Month: September 2020

reviewing every book I read this summer (all 29!)

9 / 13 / 2012 / 16 / 21

I’ve always loved reading, but this year I rekindled my love of books and I’ve had so much extra time for it. I’m honestly so sad that I’m so busy with school right now because I barely have time to read and I miss it so much. This summer, I was on a reading kick. I seriously read so much. If you remember my last book post, I mentioned that I was getting into mysteries and thrillers, and I dove headfirst into this genre over the summer. I also read some cute rom-com style books, a few faith related books, and also got into dystopian books! I’ve read 49 books so far this year, and here’s what I read this summer!

fall 2020 playlist

9 / 10 / 20

Summer is definitely my favorite season, but fall is a close second. I just love the coziness and happiness of pumpkin carving, leaves changing, holidays, just all the autumn vibes. It’s definitely not fall here yet, the high is literally 93 today, but it’s been a little cooler in the mornings and the Halloween candy is out at Kroger, so I’m officially in the fall mood. I make a fall playlist almost every year, and this one is a mix of so many different songs. I feel like last year’s was full of more slow, sad songs, and this one is a little more upbeat. It’s a mix of more alternative artists, like Lumineers or Mumford and Sons, older music like Tiny Dancer, and then some newer songs from more pop artists. I love putting this on when I’m driving around town or in the background as I’m doing homework or cleaning around the house!

giving up control + depending on God

9 / 8 / 209 / 8 / 20

If I can sum up what the Lord has been teaching me over this past year in one word, it would be dependency. It’s easy to say that as Christians we are dependent on God, but I never really knew what that looked like until the past few months. Going into my freshman year, I had no idea what to expect, and I was filled with big expectations and a filtered view of what I thought college would be. I guess I only focused on the good things that people told me about college and glazed over the difficult things: mountains of homework, roommate situations, friendship struggles, homesickness, and just adjusting to a totally new life away from home.

September Goals

9 / 4 / 20

Hi everyone, long time no post! I really didn’t mean to, but I realized I didn’t post at all the whole month of August. It was a reallyyyyy busy month for me, between my last two weeks of summer juggling work and prepping to move in, then starting my sophomore year of college and trying to get in a good routine to balance my schoolwork. I hate being inconsistent, whether it’s on my blog, instagram, or youtube channel, but it can be so hard to balance it all while also doing schoolwork and taking time to read and unplug, as well. Anyway, I have been really excited for the month of September and I thought I would share my ten goals for the month! Even though it’s still sooo hot outside, September signals the start of fall for me, which I’m so excited for. Overall, I really want to get more in the fall mood and focus on getting into a healthy routine with college classes!
