Why can't it be fall yet?

September. It’s finally September! Time for apple picking, drinking hot chocolate, wearing sweaters and boots—oh, wait. It’s still 80 degrees outside.

I’m sure I’m not the only one disappointed that it isn’t 50 degrees outside yet. I just want to wear my leather jacket and boots! This week’s post is dedicated to that lovely season of leaves changing and the transition from getting iced drinks to getting hot drinks from Starbucks.

Since it isn’t fall yet, I’ve decided to make a list of things I absolutely love about my second favorite season.

1) Apple Picking

Really just everything about apples. My roommate and I just talked about how much we love foods with apples in them: candy apples, apple pie, apple crumble, apple turnovers. And picking the apples is the beginning of it all! There’s nothing like riding in the back of the truck, driving through rows and rows of apple trees, stopping to pick as many as will fit in the little plastic bag. Apple picking is the true sign that it’s fall.

                                                                   2) Wearing Boots

I have a bad addiction to buying boots. Every time I buy a new pair, I have to buy another pair that’s nearly identical but in a different color. And wearing boots just…feels right. Sure, I love my Converse and my gladiator sandals, but there’s something about wearing black knee-high boots. Maybe it’s because I feel like a spy?

3) Sweater Weather

Now, I love summer clothes. I love the crop tops and the flowy tank tops, but…I live for wearing my leather jacket. In the summer, I always bring it home, hoping that it will be cold enough to wear it—it never is. It’s like an old friend; it makes me so sad to see it hanging in the closet, just waiting to be reunited with me. I can’t wait to put it on for the first time of the season (Can you tell I love my leather jacket?). Not to mention sweaters. Sweaters, boots, leggings, and my leather jacket and I’m set. I could wear fall clothes for the rest of my life and be happy.

                                                       4) The Changing Leaves
Image Source
Spring is my favorite season, but fall is my favorite season on campus. I love when the leaves change colors; I get to walk to class under a blanket of gorgeous crimsons, scarlets, and golds. Fall at Indiana University is absolutely beautiful. Whenever my roommate and I catch the first glimpse of a single leaf changing colors, we just look at each other in excitement. Plus, the sound of leaves crunching underfoot is one of my favorite sounds.

5) 50 Degree Days
Image Source
This kind of goes with my affinity for my leather jacket. I just want it to stop being hot so I can wear jeans again! I’m beyond tired of this humidity; there’s no humidity in fall! I can finally wear my hair down without fear of it growing ten times bigger over the course of the day.


                                      6) Comfort Foods
Sure, you can make pot roast or meatloaf at any time of the year, but there’s just something so amazing about sitting at the dinner table, eating warm pot roast after smelling it all day, while watching the leaves fall outside. My roommate and I have already discussed when we plan to make our first pot roast. Now, we just have to wait for it to get cold enough!


Well, that concludes my list! I'm suddenly wanting to turn up our A/C in our apartment just to make it feel like fall inside...

Anyway, thank you for reading! Writing this blog has been a lot of fun so far, and I want to thank everyone who has been reading up to this point! Once I finish writing my book (I'm actually pretty close to the end!), I'll start posting little excerpts, character profiles, and other things about my book; I know that I haven't really said what my book is about yet, but I'm planning to once I finish. All in due time! Until then, you get to read more of my random ramblings.

Thanks again for reading, and be sure to subscribe!


Until next time!

Dream On

I’ve always been fascinated by dreams. It’s so amazing to me that our sub-conscience can create an entire world of impossibilities while we’re reenergizing for a new day. A couple years ago, I began keeping a dream journal; my dreams were always so odd and adventurous that I wanted to keep a record of them. Fast-forward to 5 years later, and I’ve gone through 1.75 journals. Writing my dreams down had a really interesting effect on me. When I go back and read my dreams, even the ones from five years ago, I find that I remember exactly what happened in the dream; I can picture it in my mind as clearly as I did the first night I had it.

Basically, I’m pretty into dreams.

So, this post is going to reflect that! I’ve put some tips for dreaming (for those who simply can’t seem to remember them when you wake up), tips for journaling those dreams, and a few interpretations of common objects and themes found in dreams. 


