This Month’s Obsession
Love Island UK
Ok, so my midsummer guilty pleasure was watching Love Island UK in the wee hours of the morning. I started with the current season but Hulu took a while to catch up, so I ended up looking at Love Island UK hashtags and found this particular tweet saying, “Give me another Tommy and Molly-Mae kind of love“. As I scrolled, the more Twitterverse kept screaming for Molly-Mae. Who is this iconic Molly-Mae and what is it about her that people didn’t mind typing her whole name and a hyphen in their tweets?? After much-a-Google, I found out that Tommy and Molly were from Season 5 and I confirm that their love was actually worth all the hype. I got obsessed with their love story and the rest of that season’s cast, believe it or not. That was a great Love Island season with lots of drama and garbage characters, just as I like ’em. So now, I am also obsessed with Molly-Mae’s life and relationship with Tommy post-Love Island that I watch her Youtube vlogs on the daily.

It took courage.
Hooray! I just survived my first week of grad school. I still honestly can’t believe it. I am now a graduate student! First one in my family, my goodness! I just announced it on Facebook, and yes, that makes it official. And yes, I am claiming full responsibility. People just don’t know the amount of…
