Happy Saint Paddy's Day, everyone! Yes, it's another year in which we all pretend to be Irish and find any excuse to drink our weight's worth of alcohol.

Hello! Today marks Pi Day, aka the day when one celebrates the beloved mathematical symbol (3.14) for all things circular and round.

Hello, bloggers. It's already been several days, but I hope you had a good New Year's. Whether you were to celebrate it with family and/or friends (even just in your own good company) at home or elsewhere, I hope you started off 2019 well. I guess this post could be classified as my typical "I'm …
It's finally 2019! What a year 2018 has been...from the bad to the good, I found this past year to be quite the roller-coaster compared to previous years. But I've survived, though, and I'm ready to tackle 2019! Looking back, I found 2018 to be one of the harder years in my adulthood so far. …

Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or some other holiday, I hope that you have a great time nonetheless. Currently, I'm still on vacation (or rather, taking a break from work …
