K-pop and K-dramas: The Jimin Conversation
Hey! Hallie here! Spring boarding right off of Taehyung’s birthday, anyone who has a Weverse account got a pretty startling notification.

Video Games: Games to Play When It’s Raining
Hey! Hallie here! The winter season is bringing a lot of rain to my house right now, which happens to be my favorite type of weather. I love relaxing indoors while it’s raining.

Ghostbusters: Why Winston is Important
Hey! Hallie here! It’s Ernie Hudson’s birthday! In honor of this acting legend, I thought it was the perfect time to dive into my love of ‘Ghostbusters’. Specifically the character of Winston Zeddemore. The truth of this character is that he is underused and underappreciated. He’s important despite the studio rather than because of it.Continue reading “Ghostbusters: Why Winston is Important”
