Obviously I couldn't leave Mibba forever, but I will be leaving over the summer. As some of you know, I am currently going into my second year of dental school (yay!), and I got an amazing volunteer opportunity that I couldn't pass up. A few of my classmates and I, along with a ton of other future and current doctors and dentists, will be spending our summer in various countries in Africa...

With midterms coming up for me and a lot of people getting into the testing phases of their schooling, I think it's important to remember to take a minute to just breathe sometimes. I see people getting worried about things far too often, especially things they don't need to be getting worried about.Tests are scary, definitely, especially when it is a really important one, but it's also important...

Hello, everyone!As you may or may not know, I'm the writer for the Mibba Magazine's Fandom Spotlight column, and I'm currently trying to decide on which fandoms to feature next. I've run out of ideas from the top of my head, so I've decided to ask everyone to pick which fandoms they'd like to see featured next! I've already done quite a few, which I'll list at the bottom of this blog, so you can't...

Hello Mibba-sphere! I'm busy competing in this month's edition of the Comment Monsters contest and, ya know, it's not going so great. I'm pretty far behind right now, but with all of August left, I'm hoping that I'll catch up!I'm not the biggest fan of browsing the stories page for stuff to read because there's just too many things that aren't that well written don't catch my fancy. Ahem.Honestly,...

So, if you clicked on this, I'm guessing we're friends, right? If yes, then yay!So, hello friends! I've decided to do Comment Monsters again this month! Last time I did it, it was super duper fun, but I came in second place and this time I want to come in first! I'm pretty determined since I had a bit of time before school starts XDBasically, since I'm going to be commenting on stuff anyway, I...

So, I have this weird writing problem... and I'm just sitting here wondering if I'm the only one who feels this way. I'm gonna tell you, but you can't laugh. Here it goes.When I first start a story (like for the very first time where it's just this little idea and no one knows about it) everything goes so well. I can just sit there and write and be happy and it's like I don't have a care in the...

Oh, hello there, how are you doing today? Fabulous? Me too!Right now, I'm busy competing in the Comment Monsters Contest, which ends in something like 2 days. I don't know. Calendars are hard.I'm 91 comments in right now and I've basically exhausted all my resources as far as looking for stories to comment on. To be honest, I'm kind of sick of looking through the main story page for stuff to...

So, yesterday I posted a blog talking about how much I hated the comment swap, so instead of messing with that whole thing and the people who abuse it, I decided to do something different! I'm just going to post this blog so you guys can offer up the stories they want critiqued!But, get this... I am only offering up actual critiques. If you just want dinky comments, that's not what I'm going for....

Well, well, Mibba's comment swap... We meet again.As I'm sure just about everyone knows, Mibba has that fancy little comment swap thing, and it's, well, fancy. Some people like it. Some people don't. I'm wishy-washy and a little bit of both. Read on if you want to read Maddi's thoughts galore!The main reason I use the comment swap is because I like to give out constructive criticism, and it's hard...

I'm 21. I'm in college. I live in the United States. Needless to say, I've seen plenty of creepy things in my day. Plenty. But absolutely nothing tops what I saw today. And nothing probably ever will.It all started when I showed up to my Anatomy and Physiology lab, which is already gross enough. We spend our time dissecting dead cats and looking at gross things that haunt my nightmares more than...

Hello, you awesome superheroes. Maddi, here. Starting the superheroes off right.Tomorrow starts Mibba's official superhero day, but with time zones and all that, Katie's oh so intelligent self got the US started a day early, basically because Nicole tricked her. Whatevs.So, everyone needs to start dressing up as their favorite superhero/villian/all that jazz.I obviously picked the best superhero...

This is going to seem so weird.But I am so serious right now.So serious, though.My biggest pet peeve in the whole wide entire great huge world...I cannot stand when there is no price on something.My sister, mom, and I like to go to yard sales and such to look for random little gems, and let me tell you, there is nothing I hate more than when there is not a price on something. I attack that shit...

Hello, you precious little mermaids As you may or may not know, I am part of the wonderful Mibba Magazine staff. I am one of the many fabulous reviewers, as well as the writer for the column Mibbian of the Week, and I am starting a brand new column that I need your help with!What I need from you guys is pretty simple, and you don't even to know about the column to do it...And you would really just...

I don't know about you guys, but I think Mibba is lucky enough to have some of the best staff on the planet. These people aren't just amazing; they're volunteers. The lovely members Mibba's staff doesn't get paid for the work they do, and they simply do it out of the kindest of their heart, with no reward, and if that doesn't say a lot about the content of their character, I don't know what else...

Well, would you look at that.. I just blew through my organic chem exam, so now I have a huge chunk of time I need to kill between now and my next class. What luck!Yesterday, I filled my day off with writing reviews and ended up writing ten of them. I don't care what anyone says; I'm super proud of that that's a lot. Yes.So, what better way to fill my break today than by writing more reviews?! I...

As I said yesterday, I had the day off today, so I decided to fill my time with writing reviews for all you lovely Mibbians! My goal was to get ten and I just hit that a few minutes ago, so I am super happy. It took a while, but I did it, and I had a blast reading your stories and writing reviews for them. I may even write a few more before the night is over if I get some more recs!I read a lot of...

Guys. Guys. Guys.My micro class got cancelled for tomorrow, which means I have the whole day off! This never ever happens so, you know, yay for me!Agenda for tomorrow includes: visit Katie in her cave, finish my lab for chem, and write my updates for Sunshine and Indian Summer. Super exciting, right? I basically have nothing to do. Yes.So, instead of doing something productive like getting a life...

I'm gonna start this off by saying that I watched the new Evil Dead last night and all most peed my pants. That was terrifying. Only see it if you want to cry. Forever Back to the point of this blog..There are actually two things I need from you guys! What, what?First, I need some Mibbians to interview for my column, Mibbian of the Week. My overall theme for my life this month is best friends, so...

I'm sure I'm not the only one who could use a little cheering up right now, so I thought it would be fun to confess all the ridiculously embarrassing and somewhat funny things I've done, because Jesus knows there are a lot of them. I can't be tamed.☸ My freshman year of high school, I went to my first ever real party and we were doing a haunted trail walk. I got scared and peed my pants. I for...

Well guys, it's time for another update on the love of my life!Until this morning, Katie had been on a heavy dose of drugs to help with the pain, so she has been pretty much in and out of consciousness since the surgery. She didn't understand anything that was going on, and we weren't even able to explain to her what had happened, so she really had no idea what was going on, but she wasn't ever...
