College was supposed to be a time of self-discovery and growth, but for me, it became a whirlwind of stress and indecision.

One lazy afternoon I was doom scrolling through my Instagram feed, hopping from one mesmerizing video to another. I stumbled upon a creative video about intricate and personalized embroidery.

If you ask me what the best hobby in the world is, my answer would be reading. Would I be biased? Maybe a little bit. But falling in love with books has done more than entertain me. It has also given me a community like no other.
