Bookshelf Thoughts


The other day I was looking up at my bookshelf because from where I sit in the bed, my eyes just wonder up to the right corner and there they are. My books. I have noticed I do this a lot when I'm sitting or laying in my bed. My eyes will just wonder up to the right corner of my room and I just look at my books.

I get a sense of happiness when I look at my books because reading makes me happy and I'm slowly building my collection of books and it feels great. I actually scrolled through my Instagram the other day and noticed that I had a few photos of my bookshelf and I noticed that each time the shelf was different. It had grown because I had gotten more books over time and that just makes me happy. It's actually the only part of my uni room that I keep updating and improving over time. Of course I've changed other parts of my room but this is the one that's probably changed the most.

It's crazy how these inanimate objects. These books can make me so happy. Probably because I know in each of those books is a story to be read. Most of these books I have read but some I still haven't got around to reading. Mostly because life's been getting in the way and I just haven't gotten around to reading. Which sucks because when I do get back into reading I absolutely love it.

Here's actually a timeline of how this particular bookshelf has changed.

 September 2016 - When I dedicated this shelf in my uni bedroom to my books.


November 2016 - As you can see over two months I've gained a few more books in just two months.


March 2017 - Just a few more books had been added but still there's a slight difference.



 October 2017 - My current bookshelf which is definetely a massive difference compared to last year. Harry Potter has taken up the most room but I've just gained more books which I am planning on reading at some point in third year. It just makes me happy seeing all my books here and I can't wait to start reading again.


Anyway, that's it from me today. I just kind of made an observation about my bookshelf in my uni bedroom and I thought I'd make a post about it. I makes me sad that I only have 8 months left of this bedroom and this bookshelf in particular. To most people this is just a shelf of books but to me it's a shelf of happiness and dedication. I'm proud of this shelf.

My question for you all is if you have a part of your room that just makes you so happy. Is there a part of your room that you always seem to look at. Maybe because it's within your line of sight when you're on your bed which you spend the majority of your time on. Maybe it's a part of your own house that just makes you so happy. Let me know in the comments below.

I'll see you again soon.

My Future Plans

Image
Planning for the future is probably one of the most scariest things. Especially when you have an end goal but have no idea how to achieve that goal. Of course many things can go wrong and you're kind of terrified to take that risk. That's how I'm feeling right now. I have the whole Christmas and New Year off which is essentially going to be spent planning what I'm going to do next. I want to move out of my mum's house by February. I want to get a job or an internship which is relevant to my degree. As you can probably tell, these are some major changes for me and I'm terrified but also kind of excited. I'm itching to start planning and I have spent several hours looking at flats to rents these past few months. Soon though it's all going to be real. I know it's going to be scary and I probably have no idea what I'm doing but at the same time, I can't wait for it all to happen. Life is about taking chances after all and sooner or later I...

30 Things To Do Before I'm 30

Image
I thought I would do one of those posts where I talk about things I want to do in the future and why not do a 30 things I want do before I'm 30 so I have about nine years to achieve these thirty goals for myself. It's also something I could look back on when I am thirty years old to see if I actually have achieved any of these things. Hopefully I will but we'll have to wait and see in nine years time. 1. Get my degree Now this is probably an obvious one as I'm in my third year of university but honestly after two years of doing university it would be nice if next year I could have a degree. I also thought I'd start this list with something I could definitely achieve (fingers crossed) before I'm thirty years old. 2. Visit Harry Potter Studio Tour/Harry Potter World/Both As I am a massive Harry Potter fan I would actually like to visit the studio tours in London or visit Harry Potter world in Walt Disney World because they look absolutely amazing and wo...

Chapter Eleven

Image
I feel like I say this at the start of every month but I can't believe how quickly October went. It felt like it was a complete blur and now we are in November. Just two more months left of 2024 which feels crazy to me cause I've done so much this year that this year has honestly been the best year for me. This month, I don't really have much planned. I actually finished my Christmas shopping a couple of days ago so I don't have any Christmas shopping to do this month which is great cause it means I can save a bit of money this month. I think I'm going to Manchester to enjoy the Christmas markets at the end of the month which I'm excited about. Plus I'm going to see the fireworks on bonfire night. Other than that, I don't really have much planned for this month. November is definitely a chill month for me especially when I've finished my christmas shopping at the end of October, it's usually a relaxing month for me. So yeah, I don't have anyt...
