Hi. Let me just take a deep breath at the fact that i have been procrastinating from writing this for the last 2 days. I am not proud of myself but David Dobrik's videos are highly addictive and I truly blame myself for going back for more. I am ashamed but I can't promise you that I won't go back for more of his videos HAHA.
Anyway, in all seriousness, the past 3 months had been well, real crazy. I was really occupied with university applications, housework and really just taking time for myself to really relax after hustling through 13 years of school. I think the past 3 months are also the most stress and complicated I've felt in a while and I can't say I am enjoying it but what I can say is I have put on a lot more weight. So you can make your own conclusion on that.
Long story short, I will be enrolling in a professional accounting course at a local university on the 8th of July. I am glad to reach the point where I feel like I know what I am doing with my life and explaining it to people isn't the hardest task. I am also pretty excited and looking forward to where i am going to be at and what I am going to be doing for the next 4 years of my life. Hopefully, I do not forget to document it somewhere. Maybe here. Who knows?
In the midst of everything, in terms of my friends moving on and already starting university and getting new friends, my family's opinion on my choices, my preparation for uni, it's all just very chaotic. So i took some time to myself and decided to read a book. The book is called 'Fangirl' and was written by Rainbow Rowell. The book is themed around a first year student, Cath Avery, who enrolled at University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The thought of her and her descriptions reminded me of myself which is most probably why I love the book so much.
The story revolves around Cath who have way too much to worry about. Most importantly her single dad, Arthur Avery, who is basically crazy and needs attention or else and her twin sister, Wren Avery, who does not want to be around Cath anymore and is very much enjoying her life as a freshman by drinking and partying all the time. Her mother left her when she was 8 years old so she had to grow up faster than most kids her age. Cath just felt responsible for her family and think about them too often, hoping everything is okay. To fill up her time, Cath writes fan-fiction about her 2 favorite character from the Simon Snow series (which is almost similar to Harry Potter just with magicians and vampires), Baz and Simon. What's cool about the book is that at the end of every chapter, there would be short extracts from any 7 of the Simon Snow books or little extracts from some of Cath's infamous fan-fictions titled 'Carry On, Simon' and many more.
Her roommate, Reagen thinks she's weird and different from any other freshmen students as Cath literally acts like she only goes to class and back to her room and that only. Levi, who she assumed was her roommate's boyfriend is always around as well hanging out in their room. To add on, classes haven't been easy and the 'friends' she made are not really the best of friends but are just friends with her because she got something they want. Her lecturer think fan-fiction is not a good write and is not original. This obviously crush hopes and dreams of Cath, who is famous in the fan-fiction community.
The story tells how Cath goes through all her insecurities which is very interesting for me because miracles doesn't necessarily happen. The story is so raw that I find it so interesting and relatable to my daily life. The way she confront her feelings, the way she solve her problems, really opens up my eyes on how to approach different situations and what to expect when I am in a similar situation.
I don't know if anything I've said is making you even a little bit more interested but please give it a chance. Give it a read. Maybe, just maybe, it could catch your heart too like it did with mine. I finished it within a week and I wish they had a sequel to the book. It's just unfortunate that such thing did not exist haha.
I should stop before I say too much and you don't want to get the book anymore. I hope to come back soon with more content but really, I have been staying home watching tv and youtube, listening to music and really nothing much. I finished How I Met Your Mother like a month back and I could never enough thank my friend, Joel who recommended it to me. I laughed, cried, felt so many emotions while I'm at it. You should give that a watch sometimes. I am trying to finish The Big Bang Theory now. No spoilers please.
Okay okay I'll leave now. Really hope and pray that I have more content to post.
My tightest of hugs goes to you..
