Welcome to 2022: Reading, Writing, & Self-Growth

Happy New Year, everyone!


Here we are in 2022, and how quick it came! I think we can all agree that 2021 threw us for another loop, or perhaps several hurdles and mountains to climb over. Life as an online college student also took on a new meaning with a heavy course load and experiencing loss. The final stretch of 2021 was a turbulent, unexpecting few months. It was meant to be a year of achieving every goal I set, but instead, it was full of learning and self-growth.


2022 will be a year of achieving goals, but at a much slower pace for myself. I will set up a plan to read, review, and write up a blog post once a week. In the final semester of college, it will be easier to have a space to come to with my reading. For this year, I have decided to not set a goal for reading but to enjoy reading and not feel pressured to finish a large stack of books.


With that being said, there are several books that I do intend to read, and will be discussing them below. Here we go!
