Some days I really can't feel motivated to pick up a book and I'll just read middle grade stuff that's below my age and maturity level, like Diary of a Wimpy Kid and stuff.

Same. I used to read all the time, but now I don't really remember the last book I read that wasn't required for school…

I just haven't had the time with schoolwork, the musical, etc.

Another odd thing about me, I literally hoard candy without even realizing it. As much as I love sweets, on days like Easter, Halloween, Christmas, etc. I often get more than I can eat without feeling sick, so I shove the leftovers in a box hidden in my sock drawer, that way I have something to cheer me up if I'm ever having a bad day (although I almost always forget about it). Well this morning, I came to the realization that I have an entire shipping box filled to the brim with candies, a massive mental list of how long each type of candy lasts in storage _{(Pro tip, don't ever store maple nuts, not even for an hour. They may last a while but they make all the other candies taste weird and it isn't worth it)} , a second box stuffed with so many lollipops that I don't know what to do with them, a few things some might consider "cursed foods" here and there, a complete system of how to organize them so I eat the older or unwrapped candies first, and a perfectly placed sock laid out so if anyone ever gets into the stash, I'd know.

…I don't even like sweets that much

That's strangely awesome… Your future candy-loving children will love you, Ella.

My little siblings already love/hate me because the lollipop box doesn't have the same sock-security system, so they often get into it without my knowledge-

Classic younger siblings… My sister has yet to realize where I keep my junk food, except my five tins of butter cookies leftover from Christmas…

I thought I do this but then I kept reading.

My sister does this, she has gallon bags filled with candy leftover from Valentine's Day and Halloween. Me, I eat mine pretty quickly like the chocolate goblin I am.
