What have I been up to?

Hey guys,

Since my first blog post I have not written anything! School had taken over my life what with essays, research papers, reading assignments (if you are a English Major you understand all this) and most importantly FINAL EXAMS!!! This had been a very stressful school year and I thought that this would end horribly with me failing all of my classes!  Assignments were piling up, deadlines for research papers were close, and group projects were sucking the life out of me; however, I am proud to say that all my hard work has most definitely paid off! I passed all of my classes with A's and one B.  So if you are having a stressful school year whether you are in high school or university, just know that with all the hard work you put in it will all be worth it!

 Now that I am over all this stress, I have been enjoying the winter break.  My family and I had a good Christmas with each of us exchanging gifts and enjoying movies and TV shows that were playing that day.  What did you guys do during Christmas, that is if you celebrate it.  Did you spend it with family, give the gifts you wanted to your loved ones?  As for those who don't celebrate it, how did you spend the winter break?

I've been using my time catching up on YouTube because I am seriously obsessed with watching Vlogs!  Besides watching YouTube videos, my time has been spent reading books because it has been so long since I've read for pleasure instead of it being required for the school curriculum.  I had recently finished reading The Winter Witch by Paula Brackston and I am currently reading The Elfstones of Shannara by Terry Brooks.  If I can finish reading it real quick maybe I will do a proper book review.

Oh besides books, my time has been spent watching TV shows that I have missed because of school and TV shows that I had just discovered.  Old TV shows like Teen Wolf, Flash, Arrow and Reign & New TV shows such as; Jane the Virgin, The Man in the High Castle (which I might do a proper review on a separate blog post), Hand of God, and The Shannara Chronicles.

Well I am trying to enjoy reading and watching as much as I currently can because school starts on the 20th and I can already feel this will be a tough school year! (So optimistic am I not? :p)
So I will see you guys soon, take care and lets all hope this new year will be a Good, Safe, Healthy and Happy year! Happy 2016 guys!!! :)
