Nine months ago, I moved into his house. It’s a constant learning experience that I couldn’t be more grateful for.  I originally planned to move from Tallahassee to New York and continue to hustle until I figured out my next steps. And then I experienced a few traumatic events towards the end of my academic career, making that no longer an option for me. I drained my savings and I had to pivot. I moved in with my father and step mother, I started...]]></description><link>https://abigailmbernard.wixsite.com/portfolio/post/gap-years</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69dc2c428614fb4128b1f386</guid><pubDate>Mon, 13 Apr 2026 00:46:01 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/nsplsh_52337055476e3559695467~mv2_d_4016_4016_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Abby M B</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everybody wants to be an influencer, who is supposed to be influenced? [Brain dump]]]></title><description><![CDATA[Over the past 6-ish years with the turn of social media as a niche section of the world into an encapsulation of the world, there is also a rise in desire for fame (kinda). I think Charli Damelio and other social media stars, especially over quarantine in 2020, helped average people realize how much could be made from social media. A great revenue stream sure, but what happens when everyone wants to be a millionaire? The original and intended use of social media was for connection.

Apologies friends, and welcome to Goons Galore.) Heated Rivalry is the new hit series starring Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, along with many  attractive supporting cast members. The show is based on the Game Changers book series by Rachel Reid, a queer hockey romance anthology (i guess?) about two men who are simply star crossed lovers and can't come out because they can't...]]></description><link>https://abigailmbernard.wixsite.com/portfolio/post/heated-rivalry-goons-gone-wild-rant</link><guid isPermaLink="false">694b996f922cfc95692e8b90</guid><pubDate>Thu, 25 Dec 2025 00:31:07 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/nsplsh_57693830446d4539796245~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Abby M B</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[My Brain Finally Rotted]]></title><description><![CDATA[Brain rot:  Mindless digital content; the fixation on it and harmful mental effects of it (Merriam Webster) The last time I think I had some semblance of proper functioning capacity of my brain, I was a sophomore in high school. I loved math with a passion, I existed on the internet only to rant on a spam page and make YouTube vlogs documenting my life.

There have been so many ups and downs during my 21st year (or 22nd, I don't know there are people who consider it to be an end of the age milestone, instead of the start of being that new age..if that makes sense). I want to change my situation, grab a few extra certifications that would look nice on LinkedIn and live in a faster paced (walkable city) with a creative job that doesn't stress me out.
