A Week in the Life 2nd Edition


I know my last post was a Week in the Life post too, but don’t worry. We’ll be getting back to regular book reviews soon, I promise.

I wanted to write this post looking toward the week to come instead of looking back at the one I just finished because last week was a mess for me. I was sick in addition to having a lot going on at school and there were a lot of other, more personal things that I’m not going to get into because they’re not interesting to anyone but me.

I’ve already started completing my college applications but this week marks when I need to get even more serious about them because I’m applying Early Action to several colleges and those applications are due in just over a month. Specifically, I need to start asking teachers for recommendations and drafting all my essays. Are any of you applying this year or next year? Are any of you currently in university? I’d love to hear about your experiences in the comments.

Book of the Week: The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Adieh. I just started it yesterday but you can expect a review soon.
Soundtrack of the Week: Badlands by Halsey If you haven’t heard it yet, check it out.

If you have any recommendations or requests for me, let me know!

This entailed writing and reading and talking about writing for three hours every day. After graduation, I purposefully took a break from writing. I still loved it, but I was so spent. 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. These don't change the price for you, but I do get a percentage of the cost of anything you buy through the link.

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.
