Chit Chat + Life Updates | No. 8

chit chat and life updates 8

It’s Friday yet again and I’m back with another life update post! I planned on doing these every other week but I actually have some fun stuff to share so we’re gonna chat today. Last week I asked Ryan to write what he’s been up to because I miss #Rydays. If you’re new here, my boyfriend Ryan used to come on the blog on Fridays and write some posts! You can check out past Rydays here. Anyway, I asked him to answer some questions last week but he got too busy during the day and couldn’t fill them out by the time I wanted to publish my post. Soooo I’m sharing his answers this week!

Watching: Game Of Thrones, Master Of None, Better Call Saul, Harry Potter (every time Kayla finishes a book we watch the movie!)
Listening to: Post Malone and awaiting his new album Beer Bongs & Bentleys
Dreaming of: Nashville
Eating: Peanut Butter & Jalapeno Jelly sandwiches. I can only seem to find the Jalapeno Jelly at Target in the summer time!
Learning: That Kayla doesn’t like waking up at 5 am
Wishing: For time off to hang out in West Chester at our new place
Loving: The new brunch spots we are trying out in WC!
Planning: To watch a lot of football very soon! Also vacations!

Here’s what’s going on with me:

  • I finally got my schedule for grad school (see below). I’m SO excited for all the classes I’ll be taking and my schedule is super commuter-friendly. If you didn’t know, I’ll be commuting to Newark from our new apartment in West Chester. It’s about a 40 minute drive. If you’ve commuted to school before, hit me with ALL your tips/tricks/advice!

  • I’ve gotten myself into a rut with HP. I haven’t read much at all over the past week and I need to get back into it! I’m not even halfway through Order of the Phoenix.
  • My planner post OFFICIALLY went live! I worked super hard on it and I always love scrolling through the finished product. Let me know what you think!
  • Recent purchases: my grad school textbooks (literally shelled out $250 for ONE semester… yikes) and this super cute library card tee from Bookshelf Tees (use the code CLEAROUT for 35% off)
  • This week was my last full week living in Honesdale! I can’t wait to move out and start getting ready for grad school. I have lots of fun back to school posts coming up so I hope you’re getting #excited.

What are you up to? Here are my questions for y’all this week:

  • What’s something fun you did this summer? When do you start school? The best book you read this summer?

    The 5th book was the hardest for me to read! I read them all when I was younger, and I vividly remember that it took me like three or four tries to finish it. I kept getting a few chapters in and giving up.Hopefully you don’t quit and start all over like I did!

      I’m trying to keep pushing through but it’s starting off very slow!

    So cute that Ryan pops on here sometimes! I don’t think I could ever get my husband too haha. Right now we are currently in the middle of renovating our kitchen!

      That sounds fun! He was reluctant at first but I think he likes doing it now haha

    Love reading your chit-chats! I commute to school and I find podcasts and audiobooks are great to make the commute easier. You can also make some playlists for your drive.

      Definitely going to download some audiobooks for sure! Signed up for my library’s OverDrive service so I can listen to some for free!

      That’s one show I don’t watch much with him. I didn’t really get into Breaking Bad until the final season so I don’t know much about it in general but Ryan seems to like it! It’s one show my dad actually watches too so I feel like it must be pretty good!

    • August 12, 2017 / 8:08 am

      I was a little iffy about the show when I watched the first half of season one but I’ve been catching episodes of season 2 here and there when Ryan watches them and I’m starting to like it more. I might give it a second chance! And yes… Ryan loves his GoT!

    Our fun thing was going to SD! School starts the 28th :/ and the best book I read was probably The Perfect Girl by Gilly Macmillan!

    • August 14, 2017 / 11:14 am

      My first day of actual classes is the 29th! Enjoy your last few weeks of freedom haha

    Something fun I did this summer was going to the Kendrick Lamar concert in DC! It was amazing! I also start school in about two weeks. I commute to school and it takes me around the same amount of time as you to get to school. Setting up a routine makes it way easier to manage your time.

      I love Kendrick Lamar! Definitely working on a good routine. It should be easy since most of my classes start at the same time every day anyway!

    I spent the summer with my family! Since I moved out and got married we haven’t spent as much time together so it was a nice change!

    One of the fun things I did this summer was go to Bonnaroo in Manchester, TN. Good Luck with graduate school this year!
