I was an athlete my entire life up until college. I played and participated in a lot of sports including gymnastics, dance, volleyball, basketball, lacrosse, track and field, figure skating, cheerleading, cross country, and tennis (to name a few).

A Colorless World
The absence of color! Sounds like an awful time to me! The “sad beige aesthetic” is a trend that was widely popularized by Kim Kardashian. The aesthetic focuses on minimalism, neutral colors, and modernism. I put minimalism in quotations because, though this aesthetic may appear simplistic, it’s actually a gateway to overconsumption. We have all […]

While most people tune into the widely popular sports event for the obvious reason, others, like myself, can’t wait for the real entertainment: iconic advertisements.
