Brooke Pawling Stennett is a college student pursuing a degree in Multimedia Journalism and Creative Non-Fiction in the old Windy City. She tends to lean toward the obsessive side of the tracks when it comes to books and music. She's an avid concert attendee (or at least she tries to!) and rambler. She'd like to travel the world and write about it, but in the only ways she knows how: sarcastically and full of internet jargon. Her opinions are her best ones, especially if they involve boy-bands and Netflix. . .even though she doesn't even have her own account. You can tweet her at @br_stennett and tell her how ridiculous (and totally great!) her opinions are.

I’m here to tell you that this list is only dipping a small fraction of your feet into the water. There is a whole world of unknown books, and it’s calling your name. The name calling also tends to be in a desperate tone and surprisingly in the same voice as Achilles, the hero.

Concert Review: One Direction’s ‘On the Road Again’ Honda Civic Tour 2015

It’s a flirty, charming, and upbeat concert that leaves no room for sitting down before you’re hit with another pop hit that cuts through a 79,000 capacity stadium and echoes in the mouths of all ages.

Review: Bea Miller’s Debut Album, ‘Not an Apology’

As a whole, Not an Apology, is weaker in the sense of lyrical content, but stronger in the fact that the album fits so well together. There is not a track out of place and the flow of pure pop into pop-rock, and then into acoustic is well done on Miller’s album team’s part.

August Binge Watch: The Top 10 Shows You Should Be Watching

I know, I know, it’s only the end of July and I should probably wait to make this post, but before you know it, September will have crept up on us and slipped through the crack in the door and scared us into a blood curdling scream.

Well, sort of. So as it approaches quickly (Yes, September is only six weeks away), I figured it’s never too soon to break out the box set of “I never want to leave this bed, wait school starts in like a week, but I only have one season left???” shows to dive into before the alarm is blaring and you’re crying into some coffee.
