Life Update

Holy cow, who am I? What is life? Why haven't I posted this entire week? College is why. I did not have any midterms this week so why have I been so busy, where does my time go? It goes to homework and other shenanigans. A typical day for me goes like this: wake up, get ready, go to class, come back to my room, take a nap, eat, go to other classes, come back, eat, do homework, shower, sleep. If I am lucky I can slip in a gym workout somewhere in there,writing blog posts, and its an especially good day if I can fit some Netflix in there(aka Gilmore Girls). But this week I have had time to do none of the extra things that I love. But it's finally FRIDAY.

So let's talk about some exciting things I am doing this weekend, shall we?

-Listen to Music

This is so random, but I have been obsessed with 90s R&B music, like its all I want to listen to these days. I have been particularly loving "Killing Me Softly" by The Fugees. I find it to be so relaxing and soothing, so I have been listening to that song on repeat.

The original version by Roberta Flack is also amazing, by the way. 

-Watch Netflix(or catch up on your favorite TV shows)

You best believe I will be watching Netflix (in between studying, of course). I am currently watching Gilmore Girls on Netflix and it has been my life. I have never wanted to have blue eyes more than I do now because of Lorelai and Rory. I am also watching the current season of American Horror Story and am two episodes behind, so I must catch up on that. 

-Cleaning and Organizing My Room

So maybe this isn't very exciting to most people but I am so pumped to clean my room. Whenever my room is organized and clean, I feel like I have my life together. So I will be thoroughly cleaning my room and re-organizing my drawers and closet. 

-Get Halloween Costume 

I am so excited for Halloween! I haven't celebrated Halloween since grammar school, so I am kind of pumped to actually dress up this year (I guess I was too cool for Halloween in high school). My friend from high school will be visiting my roommate and I for the weekend, so it will be a good (but always responsible) time. I will tell you guys about my costume later, I want to keep it a surprise! But I will tell you that is related to Spongebob ;) 

So this is what I will be doing this weekend besides the boring things like homework and studying. I will let you guys know next week how many things I actually accomplish (hopefully everything!). 

Are you dressing up for Halloween? If so, what are you going to be? Let me know below!

Old Love Songs that I Love

I love old fashioned music.  I am not much of romantic, but I do romanticize some things (like baseball and Christmas).  Love is a very difficult subject to understand.  I personally prefer love and relationships like they use to be in the old days.  Without texting, snapchat, and other forms of social media.  Old fashioned love songs are so simple and I love them for that.  Here is a list of a few of my favorites.

1. For Once in My Life

2. It Had to be You

3. Night and Day

4. I'll be Seeing You

5. These Foolish Things

6. I Wish You Love

7. They Can't Take That Away From Me

8. The Way You Look Tonight

9. I've Got You Under My Skin

10. All The Way 

Does anyone out there still like this kind of music?  

Happy Monday, and I wish you all Love.

Petite Moment: My Homework Playlist

I am currently jam-packed with homework and studying with midterms and one of the things that has kept me going is music. I am a weird person and there are times where I absolutely can't listen to music while doing homework, otherwise I get too distracted. But the days where I can listen to music, this is what I listen to...

Lana Del Rey: "Ultraviolence" and "Born to Die Paradise Edition" Albums

Lana's voice and music are so soothing while doing homework. Her music is generally calm but not to the point where you want to fall asleep. I have recently been obsessed with listening to these two albums simultaneously. Also, Lana Del Rey's Pandora station is also pretty great, combines a lot of great music along with some remixes.

Frank Ocean "Channel Orange" 

It's been two years since this album has been released and I am still obsessed with this album and every single song on it. Most of the songs are calm and Frank Ocean's beautiful voice is great motivation to do homework. 

Lorde "Pure Heroine"

I didn't pay much attention to this album except for the songs played on the radio, but Lana's Pandora station plays Lorde's music frequently and I have become obsessed. It contains catchy and beautiful songs that make doing homework a little more bearable. 

Can you listen to music while doing homework? What do you listen to if you can? I am open to your suggestions! Let me know below!
