AP Lit #3 Feeling old, might delete later 💅🏻🧚🏻✨
Looking at each of the sisters’ coming of age stories, I don’t feel like I relate to any of them. Not anything in my life that I can remember of course. I never really grew up in a way similar to Rachel, never lost faith in something big like Leah, and of course did not…

World Lit #1 Senior(itis) Year
Senior year, Grade 12, Year 13, whatever you call it, it’s the final year of high school and the scariest one too. I wonder how you readers are feeling. I’m personally excited and petrified at the same time (honestly the only thing I’m really scared about is Capstone). A few things I’m excited for would…
