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).

We are all different. And this is why people feel free to comment and share their experience. After reading the article, here is mine: Crosswords, sudoku, tv and reading Bored Panda.

I do crosswords too! That's actually helped a lot. I used to do drawing and sewing, but it's become such an autopilot thing that I end up thinking even more about the stuff that makes my anxiety fester...
