I took another week off from posting to wrap my head around the fact that I am going into second year and living in a house with my close friends.

It’s crazy how things change so quickly. I remember thinking about university when I began high school thinking it was so far away yet here I am going into my second year. Change is just scary. It’s hard to think that I live in my own house, am being independent, getting a job, being with my friends and just living a different life than in my hometown.

I feel like this change is weird in a way. I just feel like the transition is slow and quiet with just me and my thoughts about the year. An eerie feeling about scenarios and ideas and goals and ambitions. It’s pretty overwhelming trying to understand why I feel this way.

My body is kind of going through recovery. I haven’t slowed down in a month and have been on the go all summer long. I feel like I am truly experiencing an empty social battery and what happens when I don’t give myself a break. I wanted to accomplish a lot and while I was super productive, I didn’t realize the effects on my body. And yet I feel like it still didn’t hit me. The breaking point. Where I would finally understand the big picture of slowing down. And now I am forced into it to recover when maybe I should have listened to my body and how I was feeling. I just want to be ready for when school starts. and I definitely don’t want to go into the school year with a low battery.

I keep manifesting that this year is going to be great.

My goal is to regain motivation and some independence and structure in my home away from home.

I also just posted my reel from August. and now I am making my summer video. And it’s so nostalgic looking back on the past four months and thinking about all the memories. It just feels like summer flew by in such an odd way. Like four months in what feels like two seconds.

Current mood: I am in my school fall era.

I went fall shopping. Rediscovered that I am still the biggest shopping addict ever. Well not ever but I am definitely working my way up there. I don’t know what it is but clothes are my biggest weakness and Aritzia just dropped its new fall line and it is DANGEROUS. Which then gives me the idea to do a little fall haul or fall outfit inspo because this year I want to put a little more effort into my outfits just to challenge my creativity.

I’m also getting a job for the school year. and it’s going to be yet another adjustment but I feel like it will give me SO MUCH structure that I think I definitely need.

Now for the point of this blog… I DECORATED MY ROOM. and I want to share it with all of you.

this is my favourite corner. and obviously more pictures to come… I am still working on the aesthetic part.

But I went for boho/minimal boho with gold accents and all shades of pink. I am just obsessed with it. And for me to be productive this year, I thought the first thing was to have my room put together. My space is my comfort and having it ready and cleaned puts me in a head space that can focus and plan for school.

Room tour video to come but for most of my room essentials, I of course went to urban outfitters. My bedding is from there so I had to colour coordinate with their home selection. The film wall had to stay and I also printed pictures from Walmart to make a little collage of some of my favourite moments.

I am really trying hard to get into some sort of routine.

Get up, make a coffee and start my day. Do I journal? Listen to music? Pick an outfit? Read? just anything to start my day off right. Because all in all, my goal is to be free-minded and just content and open and peaceful. I never know how to describe my goal mood but I just want to feel peace of mind when it comes to my day to day activities.

 

That pretty much wraps up my thoughts for the week.

STAY KIND:)

with love
