August Recap, An Announcement And How I Did On My Summer Goals

 Hello everyone! I hope that you've all had a good month. I'll get into the recap in just a minute, but first I wanted to say that I'm going to be taking a bit of a break from blogging in September. I probably won't be gone for the whole month, but I won't be posting as frequently. Between responsibilities [like school, sports and chores] and working on my novel, plus wanting to script and edit some videos and dealing with blogging burnout, I just want to take a short break. Hopefully you'll all understand. 
So, here's the recap. 
Books I Read in August









Movies/TV Shows I Watched In August
Season One and part of Season Two
Again, Season One and part of Season Two


What I Did In August
Watch me just forget everything I did, lol.
-Some of my friends came over to visit this month! It was really fun to get to see them and hang out with them again. We even got to go horseback riding this time. 
-I can't remember if I wrote this in my last recap but I have a new-ish WIP I've been working on and I really enjoy it. 
-I also joined a cross country team and I think my endurance is better than it was before, but I'm still not great. We just had our first meet and that was fun. 
-Also, school starts tomorrow, and I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. 
Now it's time for me to say how I did on my summer goals.
Read 30 Books
Nope. I did read 22 books, though, so I got pretty close. 
Go Hiking
No. I didn't get to do that this summer. 
Try Out A New Hobby
Yup. This summer I've been making more YouTube videos and it's been fun. 
Watch New Movies
Yeah, I definitely did this. 
Make Some YouTube Videos
Yup! I've filmed a few and I'm just waiting to put them up. 
Make Some Money
Yes, I did make some money, mostly from petsetting. 
Dye My Hair
Yes, it's now pink/purple again. 
Go Swimming
Yes, I did this and it was really fun. 
Spend More Time With Friends
I did lots of this. I've had friends visit twice this summer. 
Learn Something New
Yeah. I've read more non-fiction and have started watching some more history/psychology videos on YouTube so I think I've learned a few new things. 
So, that was my August. How was it for you all?

    I completely understand taking a break <3 Having blogging burnout is the WORST! But once you take a break and then come back it's so worth it! Because then you're filled with all this motivation and inspiration! Sorry I got a bit carried away there. Have an amazing time off!

    Glad you're taking a break. Way to do so many of your summer goals. You're WAY more motivated than I ever was cause I don't remember ever having one single summer goal

      Thanks! I did! It was a really great reading month. Ahh, there are so many good characters on that show! Off the top of my head, maybe Emma or Ruby.

    Your achievements with all your summer goals are inspiring! I've honestly never considered making summer goals myself; maybe I'll try that this year. :)

YouTube Videos That Make Me Happy

Yellowjackets Cast Plays I Dare You If you've never watched Yellowjackets, don't worry because I haven't either. They don't talk a lot about the show in this video. It's basically just them playing Truth or Dare. I'm not sure why this video makes me so happy, but it does. I just love the vibe of every single person in this video, and I want to be best friends with all of them.  Yellowjackets Cast Acts Out Emojis Again, I just love this cast so much. I love their dynamic together, and they all seem like really fun, cool people. Plus, it's just a fun one to watch. The Outer Banks Cast Reads Thirst Tweets This video is completely hilarious. I love OBX, and I love the cast, but, again, you don't have to watch the show to watch this interview. Props to whoever tweeted these for being so creative.  Chris Pine, Hugh Grant and Michelle Rodriguez Answer The Web's Most Searched Questions I haven't seen Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves yet [althoug

 Hello! It's been SO LONG since I've posted, and I'm really, really sorry about that. I didn't mean to take a hiatus, but my life has just been busy, and I was struggling to find inspiration for blogging, but I am back and feeling better than ever. I might make an update post, but for right now, I just wanted to do something fun. I saw Annie Elainey do a video like this, and I wanted to do one, too-----except in blog post form. If any of you guys want to do something like this, feel free to-----just link back to my blog. With that being said, here's my list.  #1: Anne Shirley Cuthbert, Anne of Green Gables/Anne With an E Anne was probably more relatable to me as a preteen, but I still think we have a lot in common. She's very smart, and loves learning new things, which is very relatable to me. She's very creative and has a huge imagination [#me], and can often get more caught up in her daydreams than in reality. She's also very, very emotional and sensit

Ten Things Of Ten Things Tag

 Hello! So, I had my blogoversary back in May, but I was super busy at the time, so I didn't get a post up, but I definitely wanted to do something, so I decided to do this. Christine Smith did a post like this on her blog, and I thought it'd be a fun idea. Full credit to her for the awesome idea. First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who has followed, read and commented on my blog. Your support means so much to me. It's been a bright spot in my life during hard times, and it adds to my joy during good times. I also can't believe that it's been four years since I started blogging. That's crazy to me.  *clears throat* Okay, I should probably get on with the tag now, right? 10 Personality Things 1: I am extremely hyperactive about 90% of the time. I'm very energetic and bouncy, and just have the energy of a six-year-old. 2: I'm also extremely curious, and am always wanting to know why people do things or why things happen. 3: I am either an INFP or
