Hey grilies and welcome back to the pod. I'm so excited about today's episode. I'm talking all about reading, how I got into it, book recommendations, and also how you can read more. So stay tuned because I'm super excited. So let's just get into the best and worst of the week.

So the best of the week was that I went live for the first time on my Instagram account and that was just super fun getting to talk with everyone

and answering all your questions about social media. I think I was live for around 50 minutes, which was a pretty long time, but it was much

better than I thought just because it's really similar to recording a podcast episode,

except for I was like staring at myself which was

kind of weird but I mean it was really fun and I liked it and I'm planning on going

live sometime this week to do a follow-up to the video I did last week so if you haven't

listened to that definitely do so give you all my tips for how to grow on

Instagram how to use reels a little bit on TikTok, stories, hashtags, whatever, everything you need to know,

everything I've learned since starting my Instagram account, so you're definitely going to want to

check that out after you listen to this episode. Okay, worse of the week is that starting on Monday, which is today

when the episode goes out. It is Thursday, December 31st when I'm recording so New Year's Eve which is super exciting and so but on the Monday I'm starting school again after holiday break which is kind of sad and I'm a little anxious about that because I'm actually going in person which in case you didn't know this whole past semester I was doing online

for my school, but that just became a little much and it wasn't very good for my mental health.

I wasn't doing as well as I should be in classes just because it was really

hard to learn like that, you know. But, um, yeah, so we're just gonna have to go back, which I mean is fine. I'm really excited to see some of my friends.

I haven't talked to some of them in a while, but a really annoying thing is that my second semester schedule, literally half my classes moved to

different periods so that means I'm going to be with different people which just

makes it more overwhelming.

I'm sure it'll be fine.

It's just like super annoying.

But yeah, a little worried about that,

because I mean, anytime school is starting again, I always get a little bit anxious even at the beginning of school
