Embark on a journey of growth and creativity with Raelynne's Reading & More. This blog is a personal journal documenting the process of building new habits, exploring the worlds of reading, crochet, creative writing, and beyond. Join me as I share my experiences, projects, and inspirations. Welcome to my creative space!
My story
I am a 25-year-old working in academic advising at The Ohio State University. I'm currently taking a few classes part-time to engage some of my downtime and get myself onto campus and interacting with people on a regular basis, since I usually work from home. When COVID hit, I was a freshman in college, so I have basically been online ever since. I thought it was time to get back out into the world and try new things, as well as build better habits.
My study history
Growing up in K12, I was able to quickly get homework done and ace tests like it was nothing, as if the information just appeared in my brain. Once I got to college, I had to devote time to work and really try to study, although I really didn't know how to do that in an online world. Although I made it through my four-year degree and earned my diploma, I barely made it through, which made me realize that if I wanted to pursue more education, I would really need to step up my game.
Why now?
Now is a great time to change my habits. I recently turned 25, so I feel an extra push to make some lifestyle changes for my long-term wellness. Along with that, my younger sister has gotten married and will be graduating with a bachelor's in SP26, so I felt it was time for me to really invest in myself and my future. With the support of my family, I believe I can change my habits, learn new hobbies, and feel more fulfilled. So my warning? 2026, you'd better be ready, because I'm coming for you!
