May is nearly over. Thank goodness. But today, we are here for one thing: monthly favorites!


Hogwarts Legacy: My Hogwarts Legacy journey came to an end this month, and I'm a bit brokenhearted. It's been years since I've been this invested in a game (that's not Sims 2). I'll miss having something to easily fall into at the end of the day. I'll miss all my magical beasties and my friends (especially Ominis🥺). But I'm grateful that I was able to have this lovely experience.


Captain America: Civil War: Continuing my slow movement through the MCU, and this one kind of surprised me. I didn't think I would enjoy the Avengers fighting each other, but the movie was actually a lot more fun than I expected. There are more dramatic moments, too, of course. But I loved those, as well.


Duolingo: I've been attempting to learn Italian through Duolingo. I've always been interested in learning languages, but I've struggled with the typical learning process. Duolingo is an enjoyable way to learn and practice, making things feel like fun like a game!


Eurovision: So, I've never watched Eurovision, but as it was winding down this year, my gaming bestie started sending me videos of some of the competitors. And before I knew it, I had watched all of them. Some of my favorites were Italy, Norway, Malta, Latvia, Cyprus, and San Marino. But honestly, pretty much everyone was great, and I may have found a new passion to explore in the future.


Other Music Favs: All of the Girls You Loved Before & Midnight Rain (Taylor Swift), Devotion (Ellie Goulding), Glow (Alien Ant Farm), She's Electric (Oasis), Not Falling Apart (Maroon 5), Full Moon (The Black Ghosts).

Digital Nostalgia

I've been watching Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. A favorite anime of mine from when I was a teenager. And I got in so deep this time that I actually decided to read The Catcher in the Rye!

 
 
 
The Myth of "Making It"

Last month was rough. Everyone says I made it through the stress remarkably well, but that doesn't mean it didn't take a lot out of me. And I've had little energy in the last few years to begin with.
