Let's Do This

Hey guys! I know it’s been a while but here’s an update:

I’m about 4 weeks into my freshman spring semester and I haven’t been feeling too good. My classes are less interesting and more difficult than last semester and I’m having some minor issues in my friend group so I’ve just been emotionally exhausted the last month or so.

On the bright side, I’ve found some new music I really like and I got to read a little more Moby Dick which is good.

Monthly spreads

My new favorite book!!!!! I’m only a third of the way through but I love it so much (I think I was a whaler in a past life 🤷‍♀️🐳👀). Also featuring my new favorite t-shirt that a friend got me for my bday. Moby Dick is totally the reason my August is ocean themed.

*** I know Moby Dick gets a lot of hate because it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but it is exactly my cup of tea. Also, it’s so much funnier than I expected ???

Meaningful Quotes:

“I have no objection to any person’s religion, be it what it may, so long as that person does not kill or insult any other person, because that other person don’t believe it also.” - pg 118

“What’s to be, will be; and then again, perhaps it won’t be, after all.” - pg 126

Funny Quotes:

“He was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal.” - pg 50

“This relieved me; and once more, and finally as it seemed to me, I pronounced him in my heart, a humbug.” - pg 127

I decided to start a bullet journal this summer! It’s quite a big undertaking for someone who has habitually bought a school planner, used the planner for August, and then completely forgot all about the planner for the rest of the school year every year since fifth grade.

I plan on actually using my bullet journal for at least my freshman year of college, so I can get acclimated to how much and what is expected of me. Fingers crossed that I actually stick to it. I added a habit tracker for August to try to keep me accountable, let’s hope it works.

Since it’s summer, I’ve had a lot of time and I made my themes super cute.... buuutttt during the school year I probably won’t have as much time and they probably won’t be as cute :( Also, during the school year, my weekly spreads will be 2 pages instead of one so I’ll have enough space to write everything.
