No trophies for me, but I would like to 100% it. I think I'm at 80-something right now. PS4 because I'm old... school...?

Hang on to the friends you've met along the way, and cultivate new ones by continuing to do stuff.

Just because college is over doesn't mean you can't go audition for stuff or hike with strangers anymore ❤️

Also, the thing about MG & YA is it’s not limited to a certain age range of readers. It’s like the games that are for 12 and up. Adults can still read and enjoy them.
