Back again… I hate writing these

Aww did you miss me?

Probably not but I am back anyway!

I took the last two months off because I wanted to journey into self-discovery and needed to expand myself to have better content for my followers.

WRONG

I just totally forgot to write posts for this blog for two months.

School started kicking my bum. I tried so hard to get up and open WordPress every day. But eventually, I said F that and full-heartedly focused on finals.

That is good right? As long as I am doing something productive. The real question is what have I been doing this past few weeks I have been out of school and not posting.

Well, to name a few things…

I went to a Bachelorette Party which was super fun. One of the nights, we dressed as holidays and I was Valentine’s Day!

My Valentine’s get up

I went to a Her Campus Gala. My school’s chapter really did it up and I looked so nice! I was also named Editor for next year’s club.

School ended and I went on a 3-day road trip to Montana for my friend’s wedding. I was a bridesmaid and I had a fun time.

I go back and had to move all of my belongings into the bigger room in our house. My old roommate moved out. I took her old room since it was bigger than the room I was in.

My remaining roommate and I decided to deep clean the house while we searched for a new roommate. The house is all clean. We even found a new roommate (who hopefully works out well for us)!

Before this though, she and I went around looking at 2 bedroom apartments. All of them had been out of our price range. They did not have the amenities we get at our house for much cheaper.

I then started my new work schedule. I have been moved to working on weekends.

I semi-permanentaly colored my hair to this cool pink.

I then had to run home for my best friend’s birthday and my great-grandma’s 100th birthday! That is a once-in-a-lifetime party.

While I am not working on M-W, I have started Doordashing for some extra cash. A girl has to pay for her obsessive book-buying habits somehow right?

The PNW also decided to have a three-day heatwave, where I door dashed in the 113-degree weather. My car overheated the next day and I learned how to put coolant in my car. I then sat in my room the whole next day letting my precious car rest after a bad day.

It has finally calmed down and is only at 84 degrees today. I am settled into my new work schedule and am writing this from the patio at my workplace.

Life is really good right now. Since I have been gone, I have finished 5 books (all in the past three weeks). For you senior readers, that does not seem impressive but usually, during these breaks, I don’t read at all.

I made this Tik Tok about one of the books I read.

I have a really good friend in town that I hang out with. I have a boy who treats me very kindly (not a boyfriend though so don’t ask). I have a fantastic roommate who is getting better at cleaning. I have a steady income.

And I am back to blogging.

I have even planned out the next few weeks on this blog. I know I say that every time but I really did it this time. I got a little Google Calendar that I filled. It has every blog post I want to write and when to post it.

I also have all of my posts written out for the next two weeks.

So please don’t go anywhere. My best is still yet to come but it is coming.

I am looking to grow going forward in this blog.

Anyways, happy summer everyone! I am excited about this summer.

As always, thanks for reading,

Life Update: Cause I didn’t know what else to write about…

SO, this week has been pretty boring for me.

It is spring break for my school, but because of the pandemic, I stayed at my apartment.

I am basically doing a Marvel movie marathon.

I am watching them all in release date order, which I have never done before, and it is pretty fun. but, the week has left me with little time to read, hence the small amount of posts.

I got straight As in all of my classes this last quarter. I think this was one of the hardest quarters I have had. The classes were so boring and online school is really testing my patience. Thank god we are almost done with that.

I have been doing a lot of research into when I can get my vaccine. I want it so badly. My co-workers and I are planning on starting hot yoga once we all get the vaccines.

I am excited for next quarter which will start on Tuesday. I just paid for my last textbook and for my tuition. After this, I am going to just peruse my courses that are uploaded on Canvas.

I have 200 pages left to go in the Throne of Glass series. I am super excited about finishing it. I have not had this strong of a connection with a series since I read The Maze Runner or Harry Potter. I am just ready for it to be done but sad to see it go.

I did not have a lot to update you guys on but I needed something to post for this week. So hope you had a good time with this tiny post.

As always, thanks for reading,

Welp…

So this week was a total bust.

I had nothing to post this entire week. This post isn’t even going to be something for people to read more just me following my goal of posting once a week.

I have been having a hard time this month with my reading. I have only finished one book this month. I am currently reading three books and I just can’t seem to finish them. I also had no inspiration to write this week. So, I just needed to write something and so I am making this short post.

I could not think of anything to post this week. My normal posts of WWW and Top Ten Tuesday were a bust cause I didn’t know what to put for the topic for TTT. WWW would be the same for the past few weeks in a row. I think this weekend (hopefully but probably not) I want to just sit down and bust out a few posts to have on the back burner just in case I need them later.

I will say that I just finished Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. It was a really good book. I may or may not write a review about this. It is kind of old and was something popular when I was in middle school so I don’t think it is relevant enough to post about it anymore. But, who knows. If I cant come up with anything for next week I might.

Anyways, that is just how my week has been going. It’s been a pretty lazy month so I am trying to get back into the groove.

As always, thanks for reading,
