Chapter Nine

Merry Christmas!!! I hope your crazy day goes well and your family isn’t too overwhelming.

You too! Let me know how your dad likes that book I suggested. Maybe we can IM again soon?

Don’t you just hate those weird in-between days from Christmas to New Year’s Eve? Now with it being winter break from school, too, it’s like what am I even doing? I’m sleeping weird hours, I’m spending way too much time in bed, and can’t find anything to watch on Netflix. Hopefully, your break has been way more productive than mine.

I wish! The days are so short, nights so long…. I can only clean my apartment so many times. I did Marie Kondo my stuff before NYE, instead of after, so I guess that’s good? I, too, have made a nest in my bed that I leave only for food. I hate to be one of those people to get a gym membership around this time, but it’s too cold for me to run.

(I know I’m an hour early, but) Happy New Year!!!

I have a friend who throws crazy huge parties. This NYE it’s Roaring Twenties-themed, obviously. I actually found a flapper dress on sss that arrived just in time. How’d your mobster look turn out?

Talk to you in the New Year!

Happy New Year!!! (Sorry I’m an hour late.)

I, too, am at a crazy huge party. Though, I bet all of them are tonight. My mobster look has turned out rather well, thank you! And I saw that shot of your dress with the champagne and roses, well done! (Beautiful dress from what I can tell.)

Talk soon!

First day back to school, how are you feeling? I know nothing personal, but are you liking your classes so far? I’m actually really pleased with my selection. Though, unlike last semester, I will have to spend some time on campus in between classes.

Still motivated from the start of the year? I think I’m on the verge of giving up on my resolutions (and it’s not even February).

I took your advice and Sparked Joy’ed my apartment, (except my closet. I have a Monica’s closet situation). I’m not one of those “This is my year” people, but I am aware of some changes I need to make.

If you need any help keeping your perfect GPA, let me know.

Sorry for the delay. Can’t believe the first week of school is done already! I’ve turned into a planner girl and I’m loving it. It’s so satisfying to have everything organize and to be able to cross things off on the daily.

I’m really like my classes overall, and I think it’ll be easy enough to translate my work ethic from last semester to this one. I will say I’m rather bummed that my roommate/BFF decided not to take one of my classes with me and in the same class the kid I hate from last semester is there.

I actually don’t have to spend time on campus! This is a little bit of a bummer because my dad got me a new deck of cards (rose gold) and I was looking forward to playing solitaire in the library.

If you need any help staying motivated for your resolutions, let me know!

Maybe it’s because I’m a girl, but I absolutely love Valentine’s Day. I bet you’re more sensible than that, though, huh? A typical guy… probably think it’s stupid.

Well, my roommate/BFF is neither typical nor a guy but hates it just as much. So, any decorating I may want to do is limited to my room.

It’s not even February yet!

But real talk, I’m a huge softy. I love Valentine’s Day when I have a girlfriend. White and red are a great combination and roses are one of the best flowers.

I don’t know how much I can take of frilly stuff in particular, but I don’t mind hearts so much. I’m always willing to get a sappy card for a GF.

Oh, and February fifteenth candy sale? Hell yeah.
