Where the heck did you come from?! Time really does fly! I keeping my fingers tightly crossed that you bring some long stretches of sunshine with you. I'm not one for hot weather, but after weeks and weeks of endless rain I'm certainly willing to cope with some humid nights in return for some blue skies and sunny days. I'm envisioning warm afternoons outside in the garden, reading a good book with a glass of cold lemonade in hand. The reality of that will probably mean an attack of bees too but I'll ignore that!
My first few weeks of being 25 have actually been incredibly salubrious. This is definitely the beginning of a new chapter in my life. I've been starting to have a good sift through a lot of my belongings and parting with some things that don't reflect me as well as they used to has been eminently cathartic. On my list for this month is my wardrobe, mostly my excessive belt collection and ten million floral dresses. I don't think I've worn a floral dress or a belt in well over a year so it seems odd to keep hold of so many. They remind me of my late teens, which is why I think I've been so unwilling to part with them until now. But I think it's time.
There are currently a ridiculous amount of books heading my way that I'm going to make my way through before next term starts. One of my favourite things about University is the ridiculously long reading lists they give me. It means I can buy books without any of the guilt. The ultimate excuse for book buying is education. Thankfully I'm also looking forward to reading all of them. The feeling of having to read something you're just not that interested in isn't a good one and I've definitely had my fair share of those before, but I think I've finally mastered the art of successful module choosing.
Lets go, June! I sure hope you're a good one!

I cannot believe June has come around so quickly!
ReplyDeleteFor me, it means the end of first year at uni which is soooo sad :(

Definitely! xo
DeleteBest of luck sorting through your wardrobe - that's one of my least favourite chores as I always look at something and think 'Oh well I might wear this' and then I end up getting rid of nothing! xo
ReplyDeleteSarah @ PolkaDotLemon
Hehe I totally do that too, but I'm not letting myself this time! xo
DeleteThere's nothing like a good clear out :) I've just finished my first year of uni so I'll be doing the same thing I think. Enjoy reading all your books! xx
ReplyDeleteThank youuu!! xo
DeleteDo I have today's post to thank for this beautiful sunshine? ;) I definitely need to sort my wardrobe out : I'm running out of space!

DeleteSame here with the big reading list :) Although I'm done with my bachelor thesis already, I still need to study for four exams this Summer ... eeek! So excited to be done with this and proceed to the next new chapter of University, maybe in the UK? Or as a good friend would correct me: "Perhaps!" :D
ReplyDeleteCan't wait 'til I am 25. Why? Because I like answering "I'm 25" to people who mistake me for being 19 or something ;) They seem so shocked! (good genes, or young looks, some say)
Good luck for your exams lovely! xo
DeleteI have felt this spring has been a real new beginning, not just me! The wardrobe catharsis is always such a good feeling
ReplyDeleteTotally agree! xo
DeleteI wish I could feel the same way about books and classes! I can't believe it's June either. It seemed like a it was just the beginning of May a week ago.

ReplyDeletethank you lovely! xo
DeleteOh, I couldn't agree more! I used to hate it when there was books I just wasn't keen on, and then having to slog through them was a nightmare. It's always a pleasure discovering real treasures though, books you might not have picked up yourself, and then you end up loving them! xxx
ReplyDeleteTotally agree <3
DeleteI feel like May didn't even happen?! happy June!

I know right! Did we skip it by accident? xx
DeleteThis post reminds me of my favourite quote of the moment from Humans of New York: "Here there are no loopholes or biases to favor more powerful vessels. Every ship is equal, and no one is more powerful than the sea."
ReplyDeleteIt's literally talking about the sea, but I think it applies to your sailboat analogy quite nicely.

DeleteI hope June is kind to you lovely Jennie, it's only what you deserve! <3
ReplyDeleteIt's exciting that you feel you're starting a new chapter, how lovely and such a nice way to see in the upcoming summer months too. It is scary, isn't it? Feels like Christmas was only last week! ;-)

Thank you sweet! xoxo
DeleteI know, I can't believe it's June either!! My wardrobe is on my mind this month, too, except that I'm going the other way and adding to it! Big scary move for me. Hope you enjoy wading through your reading list this term! xx
ReplyDeleteooh enjoy!! xo
