Happy Hub: Mamma Mia!, Waitress, JMac, & (a little bit) More!

I am shocked. I don't think I have ever had such a sparse Happy Hub, but I also don't feel like this month was bad. I guess it goes to show how paying attention to the little things in life can make you just as happy as the big things.

Happy Hub: Logan, Beauty and the Beast, San Francisco, & More!

I did not intend for this Happy Hub to be so wordy but it seems it was unavoidable. What can I say? There was a ton to be happy about this month! School just resumed but I am more than willing to forget about it all for a while to focus on all the good things I experienced in March.

Happy Hub: NEWSIES, Hidden Figures, Dear Evan Hansen, & More!

Are we sure that this month is the shortest of the year? Because it has felt like one of the longest I've had in, well, months. Thankfully I had quality time with family and friends, as well as a whole boatload of music to get me through it. Where would I be without three day weekends?

Happy Hub: La La Land, Hamlet, Baracky Road, & More!

January 2017 sure has been a tumultuous month. There were as many highs as there were lows but today we're only going to be talking about the good stuff (like ice cream!). Nothing like going into a new month with a smile on your face! 😊

Happy Hub: Rogue One, Sing, the Final Burger, & More!

Welcome to 2017! I feel like I've been steamrolled by 2016 but the bright side is at this point the only thing I can do is slowly reinflate. That's how human bodies work, right? While the world has dig itself even deeper into the hole of despair, December has been pretty fun in my personal life. We have a lot of ground to cover to so let's get to it!

Happy Hub: Doctor Strange, Moana, Thanksgiving, & More!

I'm confused... November is already over? Has another month really gone by as I slaved away doing homework and not finding time to read??? It wasn't all for naught. There were a bunch of things worth being happy about and I made sure to not forget about them as I worked my butt off.

Happy Hub: Newsies, Museum of Glass, Hamilton's America, & More!

So you may have noticed I didn't post a Happy Hub for September. Maybe you didn't. Either way, this is a weird Happy Hub for me. I feel like I've got a lot to write about but at the same time it also feels like I've got nothing. I'm not sure where this month went. (I actually do know where this month went and it all went to Newsies. More on that under the cut!)

Happy Hub: Tunes Haul, Suicide Squad, Olympics, & More!

It's been quite the eventful month for me, but this kind of thing only happens once every two years (and I only get to fully watch every four years because school) so I can make an exception for not really doing anything this month. You'll find that this is a fairly long Happy Hub. I was surprised when it turned out to be this much but when you wake up early to, say, watch the Olympics, you have more time in the day in general. Hmm, maybe I should start waking up earlier... I'll think about it. For now, let's get on to the things that made me happy this month!

Happy Hub: Star Trek, Sweeney Todd, Yve Eats, & More!

In my 20 years, it's been a rare occurrence for me to be home for the month of July. It's usually the time when we're off on our family trip. I missed a lot of birthdays this way (sorry July babies). Since I have school this summer, we are stuck at home until the quarter is over. Thank goodness my school is on the quarter system so the school year doesn't start until almost October. #blessed. Until then, I have a lot of moments to maximize and I for sure had at least three this month. It's been a lot of school and cleaning, guys. Enough of my jabber. Let's get to the things that broke the monotony this month!

Happy Hub: X-Men, Finding Dory, 7/27, & (a lot) More!

Writing this month's Happy Hub felt a little strange. I was so busy towards the end of May that my May Happy Hub didn't end up seeing the light of day until mid-June. In effect, it feels like my June was only two weeks long. Surely that's not enough to fill an entire Happy Hub? (I was wrong. It's more than enough.)

Happy Hub: 20th Birthday, Civil War, Hamilton, and More!

May is always a big month for me and even having pushed some things into June, I've got a lot to cover. I've already postponed this blog post many times which probably worsened my time management. It's lulled me into a false sense of security. Now that the worst of it is over, it'll be easier to get back on schedule. There's more time for everything in summer.

Happy Hub: Mother's Day Breakfast

All week I've been debating whether to write and publish this post or not. On one hand, I have two midterms really close together, and on the other hand I have somewhat time sensitive content. Once I allowed to let myself put up this post late, I decided to go for it. As you've probably gathered from the title, I want to talk about what my family did for Mother's Day breakfast! In the past I've shared my input, but most of the planning and execution has been up to my dad. This year, I took charge of Mother's Day. The main part of the day for us is preparing and eating breakfast in "bed" (we actually do it in the bathroom, as per our family tradition). I started thinking about what I wanted to do in March and the ideas started coming together last month.

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!

Happy Hub: Zoya Rikki, Eddie the Eagle, Zootopia, & More!

We made it through another month! It feels like March has dragged its feet. It's been stressful, even though spring break made up with a fourth of it, and things starting up again for spring quarter. Only three more months until summer! As we look to the future, we cannot forget to live in the present. What better way to do that than by reading this month's Happy Hub?!

Happy Hub: Nine Track Mind, Deadpool, Zoya Blaze, & More!

A word of advice: grab a drink and/or a snack. You've got a long blog post ahead of you. February is the shortest month of the year (even if we do have one extra day this year) and according to my Happy Hub, I made the most out of it. I've written more than I meant to -- I wonder if that says more about my faves or about how I feel about my faves. I won't take up any more of your time with the intro, you've got plenty of reading ahead of you. Gear up and click the read more!

Happy Hub: Get Weird, Serial, The Force Awakens (... again), & More!

With all the homework I have this quarter, I forgot to take note of the things that make me happy. However, that's not to say I haven't been. I'm on a schedule unlike any I've had before (there are days without class until three in the afternoon!) so I'm trying to find time to think about my blog alongside all my other endeavors. With this schedule comes the illusion of having time before a blog post goes up. If you want to read about the things that made me happy this month, click that read more! I'll try to remember as much as I can!

Happy Hub: Most Anticipated 2016 Entertainment

Today I'm going to be trying something new. This will be labelled Happy Hub because everything I mention in this post makes me really happy and excited for the year to come. There's still going to be a regular Happy Hub next week, so think of this as a supplementary post. Every new year brings a lot in the entertainment industry and I am here to eat it all up. While there's plenty to choose from, there are a couple of things that I'm most excited for. In this post, I'm going to be pointing out my most highly anticipated item from each category. Maybe I'll shine some light on something you were previously unaware of and hopefully I can hear some of the things you're most excited for!

Happy Hub: Star Wars, Christmas, Four, & More!

There is so much to get to this month I don't really know where to begin. (Clearly I'm just saying that because we always start with Tunes, don't we?) I feel a little pressured because this is the last post of 2015. I have to make it a good one! I think I did a pretty good job but ultimately you'll be the judge of that. December's such a busy month it'd be a shame if I left something out so definitely let me know what I missed in the comments! Click that "read more" to see what I remembered to include!

Happy Hub: All American, The Good Dinosaur, Zoya Yuna, & More!

November felt really long this month (thanks to a certain class that will not be named... *cough* business law *cough*) but I managed to fit a lot in. Looking at this Happy Hub, it doesn't look like there's any more than any other month but I felt like a busy bee all month. Thankfully I had plenty of long weekends and days off because those were packed as well. Maybe I can pencil in some relaxation for winter break...

Happy Hub: The Martian, Emotion, Zoya Cassedy + Haven, & More!

Now that we're back to school, I'm having a harder time keeping track of my favorites -- or even having favorites for that matter. Despite the exams, homework, and general exhaustion, I've managed to squeeze in some favorites. Hopefully these are the things that will stand out in my memory when I look back on this blur of a month.
