Ranking Every Book I Read in 2021

Ranking Every Book I Read in 2021

2021 was a big year of reading for me! I stepped outside my comfort level and read books from new genres, took up some classics, and discovered new favorites. I discovered my favorite writer (Michael Crichton) and Waterstones, and those things alone make it a pretty successful year if I do say so myself. I [...]

The Best Books I Read This Year: 2020

In 2020, my goal was to read 45 books. I fell behind a little bit because of school, and then quarantine happened. You would think that having nothing to do for months on end would have given me plenty of time to read, but alas, it did not happen. My mental capacity to read was [...]

Shaving my Head, Learning to Roller Skate, and other Quarantine Things

2020 has been a year like no other. I never thought that right when I was starting to spend more time with friends and family that I would then have to social distance from everyone, but here we are. I'm an introvert, so staying alone in my apartment for weeks on end isn't as bad [...]

The Best Books I Read This Year: 2019

In 2019, my goal was to read 50 books. I kept on track until the end of the year when I had some personal stuff happen, but I still managed to read a total of 42 books. I was stressed at first about not making my goal but my therapist reminded me that reading is [...]

Life Update + 4th Quarter Goals

We only have 25% of 2019 left, which is INSANE to me! Holy how?? In three months, we will be in a new decade.. At the beginning of the year, I decided to split my "New Years Resolutions" into "quarters" or chunks of four so that they're easier to manage and to keep me accountable. [...]

Life Update + 2nd Quarter Goals

Life Update + 2nd Quarter Goals

At the beginning of the year, I made some overall goals for 2019. Instead of doing "New Years Resolutions", though, I decided to set quarterly goals to keep myself more accountable. These quarterly goals were more achievable things I aimed to accomplish in three months, which made me more likely to get them done. I'm [...]

The Best Books I Read This Year: 2018

One of the things I'm most thankful for this year is the gift of reading. I fell in love with reading again after being apart from it for so long, and it's been amazing. I've read some great books this year, and I can't wait to see what amazing things I'm able to read in [...]

What I Learned From My Fourth Semester of College

Usually at the end of every semester, I write out a list of things I learned during the course of the last few months. This semester is different, though. I've been in school for two and a half years now and I've never encountered a semester as difficult as this one. My first semester was [...]

My First Journey to Hogwarts

My First Journey to Hogwarts

Growing up, I never read or watched Harry Potter. Some of my friends around me loved it and talked about it, but my family wasn't a huge fan of it so I never had much of an interest in reading the series. My middle school self just stuck with the Hunger Games. The summer after [...]