Dreaming
Image Source
It used to be believed that dreaming only occurred when you were in REM sleep, but this has been debunked. It is now found that dreams happen in all stages of sleep; however, the dreams had in REM sleep seem more realistic. Everyone has tons of dreams at night, though remember only a few or none at all. Here are some tips for remembering those adventures!

Get 8 hours of sleep.
I know. I get it. I’m in college; getting 8 hours of sleep? You might as well ask me to climb Mt. Everest. But it’s true. The more sleep you get, the more dreams you’ll remember.

Use your bed only for sleeping.
This one, too. Studying while sitting on my bed is so comfortable! But when you use your bed for anything other than sleep, your sub-conscience has a harder time sleeping when in the same space. Since the space has now been used for more than just sleep, it will be harder for the sub-conscience to associate the bed with sleeping. So, only sleep on your bed (I know. I’ll probably ignore this, too)!

Try to get all your sleep cycles in.
There’s actually a sleep calculator that, after you tell it what time you’re going to bed, tells you when to wake up so that you go through all your sleep cycles. Not only will this make you feel more awake—nothing is worse than having to wake up when you’re in the middle of deep sleep—but it will also help you to remember your dreams!


Journaling
That's right, Elena. Write all about your dreams of your vampire boyfriends! (Image Source)
My favorite thing! A lot of my dreams have inspired some of the short stories I’ve written.

Write in present tense.
This is so important!!! In order to put yourself back in the dream, you have to write it in present tense. When doing so, you picture your dream occurring at the same time as you’re writing it. It’s like writing down a live stream of what’s happening right in front of you. When I first started dream journaling, I wrote in past tense. But once I switched to present tense, I found that I was able to remember more of what progressed in my dreams.

Write it down as soon as you can!
It’s no secret that dreams seem to fade from your mind as soon as you wake up. Therefore, it’s imperative that you write it down as soon as you possibly can before too much of the dream fades from your memory! I’ve even typed up my dreams before to write down later, since physically writing dreams takes a lot longer. But no one said a dream journal had to be in an actual journal! Yours could be on your computer if it’s easier for you to type it up!

Try to stay true to what happened.
I find myself almost convincing myself that certain things happened in my dreams without them actually occurring at all! It’s very hard to remember exactly what happened and not edit your dreams. If you had a dream about a woman named Patches (I did once) make sure to keep her name the same (even though it makes no sense).


Interpretations
This movie messed with my head way too much (Image from Inception).
I remember that I had a dream about umbrellas once; there were umbrellas strewn on the ground throughout my entire dream. As soon as I woke up, I immediately searched for what umbrellas mean in a dream. It turns out umbrellas equal emotional protection from disappointments, which I thought was pretty deep for seeing umbrellas while I was asleep (DreamBible.Com). Here are some of the more common objects and themes and what their presences in dreams mean (Meanings found at DreamBible.Com).

Being Chased
The rising terror bubbling in your throat as you can’t seem to run fast enough to get away from some unknown entity—we’ve all been there. And it’s terrifying. Especially when you feel like you’re running in slow motion. Being chased in a dream represents situations that you want to avoid or feel are impossible to overcome. DreamBible.Com says that it “may also reflect something you don’t want to acknowledge”—running from the truth, essentially (DreamBible.Com). All I know is that I wake up panting and scared.

Nudity
Mm, the classic. Everyone has it. You’re going through your day when, all of a sudden, you look down and notice that you must have forgotten to put on clothes. Dreaming of being naked means that you may be feeling vulnerable. DreamBible suggests that an unexpected change might be causing you to feel like your private life is on display. So, basically exactly what you’d think. No clothes = no protection = vulnerability. It’s not fun.

School
I used to have dreams of going throughout my day at school; everything was completely normal…except I could fly. So, that was pretty fun. But dreaming of being at school usually represents social concerns or insecurities. It also may represent anxiety about how you’re perceived by others. DreamBible suggests that there may be something happening in your life that you’re sensitive about (DreamBible.Com). Sounds like high school to me.

Animals
I don’t usually dream of animals, personally, but when I do, they’re usually my pets who’ve turned into other animals! DreamBible says that to dream of animals represents parts of your personality based on the animal you see. They may also represent the untamed parts of yourself. If you’re fighting with an animal in your dream, it usually represents a part of yourself that you want or are trying to reject. Dreaming of a dead animal may reflect loss. Now that I think of it, I dreamt of a baby chick once—what does that say about my personality?

