Illinois State '28

Hey! I'm Sarah and I'm a sophomore majoring in English Studies at Illinois State University. In my spare time, I enjoy reading fiction books, writing poetry, watching K-dramas/Filipino dramas and curating playlists for every specific scenario.

I hope you enjoy reading my articles as much as I loved writing them!
