed a couple in your editing session. If only the article wasn't locked while pending for review - you could take them out right now!

Pixie
There she was: Keira Knightley circa 2005 wearing her hair in a pixie cut on the pages of my Celebrity Style Guide I'd bought at my school's Scholastic Book Fair.

A Turtle's Smile
It can be hard leaving family behind for college, especially if you're close with them. On August 16, 2017, I wasn't leaving my family - rather, my little brother was leaving me for the Florida Institute of Technology.

Woohoo, Pride Month! Time for parties, parades, and embracing your sexuality and gender identity, whatever they may be. I've always enjoyed Pride music. Unlike other music played for holidays - like Christmas or Halloween - music blasted during Pride doesn't need to be specific. So long as it's about embracing your individuality, loving who you want to love, or even about celebration in general, it works for the month. Just like sexuality and gender, Pride music is fluid. And it's always super fun!
