christmas break boredom
ok i know for a fact i would rather have christmas break than like a busy school week but omgggg i get bored too easily... on days where i have nothing to do i just walk around aimlessly worst ever
in order to quell this boredom ive just been watching like a lot of movies... ive been trying to be on my iphone less but when i have nothing better to do it gets so hard.. ive considered redownloading tiktok but i wont let that happen... i barely like instagram bc i get trapped in reels
at the beginning of break tho i had the opposite problem i had to go to like a bajillion peoples houses for christmas i was too busy. thats just the life of the famous i guess!
my christmas gift to you all is a picture of this beautiful charcuterie board i made when my family hosted:
i outdid myself with this one
when i am not sitting around aimlessly or celebrating one bajillion christmases i am hanging out with friends! i got to see roni u already know... went to jollibee delicious of course... as always...
also celebrated new years at michaels house is it just me or is jackbox the scariest game ever im so nervous everytime i put in a quiplash that no one will laugh
post quiplash nap... i won of course...
even though ive been driving for well over a year i still get so scared at the idea of driving on the feeder. freeway im fine but DONT put me on the feeder i will cry. it took me like 20 minutes longer to take charlotte home from the movies (more on that later...) bc of it but it was WORTH IT!
also i was able to get another lip stain YESS! i love lip products i feel like even though i put on makeup everyday u cant rlly tell until i put on that lip... me personally im a big red lip girl but i feel like its too striking for school so i go for a nice berry or dark pink
i had a beautiful day in houston with some of the acawomen.. LOVE THEM! stella is back from boston so her roni morgan and i went to houston museum of natural science. if i am being honest i have already been there a bajillion times so i did not care so much about like reading and learning abt the taxidermized animals or whatever as much as i did talking to my girls... we also went shopping ate went to trader joes CLASSIC DAY OUT STUFF!
final thing ive been spending my break doing is acadec meetings blah blah blah BORING!!!! we did get mod pizza tho.. whatever
should auld acquaintance be forgot... whatever that means...
new years resolutions:
- i want to be on my iphone like wayyy less. i feel like i get greater joy by doing other things like watching movies talking to those around me etc but it is so so easy to open her up and scroll for hours but this year I WILL STOP! one thing ive been trying to do is not reach for her first thing in the morning like get up wash face get ready THEN look at her.
- I WANT TO READ MORE!!! i have a lot of books that i should be reading or i started and gave up but i rlly rlly want to read more. and like actually think abt the books too like analyze them apply them to my life afterwards
- ive noticed when i tell people to do things i can be very timid like "uhh can you please do this" or if im speaking in class ill be like "i think it might be ___ but im not sure.." NO MORE!! im going to have a blind confidence all the time
- i want to journal like at least a couple times a week. i currently have a journal and she is beautiful and green and handmade but i only ever write in her when i am losing my mind. i want to journal all the time now and have it be a place to self reflect and improve myself whatever
- i want to start writing out full reviews for movies. i have a letterboxd (here) but i typically do joke reviews and i want to start like. actually thinking abt the movies i watch. i like watching movies i like thinking abt them i just dont like writing abt them i guess. NO MORE!
reese recs
movies
i have been watching a lot of movies over the break..
- PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE. SO GOOD. i watched it in middle school and didnt like it bc it was long and french but i felt like it was time for a redo... I WAS RIGHT!
- saltburn. this is actually NOT a reese rec this is a reese complaint. this movie is way overhyped i thought it would be good but it was just bad. it was trying to be weird but couldnt fully commit (the bathtub scene wasnt the craziest thing ever like everyone says it was, and the "im a vampire" scene was ridiculous). the more i think about it the more i hate this movie
- right after saltburn i watched eyes wide shut. THAT is how you do an erotic thriller.
- poor things. saw this one with charlotte (mentioned earlier) SOOO GOOD best movie of 2023 in my opinion. beautifully handled themes of feminism and control while also talking abt self disovery and the beauty (and pain) of life. AND SO FUNNY! and so pretty. ugh
- 20th century women was the first movie to make me cry in a hot minute. i love any movie abt teens and their relationships with their mothers... what can i say...
- theater camp i think i would like this movie more if i was in theater but i am just an outsider that kinda thinks theyre a little weird sometimes (some of them). i watched it for ayo edibiri but she was barely in the scenes. ben platt was tho... gross
music
- i need to make a new playlist ASAP. hopefully that will be on the next blog post
- baby im yours by cass elliot i am just a girl and sometimes i daydream about my wedding and i want this song to play at some point. so sweet
- i have been listening to kiss me thru the phone by soulja boy while i drive
- renaissance by beyonce when i think abt how harry styles (who i have major beef with) won the grammy over her i get so mad
- it is cold so i have to listen to the freewheelin bob dylan by bob dylan (shocker) and pretend to do the jacket thing in the album. side tangent is the timothee chalamet bob dylan biopic real bc i have mixed feelings abt that. also frther side tangent i heard that maestro was bad.
- i listen to fiona apple while i study and also while i do everything else. i love her
tv shows
- i started watching white lotus and i like it so far. i am a big fan of the way jennifer coolidges voice sounds... also i didnt know sydney sweeney (my twin) was in this
- thats the only tv show ive watched lately. i will however use this time to mention drag race season 16 bc it comes out TODAY and i am oh so excited.. nymphia wind is my winner. i am trying not to look at spoilers but i accidentally looked at emilios screen once in class so i know plane janes placement. whatever...
books
- before this break ends i WILL finish reading audre lorde's zami a new spelling of my name. I WILL! i am only a little over 60 pages in so far and i like it. i like the biomythography concept a lot, where some of it is real biography stuff and other is myth, because it causes me to think more about what i just read and if it is real and the significance and all that.

general reese thoughts
- ok im pretty sure i know where im going to go to college (sorry morgan...) im not announcing it until march tho just in case but.. i am excited thinking about college! i had fun in high school but do not think i will miss it. i am excited for clubs and meeting new people and being on my own. and being in a city and not a suburb
- i do not want to major in stem but i do want money. i also do not want a fake job where i just send emails all day. needless to say i am unsure what i will major in. currently i selected my major as neuroscience which i guess i would be fine with... but again i am not preferring stem. only time can tell i guess
- the past couple months my skincare routine has been very barebones and my skin has looked AMAZING. i know you all have noticed... now i am wearing sunscreen again and already have a pimple. my first in WEEKS. big skincare exists... food for thought..
- nobody cuts it close like i do. i regularly have like a tablespoon left in my gas tank. my phone is on 3% WHILE i write this. and i am not going to put it on the charger until it is on 1% because it is too far away. i live life on the edge what can i say
- this is MY YEAR! i mean that... i feel it in my bones..
