Recently, I had a friend tell me she was interested in listening to Phoebe Bridgers. If you haven’t been living under a rock, chances are that you’ve at least heard of her before. However, if you’ve never gotten around to listening, that’s okay, because I’m here to help.

When Olivia Rodrigo first released the tracklist for her latest album “GUTS” I excitedly texted my best friend over the track “ballad of a homeschooled girl,” gushing over the upcoming rock/pop song that I knew would become an anthem for homeschooled girls everywhere.  As I expected, the lyrics rang true as someone who left the high school culture for a routine of online classes and independent schoolwork.
