I recently asked a former colleague what they've been up to lately and they responded with, 'I'm evolving.' And I loved this answer. Ours, yours, theirs.. Every industry and area of study has gone through a substantial amount of change over the last few years. It's fascinating. Willing to adapt with the change appears to be one key ingredient to a successful career path. After all, it's my belief that if you truly don't wish to grow with it, you very much might as well pack up. In some sense, there are hundreds of potential applicants lined up ready to go in these confusing times. Sure, we all react to change as it's happening on impulse. But I think most of the time, we don't prepare ourselves enough in advance, on how to change. We all require a certain mindset to be aware of the ongoing advancements and adjustments all around us. Not everyone is capable. Some, more often and prosperous than others.
The F Word (2013)
An immaculate representation of finding love in the big city. The familiar city. AKA 'What If,' this light, unique romance gives intercepting the girl from another guy in order to escape the friendzone (F as in Friend). Wallace tends to represent the moral majority in most cases here. Proving himself as totally normal, while coming fresh out of the wizarding world, it's uplifting to feel Radcliffe's performance as one of our own. For those who have ever strolled these roads in your prime, this film will really result in a pleasing experience. That, and I really need to input fool's gold into the cookbook.
Ginny Weasley is going to be so upset when she watches this... love is stupid.
Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane (2013)
A fantasy to enhance your imagination. Though the story is shadowing these children's epic tale through farmhouses and fields, I very much doubt it was ever intended for kids to read through. Stirring something terribly profound within the reader, as you allow yourself to see the smallest bodies of water as an unimaginable journey. There are some pages of terror, and I think I've faced a few Ursula Monktons in my day. When little, Lettie Hempstock travels to Oz through the ocean and gives you life, she teaches you to grow and try and be worth it ... 'The moon does shine as bright as day.'
Honey Lung - Sophomore

A melodic anthem and ode to your friends.
Revisiting because the inactivity (as of lately) from this band is crushing me.
I remember hearing this and immediately categorizing it as one of the greatest album openers of all time. Intelligent tone featuring a Pumpkins-inspired solo that emits out a 90's house party subculture. Fingers have never been crossed more tightly. Huge fan, please notice me.
Tulips by Sylvia Plath
Often defined as a brutal poet, Plath's form of delivery with its trails of depression, carry the reader through the halls of an institute, delivering flowers to this patient. Although the intention of a gift, they're received as dread, yet the only gateway to the outside world (reality). Confessional, which leads this poet to convey extraordinary depth and complexity within her writing. The tulips eat my oxygen can be inscribed on every stone in a graveyard forever & always.
I heard a great quote once; 'Be yourself, don't be Sylvia.'
