A Few Of My Favorite Things


1) The Night the Scarecrow Walked. When I was little, my mom read this book to me nearly every night before I went to sleep. It's a spooky story with some pretty unsettling illustrations which says a lot about me now haha.

2) Headphones. I have weirdly small ear holes so Airpods hurt to wear and fall out of my ears so my boyfriend got me these headphones for Christmas. They're super comfy and have an awesome sound quality so I wear them everywhere. 

3) Film Strip. My little sister and I loved the movie Brother Bear growing up and one time she gave me this film strip from the tape so I use it as a bookmark. 

4) Lucky Cat. One of my best childhood friends gave me this porcelain cat that means "good luck in education" before I left for college. We haven't really spoken in years but it still means a lot to me. 

5) Polaroids. I started taking polaroids of me and my friends this last semester to make a scrapbook of memories of my last few months of college. 

6) Butterfly Knife. I have ADHD and anxiety and I use this to flip around in my hand pretty much 24/7 to calm my nerves.
