I started watching The OC because my linguistics professor keeps making references to it in class. Really, you should be proud that I’m such an active learner.
I love browsing markets set up with booth after booth of independent artists, but I must admit that I hardly ever end up actually buying things. It’s not that I don’t find things I like. In fact, most things I find at these kinds of markets are so creative, unique, inspiring, and special. But they’re also not the cheapest and not always the most practical. Like, I don’t need this in my life to survive. But as I’ve been exposed more to the creative world through blogging, I’ve realised that it’s not about whether or not I need something, but rather about appreciating someone’s work and supporting them so that they can make more of these beautiful things they’re putting out into the world. And anyways, it’s not like I haven’t bought things that haven’t been critical to my survival before. (*loses count of amount of bubble tea consumed*) So today I wanted to share two recent purchases I’ve made to support two of my favourite bloggers!
This past week has had its ups and downs, but it started and ended up, so I’m thankful for what I have and thankful for the people I have. Here’s to another week of being actively and consciously happy ♡
The first watch I ever owned was a Baby-G watch. It was hardy and had all the beeps and boops and I never took it off. One fateful summer after seventh grade, I realised that I had developed an unmistakable watch tan. I decided to take it off for the summer to even out the tan, but little did I know, I would never wear another watch again… until now.
My mind was totally frazzled the last few weeks before Fall Break, so I made the most of resting and recharging over Fall Break in order to come back to school and be ready to seize it. I was nervous about coming back to school and seeing how I would fare, but I think I handled it pretty well. It’s definitely something I need to be conscious about and actively work toward. Here’s to hoping that I can keep it up this week too! I’ve been telling myself that my weekdays are really just Monday-Wednesday to make the week seem more manageable. I have classes Monday-Thursday, but I only have one class on Thursday, and it’s pretty chill. Thursdays are usually stressful because that’s when problem sets are due for another class, but… I can do it!!
