I Tried Waking Up at 5 A.M. Like a Successful Person and Accidentally Started Hallucinating About Toast
At some point in the last few years, waking up at 5 a.m. became the holy grail of productivity. According to social media, if you don’t wake up before the sun and meditate while drinking organic matcha from a handcrafted mug, are you even trying?

That Time I Joined a Book Club and Accidentally Turned It Into a Gossip Circle
I joined a book club for intellectual enrichment. That was the idea, anyway. I imagined cozy evenings discussing powerful novels over herbal tea and cheese cubes, becoming the kind of person who says things like “I found the protagonist’s journey both universal and subversive.”
