Popping In

Image
Hey guys. I'm tired. Like want-fall-on-my-face-and-sleep-for-nine-years tired. It's a problem. Like right now? I'm supposed to be studying for my History midterm that's happening tomorrow. My brain doesn't want to concentrate. Nghhhhh. I need winter break. Also I'm fighting a potential cold/sore throat and it sucks. Okay, okay, that's all I'm going to complain about. (For now). Hopefully, I can come back with some blog posts before finals hit and destroy me. Then winter break will come (PRAISE) and I will make myself blog and do productive things. On a side note, if any of you are looking for a K-drama to watch, go watch Sassy Go Go (aka Cheer Up! but there is no other name than Sassy Go Go in my eyes). It will drown you in bittersweetness. And feels. Just go watch it. There will be no regrets. (Also, thank you Ely for all the awesome recs. How do you get my taste in dramas so well? XD) I better save some things to say about it in ...

Baby Hiatus

Image
So... I didn't want to hiatus this blog but also I'm happy that it came as late as it did. It is now midterms/midterms-ish time and I have a gigantic amount of work to do. I barely can find time to relax and just do something for the fun of it. To keep my sanity intact and to not have to worry about a second  set of responsibilities, I'm going to give this blog a teeny-tiny little break. Like 2 weeks or 3 weeks at most.  This time shall be filled in school, family, and trying to comment on more of your blogs because I'm so bad at that I'm sorry I forget things all the time.  Love you guys. Stay awesome. I'll be back. 

September Recap

Image
Yo. Here's this month's GIF: Books: I...haven't really read non-school books this month. Specifically, the only book I've read this month is White People, Indians, and Highlanders  and it was so. tedious. I haven't read such a dry book in a long time. I really want to get back into reading at least a little bit every day but I've been super super busy for the past couple weeks and will continue to be so for at least the remainder of this week and all of next. Relaxation is needed. BUT, I have some good news. I've started reading Compulsion and I'll try to keep reading it steadily (I have some time before one of my morning classes because I ride the shuttle and get there early). So far, it's been pretty good. Nothing to fangirl about, but then I'm not very far in. Music: Got7 dropped a MV out of nowhere  and I freaked out and I love it oh my gosh Jackson is perfect. Has his voice actually gotten lower? Asian puberty con...

The Unpopular Opinions Tag

Image
Soooo this unpopular opinions thing. I have them of course. BUT I do not think that everybody should agree with me or that my opinion is the gospel truth (but you can think that if you want ;) ). THIS IS A FUN THING. And, please, if you want to-- go ahead and write a huge comment disagreeing with me.  Sophia from Ravens and Writing Desks tagged me and according to her this tag originated with TheBookArcher (I'm trusting you, Sophia). Thanks so much for the tag! 1. A popular book or series that you didn't like:     Yup, you saw right. :D I don't like The Hunger Games series.  The weird thing is, the first time I read the books (or the book , the first one) I loved them. I thought they were the greatest thing in the universe. BUT, when I read them the second time... I wasn't so impressed. Especially with the way Katniss was written. Something about it totally didn't work the second time.  I don't even know why this happened. I...

It's a Random Day {4}

Image
I think I need to make a new picture for this. It's been a while since I did a "random day" post so I thought I'd do one today. :) I'm sorry I don't get to post more than once a week usually, but that's a huge  improvement from last school year so I'm happy. Songs I've Been Listening to: This gem is Fronting by Seventeen and it's on their newest mini album. I really like it. <3 And you should go have a listen.  I've also been listening to this awesome Celtic music to get me through preparing for my American History presentation. It really made me concentrate and also, Celtic music is my love. I can't get enough of that flute music. School is....Blegh: This week I've been just in a bleh mood with school and everything. Everything's boring. Everything makes me tired... and bored (did I mention that already?). It's just a ho-hum week. And ever since I've been back to school, it's basically...

Guest Review: Grisha Trilogy by SJ Bouquet

Image
I wanted to be a pirate princess when I was a little girl. I wanted to wear leather, shoot guns, swing swords, and amass hoards of treasure. Unfortunately, pirates don't represent the same romantic notions they once did. At 19, I'm still growing up, and still want to throw all my responsibilities to the wind and chase freedom. But alas, I've exhausted my interest in college (didn't care for that whole write 10+ pages worth of essays CONSTANTLY thing) and I've developed a strong fear of open water (watched one too many movies about ship wrecks). So how does this pirate wannabe spend her days? Tweeting pics of my dog and reading aaaalll the YA and classic novels. I'll always be a pirate at heart, but for now I'll settle for being an Erudite, a Slytherin, lover of Sebastian Stan's face, and a die-hard Leigh Bardugo and Jane Austen fan.    Dear Readers, You should be warned that I liked this series a lot. I just read them for...
