So I just realized that my biggest life skill is mastering the art of pretending to be busy while actually doing absolutely nothing. You know those times when you’re staring at your screen like it’s going to solve your problems? Yeah, that’s me—just a pro at looking productive while my brain is plotting a way to avoid any real work. Honestly, if there were an Olympic event for this, I’d win gold w...

I’ve finally realized that cooking is just a fancy way of saying “trying to impress people while simultaneously ruining everything.” I mean, I recently tried to make a pasta dish and managed to set off the smoke alarm.
