5 Reasons Why I Love 'The Adam Project': A Movie Review
Released earlier this month, The Adam Project has quickly become one of my favourite science-fiction action movies that Netflix has distributed. Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy truly are the dream team and this movie just proves it.

How Well Do You Know Your Musicals?
After Netflix's release of Tick, Tick...Boom! in November I have had Jonathon Larson's songs on a loop in my brain ever since. Doesn't matter if I'm in the shower, or at work, or trying to sleep because wherever I go it's just: "don't panic, don't jump ship, can't fight it, like taxes" on and on and on!

Hurting Heart Poetry
Janie liked to describe herself as a woman of words. At age 22, she finished her creative writing degree, decided to move back in with her parents in order to save money, and she very quickly realised life after education wasn't as glamorous as she'd hoped.

Rest, Relaxation & Resolutions
Now I don't know about you but if I had the option, I would throw 2021 into the bin. An absolute trash year. I've been dealing with it all this year: COVID life, heartbreak, work-related stress, I'm 21 and found my first grey hair, and above all of that I have not been prioritising resting my body.

Words I Need To Say
If you think life is easy then this is not for you. If you can sip your coffee in the morning and exclaim "today is a good day" while positivity preaches from your self-love superiority that swells your head two sizes too big, this is not for you.

An Exploration of My Old Instagram Usernames
The legacy of being a fangirl is embarrassing and nostalgic at the same time. My first fandom was the Percy Jackson fandom, and from the age of 12 to 18 I racked up a fair few fandoms for both YA fantasy and dystopian books, and tv shows.

Percy Jackson, You Son of a God
If you're a football fan, you get asked where you were when you first witnessed your team winning a match. If you're a music lover you get asked which artist you went to see at your very first concert. But when you're a book lover, nobody asks where you were when you first discovered your favourite book.

Underneath The Pear Tree
Thomas sits underneath the pear tree with his back resting against the base of the trunk. Stretching out in the field in front of him, children are playing. They run around with toy guns and they yell at each other in an overdramatic game of tag. One child spots another hiding behind the bushes at the edge of the forest. He points at the cowardly boy, and then runs off as the boy in the bushes fakes his death. Thomas smiles; children's imagination can be so creative.
