Classics

Sometimes I wonder why a classic book is considered a 'classic'. Though I'm an English major, I find  books that I should read are actually hard to get into unfortunately. I have an interesting relationship with books. I can abandon one by the 2nd chapter if I don't feel it and find another book, which for me isn't hard to do. I've heard of plenty of book titles and most of them have been considered a 'classic' but for some reason I haven't had the desire or motivation (yet) to pick some of them up and start reading.

Well, actually that's not true. As of now I'm reading Jane Eyre and I admit that I like it and it's good but it took me a while to say that considering that I'm on Chapter 12. What helped me keep with it this far mostly was watching the movie first, which makes it a lot easier to understand and I've also heard that's it's worth reading.

However, while reading Jane Eyre I also need to be reading other books at the same time. I'm currently reading like at least 3 other books because that's what keeps me interested and I'm either finding books at the library or in my house that I want to dig into as well. I know that I'll finish at least one of them!  I guess I should prepare myself for when school hits again and it's time to crack the books again and to ditch the fun books and focus on the required material.

My goal is to finish at least 4 books this Summer. I know that's not that many but as a scattered book worm such as myself, it is. But I think it's a good challenge and I believe I can do it!

Big Rings

Something about rings but in particular big statement rings attract me. I guess you could say that my style is mainly boho and that explains why I cling to big rings, scarves and headbands. The only issue with some rings, these in particular is the fact that my fingers turn green every time I wear them but then eventually fade away once I take them off.



Rings bring about a new vibe and taste to style that other jewelry doesn't. It makes it more exciting to do ordinary things like writing or typing on a computer and can dress up any outfit. It's so hard not to notice big rings that it's practically guaranteed that you will get a compliment.

 

 

Give me a clue

Well here I am, writing on a blog. A little blog called Give me a Clue. I thought of this title due to a few reasons, the first one being that it is relevant to say that we are constantly looking for certain things in life and trying to guess and check while we are at it and doing our best to fill in the puzzle pieces. Having goals and dreams and planning for the future is normal and good yet we are only in the present moment and can only control what is in front of us now. Another reason for naming this blog Give me a Clue has to do with an Art History class I took. I learned about all different types of artists and various periods of art and influences. One such artist who's painting struck me as interesting and different was Jackson Pollock. His paintings are made from dripping paint off of an art utensil and letting it fall onto the big white sheet of paper. Pollock's paintings are about his subconscious and when learning about his paintings. I often wondered give me a clue about what this is about! In fact the picture above with the blog title is by Jackson Pollock.

 I want this blog to be focused on style, art and life. Although these are pretty general terms, it can be easier to become more creative and make them more interesting and inspiring than they already are. That is my goal for this blog...to make Give me a Clue blog something inspiring, interesting and creative. Will you join me?
