+ Sleep. I started my last semester of college(!!) and my days start super early and last pretty long. To keep me sane, I’ve adjusted my sleep schedule. I used to go to bed around 1-2am, but now I aim for 9-10:30pm. (Isn’t that crazy?!) I’m really trying to make sleep a priority because I like knowing that I’m giving my body plenty of rest rather than resting the bare minimum (like it has been in the past).

+ Rock climbing. One of the classes I’m taking is Teaching Lifetime Physical Activities - basically we get to participate and learn about different activities well enough to be able to teach it. Right now we’re doing rock climbing and I loooove it! I wanna keep it up even after we’re done with this section!

+ Badminton. I’m also taking badminton for my racquet sport requirement! I’ve never played before but I’m catching on and each day I’m enjoying the sport more and more :)

+ Hand-lettering. In case you didn’t know this about me, I have a creative side that I like to try and bring out once in a while. Even though I’m not very good, I’ve been trying practice my hand-lettering and started a little 52 weeks ‘project’ with different bible verses. (I’ve shared some of my work on Instagram.)

+ DIY & crafts. My room is quite plain (we did some room rearranging a few months ago) so I’ve been trying to personalize it more and more. You can see some of my wall decorations in the video :) I plan on painting my walls so I’m not going to add anything else. For now, I’m happy with it as it is.

+ Books. This past winter break was really refreshing for me. I didn’t do much; stayed at home most of the time, hung out once in a while, and went to NY. My time at home was like none other though. I’m not much of a book reader, but this break, a lot of my time was spent reading! I spent time in the Word, and read for pleasure :) My reading list has expanded and I'm sad that I won't get to read them as much because I have to read more school but I try and squeeze in my own reading when I can!

Until next time... What have YOU been up to lately? If you'd like to share, I'd love to hear! :)
