So, it’s been about 3 months of being on Substack so I think it would be nice to do a life update.
Reading:
The Invisible Life of Addie Larue
This was actually a birthday gift. It’s not the kind of book I usually go for, but I wanted to of course give it a fair shot since it was a gift. I’m only about a quarter in but it’s not bad! I’m waiting for the story to pick up but it’s not what I expected (in a good way).
What Editors Do: the art, craft, and business of book editing
This is a required reading for my publishing class but it’s actually really interesting and insightful. The class in general is really cool actually and has made me consider editing or any position in publishing as a viable career path.
Eating:
I’ve been loving pickled onions and smoked salmon lately for some reason. Overall though just good eats and wine (since I’m 21!)
Playing:
A bit of everything as usual
Obsessing:
My rhetorical theory class!
I’m not sure why but that class is amazing. It’s kind of every topic I love wrapped in one package. We deal with communication, society, language & speaking, and philosophy all together and it’s just a good time. It’s a lot of slightly abstract thinking but for some reason it just clicks for me.
Recommending:
Yoga
I’ve always loved yoga and I’m even getting my certification to teach now. It’s just crazy how you never notice how tense you are until you’re not. If you think you aren’t tense you probably are. Relax your face babe.
Also it’s just such a spiritually fulfilling way to get in daily movement. Like I feel so good afterwards.
Treating:
I’ve been trying to treat myself less in terms of shopping lately so I’m going to try to treat myself in other ways like working out, doing yoga, eating good food, journaling, etc.
Overall, life is looking pretty good right now! I’m chugging along in school but in general life is starting to feel like it’s starting to make sense.
