Every time it crosses my mind to jump onto my laptop and make a blog post, I sound like a broken record. Starting everything off the same with "well, it's been a while since I made a post...". You all can't see me, but I am shaking my head and rolling my eyes at myself thinking "wow, aren't I clever? What a good way to start the post. Yep I will actually blog more often now".
Truthfully, I know I probably won't. As much as I love to write here and share my thoughts, feelings, views and opinions on life (well pretty much anything), I figure I just don't have that much going on that I know would even be remotely interesting to some people.
Instead I'm just going to tell everyone what I am excited for this Summer and what I am thankful for right now.
Bali holiday-
Less than 6 weeks. First overseas holiday without my fam and first overseas holiday in almost 10 years. Pretty keen to say the least
Finishing uni sem-
Should be first, but oh well. Done on Friday (not looking forward to the release of marks though. I've gotten lazy. Stopped trying as hard. I am disappointed in myself, but I still have another 3(?) semesters to try and make myself proud again
The mountain of books I have to read-
I recently went on a crazy shopping spree, to buy books of course. Titles I have planned to read this Summer include some new editions and some old favourites. I'll share my list and I want to write something about each book once I've read it. No promises though. Who knows if I'll even make it through half this list, but I'll try.
- The Truth About Forever- Sarah Dessen (oldie)
- An Abundance of Katherines- John Green (oldie, wasn't a fan but I will give it another chance)
- Dracula- Bram Stoker (oldie but honestly never finished the thing)
- The Lovely Bones- Alice Sebold (oldie, needs another read)
- Looking For Alaska- John Green (oldie, probably one of my favourite books of all time)
- Paradise- Simone Elkeles (oldie and newbie- 2 books part of a series, read the first and haven't read the second)
- The Marriage Plot- Jeffrey Eugenides (newbie)
- Perfect Chemistry- Simone Elkeles (newbie)
- The Opposite of Loneliness- Marina Keegan (newbie)
- The Bell Jar- Sylvia Plath (newbie, always wanted to read this, not sure why though)
- The Beginning of Everything- Robyn Scheneider (newbie)
- The Virgin Suicides- Jeffery Eugenides (newbie)
- The Power of Now- Eckhart Tolle (newbie)
- The Pact- Jodie Picoult (oldie)
- The Catcher in the Rye- J.D Salinger (oldie)
My ultimate favourite thing about Summer. The beach is my home and I am looking forward to being out there as much as I possibly can (wearing my SPF50+ sunscreen of course because I would like to avoid that sun damage if I can)
Creating my bucket list-
Last year was ridiculous, I barely got anything done on my bucket list, but hey let's try again. I'll have this post up by the end of November
That's honestly all I have in my mind right now of what I have to be excited for.
I am thankful that I am happy and healthy.
I am thankful that I have beautiful friends whom I get to share my happiness with.
I am thankful for my family and all they do for me.
I am thankful for the amazing soul I get to call my boyfriend and whom I get to share all of life's crazy adventures with.
I am thankful that I get to wake up each day knowing that I have a bright future and it is whatever I make of it.
I am thankful that I have opportunities and they are endless.
Lastly, I am thankful that in this crazy, messed up world I am finally figuring out who I am, what I want and how to get it.
Cheesy as this is, let's end with a very spiritual quote, "Life's a climb, but the view is great". Pretty much sums up my take on life.
Thanks for reading, next post real soon (I actually promise this- I'm probably writing it write now and saving for later).
