'The World as I Know It' is a selection of poetry that tread the line between girlhood and womanhood, exploring the complexities of age, feminity, and loss of innocence.

When an influencer meets (and falls for) a social media skeptic, she has to decide whether to keep her masks on ― or finally show the world her real self. ⋆☆⋆ Krista Ming has perfected the art of duality. She's a bookish introvert by day and a nebulous mix of Instagram influencer and model and club promoter by night. Juggling Pre-Medical school, two jobs, and her family's high expectations with her cool grace, sharp humour and compassion, everyone loves Krista. Except Quentin Cheng. He hates social media influencers. Krista plots and plans to change his mind, but how much can she do before she loses sight of herself? ⋆☆⋆ [ @WattpadExplorer's Editor's Pick List October 2021 ] [ @Wattpad's College Romances List September 2022 ] [ @Wattpad's Campus Life, Campus Love List August 2023 ] [ Halston University #3.

Remiya Siu is just trying to get through her senior year in one piece. Between writing articles for the school's newspaper, her part-time job at a local diner, and the piles of assignments she has to plow through for her AP classes, she barely has time to breathe. The pressure will be worth it, though. Because ultimately, it's going to help her get into Harvard--the college of her dreams. Except it doesn't. She's deferred, and she's crushed. By a stroke of pure luck, an opportunity arises when the annual Grand Achievement award is up for grabs for the first time ever, and she's one of two eligible students. This is what she needs to win so she can (finally) get off Harvard's waitlist once and for all. There's only one problem: competition comes in the form of Blaise Yang, her childhood nemesis, and he refuses to back down.
