Hey y'all! It's been a while since I've done a q&a, so today I'm sitting down and answering your questions!

It's (the day before) my 24th birthday! As is tradition on C'est La Me, I break down the 24 lessons I have learned in 24 years on this Earth. Many lessons occurred during the last year, which was the first year I wasn't in school, the first year working full-time as a magazine writer all year and the first year my life wasn't pre-planned and could be whatever I wanted it to be. I cover finance, friendship, career, fashion, relationships, health and wellness, dating, boundaries, self-worth and confidence, and a lot more in these lessons, so I hope you're ready to dig in!

All the single ladies...are tired. In this episode, I give y'all a vulnerable look into how I'm feeling in this weird dating world and what's been going through my mind recently, namely: how does anyone meet a guy in person these days? Should I get on a dating app even though I don't want to? Should it be Tinder, Hinge, Bumble or something else? Should I even be worrying about this right now? Am I the problem? I have a lot of thoughts and very few answers, but hopefully, this episode makes y'all feel less alone if you're struggling.

In the last Countdown to Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) episode before my album review, I talk with Alecksis, a longtime fan who has been part of the online Swiftie community since she was 11.

We talk about her love for all things Taylor Swift, how she gets such aesthetic photos for her Instagram, how she keeps up her content schedule, her enduring love for 1989, meeting Taylor in 2014, her hopes for Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) and more!
