September Favorites

So now that we're in October, I can do my first favourites post! Again, I totally stole this idea from my friends @ awesomewebe. I'm keeping to a minimum of five per month. Because there’s four weeks to a month, and there must have been at least one nice thing every week, and one thing through the month? Also five is just a good number. Anyway. Here we goooo…


1. Moving into the dorm.

That’s at the top of the list because I wasn't even sure if I would get a room since I was on the wait-list. I was staying with my brother, but it’s a one bedroom apartment and he works and most days when I woke up to get ready for school he would have just gotten into bed. And it was almost a 90 minute commute to school. Not easy. Though I managed. And even got used to it towards the end. But it wasn't an ideal situation. School started on the third, I moved in ten days later. It was a close run. But it all worked out! Despite my worrying and depression and breakdowns, everything did work out. So that was a HUGE weight off my shoulders.

2. Bonding with The Brother’s friends.

The Brother is just my older (step) brother. Whom I love unconditionally. I practically worship the ground he walks on. Well no, not really. But I adore him. And his friends are the coolest. And this month I got to spend a lot of time with his two best friends, and they treated me like family, and it was really nice because I've always wanted to have that with them. One of them, let’s call her Totes, is a good friend of mine too. She's the one I mentioned in a couple of previous posts. She's become like an older sister to me and I love her. The other best friend, I never got that much of a chance to hang out with him because he works and has crazy shifts and is usually busy on weekends. But this one week he injured his knee and so was at home. And Friday night he remembered that I was still at my brother’s house and we ended up getting Chinese food and baking brownies and just chilling. And now we both watch The Voice together (he at his apartment, me in my dorm), and live text each other, and it’s funnn.

3. T.V. Shows.

The Voice. Two words: Adam Levine.

Breaking Bad! I finally finished it. Season 5 was SO unbelievably good. And watching the finale with my friend in India who got me into the show in the first place was such a great experience.

How To Get Away With Murder, Selfie, Agents of Shield, Doctor Who. New shows and new seasons of old shows. Always good.

4. Football (soccer).

I don’t know how I got sucked into this, but I did, and now I can’t seem to leave. All my life I actively avoided getting interested in this particular sport, but after the world cup this year, two of my friends fell in love with it. And they dragged me under with them. And I love it now. #fcbarcelona FTW. Messi and Neymar <3

5. Update on life.

I started this email thread with one of my best-est friends ever and it’s a godsend. Sure we talk (text) and chat on FB every day, but this thread is perfect because it’s a mixture of everyday nonsense and deep shit and musings and dreams and rants and whining and stories and…life.

6. Birthdays!

Not mine. But three of my favourite people: my favourite cousin, Becky; Totes; and my very own Marshmallow  ^_^

I wasn't there for Becky and Marshmallow’s because, well, I'm in NY and they aren't. And it sucked that I couldn't be there. But it was still good because I talked to them and I knew they had good birthdays and I love them (and missed them terribly) but it was all good. I was here for Totes' birthday, but I couldn't meet her on her actual birthday because she and The Brother and their friends went out and I'm underage so even though she wanted me to come, I couldn't. So that sucked too. But I bought her these chocolates and cookies that she loves so that made it better. And birthdays in general, are always good. Or you hope that they will be. And usually they turn out pretty okay.

7. Feelings.

I don’t think I need to elaborate too much here. My first two posts were all gushing over this guy. I haven’t felt that way in a really long time, at least, not about an actual person whom I  know. So while it ended up being painful and not working out, the feelings were good while they lasted.

8.  MY TICKETS ARE BOOKED FOR WINTER BREAK I CANT WAIT TO SEE MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND EAT GOOD FOOD AGAIN AND NOT DIE IN THE FREEZING TEMPERATURES YAAASSSSS

I think that’s all for this month. Note to self, keep a draft and add favourites as they come along. I shall start this right away, because I already have one thing lined up for this month’s favourites. See y’all later! Byeee.

p.s. I don’t even know who I'm talking to. Let’s pretend there’s someone reading this. Hey, you! :)