Death
Unfortunately, I’ve frequently had dreams about loved ones dying. DreamBible says “To dream about death represents change” (DreamBible.Com). It says that something in your life is transforming either for the better or for the worse. A part of your life has come to a close, and things are changing. DreamBible also suggests that death could mean failure or an actual loss.

Guns
I actually haven’t had too many dreams with guns in them, thank goodness. The meanings of guns in dreams varies depending on who is wielding the weapon. For instance, if you dream you are holding the gun, it represents a decision you need to make. On the other hand, if you dream of someone else wielding the gun, it symbolizes a decision that embarrassed you, or a bad choice (DreamBible.Com). Dreaming of actually shooting someone bad represents a decision where you overcame negative thinking. Dreaming of shooting someone good represents giving into negative thinking.

Flying
My favorite! The feeling of flying high up in the clouds is the most euphoric feeling I’ve encountered—of course, I was sleeping, but still! Dreaming of flying represents feelings of freedom from restrictions. You feel like nothing can hold you back. DreamBible says that flying in your dream may be a reflection of creative freedom of expression in waking life or escaping a burden (DreamBible.Com). On the other hand, dreaming of flying may show that you enjoy running from your responsibilities.

And that’s it! If you’ve experienced a theme or object frequently in your dreams, and it’s not listed here, try DreamBible.Com! All you do is type in the keyword, and tons of results come up! What’s the strangest dream you’ve ever had? Tell me in the comments! Thank you for reading!

Until next time!

Ten Signs You've Found the Perfect Roommate

It’s that time of year again. The time when you pack up all your things from home in preparation to move into your other home. It’s always bittersweet for me. I love living at home with my family during the summer and spending time with them. But I always find myself excited to move back to school and catch up with my friends. It feels like leading a double life; my life has been split in half. During the summer, I get to spend time with my family and high school friends, and during the school year, I get to spend time with my college friends. But this year is my senior year, and I’m bound and determined to make it the best year I’ve ever had! And already having the best roommate in the whole world, contributes significantly to my goal. So, this post is dedicated to my amazing roomie!

1) When you’re having a bad day, she surprises you with Baked! cookies.

2) You both decide to hit the gym, determined to exercise…then promptly come home and make brownies because you both ‘earned them’.
Image Source
3) She shares her clothes when you’re having an outfit emergency.
Image Source
4) You do each other’s makeup because “I can’t do my eyeliner as well as you can!”
Image Source
5) You take millions of Buzzfeed quizzes and laugh at each other’s results.
Image Source
6) You design wedding rings and dresses and hope that you both find someone who can afford to pay $20,000 for an engagement ring (maybe that’s just us…).
Image Source
7) You have a chill night in, watch movies and drink wine, when you both don’t feel like going out.
Image Source
8) But when you do go out, you have just as much fun!
Image Source
9) You attempt to cook fancy meals and settle for mac and cheese when it doesn’t work. 
Image Source
10) You're always there for each other and are a shoulder to cry on, a partner to laugh with, and a best friend forever!
Ah, I’m going to miss my roomie so much after this year! What has your roomie done to make you sure that they’re a perfect roommate? Comment below! And be sure to subscribe!

Until next time!

5 Awesome Pets for Apartments and Dorms

College can be one of the best times of your life, but it can also be one of the loneliest. Especially in dorms, where it feels like you’re trapped in a cave. A small, low-maintenance pet can bring happiness and light to any dreary dorm room or liven up an apartment! I’ve put together a list of five awesome pets perfect for dorm and apartment living. 

1) A Venus Flytrap
Personally, I think Venus Flytraps are awesome (obviously, because it’s on my list). I’m planning on getting one soon, just to have a living thing in our apartment, other than my roommate and I. It obviously can’t communicate with you or show emotions at all really, but I think it’s a great in-between pet for college! (I know it’s a plant. But still.)
Just pretend it's an Oddish! That's what I'm going to do anyway. This is my Oddish on Pokemon Go (Go Team Mystic)!
2) Parakeet
I had a parakeet for a year and half, and she lived in our apartment. Daisy was so fun to listen to; her incessant chirping brought happiness to our little place. A parakeet probably isn’t the best idea for a dorm, but it’d be great for an apartment. They’re relatively easy to take care of; just clean out their cage every once and a while and feed them a diet of seeds and vegetables.
This week's post was actually inspired by Daisy; she passed away earlier this week. I love you, Daisy!
3) Hermit Crab
A hermit crab would be a really cool pet to have in college! Though they are about as emotionless as a Venus Flytrap, they’re fun to mess around with. Just keep one in a little tank and feed it, cleaning the tank regularly. Easy enough, right?

