2018 Fall Playlist🍁🍂

I love fall so much. The beautiful leaves, cold weather, occasional snow days(here where I live:)), Thanksgiving, and food. Can’t forget the food! To get in the mood, I thought I would do something a little out of the ordinary and share a list of songs I’ve been listening to recently. AKA, my fall playlist!

Japan VS US: SCHOOL

Hello, beautiful persons.

I have been homesick for Japan lately… I miss my family and the entire enviornment there. In case you’re new here or just didn’t know, my mom’s entire side of the family is in Japan. Like, everyone. She is the only person from her family in the States. Which makes me half Japanese(side note: the way Japan has things right now, when I turn 22 I have to choose Japanese citizenship or American citizenship because they don’t allow dual citizenship. Petition!! Please.). I’ve been privileged enough to be able to experience elementary and junior high there, and there are a lot of differences between Japanese schools and American schools. A disclaimer, though, when I say “experienced” school in Japan, I’ve attended for about 2 weeks every summer.  Also, this is all based off of what happened to me and the schools I went to. I’m sure there are different things and more similar things about schools in Japan and US depending on where you go:) Fun fact: I actually visited a Japanese school before an American school! (granted, it was a kindergarten tour thingy…) So here is Japan vs USA schooling! Comment/like if you think I should make Japan vs US a series!

Hello, beautiful people.

It’s been a tough couple of weeks. Tennis has been rapping up with Regionals and State, and on top of that something I have been dreading for almost an entire year finally hit. Do you know the feeling of knowing something will inevitably happen but not knowing when?

Those times are when you really need to cherish how much time you have left.

8 Categories of People in your Life

Hello, friends! Welcome to another post here on Avocado Thoughts. My sister told me today that I need to make a good friend at school. And I was like, who needs new friends when you have YouTube and Netflix?? Plus, I don’t have time for new friends. So I was like, there are a lot of different types of people in your life. Here’s who they are.

National Read a Book Day- 9/6/2018

Hey, readers. Today I have a very special post, mostly because I don’t like to talk about myself very much, and this will be a step up from what I usually post about. It’s September 6th, 2018, AKA National Read a Book Day and I thought I would share a little bit about my reading journey. That sounds so cheesy, but I guess here we go!

Answers to Hard Questions

Hello, darlings. How is Labor Day weekend treating you? Mine has been a long, relaxing time of watching To All the Boys I Loved Before(Watch it. Actually, read it first!! It’s so amazing. Peter Kavinsky is to DIE for. Sorry for that mini rant..) and just a nice time. I also had a few debates over some hard questions…

Tips on how to make a Workout Schedule and being Gym-less: feat. Circe

Hello, beautiful readers. Long time no post. I’m always like, Sorry I haven’t posted lately! Life has been beyond busy. Which is true, most of the time. I’d say my life right now is: Eat, Sleep, Excersise. Literally this over and over again, and unfortunately it’s draining my summer.

I hope you guys enjoy this post Circe wrote! Check out her other guest post here. She really saved me from a terrible case of blog-post-writer’s block that I’m having. Enjoy:)
