life update – october 2018
Happy Halloween!!
Whew, it’s been a hot minute! What’s everyone dressing up as tonight? I think I’m going out as Lara Jean from To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before – too bad I don’t have a Kavinsky 😪 October got so busy so fast – let me catch y’all up!
I just want to say that life is so good right now. I’ve always been happy with how I spend my day-to-day, but I’m particularly happy with how balanced my life feels, academically, socially, and mentally. It’s my senior year and I think I’m doing it right so far.
I don’t know if it’s because Seattle was blessed with two full weeks of cold but dry weather, but it put me in the best mood. I’m still getting used to having so many social events on my calendar (why is October so poppin’?! I’m not complaining…), but it’s been so rewarding and fun.
I went to my first football tailgate, so I’m glad I got to check that off my bucket list for this year.
I haven’t forgotten about my classes though! I’ve been studying hard (and doing well, thank goodness!) as well as still preparing for the GMAT exam on the weekends. The grind never ends, y’all.
I’ve been to the Hot Cakes before, but when Big/Little Reveal rolled around for my sorority, my little and I decided to take my G-Little for a treat! I forgot how delightful molten cakes are (and how sweet it gets). I wasn’t expecting for it to be so busy on a Friday night but there were so many couples there!
The next morning, I headed over to Raised Doughnuts with my best friend Hannah! I had been eyeing this doughnut shop since early summer and finally made it over as soon as the doors opened on Saturday. Even the fog was still out!
I got the Raspberry doughnut holes and an Apple Cider – it was all so good. Definitely smaller portions and higher price, but amazing quality. There was even a pupper trotting around the shop!
Besides eating too much sugar this month, I’ve also been trying out spin classes! I finally bit the bullet and tried out City Cycle and Flywheel. I love getting sweaty and being sore for the days following, but my main issue right now is that I think I’m slightly too short, even when I adjust the bike seat to the lowest height 😪
Other quick updates:
Current read: Sweetbitter by Stephanie Danler
Currently watching: Riverdale – it’s so awful this season though so I might give it up. My roommate and I did just watch Twilight the other night; y’all it is SUCH a mood.
Currently listening: Lauv’s most recent album, I met you when I was 18. Every song is SO CATCHY. This album’s been on repeat for the entire month.
I’m excited to be celebrating my 22nd birthday next month!! 22 is so boring though – the only thing I can do is play Taylor Swift’s 22 for three minutes and call it a day. Honestly, knowing myself, I’ll probably celebrate with a few drinks and a bag of Hot Cheetos to myself.
What have you been up to this month?
