Happy Hub: Made In The A.M., BvS, Descendants, & More!

I'm riding an academic high with three excellent exam scores among other achievements that have all come at the tail end of this month. I guess that's something that should be included in this Happy Hub, but that's not really something I have a category for. I'm also very excited about the prospect of a warm May. Things are looking up, even though my next round of exams seem to be just around the corner?! I will choose to take that as a good sign because the more of the quarter I finish, the closer I am to summer. Summer! Imagine! No school! Sigh. I can dream about a couple months without (as many) responsibilities as I want, but in the meantime, we have lives to live and Hubs to Happy. Is that a thing? I'm gonna make it a thing. This was ramble-y. On to the favorites of this month!

#hairoftheweek: Double Bubble Fishtail

I didn't know it at the time, but the day I wore this hairstyle was the day Odin Reign Carter was born. My favorite Backstreet Boy has a little Backstreet Boy of his own! I fancy it fate that I wore one of my favorite hairstyles on the Backstreet Baby's literal birthday. Not only that, but the next day, April 20th, was the Backstreet Boys' anniversary! The group is 23 this year. Isn't that crazy?! All that Backstreet news and gorgeous weather plus the three midterms I had this week put me on a stressful roller coaster but the worst of it is behind us for now. Let's get on to the hairstyle!

#hairoftheweek: Traveling Lace Braid

After that gorgeous string of sunny days last week, I don't blame Mother Nature for taking a break. In fact, the cooler weather matched my academic mood more. It's all about stressing about the stress you know is coming. That theory doesn't explain this week, though. The climbing temperatures just seem like torture for the first round of midterms. My silver lining is knowing that by the end of Wednesday, that will be three fewer exams I have to take.

Book Talk: 25 Bookish Facts About Me

I love watching Booktube, the book community on Youtube, and some of my posts are pretty similar to the content you'd find on a Booktuber's channel. Surprisingly enough, one of the things I haven't tried yet are book tags. Since I have a couple open slots, I thought I'd have a go at one. This one is 25 Bookish Facts About Me, which originated on a channel that seems to have taken the video down. I followed the paper trail and it led me to a "This video is unavailable." page so that was fruitless. At least I tried. This tag is pretty self-explanatory so I'll just cut to the chase and get on with the facts!

#hairoftheweek: Mermaid Pull Through

I can't believe it's only the first week of April and we already have such summery weather. The first half of the week was still a bit chilly but Thursday, Friday, and the weekend were definitely sundress weather. As a whole, this week felt like a condensed representation of winter transitioning into spring. Very symbolic. I'm just excited to be able to slip on a flowy dress and twirl to my heart's desire.

Book Talk: March Wrap Up

What a month. My March was broken up into two distinct parts. The first half seems like years ago and the second half was a turbulent combination of finals week and spring break. Personally, I feel like I branched out a little bit this month. I mean, they're all books I was already planning on reading, but a couple of them are not the genre I typically reach for. Regardless of genre, I enjoyed reading every single book in this post. I got to revisit some familiar worlds as well as introduce myself to some new ones.

#hairoftheweek: French Four Strand Accent

The way schedules work out between Winter and Spring leaves no time for rest in between the seasons but I'm more than happy to jump right in. There are so many amazing hairstyles out there just waiting for me to try them. It's only the first week and we're already having such warm, sunny weather. We've been having a warm winter so fingers crossed for a warm Washington spring as well. Lord knows we don't get it as often as we deserve.
