MUSIC/MOVIES/TV:


I would recommend watching When They See Us on Netflix. It's super short and based on a true story and very relevant to today's society. 

I also highly recommend Love, Victor, a really cute and fun show on Hulu. 

I saw Dune solely for Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya and actually ended up really liking it and would recommend if you like sci-fi and action movies. 


Goodbye November
Hello December!

The scariest month of the year when EA/ED college decisions come out!
