It's back to classes this week for me, and I'm optimistic about the rest of this year. I've got my bullet journal all filled in and a whole host of calendar alerts to try and keep me from missing my Zoom commitments. I often wish I was a little less busy, not because I don't love my community, but because the high-octane student life doesn't leave much time for relaxation. I try to carve out quieter moments to read or watch television, but more often than not I end up checking my email and scheduling myself into the sun.
One thing I like to do is listen to music while I work or study--the background noise can help me focus, and I get to listen to the character playlists I curate on Spotify. Lately, I've been listening to a lot of orchestral covers of pop music since Bridgerton introduced me to Vitamin String Quartet! I'll drop my Daphne & Simon playlist below, in case any of you want to do the same. Click the image or scan the Spotify code to listen... and maybe give me a follow while you're there? With every week that passes, I also get closer to subscribing to Starz. I don't know if I've mentioned it here, but last fall I became pretty intensely obsessed with Outlander. I'm late to the party (the show has been on since 2014) but I like to think I make up for it in enthusiasm. (Again, see relevant linked playlist below--it's still in progress, but expect more songs soon!) Jamie and Claire are simply the height of romance for me right now, and I'm crushed that seasons 4 and 5 aren't on Netflix. This brings us back to Starz, which is running a sale on subscriptions making them incredibly affordable for 6 months, which should be all the time I need. (This isn't an ad, they're not sponsoring me, I'm just genuinely happy about the discount--I couldn't subscribe without it) Because I'm so new to the show, I have a fair idea of what's in store for future seasons, but I'm excited to see it play out for myself! I'm sure I'll be getting my heart broken again shortly, as I'm in the middle of season 2, the ending of which has already been spoiled for me. You lucky ducks get to watch me go on this wild adventure, so I hope you enjoy vague secondhand television references mixed in with your YA book recommendations! Wow, this has been a long update. I hope you enjoy the playlists and my TV recs, and I'll see you back tomorrow for some bookish content!
