Starting to move on, like some new movie release or concert tour outweighs the death of a fellow student. It’s kind of frustrating, you know?

That's awesome! Then what you should do is one of these times have the three of you get together and do a video. Yeah, and there's also these things that are really popular on YouTube.

Every person has a story to tell. As in the form of a distant memory, as a recent experience, or even as a fictional fairy tale, we all have a story to speak. But some of our greatest adventures are never spoken out loud. As of fact, most of these experiences happen within the blink of an eye, so our brains cannot grasp, and hold onto them forever.

Her father was a chemical engineer, so she joked about his work when talking about writer's block, again keeping more of a humorous approach to a challenging topic.
