School and Anxiety: a perpetual state of panic.
I am someone who gets really bad test anxiety. I get it so bad that some nights before exams I cannot sleep. I have had to learn how to cope and how to deal with it, especially when what triggers my anxiety the most is something completely unavoidable —school.
Here are a few helpful resources and tips I have picked up in my years as a student. (Fair warning, this is kind of lengthy.)
News and Updates (Please Read)
Hey everyone so I know it’s been a while since I have been on here regularly. Sorry about that. I’m doing a lot of work in college and sometimes I just don’t have time to be on here but, I am making time. So that being said I am going to start making this blog a bit more content centered for myself, and for you. I’m still going to be re-blogging but I want to write more about my life and college and balancing everything. So I want some help from you. What is anything you want to know about studying? I can’t promise I have the answers, but right now I’m double majoring in Management and Exercise Science and I’m a sophomore so I have a few things I can share. Right now I’m Pre-PA/Pre-MPH (I can’t make up my mind) so anything about undergrad medical studies or how to study certain subjects I might can help with. So anything you want to know about me, or my path just ask! I’m going to be writing a few posts in the coming weeks about how I got to where I am today and I hope that you will find those enjoyable.
So once again, send me any and all questions you have and I’ll consolidate them into a single post. Also, don’t be afraid to ask on anon or request a private reply I’m always okay with that.
Hope you all are having an amazing week and as always thank you for all your love and support.

Happy New Year everyone! May 2018 be a great year for you all! Here are my resolutions for the new year.
- Write a thousand words everyday

lovecompanionship- Stop staring at life through a screen so much
- Read all the Outlander books (God, I’m addicted)
- Read all the Game of Thrones books (also addicted)
- Start doing more for myself, because I want to do them.
Those are my resolutions for this year. Hopefully I can keep them all! Let’s be honest though the day will come when I won’t be ale to keep every. single. one.
What are your resolutions for 2018?
Monthly Newsletter time! Holy cow is it already almost November?!
November 2017:
- Nanowrimo 17’— sneak peek at my novel I’m working on
with a special look at my planning an notes.
- My TBR for November—
books I plan on reading this month, reviewing and a special glimpse of my
upcoming blog series.
Well, I cannot believe we are here near the end of 2017. I can’t think about 2018 being just around the corner or I will get nostalgic. Nonetheless this is a huge month for me. For the last two years I have participated in an annual writing competition known as NaNoWriMo (and I’ve won it both years). If you are not familiar with NaNo, it is a month (Novemeber) where people all over the world plan to write a novel– more specifically 50,000 words—over the course of 30 days. It averages to about 1,660 words per day and is a ton of fun!
This year for Nanowrimo I am starting a huge undertaking by completing my fantasy novel that has been brewing in the depths of my mind since I was 15. Right now the project remains untitled for all intents and purposes, but hopefully I will be able to share the name with you all soon.
Title: Tower of Dawn
Author: Sarah J. Maas
The sixth installment of the Throne of Glass series is truly unlike any other Sarah J. Maas book I’ve read (and I’ve read them all.)
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
This book follows Chaol Westfall on his adventure to the Southern Continent after the events that take place in Queen of Shadows. Originally intended to be a novella, this book clicks in at over 600 pages (and oh my god I would not of wanted it any other way).
Like all the previous Throne of Glass novels, this novel is told in third person limited POV. The entirety of the novel takes place on new territory with loads of new characters that will make you fall in love with the Southern Continent. Between the royal family (that Chaol is trying to woo into giving Aelin aid in war) and a healer of the Torre Cesme – who should not be a stranger to anyone who has read the series prequel – the newcomers in this book are going to be veryimportant in the series finale.

If you are okay with people messaging you to fan girl over a Sarah J Maas book
please, any day. You will become my friend and I give my friends cookies.
Never forget that Aelin plays piano, and it made Rowan almost cry.
And don’t think about how she may never get to play for him again.
Some people are a bit more quirkier than others about their reading habits. Some enjoy reading from the cozy comfort of their bed while others are risky and read in the bathtub. These habits tell a lot about a person’s personality and make each reader unique. Here are some of my reading habits and strangest reading experiences.
Do you have a certain place you read?
Normally I curl up in bed with my lap desk (I love that thing like it is the best thing since sliced bread let me tell you.) and read while I burn some of my favorite candles. I also love to read in my eno hammock – so much so that last winter when I got it for Chrsitmas I curled up on my back porch in it in 30 degree weather and read Tarzan.