4) Betta Fish
I had a Betta fish during my freshman year of college. He stayed in my dorm room on my desk. It was nice having something to talk to when my roommate was away; plus, it was a great way to meet new people. My floormates would pop in to see my fish every now and then. I cleaned out the tank in the community sink area, but it wasn’t too hard to take care of! My fish ended up coming with me to my apartment as well. I just fed him a pinch of food every day. He lived pretty long for a fish; about a year and a half!
His name was Macapuno, which is a Filipino coconut!
5) Rat
I know, I know. Rats get a bad rap. But my brother and sister-in-law had two rats for a while, and they were actually really cute! They have great personalities and are relatively easy to take care of. The only downsides are that your new pets may scare away some potential friends, but rats are honestly great pets. We watched my brother and sister-in-law’s rats for a while once, and my family all grew to like them.

If all else fails, you can always keep a plant in your dorm or apartment, just to have something to take care of. Sometimes, having to look after something is therapeutic. I know it was for me when I took care of Daisy. It helps to diffuse the stresses of school, and it’s nice to have a living thing relying on you. 

That’s all for this week! Be sure to subscribe and visit my Facebook page, “Emiliana Maye”!

6 Easy DIYs for a Bedroom Makeover!

Hello, everyone! I’ve decided my room is way overdo for a makeover, so this post is dedicated to DIY room decor! I, a poor college student, have a very tiny stream of income, so DIYs save my wallet a lot of money. Of course, I’ve found some of these tutorials on Pinterest and other blogs, so I do not claim ownership! Just click on the photos to open the tutorials. Here we go!

Himmeli Geometric Sculptures
So, the first DIY I found are these Himmeli sculptures on Ash and Crafts. I absolutely love how mine turned out. All you need is floral wire, tiny straws, and spray paint. Here is my finished product:

I made three: a diamond, as the tutorial shows, a pyramid, and a...quadrilateral-type shape. I originally saw these on the Urban Outfitters website, but theirs were for the wall. You can see their version here. I'm sure you could easily manipulate this tutorial to make sculptures for the wall!

I think I’m going to be going for a geometric, minimalist type theme for my room, so these sculptures will fit in perfectly.


Modern Mosaic Painting
I found this mosaic painting while browsing Pinterest! I love how each painting can turn out completely different every time, but they always look clean and minimalistic.


All you need is tape, paint, and a canvas! On the tutorial, it mentions using glitter, which I didn’t choose to do, but I love how it turned out!

Crepe Paper Succulent
I haven’t actually made this DIY yet, because I’ve yet to find a planter I like. But I have all the other materials waiting for me in my drawer. I am so excited to make these paper succulents—I won’t have to water them or try to make sure they don’t die (I’m not the best with plants)! 

Photo from Ash and Crafts website

I love how the crepe succulents work with the Himmeli sculptures, too; I’m going to try to find a geometric planter for mine so it all ties in nicely!

Sunshine Earring Box
I’m proud to say that this sunshine box was of my own creation! All I did was buy a wooden box from Jo-Ann Fabrics and paint it! I was tired of hanging my earrings up, so I painted this box to keep my earrings in. You can paint this box to match any theme.



Mirror with Necklace Hooks
This was actually my mom’s idea! We bought a cheap mirror from the dollar store and, after she covered it with fabric, drilled hooks into the sides. Now it acts as a necklace/bracelet display, and you don’t even have to walk far to see which necklace looks best with your outfit!
Thank you, Mom!
Painted Letters
This was also my mom’s idea—it’s a good piece of personalization for your room, and it lets all your friends know what your name is if they’ve forgotten it by the time they get to your room. Obviously. But it’s super simple to do. 

Just buy wooden letters--we got ours from Jo-Ann Fabrics--and paint them whatever color you want! Easy.


And that’s all! I’d love to see how your DIYs turn out, so feel free to comment below or message me via my Facebook page, ‘Emiliana Maye’! Happy crafting!

