"Booting issue: Lately, my macbook has been acting up. when it goes to sleep, it will crash and i have to boot it up again. [...]before the issue, the screen had faint white vignette effect. (my macbook is a 2013 pro model, i know it is old but i want one more year out of it.)"

Use First Aid in Disk Utility:
Perhaps it is going dead. If so, well, then it's time for a new Hard Drive. In Disk Utility, its sectors would be looked at and maybe reset to make it operate as it should.
A. Run First Aid in Disk Utility:
Check the health of the Volume
- Open: Applications menu
- Select: Utilities menu
- Select: [volume name]
- Click: the First Aid button
See if this is then accessible.
B. Try Mounting Recovery Mode:
See what happens when you go in to Disk Utility. See if the drive is mounted. If so, then click "Unmount" and then "Mount".
- Plug in: the hard drive:
- Hold Down: command + R upon boot
- Select: Disk Utility
- Select: [This Hard Drive]
- Click: Mount
- Click: the First Aid button
See if this is then accessible.
