January Favorites

My first favorite of the month isn't a product, but rather something I've been doing. For just a couple weeks, I've been learning to code using Khan Academy. Right now I'm learning Java Script and I'm really enjoying it. The way Khan Academy teaches it is kind of childish but it's really easy to understand.

I'd been playing around with the idea of learning to code for a while because my school offers a Computer Science Principles class that I wanted to take. (I ended up taking AP Calculus because of college applications, but I've ended up really liking Calculus.) My boyfriend does programming and while he's not the reason I started doing it, it's nice to be able to better understand something he loves so much. 

Favorite Books
Passenger by Alexandra Bracken (I've already posted a review of it on the blog)
Any Other Girl by Rebecca Phillips
The Fixer by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
The Naturals Series by Jennifer Lynn Barnes 

Music
Acoustic Covers (especially Megan Davies)
Alessia Cara
Blue Neighborhood by Troye Sivan

I also apparently really love Mortal Kombat, which I did not expect, but it's great playing it with my boyfriend and his little brothers.

January was all in all a pretty packed and strange month, but I'm really looking forward to the rest of the year.

I Forgot How to Write

                                    Photo by  NeONBRAND  on  Unsplash In high school, I studied Creative Writing. 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.
