March Favorites
I consume a lot of media, often multiple at the same time. You can often find me simultaneously reading a book, listening to music, with an ASMR ambiance video in the background. Here's a collection of what I was enamored by last month.
Books
Good Material by Dolly Alderton was very highly anticipated for me. The novel follows our protagonist, Andy, as he navigates a very fresh breakup. I laughed, I cried, I felt seen in a very uncomfortable yet reassuring way. I also felt very nostalgic for my time spent in London.
Film/TV
While only one episode is out of The Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show, I am already obsessed. Although the title boasts the show as reality tv, it's filmed much more like a documentary. When you expect Jerrod to have single-person interviews like one would in a typical reality TV show, the camera cuts to his stand-up sets instead. The whole thing feels genius and I cannot wait for more.

Music
Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves is one of my favorite albums of all time, so when Kacey announced that she would be releasing another album with a similar aesthetic, but with a touch more healing, I already knew that it would be on repeat. So far, my favorite songs are"Cardinal" and "Sway."
