Shows/Movies/Music I Watched/Listened To:

• Unabomber (Netflix) – I just needed to watch something on Netflix because why pay for it if I’m not using it? This was about Ted Kaczynski the Unabomber and though we get to learn about what triggered him to be the way he was, it was kind of anticlimactic.
• Football

Shows/Movies/Music I Watched/Listened To:

• You Seem Pretty For a Girl So In Love – Olivia Rodrigo – still on repeat!
• Crew Girl (Netflix) – I binged this one but it’s definitely kind of cringey – but I thought it was funny. Plus I learned a lot about rowing? 🤷🏻‍♀️
• The Early Spring (Netflix) – my first C-drama! And I was obsessed even though the MMC was toxic and so overly arrogant. I thought the FMC’s journey from timid and shy to a leader in the advertising industry was such a a cool journey not because of the secret office romance with her boss – but the friendships she makes along the way whether it’s her co-workers or roommates. I was SO invested I ended up crying at a really tragic part. I still heartbroken about it. I never knew C-dramas were 20+ episodes each, I love it and can’t wait to watch more C-dramas!
