Another month in review! I feel like there was such a mood shift from August to September. I’ve always looked at September as a fresh start, because of the new school year. Now that I’m graduated, it feels…different. Nevertheless, I still feel the same way about this time of year. It’s a time for reflection and goal setting and the virgo in me loves it. I’m so ready for October. The halloween vibes are real and I’m ready to go into my absolute favorite month of the year. But before I get ahead of myself- lets talk September.
For starters, I turned 22! It’s officially my Taylor Swift year (I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 22)- get it? Sorry. Super cheesy, but I had to. I also celebrated my second blog anniversary!!! I wrote a more lengthy post, if you have an interest in reading that. To sum it up, it’s crazy to think about how quick the past two years went. I love blogging and think I always will. It’s the creative outlet that I think I was always searching for. Kind of sad to admit, but blogging has been the longest thing that I’ve ever stuck with, so it’s a major accomplishment to me (that’s how you know you’re passionate about something!!).
I also started my second term of my graduate degree! I’m taking business law and an economics class. Business law has been my favorite so far, and been really interesting to learn about. Even though I’m technically “in school”, not going back to a classroom setting has felt really weird. I’ve been thinking of starting a new blog series for recent college graduates, and all the things that come with that. Whether it’s about how I’m feeling, looking for an internship/job, or going to grad school, I think it would be a fun way to connect and relate with other graduates. Please let me know if thats something that you guys would be interested in seeing on here.
Random little accomplishment…I started learning Photoshop! I don’t know why, but I’m super proud of this. I’ve given it a try a few times before, but gave up when I couldn’t even figure out how to crop a picture. Randomly, I started playing around with it this month, and started to piece all of it together. I still only really know the basics, but practice makes perfect, right?
As for next month, I’m channeling all the halloween vibes. I’m hoping the weather starts to get cooler, because it still feels like Summer where I live. I have the most fun fall themed posts planned out, I am so excited. In my last Friday Favorites post, I mentioned that I’m rewatching The Vampire Diaries. It is such an Autumn show for me, so it’s the icing on the cake for this time of year for me. I hope everyone else has an amazing October!! I would love to hear what everyone else has planned for the spooky season, so let me know!
Can you believe that I’ve never really watched vampire diaries before!? I know, it’s kind of embarrassing. I’ve watched an episode or two a few years back, because my sister was obsessed. I know I want to get around to it eventually (but I’ve been saying that for years, so who knows when I’ll get to it), but I’ve been currently watching once upon a time, and i’m obsessed! I’m glad to hear you had a good september, and hope you have an even better october xx
