Hi everyone!
It is May when this is going up, and thats just so crazy. I can't believe April is over, it didn't seem like it lasted a long time. Although, we are obviously still in quarantine, so the days do go by slowly sometimes. April was a pretty good month, and I feel like this post is going to be good.

What I'm loving -
I'm definitely loving being so close to being done with school! I've already done two exams, and I have two left. They are the harder ones, but I'm so excited to be done with those classes.
I might have mentioned this in a past post, but I've been playing a lot of guitar lately. I absolutely love it!! I know how to play "Everything has Changed" by Taylor Swift. I've been experimenting with creating some songs, and I just really love playing the guitar so far. I'm SO excited, I just ordered a capo and more guitar picks last night, so I cannot wait for those to come
I've started creating to do lists for each day, because quarantine causes everything to be so jumbled up. They really help me! Some days they don't help as much, but other days they help me get a lot done.
Everyday after I do school in the morning and after lunch, I go outside on my back porch on the outdoor chairs and tan. It's so nice. I'm already so much more tan than I was, and after everything else during my day it's so nice to just relax and do nothing for a bit. I love texting or listening to music while I do it.
Zoom and FaceTime calls are definitely such a lifeline. I do a Monday lunch zoom with some of my friends every week, and it's so much fun! Individual facetimes are definitely really fun sometimes too. Yesterday, I did a facetime with one of my friends and we tried on dresses from our closets and it was honestly just so hilarious and fun.
I honestly didn't enjoy reading before quarantine, but it's definitely given me the time to get back into it and I love it so so much.

Tv shows and movies -
Gilmore Girls!! My forever favorite tv show. We're currently on season 6, and its hectic as always.
I watched High School Musical the Musical the Series in March and honestly still can't get over it. Cannot recommend enough.
Frasier is always pretty entertaining haha.
Still binging Austin and Ally on Disney+, because why not.

Books I read this month -
*warning I read a lot*
100 Days of Sunlight - My new literal
favorite book. I did a review on it, so go check that out
here.
By Your Side - I swear I'm not going to say this about every book, but this one is my new second favorite book. Y'all seriously need to go read this one and the one above it because they are perfection.
The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight - This one definitely wasn't my favorite one yet, but it was cute. I'm not sure why I didn't like it as much, but I just didn't.
This is What Happy Looks Like - This one i started about a year ago and never finished because I didn't enjoy reading as much then, but I re-read the beginning and read the middle and end for the first time and enjoyed it.
The Geography of You and Me - This one I got bored and read within about 4 hours. It was pretty good, better than some but not as good as others. It didn't have much interaction between the main two characters, which I didn't love, but overall it was cute.
The Book of Three - I had to read this one for school, and let me just say, never again.
Windfall - This one was definitely not my favorite of all of them. I love reading romance, so you know it's bad when I don't ship the main characters. I don't know, I just didn't love it.

So yeah! That's about it for my month. What did you guys do in April?
