I’m 30, btw! My birthday is May 18—the best day in the entire world and I’m not even just saying that because it’s mine—and on it I said goodbye to my 20s.

So far, I love being 30. I have a master’s degree, Regal Unlimited subscription (with Obsession presently being in theaters), and 8:30 sunsets. I never found the thought of crossing the 30 threshold to be scary—the Summer House cast are all there (plus, like, 15 years if you’re Kyle Cooke), and none of them seem particularly old to me. I feel good.

Because I graduated this month, my birthday month is officially JUNE 2026. I have no problem stealing from Geminis as I am one emotionally (Moon sign) and romantically (Venus sign). Feel free to wish me happy birthday daily as you see fit.

Perhaps it’s cliché to write 30 lessons I learned before I turned 30 or whatever, but when has the fear of being cliché ever stopped me before? I wrote this list a couple months ago while sipping a matcha, and I stand by most of it.

I present to you the 30 most important lessons you could ever read. (Lesson zero: Always hype yourself up!!!!)

1. It doesn’t matter if it’s 8 p.m. Drink the damn matcha!

2. Routines are good. For example, every night at 8 p.m., I drink the damn matcha.

3. If you cut your hair, you might regret it. But that’s okay. It’s better to regret than to never decide at all.

4. Don’t have regrets that are more consequential than a haircut. Accept that you made the best decision you could have with the information you had.

5. Always say yes to babysitting your nephew, a call with your sister, and dinner with your best friend.

6. If someone you know wrote a book, read it. If they started a business, buy something from it. If they’re in a play, go see it. I’m not even just talking friends, for which this support should be a given. If you know someone, and you like them, support the things they’re doing. You never know how it could encourage them; the world needs people pursuing things they’re passionate about.

7. In the god awful worst days of your life, don’t forget how to laugh. If you forget, watch Survivor season 29.

8. Don’t go to grad school! If you want to go, then sure, but write down five things you hope to gain from it and make sure at least two of those aren’t things you can get from something else. If you then decide to go, it’s exactly what you should be doing.

9. If you’re single, your priority in dating should be to have fun. If you’re in a relationship, your priority with your partner should be to have fun.

10. Delete Instagram off your phone.

11. Never be the smartest person in the room. If you are, it’s your responsibility to invite more people in.

12. My dad always said two out of 10 people are going to love you, two out of 10 people are going to hate you, and the other six can go either way. No matter what you do, you will always be loved, and you will always be hated.

13. Getting an espresso machine for your home is one of the best things money can buy. You will be changed, for good; sure, you will be caffeine dependent, but you will be grateful for slow mornings at the counter with a latte and your husband, or fast mornings during which you make a quick iced latte to go but are empowered to make it exactly how you like it.

14. Buy the salsa verde from Oceana Market. This may be too niche, but I do find it pertinent.

15. Talk to your mom and dad. Even if they’re dead.

16. Talk about your mom and dad. Especially if they’re dead.

17. Get a cat and tell her how much you love her. She will understand.

18. Read, go to the movies, listen to new music, and listen to podcasts—and don’t feel guilty for spending time with any of these artforms. These are often solitary activities, but there are thousands of people out there enjoying the exact same art that you are. It’s nice to do something alone in community.

19. Make art for yourself and not for the audience you think it’ll speak to. The best artists you’ve ever encountered created their art as an entirely selfish act. This is good. Art should be selfish.

20. If someone wants to talk to you about astrology, let them. It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe in it—you don’t have to. They’re likely trying to connect with you and understand the world around them.

21. If you know someone who is grieving, ask them how they’re doing.

22. Nostalgia is powerful—it’s our desire to connect with a past that is dead and gone. Nostalgia is grief. Reminisce, and bring the things you loved into the present once more.

23. Journal. If you have an excuse for why you aren’t able to journal on a particular day, journal about it.

24. Did you just see an advertisement for $1 oysters? Drop everything and order 20.

25. Friendship is not a game, and it is not a competition. If you’re always the first one reaching out to a friend, who cares? Reach out again if you have the urge to. If your friend is accomplishing something before you? Good! They deserve it, and it’s not about you.

26. People in Italy do not go out in their pajamas. This is a deeply American thing to do. I will not, for example, dress to the nines to sit on a flight, but in everyday life, I have noticed a strong correlation between looking good and feeling good.

27. Reach out to younger members of the family. Your little cousins shouldn’t have to reach out to you first.

28. People love you everywhere you’ve ever been. We can’t possibly contemplate the impact we’ve had on others. Whenever you feel compelled, tell someone what they mean to you.

29. If you’re loud, be loud. In happiness, in sorrow, in love, in grief. Shout all your emotions at the rooftops, even if it feels like no one could ever understand you. Someone, somewhere will understand.

30. Watch the sunset. The sun never changes; it always sets exactly like it should. Even as you change and get older, you will watch the sunset in the exact same way that you always have.

I graduated from my Master’s program and turned 30 all in the last week. This is monumental. It’s all part of my Saturn return, of course. If you aren’t familiar, a Saturn return happens in your late 20s, and it’s when Saturn returns to the sign it was in when you were born, and it’s supposed to be when shit hits the fan. You figure out who you are or what path you’re supposed to go on. I think it’s just our way of putting a label on the tumultuous time that is going from emerging adulthood to just plain, ole adulthood. It’s true, I have arrived!

I think I’ve cracked the code on who I am and the path I’m supposed to go on. I spent most of my 20s trying to figure this out. I would ask everyone around me, “What should I do for a career?” and consult every personality test.

