    As a writer and image editor for Bored Panda, Giedrė crafts posts on many different topics to push them to their potential. She's also glad that her Bachelor’s degree in English Philology didn’t go to waste (although collecting dust in the attic could also be considered an achievement of aesthetic value!) Giedrė is an avid fan of cats, photography, and mysteries, and a keen observer of the Internet culture which is what she is most excited to write about. Since she's embarked on her journalistic endeavor, Giedrė has over 600 articles under her belt and hopes for twice as much (fingers crossed - half of them are about cats).

    I mean, everyone knows that almost all of the Olympians do weed. Demeter is their dealer, let's be honest. Ares does cocaine and Aphrodite does ecstasy. Dionysus obviously is an alcoholic. Hestia smokes weed too, but only sometimes. Thank y'all for coming to my TEDTalk. See y'all next week.
