Weekly Favorites #21

Hey friends!

It’s the quiet un-sound that happens after a thick snowfall, Sam Cote, here with another Weekly Favorites.

What I’m Reading: I’ve officially finished my fiftieth book for the year! I finished the audiobook of Wordslut by Amanda Montell. Still two to go to meet my reading goal of 52, which are both underway: I’m continuing The Last Argument of Kings (28%) and started The Perks of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky (34%). I’m on track and confident about it, and am enjoying the books so far! I might even surpass 52 at this rate 👀

What I’m Listening To: I’m listening to Ludovico Einaudi as I write this. Nothing crazy or out of the ordinary. I’s nice to listen to artists who I’ve had on repeat for years. It feels like walking down a well-worn path, especially during finals week. I’ll take all the comfort I can get.

What I’m Watching: I’ve been continuing with Andor. I wasn’t really grabbed by the first two episodes, but episodes three and four have me a bit mor interested. If something better comes along, I could definitely lose interest– It’s mostly the incredible reviews that are keeping me invested right now.

What I’m Making: Finals! I’m working with a group of 9 to make a podcast for a final project, and my job is to edit all the parts together. It’s nearly done, and I’ll put the final touches on after I write this. I also have two papers left (one of which is harder than the other). Final push, and then I’ll be done until January!

How I Slow Down & Unplug: Reading and tea, baby. Reading and tea. The nights I do it, I am able to stick to my sleep schedule, and nights when I don’t it is nearly impossible. Works like a charm.
