It’s been so long since I did a post centering around foreign dramas. I did a post of Top 11 Korean Dramas and then promptly forgot to do any similar posts.

The Pointlessness of a Creative Writing Degree
Let me just say that I am not against college as a rule. Degrees like engineering, biology, etc. are incredibly important to not only get educated in, but also accredited in. However, there are a lot of pointless degrees out there. Since I was a young child, I knew I wanted to be a writer. … Continue reading The Pointlessness of a Creative Writing Degree
