I always assumed that the world would end with some sort of plague. Perhaps its because I’m a hypochondriac and it just seemed more likely to me that when we all do get taken down, it would be the Karens who won’t vaccinate their kids rather than a nuclear war. It’s kind of funny to…

Coronavirus: What you Need to Know
Well, here goes nothing. According to the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and the WHO (World Health Organization), this particular strain of coronavirus originated from Wuhan, China and spread from there. Despite the confusion surrounding what the disease itself has been called, this is NOT the first known disease casued by the coronavirus. CoV or…
I Don’t Know Who Needs to Hear This But…
I had a really intense mental breakdown yesterday. Anyone who’s ever experienced depression will be able to recognize the feeling of overwhelming defeat, when you just accept that this is just going to be your day. Luckily, I had my boyfriend who forced me to get out of bed and migrate to the living room….
Toxic Academia
I was having a conversation with someone yesterday; or rather, trying to have a conversation with someone who wasn’t as interested in conversation as they were interested in flexing their high IQ, and unfortunately it didn’t go anywhere. Honestly, I’m not sure what I was expecting. I suppose I always have hope that people can…
I’m Baaaaaack
Yes, it is I. I have returned from my unintentional, week-long vacation. It’s been about three months since I started “My Unsolicited Opinion” and about a week ago I officially hit a point of burnout. It wasn’t so much an active decision to take a break as it was more a “depression napping induced lack…
Quilting, Existentialism, and Living Life
I started quilting last week; I’ve had this thought in my head for quite some time now but I didn’t really have the time or the drive to start until recently. I am a pretty sentimental person but I’ve also been working to live more of a minimalist lifestyle. As you’d imagine these two things…
The Rise of Witchcraft
The word “witch” is a loaded term; it has been for quite some time now. All over the world, in all different cultures, being described as different words, the concept of the witch is a consistent one that has developed independently across multiple continents simultaneously. While nowadays, men can choose to consider themselves as witches…
Please Excuse My Rant
Most of my work experience has been customer facing; at least in some capacity, whether that be direct customer service or tangential. The really frustrating thing about customer service is that it doesn’t matter how well you know the subject you’re talking about, it doesn’t matter how nice you are, the customer will always be…
The Adorned – Section 2: Asher
I rolled upright and sat on the edge of my bed, I stretched my hands and legs and leaned over to put on my shoes. As I tied the laces, the sun started trickling in from my window, I walked over to my workstation and began mixing up the spell. One part this. Two parts…
Review: Amplified Acapella 2020 ICCA Quarterfinals Performance
When I was a sophomore in college I auditioned for an acapella group on campus. There were a couple of different groups that I could have auditioned for, but I only wanted to audition for this one. Amplified Acapella was everything that I wanted in a group and I was overwhelmingly happy when I got…
