Life of a Random

Pages: 313 Published: Aug. 1, 2016 Genre(s): YA, Fantasy, Mythology Source: NetGalley/eARC Cover Rating:  🌟🌟🌟 (Ehhh... I'm in LOVE with the wings, but I think the fonts could use some tweaking and I'm not a huge fan of the empty spaces.) There were several things that made me want to read this book... the fact that it has a blurb that never once actually mentions the main character's name. WHAT. Insanity. Who is this person? I need to know now.  There's a labyrinth. I mean, labyrinths practically equate to adventure if we're being honest here. And the angel wings on the cover. Angel wings are cool. Really cool. All that and what I'm trying to say is--I pretty much knew nothing about this book before reading it. Which leads me to saying it. was. amazing. Everything about it was unexpected and quite uniquely original. PROS: The history of the mc's civilization. If anyone starts mentioning Greek mythology and de...

I talk more about what this whole challenge is here (basically a daily tumblr challenge) and how I'm trying to use it to get motivation to sketch more.  Day 1 Prompt: Post a link to a song that makes you feel happy. I decided to choose not one but three  hehe. The top two encompass more of a feeling than really having awesome lyrics. Tear Me Down is my kick-butt-and-own-the-world anthem. One of my favorite things to do is take a walk with music blasting in my ears and this is the  song to power walk to. (The playlist buttons link to their Youtube music videos.) What are your favorite happy songs? TELL ME.

A little while ago, I found a tumblr tag called 31 Days of Self-Care . It involves daily activities that calm you down or cheer you up, all through the month of December. The whole idea is just really original and nice! Aaand the fact that it has a few drawing challenges thrown in there isn't bad either. This is my first post for this challenge (obviously I'm starting extremely late but I wanted to do it on my own time whenever I could anyway). Prompt: W hat’s your happy place? Reply here or illustrate it. If you decide to do this challenge too, leave a link in the comments because I would LOVE to come check it out. 

I'm back from college for winter break! GET HYPE. I'm really excited to watch my favorite shows, read, do my own art projects...sleep maybe. But I'm not here to talk about sleeping, no matter how much I love it. I'm here to bring you all the things I've learned about being an adult. Which are a lot obviously. I'm a pro. 1. Bread molds way too fast. Except for the cheap kind that doesn't really even smell like bread. THAT pretty much lasts forever.  2. For the first few weeks, college cafeteria food is not as bad as they said, and yet somehow three months later becomes just as bad as they said.  3. Meat is way too expensive. And complicated. Who has time for seasoning, marinating,... whatever the heck you call it when you have to soften the meat? Isn't meat already soft? If it's not, then doesn't that mean you probably shouldn't try to cook it anyway? 4. Cooking in general takes way too much time. Time you could be using...
