In this celebrated work Wilde forged a devastating portrait of the effects of evil and debauchery on a young aesthete in late-19th-century England. Combining elements of the Gothic horror novel and decadent French fiction, the book centers on a striking premise: As Dorian Gray sinks into a life of crime and gross sensuality, his body retains perfect youth and vigor while his recently painted portrait grows day by day into a hideous record of evil, which he must keep hidden from the world.

I've recently been devouring the 50 Shades soundtrack. I don't like the films but the songs are so good. 
Dominic Fike has been the top #1 on my repeat for the past two months. Sunburn the song and album are so incredible. 
I really really love Ten Tonnes but I'm keeping him my little secret. He's currently at 95K listeners. I was here since 41K. 

I love Brooklyn 99 and I'm almost done. I'm going to start some random shows soon to play in the background of my homework. I've been watching a lot of man movies too to understand the male psyche. 



This month was wild. I was an orientation leader for the freshmen class so I started two weeks earlier than everyone else. Orientation week was CRAZY but so fulfilling and so fun. I also am taking five (5) classes, have three (3) jobs, and like four (4) organization leadership roles. It's a lot. I've been slacking on reading but I'm trying my best. I want to read more. My yearly goal is so far away. 

GOODBYE AUGUST
HELLO SEPTEMBER!
