october 2018 wrap up 🍁🎃🍂

 

October was an incredible mess, that’s the least I can say about it. It was essentially marked by my first full month back at university which, trust me, was definitely something. This month I also decided to change my Instagram theme after pretty much a year of good and loyal service. I liked my old theme, but I truly needed the change, and I don’t know, I’m really happy about it, I like how it turned out! And because one change never comes on its own, I also decided to change a bit the way I do my monthly wrap up and tbr. Not a drastic change, but just to make it a bit more personal.

I think this month was a tiny bit special. Because I saw BTS in Paris, so yeah, I listened to a lot of BTS before and after the concert, I’m still quite emotional about it // I also listened to Lay’s newest album NAMANANA, and I’m in love. I prefer the songs in Chinese to the ones in English tho — they’re technically the same ones, just in two different languages. I think my favourite song of the album is 香水 (Flavor), then followed by 愛到這 (Give Me A Chance) // Of course I listened to RM’s playlist mono. which blew me away. I think I’ve never been so emotional while listening to RM sing. He made me want to cry from the very beginning and I’m extremely proud of him. My two favourite songs are uhgood and everythingoes

when it comes to my blog, yeah, I didn’t do much, I hadn’t expected to be so busy with university. But I managed to write a bit I guess: october tbr, why I love listening to audiobooks, the coffee book tag, one month into my sophomore year as an english major, finally fall book tag // once again, I didn’t write anything for my book, which is quite disappointing honestly, but I reread the chapters I previously wrote and changed a few things. I really want to do Nanowrimo this year, so I needed to be done with my reread and changes before that

That’s it for today, I’ll see you soon, have a nice day guys 🌻
