Life of a Random

Whoaaaa. I can't believe it's the end of June already. The time's passed by so quickly...too quickly for me *sigh* But hey, I've done some pretty awesome things (and awesome things are coming) and that's more than I manage to make my lazy (antisocial) butt do some summers. favorite quotes favorite songs Dame - Shaggy ft. Kat Deluna Haven't Had Enough - Marianas Trench Dope - BTS L.I.U. - Boys Republic I Feel Good - EXID TBR Since I didn't set a TBR pile for this month, this isn't so much an update as just a general summing up. I'm pretty happy with the amount of books I read, considering I've been studying during this summer too. :) Red Queen  by Victoria Aveyard.  ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪  You know, I can understand people not liking this. But even though there were cliche elements (Hi, popular Hunger Game themes) and it was kind of slow in the beginning, I loved the characters and their development and the p...

I'm popping in to do a quick tag that Lily from Lily's Notes in the Margins said allll  her readers could do. So I'm doing it. BEHOLD, the Extraordinary Means Blog Tag. 1. I would give up the internet for a month for a signed first edition of this book. *chokes* WHAT. Did those words just come out of your mouth? Disclaimer: Just because I'm doing this tag doesn't mean I would ever  willingly go without internet for a month. Ever. But, IF this were to happen, I would want a Pride and Prejudice copy.  2. I would give up pizza for a year if it meant I could sit next to this author on a long plane ride. (I don't think the people who made this tag understand my life. Or pizza for that matter.) Susan Dennard, the author of the Something Strange and Deadly series, is seriously hilarious on Twitter. Not that that even makes this situation realistic because I don't talk to people. It's dangerous. I've heard it causes stress and pain.   3. I would ...

I'm in a really busy time right now, so despite me wanting  to write a review for Red Queen  (because omg what even is this brilliance) and loads of other posts of awesomeness.... The sad truth is that this is a really busy week or couple of weeks, and I have a ton of things to do.  I have an exam in my online class, plus regular homework.  I have a cover commission.  I have studying for a CLEP exam.  *sigh* Yurp.  I shall leave you with this.  And the promise that I will be back.  After I conquer my first test of the summer semester. (This also makes me realize that I should probably have posts like pre-scheduled and pre-written and all the jazz because I get busy but I still want you guys to come by and comment. Any suggestions on genius ways of brainstorming for post ideas?)

(So, if you didn't read my intro post about the above meme-y looking thing, it's something that I made to cover all the random days I feel like talking about my life and blabbering about songs and weather and things. It's probably not original but the image is, so if you want to use it please credit me. :) ) I'm finally back to posting semi-regularly! Three cheers for me *grins* It's been a while since I posted one of my random, long-winded "me" posts, so I thought I'd bring you up to speed on what I've been doing and how things are going. Songs I've Been Listening To: Party Rock  by Boys Republic. This is the perfect song to jam out to. It has an awesome beat and is THE summer song. It's on replay all  the time.  Go Away by 2NE1. Also has a good beat (I love my beats man). Girl power all the way.  Fill Me In  by Austin Mahone ft. Pia Mia. This one's just so mellow and I love both their voices.  Weather ...

Dorothy Must Die   by Danielle Paige Publication Date: April 1, 2014 Publisher: HarperCollins Format: hardcover Source: my sister Pages: 452 ~~ I didn't ask for any of this. I didn't ask to be some kind of hero. But when your whole life gets swept up by a tornado - taking you with it - you have no choice but to go along, you know? Sure, I've read the books. I've seen the movies. I know the song about the rainbow and the happy little bluebirds. But I never expected Oz to look like this. To be a place where Good Witches can't be trusted, Wicked Witches may just be the good guys, and winged monkeys can be executed for acts of rebellion. There's still a yellow brick road - but even that's crumbling. What happened? Dorothy. They say she found a way to come back to Oz. They say she seized power and the power went to her head. And now no one is safe. My name is Amy Gumm - and I'm the other girl from Kansas. I've been recruited by the Re...

I'm popping a super important quiz on you today. Be prepared for doom and sadness. Nahhh, just kidding. I'm actually  just posting a quick poll on here today because I'm super curious about when you read my posts. I went to a small business seminar this spring when I was at college and it really posed some interesting facts and questions about social networking. Apparently, the time I post and where I post affects things more than I would've thought. So if you have time, please please please  take a few seconds to answer this poll. It would make me so happy *flutters eyelashes* and also I offer virtual chocolate. Yeah. That's right baby. Create your own user feedback survey

I'm working on some exciting future posts, but today I want share some quotes with you. I've gone through some times this past year that were really challenging and tough, and when I wasn't feeling the greatest, some quotes really helped. And God was pretty awesome too. :) Even in the best of times, quotes are life. SO, I SHALL GIVE YOU QUOTES. Resistance is futile.  (Warning: This is probably going to be very long. I'm a serious pinner. #swag)     If there's one thing I learned from my first year of college, it's this-- it never works to focus on all the things that haven't  gone your way. You just have to tell yourself that you've accomplished a lot even though it doesn't seem like it.      There are a lot of things that I am/try to be relatively relaxed about. One thing I'm never too relaxed about though is school. I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to grades and homework completion and all that jazz....
