December Favorites

I don't always do monthly favorites posts, mostly because I'm not good at being consistent. However, I've been enjoying a lot of things lately and this is partially because I finished my first semester of college a couple of weeks ago and have a bit more time to do things other than my calculus homework. So really, the end of the semester is my first favorite thing. This was a rough semester, but I managed to come out of it with only one B and honestly, I'm a bit shocked but really, who am I to argue? 



I'm going to start by talking about the wonderful Hannah Witton because my discovery of her is what made me want to write this post in the first place. You can find her blog here and you can find her YouTube channel here. She is wonderful and she talks about feminism, sex ed, books, and all sorts of other wonderful things. She loves Harry Potter and mostly films proper sit-down videos, but also films travel vlogs, which, while not typically being my thing, I find wonderful. 



I've also been loving YouTuber Lucy Moon. She has lots of artsy videos, weekly vlogs, and favorites videos, but lately she's been talking more about feminism, her body image, and her relationship with alcohol. Overall, I just find her compelling as a person and would watch any of her videos. She and Hannah also make a podcast called Bangin Book Club with their friend Leah. She also occasionally posts cover videos and original music. 




Recently I started listening to Witch, Please, a podcast about Harry Potter hosted by feminist literary critics Hannah McGregor and Marcelle Kosman. They're rereading the Harry Potter books and rewatching the movies and then analyzing and discussing them while eating chips, drinking wine, and being generally hilarious. You can find their website here. Every episode is hilarious and because I'm living at home over the break, my commute to work is an hour long and they make my commute much more enjoyable. You should all go give them a listen. I really wish I could be friends with Hannah and Marcelle. 

What things have you guys been loving lately?

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.
