December Favourites

It’s the end of the year! It’s so weird that an entire YEAR has gone by. I was confused about whether to do a monthly favourites post or a yearly favourites post or both; finally decided to just do a monthly favourites post. So let’s get started…

1. Parties!!
December has been a month of parties. Well, only two, to be precise, but for me that’s a LOT. The first was this Harry Potter themed party, where you had to dress in your house colors and for each drink you finished, your house got a point! A cool idea, but the party was hosted by two guys, and so it ended up being one of those parties where everyone is just trying to get as drunk as possible. It was a very typical college party- everyone was getting drunk, there was random dancing, and even more random making out. I had one drink. It was also a bring your own alcohol party, so I had to ask other people to share. I did have fun though, because after a point, Si and a couple of our other friends and I just occupied one of the sofas and observed.

The second party was a pajama party! Hosted by one of my friend’s roommates as a celebration of his graduating. This was mostly people I knew, and there weren’t too many people, so by the end of the night id spoken to everyone. And I didn’t get drunk again, mostly because I had to come back home and pack because I was moving out of my dorm the next day. I had a really good time though. Si was there for this party too, and she’s become such a good friend, I am so happy to know her. She's also planning to have her own Harry Potter themed party, probably sometime in Feb, so that’s something to look forward to.

2. Got through another semester!
That deserves a round of applause, especially since it’s been such a shit semester. But I made it through. Finals week was particularly awful, with me getting little to no sleep, and even less food. But it’s over now, and next semester looks VERY promising. I've got lovely classes to look forward to, as well as no more early classes. I’m just glad I made it through this one. It was tough, I hated almost every minute of it, but there were a few good moments and anyway, I don’t have to suffer through any more of it now.

3. Home.
I never ever thought I’d be this happy to be back, but I am. It’s been a week (holy shit, I’ve already been home a week, how the fuck did that happen?), and I’ve been so, SO happy. My family, my friends, my cat, my room, my BOOKS, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh… everything is so perfect. I suddenly have so much free time, I can read again! And catch up on TV shows and movies. And eat food that I don’t have to pay for. And spend all day in my pajamas if I want to. And meet my friends whenever I want! And text and get responses at once because we’re all in the same time zone! Hanging out with them is so relaxing, especially since we do the same shit we always did; nothing has changed. So. Much. Happiness.
Actually, it's more than that. So. Much. Contentment.

4. The Hobbit.
This was bittersweet, really. The movie was so fucking good. But I cried so much. For me, this was bigger than watching the final Harry Potter movie. Middle Earth has always meant SO MUCH more to me. It’s my home, literally. It’s where I would escape when I was younger and (I thought) my life was shit. Before Harry Potter, before Game of Thrones, before Doctor Who, before any and all other fandoms and worlds that I got into, I fell in love with Tolkien’s Middle Earth. And this last movie was the end of an era and it was just very overwhelming and emotional. And beautiful.

5. Tom Hiddleston and I are taking a break and I'm currently falling for (and I can’t believe these words are coming out of my mouth) Harry Styles.


He’s. So. Adorable. Why is he that way? I have been introduced to the joys of reading smut and fluff and I found this site with the most amazing Harry fics and ohhhhhhmyyyygodddd. My love for this boy is growing at a rate I didn’t ever expect. But I love him right now. I really do. 

So that’s all for now! Cheerio!
