Conan Gray's new album Superache is super good.
Absolutely love 5SOS and their new September album is going to be the best thing from 2022.

STRANGER THINGS S4 IS FINALLY HERE. AND IN APPROXIMATELY 5 HOURS FROM ME WRITING THIS, S4 VOLUME 2 WILL BE HERE.

Love Vampire Diaries, every single Pixar movie ever, Dirty Dancing, and The Outsiders.


I actually hit my goal of 10 books this month so I'm doing pretty good... I start summer classes at Cal next week though, so I may be reading a bit less in July :( And then college starts in August...

Pray for me that I hit my goal.

I am taking a hardcore English class with a lot of books, though, so hopefully it's okay!

I am not even going to mention all of the traumatic human rights crimes that occurred this month. Just think about it when you're watching those fireworks next week.

GOODBYE JUNE
HELLO JULY
