Ever since she was little, Abigail Rose knew she was destined to be a musician. It’s no surprise the Nashville native was entertaining crowds before she could walk, and now, at 21-years-old, the artist is at the forefront of Music City’s pop scene. The perfect mix of pop and modern hip-hop, Rose’s music is making

Nina’s car horn woke me from my slumber. I slid open my window to find my friends motioning for me to come on already. I’d fallen asleep, and now I’m late. The clock reads a little past 10pm. “Shit, shit, shit, shit.” I dart around my room, thrusting my hand into the pile of clothes. My

A young adult dystopian called Red Queen is my favorite piece of literature for multiple reasons. Blood divides Mare’s world; having red blood means one is inferior
I did not wish for this. The carriage wheels push over dozens of pebbles, never giving me a chance to relax for just a moment. My eyes stare at the setting sun in the distance despite the brightness flickering different colors over my vision and blinding me. I blink them away and seal my eyelids.
Ever since Riverdale hit the air, fans have been begging for more from the Archie Comics universe, namely: Sabrina the Teenage Witch. In the past, there has been a lot of talk about Disney’s Dove Cameron joining the Riverdale cast as Sabrina, but it’s been reiterated that it would be hard to suddenly add a single
