Life of a Random

It's that time of the year again. School. (It's actually slightly terrifying that I'm a sophomore already.) Last school year   really messed up my blogging flow. I had been getting into a good rhythm (summer of 2014), but moving to a new college (2 hours away from home I might add) and taking new classes-- It was stressful. And when I’m stressed out about school, reading is the furthest thing from my mind. I’m a nerd like that. But blogging is a huge part of my life. It has been for the past few years. And I don’t want to stop anytime soon. SO, here’s my new plan that I will try my hardest to stick to. It involves a few, small changes. 1. I will now be posting, at the minimum, once a week. Now, if I have time I will try to slip in another post in the middle of the week around… say Wednesday. But that’s not a given. What IS going to happen is that there will be a post on the blog every Sunday. 2. Many of these posts will be pre-written and scheduled. I...

Rules: 1. Thank the person who nominated you and link back to their blog.  2. List the rules and display the award.  3. Add 7 facts about yourself.  4. Nominate 15 other bloggers (or however many you like) and let them know on their blogs! 5. Display the award logo and follow the blogger who nominated you (but don't feel obligated, I'm not about that life). Thank you sooo much Gabs (from My Full Bookshelf Reviews ) for giving me this award. I am a horrible person because I actually got this nomination in March . I know, I know. 7 Facts About Me: 1. I have bad knees. Not even kidding, especially my right knee. I can't even run too much because both knee caps have a tendency to slip out of place and then back into place. It's super gross, I know. It's also super painful. Not fun. (I injured my right knee really bad the first week of college and had to limp around with a swollen knee.) 2. I have a snapback obsession. Of course it's h...

Artist Spotlight  is a brand-new feature that I'm going to be doing on here every once in a while that spotlights an artist (probably one that is relatively new or undiscovered) and shows off their amazing art work. Whenever possible, I will attach links to the websites where these artists display their art skills. Make sure to check them out and show them some love! Tell us a little bit about yourself. Where are you from? Do you like chocolate (The right answer is yes)? YES, dark chocolate for me! Haha, on a more serious term, I was born in Montreal, grew up in Costa Rica, and currently study in the UK. What kind of art do you do? Currently I'm studying Graphic Design, but I'm a huge doodler-- can't have a pen without my hand itching to draw. I really like painting with oils or doing some print making if I have some free time. How long have you been doing it? Have you always done the same kind? I'm halfway through my second year in a Graphic Desi...

It's time for a new TBR post! Crossing my fingers that I can read all, or at least most, of the books I choose. Also, just a quick note about future blogging. With school starting up again soon, I've been trying to think up a posting schedule that will help me keep blogging steadily without taking a big amount of time up. For the time being, I think I've settled on one post per week but more if I can handle it. When it gets closer to school starting again I'll update you all on which day you should expect posts and all that jazz. :) This month's TBR pile is: The Potter's Lady by Judith Miller The Chapel Wars by Lindsey Leavitt A Darker Shade of Magic by V. E. Schwab Nimona by Noelle Stevenson Compulsion by Martina Boone **A Mystery Read** The idea of including a "mystery read" just came to me as I was typing this post up. Basically, I want you  to give me book recommendations and I'll pick a book to read from them....

This month was kind of crazy because of all the school things and the big road trip, thus there weren't as many posts this month and I didn't read as many books. Many good things happened though! I got to see BTS in Chicago . I passed my CLEP exam. I got tanner. ;) And now I'm going to recap July with you. As always there are many songs that I fell in love with this month. It's music. It's gonna happen. This is such a funky, rockin' summer song. And, of course, Big Bang is as crazy and fun as usual. (*cough* T.O.P are you on drugs *cough*) Seventeen just debuted this year in May. THERE ARE SO MANY. I am awful at remembering names. How do I file away 13 names in my brain? (I actually have by now. I was sucked in so fast oh my gosh.) I love this song. Especially the rapping.  So, I don't know how pre-debut this is (a lot, looking at Hansol's face) but, guys, this is pre-debut . Yes, it's Seventeen again. I have no regr...

The K-pop concert was only one  of the exciting things I got to do in Chicago. I also met up with Sophia from Ravens and Writing Desks !! It was so much fun and I have pictures. ;) The Saturday after the K-Pop concert, I got up around 7:20 to get ready to meet up with Sophia at 8. The hotel room we stayed in was so. freezing. cold. And the blanket was kind of little for a full or queen or whatever size the bed was. My sister is a blanket-hogger. I never forgive people who steal sleep hours away from me. *villainous cackle* So, I got ready. Got dressed. Sophia and I had already been messaging back and forth, making sure we were still meeting up at the same time and telling each other what we were wearing so we wouldn't accidentally try to hug strangers. Sometimes my brain doesn't process picture to real-life transitions okay. My mom wanted to meet Sophia too so she went down to the hotel lobby with me. And, you know what, it wasn't hard to recognized ...
