Happy Monday everyone! Summer is finally coming to a close and I thought it was about time I mentioned one of my new favorite websites/apps - TheSkimm!
I've always hated reading the news. I mean, I completely loathe it. Whether it be another sad story about the state of our world or more information about politics that I'm pretending not to hear, the news has never been very important for me. However, as a student at Johns Hopkins, I just can't escape the news, since most people are constantly buzzing about something that happened this past week in the world. I thought, yeah maybe I don't want to listen to the news or read lengthy, boring news articles when I already have so many other things to do, and then I remembered. The glorious app I had seen advertised multiple times before.
Enter TheSkimm. Written by women, for women, TheSkimm is your abridged version to everything that's going on in the world, in easy to read context and with quite a relatable tone. Every single weekday I get an email in my inbox containing the Daily Skimm, with highlights about the news of the day and links to read more, if I'm so inclined. They cover politics, current events, and celebrity drama - whatever it is in the world that I might be interested in, they have it covered. Each piece is quick to read and breaks it down fast, so that you can jump in on that conversation with friends and stop feeling out of place.
Since getting TheSkimm, I've been more aware of things going on in the world, like Brexit, the Zika Virus, and tons more! It's a nice little piece of mail I look forward to getting every morning, and it's slowing making me interested in reading the news. If you're like me and are looking for a simple way to keep up with the crazy world around us, click here and you too can have this bundle of fun sent to your inbox!
On another note, we're a week into the Summer Olympics in Rio!! What's your favorite sport? I love watching the gymnasts!
