One day I will post this in ooc and start rambling and I won’t stop.

[taylorshutup]

if anyone reading this is scared:

college can be one of the most amazing experiences of your life.

use your 4 years of undergrad wisely; surround yourself with positive energy and don’t fuck around when it comes to assignments and grades (remember that you’re PAYING a shit ton of money to be taking these classes and lots of people don’t have the financial resources to access higher education).

BUT you also shouldn’t be stressing yourself out and crying over homework and staying up till 3am every day. keep up with your assignments, get a job on campus, EAT (!!!!!!!!!), hang out with good people!!

JULY/AUGUST 2018 -- If I had to describe the last two months in one word, I would say “rough.” I just watched a lot of stuff instead of reading and was down in the dumps all of August. I’ll get back on track, though! I hope... The good news is, I’m finally posting a wrap up! Always two sides to a coin :D Quick question, if I do a liveblog of a book, should I start putting links to it in my wrap up? Me to me: yeah do it

Continuathon Posts - I didn’t do a wrap up because I’m terrible.

What I Watched

Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo - I loved every minute of it

Black Panther - Got the DVD so a rewatch was necessary! (also the only Marvel DVD I’ve somehow convinced my mom to own)

Bob’s Burgers - a few episodes here and there

Now You See Me (1&2) - Watched without subtitles, so did I even really watch it?

UK’s Love Island Season 4 - ... I have Opinions™

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before - This movie is everything to me.

Crazy Rich Asians - (I found a way!) Lowkey felt sick watching this........... the redeeming quality was that it was funny. :(

we are not pretty but yet we try to be the ones adored at night

nor are we smart yet we study still in hopes to replace intellect with will

and we can't write poems yet we sing our songs we are the girls designed for applause

JUNE 2018 --- This goatathon was wonderfully productive in getting me back to reading. Thanks Noor @heretherebebooks for hosting! I read more than I imagined. I really thought I’d finish one book and call it quits. :-) Also, goat is no longer a real word. Does anyone like my banner? 😂Long post ahead I’m not sorry.

Goat Dedicated -- This is for Momofuku Ando, the creator of instant ramen, which sustained me for many a long night as I struggled with both words and self-doubt. Nothing but respect for my president. (From The Heart Forger by Rin Chupeco, which is 10x funnier because she lives in the Philippines, and Duterte is a shit president.)

Mini reviews!

Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson -- I enjoy how accessible yet wonderfully put together the poetry is. I wish she tried exploring the topics further, but also this is about her life. I don’t know how much deeper you could get than that. She talked about a lot of topics, but never gave many enough time. It’s complicated.

Opal by MS -- Also complicated. I enjoyed it enough. If it’s a small set up for the Ronan trilogy, there are great avenues for conflict exploration that MS opened up.

Obsidio by Amie Kaufman & JK -- Also also complicated. 400 pages of waiting around, then 180 pages of action, then the last 20 pages of not entirely satisfying conclusion. I wanted a higher body count. It was also predictable in the sense that you can tell who will survive in the end. Less cool stuff and full of video surveillance transcriptions. Too much and not enough. I’m confused on how to feel. 

The Heart Forger by Rin Chupeco -- Okay, I loved book one of this series because it took its time building everything, and tbh I really liked getting to go with Tea on her lessons. I liked its slowness. With this book, it’s entirely different. There’s conflict after conflict, yet I wasn’t exhausted. I didn’t feel like I was bombarded with their problems. I also found myself more deeply attached to the characters this time around, and I cried so many times throughout. And the dual timelines? I can’t wait for them to finally converge in book 3! World building: still confusing, but more details were given that helped it make some more sense than the last. 

Sharks in the Rivers by Ada Limón -- I LOVE THIS COLLECTION. So many beautiful words, and so many meanings to take from them. I was blown away with almost every poem, and I am so so glad to have found this. I can’t wait to read more from this poet. I should note there’s more birds than there are sharks. 😂

Marvel Tsum Tsum: Takeover by Jacob Shabot -- I love cute things. I fell for this marketing ploy. If only Tsum Tsum were more permanent in the Marvel Universe. They’d make for the cutest superheroes and villains. I would definitely trust them with my life.
