after graduating, packing up, moving out, moving in, unpacking, setting up new apartment things, and finally settling in...i finally have time to just sit on my bed and contemplate what to do with my time before i start working. 

so naturally i’m starting my own newsletter...a compilation of things i enjoyed reading, watching, listening + other random things, and hopefully frequently. welcome!!

during college, i somehow subscribed to way too many newsletters for my brain’s sake but stumbled into the niche of personal newsletters. i love personal newsletters! (i'll also do a list of newsletters i sub to in the future maybe)

i know that there are many ways to do essential what a newsletter does. or what my newsletter would do. but there’s something about a personal email that feels more intimate and i like the idea of an archive of the things i'll have compiled. (really trying to avoid the word curate here) newsletters are like the new blog. kind of twitter but more longform. and it gets personally delivered to your inbox! 

anyway, there are so many other things you could be doing, so thanks for subscribing and being here. enjoy!
