In honor of Everything,
Everything I decided to type my title in French. No, I don’t know French
and no I'm not entirely sure if that's a correct translation. I used Google. Most
of my Winter Break will consist of me laying around my house eating unhealthy
amounts of pasta. As a vegetarian, I like to pretend it’s okay to eat pasta for
breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It is not. When I’m not eating I’ll be watching
Netflix. The second season to Sense8 begins in December—if you haven’t watched
it why?—and Luke Cage is impatiently awaiting for me to binge watch him.
Eventually I know I’ll get tired of Netflix and I won’t be bored but my head and eyes start hurting when I watch a screen for too long. Maybe that’s the Lord telling me to stop, who knows. So after I make my vision worse from all the shows I will inevitably watch I’ll write. As most of you know one of the subjects I’m majoring in is English. I love writing and this break will allow me to have some much-needed writing time. As of right now I have this idea for a total badass detective named Carmen Delgado. She’s a feminist (duh), Hispanic (double duh), and dedicated to catch the notorious drug dealer that killed her daughter.
Now, with every writer comes a horrible case of writer’s-block. So when my mind decides to betray me with a foggy case of blankness I will read. One thing I love as much as writing is reading. This is how my list looks so far:

you but reading is fun so do it.

leader”—
