#17: back to school
hi hi hi sisters ♡
welcome back to a new week! if you are new, i’m so happy to have you, you can look at old newsletters by clicking here for the archive ◡̈
OMG, so for the past couple of years ive really enjoyed baths, especially when I have period cramps, the hot water is soooo nice. and for the most part my baths have been pretty chill. I just sit in the hot water and relax. sometimes I read, sometimes I sit on my phone, sometimes I watch a little show, and sometimes I just sit there. but I just bought a bubble bath and I used it for the first time last night, and wowie I loved it. it really elevated the experience and made it feel so much more luxurious. and I know that you can possibly get a UTI from bubble baths, so make sure to rinse off well and pee after, but I think it will become a new weekly tradition for me, at least during the winter.
movies: I watched 6 movies this week haha. sometimes I dont even know how that happens, but I enjoyed all of them.
started off strong and sad with all of us strangers, wow that was a beautiful movie. paul mescal and andrew scott were amazing together. I then watched uncut gems with bjørn, and I will say that adam sandler was phenomenal, he really did such a great job, however the movie wasnt my ABSOLUTE fav, I’m glad I watched it. OMG and then I watched Godzilla Minus One, and holy cow, it was amazing. the cinematography was stunning, I loved the actors and the story line, and it was so incredibly moving. then I saw Mean Girls and I really enjoyed it. I had a lot of fun and am glad that it came out. alyssa, bjørn, and I went to see the iron claw, and wow that was a SAD movie. there is so many more things that happened to this family, I really want to read more about them. I think that zac efron did a great job, it was very intense and lots of half naked men doing stupid wrestling, but I really liked the message. and lastly for movie church we watched that awkward moment. it was from like 2014 and a silly little rom-com with zac efron, michael b jordan, and miles teller.
podcasts: I really liked this interview with Saorise-Monica Jackson, she is the main girl in Derry Girls (a wonderful show that everyone must watch) and the interview was sooo funny. I had to slow it down from my typical 2x speed because those irish accents were thicccc
music: I dont think I listened to ANY MUSIC this week… thats a shame, I need to get better at that
in my mind: I watched this amazing video edit of the best 25 films of 2023. the editing was amazing and I really enjoyed being able to see many films I have enjoyed from this year all in one place. of the 25 films I havent seen 14 of them, but I have heard of most of them. however, there were 8 films I hadn’t even heard of, which I found to be pretty surprising as I feel like I am well aware of movies that are coming out. but now I have more movies to add to my watch list!
in my stomach: bjørn and I made challah bread this weekend and it was soooo good. I did a six strand braid for the loaves, and the first one came out perfectly. i was very impressed with myself. we used the new york times recipe, highly recommend.
I’m procrastinating reading for school by doing this newsletter, that I already procrastinated… oops.
I know its very normal to feel like I dont know what I want to do with my life, but this past week I accepted an internship for the summer, and don’t get me wrong i’m excited about the internship and I think it will be enjoyable; I just also feel like it is a cop-out because it kinda fell into my lap and it was the only place I had an interview with (internship application season is really just beginning) and I immediately got the offer after the interview. part of me is feeling real lazy and I don’t want to put in the effort to try to find a different or “better” internship- with public interest law your summer internships don’t impact the long haul of your career like it would with big (corporate) law. so part of me is just feeling meh about school and the future and at this point I think i’ll just take any job that can pay the bills and try to enjoy life outside of work. but then also there’s part of me that is wanting to try to get a job I will LOVE and find to be so fulfilling and life changing and I dont know what I want to prioritize at the moment. but I guess I have 1.5 years to really start worrying about it.
in the meantime, I am really hoping I will enjoy this semester of school more than I did last semester. and I really would love to put in more effort into my classes. I did quite poorly in my constitutional structures (constitutional law) class and it almost tanked my gpa because of it… luckily that wasnt the case, but now I need to step it up to keep my gpa from bombing… oh to be a student
tiktok: America Ferrera’s beautiful speech; the happiest dog in the snow
pinterest: i’ve been obsessed with the aesthetic of the sound of music, here is a pic I love, and another one, and another one, and one more
instagram: renee rapp is so stunning; still thinking about how I feel about this; i’m obsessed with her
I want to hear about the books youre reading, the movies and shows youre watching, the music youre consuming!

your big sis, kaitlynn