An astrologer once told me I need to be in a career that involves a lot of thinking and talking. My Myers-Briggs says I could be a musician or HR manager. My Enneagram says I could be an event planner or photographer. My Hogwarts house says I could be Voldemort or whatever. If these feel impersonal, it’s because they are. What could a test possibly tell me about what I should do?

Grad school was the first time I’ve been encouraged professionally to chase my particular talents and interests. This led to my thesis on teen drama fans and grief, three conference presentations, a paper I wrote for a journal with my undergrad mentor, two department awards, and the Distinguished Graduate Award at the university level. I love writing and teaching and researching and hosting and making zines. I think I’m really good at it all, too. But is this really that big of a surprise?

Luckily my mom and dad always told me I could do anything I wanted to do. So I've been unafraid to try things that interested me all along. I wrote a zine about a Webkinz frog when I was 7 for crying out loud!!!!

But it can be really scary to know if what you’re doing is right. There have been many times when I tried to grasp life with my hands and shake it and demand answers: Who am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to do? Am I making the right choices?

But the reason why I’ve never gotten answers is because I can’t grab life like it’s a Magic 8 Ball and get a simple solution. There are none to be had. I firmly believe things do not happen for a reason—this would be only advantageous for like five percent of the population if so; instead we have power to pick and choose and define what life looks like for us.

One of my favorite authors Emily Henry says she doesn't outline her books before she starts writing. She just gets to know her characters deeply and starts crafting the story starting from page one, surprising herself along the way. I'd like to think that's what life is. And the more you know your characters, or yourself, the better the story turns out.

It helps knowing I’m a Taurus sun in the 10th house ENFP Enneagram 7-with-an-8-wing Slytherin, but a personality test was never going to tell me what to do. But the more I know myself, the more I can trust in the story I'm creating.

This week we had a very special guest: husband of GRIEF AND MEDIA Jack Molmud! We discuss our anniversary (on 4/20), Netflix’s Something Very Bad is Going to Happen and its themes of relationship dynamics and mortality, and answer the following advice questions:

★ I’m feeling really torn about marriage and kids. The more books I read written by women the more it’s clear that basically most women throughout history regret getting married and having kids (even if they won’t say the words “I regret it” everything always gets way harder on the woman). Also you lose both your first and last name (“mom”, traditionally taking man’s last name) so like how can anyone agree to losing your whole identity when millions of women that came before us are a testament to the fact that it is most often a permanent downgrade in quality of life? But that being said I love kids I think they’re fantastic and I’d love to have some of my own and I love my boyfriend and I do see “forever” with him. So I’m losing it!!!!!!!!!!!! Help

I love saying stay tuned. Like, stay tuned!! You may know what I have in store, or you may not, but you must turn on my channel and find out. I find you can use this in any setting. The fact that I’m graduating in May? Stay tuned. Will I text you back? Stay tuned. Am I going to have a cheese quesadilla for dinner again? Stay tuned.

Something in particular I want you to stay tuned about: I’m launching a video series! This is coming at the end of April. I've done lots of brainstorming and even held an all hands Zoom meeting with friends for more ideas, which was helpful but also something I did because I found it funny to do so. I’m super excited to share more about the series in just a few weeks.

Side note: I got a new digital camera. I had a shit unbranded one that was $25 on Amazon that I bought three years ago and had chocolate caked on it because it was sitting on the bottom of my bag, untouched, for the past year next to a dark chocolate peanut butter cup from Trader Joe’s that I similarly forgot about. This new one is much better—it’s a Kodak so I can say the Pitbull lyric picture that with a Kodak repeatedly when it’s in use—and I vow that better care will be taken of it and also that I’ll take more pictures in general. These vows have taken form under my own roof: first, I keep it on my desk looking cute. Second, I keep turning it on just to take a photo of Dory and then shut it back off. You can hear the noise—do do-do do!—of me turning it on loud and clear; luckily for me, this doesn’t make her run. I think Dory acts like she doesn’t but in fact likes the camera.

Media I’ve been into lately:

• Perhaps this is more of a third space than media itself, but movies and seeing them at a theater!!!! I have a Regal unlimited membership, and I’m not afraid to use it! (I am, actually, but I’ve been making it more of a priority.) I saw The Drama—which I’ll likely discuss on my next grief support group—and Project Hail Mary—which you’ll never hear me talk about again. (Rocky was cool!) I love media, obviously, and I love watching it in community.

• Big Brother. I was previously a watcher, but I’ve been getting back into it. I rewatched season 16, which I love for many reasons but especially “My sister is a mega, mega pop star.” “…Amanda?” and have moved onto Big Brother 18 for nostalgia reasons. I am constantly chasing the high of binge watching Survivor and Big Brother seasons on the papasan chair in my room knowing I’m safe and sound because my mom is in the next room over. The re-creation of this in 2026 isn’t perfect, but it’s something.

• I just started Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking as it was assigned in my death and dying class, and I absolutely love it so far. I’m kind of a fraud, because I love reading but I haven’t had too much exposure to some of the big names like Didion. She describes the moment in which she lost her husband in the very first chapters of the book, and she says, “I remember thinking that I needed to discuss this with John” (p. 16). I’m still at the very beginning, but I’m in awe at the ways she describes familiar feelings about loss.

No grief support group this week, but catch up on my latest show below. I talked about the Summer House drama, why we love unpacking celebrity culture, and my ‘dating a friend’s ex’ framework. The framework in particular I’m excited about—husband of GRIEF AND MEDIA told me I should make it into a zine. Don’t give me any ideas!!!! Or, should I say: stay tuned.

This is a month late, but I was also on recently and had lots of (more??) fun as always. We discussed the pop girls, including Ariana Grande because I can’t help myself.

It’s been three months and I don’t know how his dad passed, and we haven’t talked about it much at all.