Until next time!

Cinematic Music: Are you studying or in an epic movie?

Music is everything. Have you ever tried to go on a drive without music? Have you ever watched a horror movie on mute? Have you ever been to a party with no music? Music creates the mood, the atmosphere for life, really. This is why it’s my strong belief that the kind of music you listen to while studying or writing can greatly impact the results. 

For me, I love to listen to cinematic music while studying. When the pulsing beat pounds on my eardrums, it feels like I'm preparing to go on a mission to save the world instead of trying to figure out the inflation rates in relation to unemployment. Listening to this type of music while writing also helps me to visualize the events more clearly, and I find it easier to put myself in my characters’ perspectives. 

So! I’ve put together a list of my favorite cinematic studying songs and incredible soundtracks from the website http://www.ambient-mixer.com. But before I start my list, let me just enthuse about this website. It’s. Amazing. Let's say you want to pretend you’re studying for your Charms exam in the Ravenclaw common room—there’s a soundtrack for that. Or maybe you want to relax in the gardens on Asgard—there’s a soundtrack for that. Maybe you just want to get away and read by the ocean—you get the point. AND you can even create your own soundtracks! When I studied for my finals last semester, I wasn’t sitting on my bed in my apartment rewriting my notes. I was on a pirate ship, patiently waiting to dock on the secret island before setting off to find the lost treasure. I can’t say enough good things about this website; you HAVE to try it.

But anyway, here’s my list of songs! Click the song titles to hear them for yourself!

This song has saved my story too many times to count. When I absolutely    
        can’t think of anything to write, or when I’m suffering from an awful case of 
        writer’s block, I put this song on repeat, and before I know it, my writer’s 
        block is gone. I call it my “Extreme Concentration” song.

2) Starchild by Thomas J Bergersen
This song is beautiful. The light piano at the beginning truly sounds like 
        starlight dripping from the sky, and I absolutely LOVE the storm sounds in 
        the background. Storms make me feel instantly creative and ready to snuggle 
        up in bed with my laptop to write. The middle of the song offers a majestic 
        sounding call-to-action almost. I feel like I’m about to embark on a grand 
        quest to save the princess! (I’ve also listened to this song 56 times, according 
        to iTunes).

3) "Light rain falling on the roof/window" by MattBrown22
       This soundtrack is so relaxing that it almost makes me doze off when I'm 
       supposed to be writing! I love listening to this soundtrack when it's a little 
       gloomy outside. I work best when it's raining or storming, so this soundtrack 
       does the trick!

4) Wolf King by Two Steps from Hell
For some reason, I always imagine some mystical sorceress singing the 
        beginning of this song. This song just feels like something huge is about to 
        happen. The steady beat almost feels like marching, and the chorus in the 
        background makes me think of a long cinematic shot of a mountainous 
        scenery. This song also happens to have my favorite type of chord 
        progressions (don’t know what it’s called, but the almost chromatic drop of 
        the 3rd chord always gets me).

5) Reap What We Sow by Position Music
        THE ENDING. This song has one of the most epic endings I’ve ever heard. It 
        feels like bombs are bursting in my head with each intense tech-sounding 
        explosion. This song is the epitome of building-up as it progresses. It’s as if 
        the longer you listen to the song, the closer you get to some big secret or the 
        ultimate enemy. I love this song so much, I’ve actually started making a short 
        video to it. I JUST LOVE THE END, OKAY?

6)  "Ravenclaw common room" by blaisezabini
       I am a proud Ravenclaw, so I love listening to this soundtrack and pretending 
       I'm in the Ravenclaw common room studying Charms in Hogwarts. This 
       soundtrack does wonders when I'm studying for my business exams. 
       Everything seems a little more fun if you pretend you're studying in Hogwarts, 
       right? At least it is for me!

