Friends. BP has now reached 200K views. And I cannot even fathom that. I know I haven't posted in years (thanks, college), but I wanted you to know I still check up on Wattpad from time to time. In other good news, I'm about to enter my last year of undergrad, which is insane. Maybe, and just maybe, after I graduate and start working full-time WITHOUT classes, I might be able to write more. Don't want to get my hopes up but it's a nice thought that I may eventually return to one of my passions. Stay strong and keep writing, you'll someday look back fondly on even your worst writing :)

Hey friends, I know I haven't been writing much the past few years, but to say I'm busy is an understatement. I don't know if I'll ever finish another story, but I will always keep my writing here public for anyone to enjoy. That being said, I love seeing how active Wattpad still is and I thoroughly enjoy responding to comments on my stories. Just know that I'm still here, still passionate about books, and still overwhelmed with joy for what writing here has taught me. Thank you all❤️

Wowwie, looks like I haven't updated a published story in two years. I'm so sorry. Senior year of high school and my first year of college were absolutely insane, I've been incredibly busy but I've grown so much as a person during that time. Currently, I'm working full-time so I can pay for college, and in my free time I'm volunteering and crocheting as many dishcloths as possible before all of my friends and I move into apartments in a few weeks. This morning, I got bit by the writing bug and obsessively edited the story with the working title Dream House, so maybe I'll keep up on that. If there's anything you want to read, though, please let me know! Again, sorry I've been so inactive, but nonetheless you all have persevered. I still can't believe how many reads I've gotten on BP,  that's crazy. I don't plan to ask anyone for money to read my stories, Wattpad used to be entirely free and I think it should stay that way.  Thank you all for being so awesome and for spending your time with books :)

I haven't been on in so long, I'm sorry! I slacked off the remainder of senior year, worked all summer, and have been super social (when not working on homework!) since starting college. Now that my excuses have been established, I'd like to scream THANK YOU for over 100k reads on BP! That's insane! It's not even a good story! Whatever, you all are so amazing, I hope you enjoy what I have published so far, and if I manage to get into writing more frequently again, I'll be sure to post!

You guys would not believe how much time it takes to apply to colleges and for scholarships... I've been constantly writing essays and taking occasional Netflix breaks for my sanity. I'm just finishing up my last application for Princeton, so hopefully I should be writing a little bit soon. No promises though :/

Wow 150 followers! That's crazy! I'm like hardly even active nowadays! Thank you guys! Updates for you:
          
          -I HAVE been writing some. Not on the stories I publish currently, but starts and more plot lines and a few stories I really like. I know that doesn't help you guys, since you don't get to read full stories with progressing plot lines but sooner or later I'll pick one to go crazy on for a little while.
          
          -Aforementioned boyfriend and I broke up because of jobs and we're too busy. Once we both graduate, we'll probably try again. That's not super relevant but maybe it might make me seem more like a person to you guys.
          
          -AP Spanish really kinda sucks. All of my other classes are really easy, even AP Calc BC and AP Stats and AP English. But a new teacher who has never taught us or AP is making this hard. I have a project due tomorrow and all I have is two sentences.
          
          Oh well, hope everyone is having a good school year so far!
