Thenarratorisnarrating-blog - Quite Simple, Really

2020 will be a good year, because we’re going to make it one

Because, today, I restart college, I thought it was cute to introduce you to my morning routine and give you some advice about it. Many of these things I’ve made since I was very small, just like anyone else, but others have only been added for a couple of years, so … let’s start!

1. Wake up at 6:30AM

I know it might sound very strange, but I’m a morning person, or at least, since I remember, I’ve always been since I was little, so I’m not struggling to get up, indeed, I often wake up even before my alarm sounds.

☀Tips: If you’re not a morning person but would like to become I have some tips for you:

- Go to bed early: if you want to get up early you also have to go to bed at a decent time, otherwise in the morning you will feel really too tired to do anything. There are a lot of apps or sites that figure out what time you have to go to bed so you can wake up refreshed the next morning: one of these is Sleepytime. But even if you don’t want to use one of these apps, remember that the human body needs at least seven hours of sleep to be active.

- Use an alarm clock or more than one: Yes, I know, set your alarm is the most obvious thing in the world but it is useful.I recommend you to point more than one alarm clock for an hour before you get up and, maybe, every ten minutes in that time so you will not be able to sleep again!

- Put feet on the ground now! If, as soon as you wake up, you will immediately put your feet on the floor, you can do nothing but get up and your body will not take advantage of it to sleep again, especially if in contact with the cold floor!

2. Shower at 6:35AM

That’s why I do not think there’s a better explanation than this: I just like to shower in the morning especially now that it’s autumn, hot water makes miracles!

☀Tip: If you’re not a morning person you’d better take a shower with cold water, or warm, this will awaken your senses! 

3. Breakfast at 6:45AM

I’m not particularly creative in the morning, I’m not a genius in the kitchen and alternating moments of healthy food with other calories, but despite that, I’m trying to eat well, believe me!I usually have breakfast with:

- Milk and cereals ( usually corn flakes).

- Fruit yogurt (usually peach, strawberry or blueberry) and biscuits or oats and pieces of banana.

- Red fruit tea and cereal biscuits.

- Chamomile, a teaspoon of honey and three rusks.

- Carrot cake, Banana Bread or Muffin.

- Bread with Nutella!

- And of course C-O-F-F-E-E (this is the only constant)!

4. Dressing up at 7:00AM

I usually prepare my clothes the night before so I do not have to go crazy in the morning to figure out what to wear: I usually wear Jeans and a shirt.

☀Tips: 

- Prepare your clothes and bag the night before so in the morning you will not have to go crazy to find something to wear!

- Wear what you want but if you go to school or in a serious place informed about the dress code!

5. Skincare Routine at 7:05AM

One thing I started doing a couple of years ago was taking care of my skin. Let’s say it’s also a way to take a moment for myself in the morning (along with the coffee LOL).

☀Tip: I think it’s important to find a way to take care of themselves, even early in the morning, this will help your brain to relax, also remember that the health, physical or mental, comes first.

6. Make up at 7:15AM

As for makeup, never put anything excessive, especially if I have to go to college, even at times I happened to not wear makeup at all! Usually, however, I always wear mascara, concealer to cover the dark circles, and a bit of blush since, especially in winter, I have pale skin.

7. Leave home at 7:30AM

I usually take the bus to get to university, since it is a bit ‘far from my house.

Evenfall Chapter One

Alright, according to my notes, it’s just about time for the story to begin. Now, before we get started, we should review some very important things.

What we discuss while this story unveils you might want to keep secret. You could tell people, but then I’d tell you to expect more than a few weird looks and questions about your mental stability. If that’s what you were aiming for, go ahead!

I personally find that keeping the ongoings of Everless a much more favorable (and easier!) solution.

Secondly, I hope you don’t find yourself at a loss with all the information the story requires, I understand that there’s quite a bit you don’t know, but that doesn’t mean you can’t learn! Learning is very important and you can count on me to be a wonderful teacher!

So, without further ado, let’s begin!

Introducing Juli Cárdenas Rivera Silva Vicente!

Class: Fall 2022

Ring: Fye

It is time! Since trios are the new thing, whatever that means, we have three main characters. Our lovely last person is Juli Cárdenas Rivera Silva Vincente, a long but wonderful name. She usually goes by Jules, though. Jules Cárdenas Rivera, to be exact. Long names are quite a hassle, as I can assure you.

However, I digress, it’s time to talk! Or, rather, read about the young Juli. Today’s story shall focus on Juli’s packing for Evenfall. The young woman didn’t really have any plans for college, after spending most of her high school career floating along, the only real passion she had was for her music. Which isn’t a bad thing, of course, of course! But, Juli aspired for something more, something bigger.

Fortunately, she was going to Evenfall, a place full of life.

Introducing Ardis Akiya-Blair

Class: Fall 2022

Ring: Mir

Now, Ardis Akiya-Blair is an interesting person. Similar to our lovely friend Kal, he received a letter of acceptance from Evenfall University as well. Though, unlike our Kal, he had not been as confident nor dedicated to a school. The tugging desire swept him up quickly and he accepted his admission quickly. So, sadly, no tales of how he was convinced for us tonight but I wouldn’t want to leave you without a good story! Let’s see, what could we talk about?

How about this? It has all people usually want in their stories, some interest, and intrigue. Ardis is a dancer and a quite good one at that. It seems like we have a creative bunch here, looking at Ardis, Kal, and the other student we have on the books. Anyways, we’ll leave the discussion of the others for their chats, this is when Ardis gets a chance to shine, after all! It appears that he doesn’t get it often enough, as it is.
