Senior Year

I start my senior year of high school on Monday. Despite the fact that I'm going to have more going on than ever this year and I already have a ton of deadlines looming, I'm not scared. I'm honestly more excited than anything else. My junior year was really hard for me academically and personally and had a huge impact on me.

This summer has been exactly what I needed and lately I've been feeling like I'm finally myself again. I'm excited for school for the first time in a while and I feel like I've rediscovered what it was about myself that made me a straight-A student my first two years of high school and hopefully I'll be able to get those same grades again during my senior year even in my AP Calculus class.

School makes me more motivated so I'm looking forward to getting back to studying and hopefully being able to put more energy into this blog.

I needed to give my brain room to breathe. That's part of why I'm not majoring in English or writing even though I love both subjects. I love psychology just as much and I wanted to learn new things. So for a while I didn't write anything for myself. I've never read as much as the year in like tenth grade where I read 108 books. Even after I graduated high school and had more time on my hands. I started working a lot and have never had that same time and I've also picked up new activities (gaming, knitting, watching things I never got to living in the woods) that take up time that could otherwise be spent reading. And I'm mostly okay with that.  I think I've l

Spring Reads 2019

I'm coming up to the end of my semester which is a relief. The most exciting part is that I'll finally have time to read! I'm also planning on finally playing some of the video games that the Internet and my boyfriend have been telling me to play for forever.  I thought I would share with y'all the books I'm most looking forward to reading as soon as my exams are over.  Also, for the sake of transparency, the links in this post are affiliate links to Amazon.

I also went to the library and bookstore and picked up some books. image from goodreads Unmade by Sarah Rees Brennan From Amazon: Kami is linked to two boys.