7)   Ocean Princess by Thomas J Bergersen
The vocals in this song? AHH. The female vocals truly sound like an ocean 
        princess. I always imagine her in a cascading deep-blue dress, the silky fabric 
        whipping around her ankles as she stands on a craggy rock in the middle of 
        the violent ocean during a storm, unforgiving waves crashing down. Look, I 
        don’t know why she’s standing on a rock in the middle of the ocean, but she’s 
        the ocean princess, okay? I love love love her voice at 2:15, so light and…just 
        princess-sounding, I guess.
8) Unstoppable Forces by Epic Score
      This song just starts out epically. There’s no beating around the bush; it just 
      starts. It jumps right in. This song is perfect for writing the build-up to major 
      events like battles, confrontations, OR you can listen to it while getting ready 
      in the morning and feel like a bad-ass. My favorite part of this song starts 
      around the 1:14 mark to the end. The ending is what I like to call a heart-attack       
      ending. The accelerando, or the ‘speeding up’, at the end (starting at around 2:14)        
       mimics a steadily increasing heartbeat and I LOVE it.
9) "Storm on the Hogwarts Express" by pan
       As I said before, I work best when it's storming outside. Something about the 
       electric atmosphere and the menacing booms of thunder just sends my 
       creativity through the roof! So, pretending to be on the Hogwarts Express 
       WHILE it's raining when I'm writing? It's everything I could ever ask for. I 
       love playing this at a slightly lower volume while I put on the Spotify Deep 
       Dark Indie playlist simultaneously. Seriously though, I LOVE this website and 
       this atmosphere specifically. Please use it because it’s seriously a dream. I 
       don’t how I didn’t know about it sooner.

10) Blackheart by Two Steps from Hell
I think this song might actually be in my top favorite songs of all time. If I was          
        ranking these songs, this one would be #1. It’s one of those songs that just 
        makes you want to cry; it’s so beautiful…or maybe that’s just me. This song 
        just sounds like gut-wrenching passion and soul-aching longing. There’s so 
        much raw emotion in this song. Though it’s in a major key, it’s just so sad and        
        IT’S JUST BEAUTIFUL. I don’t know what it is about this song, but it’s a 
        masterpiece. Listen to this one until the end, okay? For me? Thanks. (PS: My 
        iTunes said that I’ve listened to this one A LOT. I won’t disclose the number…
        *nervous laugh*.)
11) Unstoppable by E.S. Posthumus
This song would be #2 on the list I mentioned above. This one builds and 
        builds until the explosive ending; it starts off a bit slow and menacing, but as 
        it goes on, the pounding beat draws you in until the end basically blows up. 
        And THE ENDING. This song’s ending is INTENSE. I actually made a short 
        video to this song and had lots of fun using short bursts of close-up shots to 
        accentuate each blast of notes. Now that I’m thinking of it, this ending might 
        be my favorite. Honestly, when this song ends, I feel out of breath. Is that 
        bad? Nah, I’m probably just out of shape. MOVING ON…

12)  Beneath the Brine by The Family Crest
        Let me just say, this song is everything I love. Dramatic chorus, yearning    
        strings, thundering orchestra. Thank you Discover Weekly playlist on Spotify 
        for introducing me to this amazing band! This song in particular really gets 
        my creative juices flowing. The song just oozes the desperation and 
        willingness to do anything to be with the one you love. I knew within the first 
        few seconds of hearing this for the first time that I'd love it. And now you will, 
        too! (Be sure to check out their other songs, too!)

13) Time by Hans Zimmer
Another song that tangles my soul into knots! This is more well-known since 
        it was written for Inception (AMAZING movie, by the way. If you haven’t seen          
        it, you NEED to). This song is perfect for writing sad, reflective scenes when 
        your character’s life just sucks. Everything is going wrong, and your character         
        just needs some time to reflect on how bad everything is. Not sure if you were 
        even looking for a song for this reason, but here’s one in case you ever need it!         
        I probably wouldn’t advise you to study to this song because it might make 
        you cry. I cried a lot at the ending of Inception, so maybe there’s a correlation 
        there?

14) Th3 Awak3n1ng by Ivan Torrent
Alright. This song feels like you’re in a post-apocalyptic video game trapped 
        in some creepy metal tunnels battling terrifying monsters in the dark. And        
        it’s awesome. When I listen to this, I keep waiting for something to jump out 
        at me… This song has the explosive bursts of sound that I love, and heavy 
        almost exotic-sounding drums. I love the part around 2:29 to the end. When 
        listening to this with headphones, it feels like my eardrums are going to 
        rupture…but in a good way.
That concludes my list! Which one of these was your favorite? What are some of your favorite studying songs? Reply in the comment section, and don’t forget to subscribe!

Until next time!
