The 100 and The Raven Boys

One of the most relaxing things in the world is reading a good book. Not everyone enjoys spending hours staring aimlessly at a bunch of printed words but personally I find it calming.
One of the books I have finished recently is “The Raven Boys” It is the first book in the “Raven Cycle” series and I honestly loved it. I just kinda stumbled upon it and was presently surprised.
It is about a girl named Blue who is burdened with a grim fait that when she kisses her true love he will die. She is surrounded by a family of psychics but she doesn’t possess the gift. I don’t want to give anything away accidentally but I will leave it at that. It is categorized as teen romance but I beg to differ.

I also recently finished “The 100” series. I don’t remember if I have talked about the 100 show before but it is one of my favorites!! I decided to read the books after I finished walking the first two seasons. Let’s just say the credits say the show is based off of the book but there are really no similarities it was almost as if they were two different stories. Regardless both the show and the books are amazing and unique and everything else.

Now I have so many other books on my list to read this summer so yay!

Side note: I started reading the A Song of Ice and Fire series (Game of Thrones) and it is very very very intricate it reminds me a lot of the lord of rings. So we will see but my hopes are high.

Lottery Ticket

Lottery tickets are addicting but also always disappointing.
I had this one lottery ticket the other day where you have three numbers and they all have to add up to 7,11, or 21.
My numbers added up to 20… Like are you kidding me! Just one more number and I would have won 21,000 dollars!
Which seems like a lot but then when I thought about it that wouldn’t even make a dent in my college debt… so yeah so screw it.

Smoking Sugar

I am battling one of the hardest battles there is… quiting a bad and horrible habit. I am going to stop eating sugar (or at least that’s how it started now I am just going to ‘cut down’).

I figured since apparently eating the amount of sugar I eat is considered “unhealthy” or “life threatening” but I say no! I think it is a skill… downing a whole bag or starbursts in a matter of hours is legendary.

I also contemplated the fact that I quit smoking cold turkey style and succeed; cutting down on sugar would be a piece of cake… WRONG!

I am kind of terrified how sugar is harder to quit eating than smoking a cigarette. That is not how science is supposed to work.

Anyways… I will continue on this journey and give updates. That is if I survive the battle.

Another update I have now interviewed with four of the million colleges I applied to. This is the month where the truth is revealed. Wish me luck because unfortunately this month might determine my future.
