Lifestyle and Daily Shenanigans with a dash of Nerd Appreciation thrown in.
Willkommen!
Hello, there! I'm Mochizuki, a twenty-something year old Graphic & Web Design student located somewhere in America and welcome to Waiting for June a Lifestyle blog that occasionally gets a tad too personal, talks about cosmetics, and constantly the home for prattles about Bandcamp, nerd culture, and tea/coffee. To find out more about blog and the blogger, click here.
Thank you so much for visiting and reading Waiting for June! If you like what we do here and want to help support the addiction of the blogger, you should look into spoiling the blog and its creator with coffee and gifts by using the links below. Even if you don't, you're still pretty dope for visiting, reading, enjoying, et cetera.
Hello fellow earthlings. What's this? More apologies? Of course. Seriously though, I wish I could not be busy, but I've been running myself ragged again. Working out, job interviews, etcetera. Also, I'm coding a new layout. So, I've been running myself ragged lately with no time for blogging or even, sleep. In fact, in the last two days I've only gotten about 6 hours of sleep total (3 yesterday and 3 today). I don't think I'll be any less busy for the next couple weeks or so, even after the new layout goes up, because I have a bunch of other layouts and things to do. If I drift from this blog, it's not anything done purposely, cause I love this blog. So. That's a thing.
Today's post is all about cataching up on the July Journaling Challenge. I've missed about 12 days, not including today's, so this is going to be a massive text post with little bits and pieces of pictures here and there. If you wish to skip this post because it's text heavy, then feel free to do so.
On a side note, the title of this post was created by combining two songs by the amazing Two Door Cinema Club, "Next Year" and "Beacon", which I totally recommend you jamming out to.
Day Seventeen: I'm really good at...
Honestly, I don't think I'm that good at anything really, but I'm a bit of a downer in terms of myself, so I'll probably come back and edit this particular day to include something I get from my best mate and wifeu that I always mention here on the blog, ottobomb. So look out for that.
Day Eighteen: Best book ever
Best any things or favourite any things are such big no's for me because I can't pinpoint any of my favourite things for I have multiple. I don't there's a best book every because books entice different emotions and differents thoughts at different moments.
Day Nineteen: The Weather Today
The weather today was bloody horrid. So hot and barely any wind; it was so depressing and sweaty. Ugh. Georgia needs to get it together and not be so damn hot during the summer. Rant rant rant.
Day Twenty: A Daydream You Had
I don't remember my daydreams, funnily enough. I drift off into daydreams a lot, but the longer I daydream, the more and more blank it is in my mind when I come back to. So I don't remember anything unless it's like a quick flash of a daydream...and even then, it's not all that coherent.
Day Twenty-One: Your Favourite Story
I don't have one.
Day Twenty-Two: What Makes You Laugh
A lot of things make me laugh. I mostly adore any kind of sarcastic, dy humor. I also like really hardcore humor that borderlines offensiveness and morally right. I have a thing for extremely dark humor. And sometimes, sometimes, I laugh at the way my mates say pudding. No shit, I do.
Day Twenty-Three: Abstract
Abstract Art Piece: Please Excuse Her by Princess M. You can find it here.
When I think of abstract, I think of abstract art and I happen to be one of those people that thoroughly enjoy abstract art when done right. The image above is such a good representation of what I imagine when I think off abstract and absract art. I love seeing abrstract artists draw faces, it's some of the most intricate and glorious pieces of art I've had the pleasure of gazing at. Sometimes I look at these works of art and I kind of wish I had that type of talent. And I think that having abstract art be the first thing I think of when I heard the word abstract. is terribly beautiful for the mind...or well, my mind.
I'm skipping this. For a few reasons. Mostly because I haven't been in the mood to carry my camera around to take pictures of things when I do go out and most of my cell phone pictures end up shite. So wheneveer I go out again, I'll take some pictures and come back to edit this bit as well.
Day Twenty-Six: I'm excited for...
I'm excited for travelling and meeting people and learning about things. I think travelling is such a fun thing and it's been something that I've wanted to do for such a long time and it's only recently that I've begun to save up to do. I'm excited to go new places and learn about the people and their cultures and what makes them, them. I'm such a nerd when it comes to learning about new cultures, it's just amazing to me.
Day Twenty-Seven: A View From Today
I don't think I went out on this day. I was too busy cramping and crying myself to sleep whilst curled up in the foetal position. A bit not good.
Day Twenty-Eight: Someone/Something You Love
Honestly, I'm not going to fill out this day either. Strictly because I'm not in a relationship with someone and while I don't particularly want to be in one right now, I don't care if it happens...whatever. I've spoken about otto countless times, I've mentioned my mum a couple times, I frequently talk about my love for the arts (especially books, movies, music, cooking, and web design), so there's nothing else for me to fawn over that hasn't already been fawned over intensely or minimally.
So nothing here, move along.
Day Twenty-Nine: I Wish...
I wish that I could breathe.
That's it. I apologize for how sluggish this post seems. I'm dreadfully tired, but I did want to put something out there before I hit the M.I.A for 2 weeks point. On a side note, I have a really intense and slightly crude post on a controversial topic coming up soon based off this post (oh yes, bitch, I will be going in), as well as a music roundup post that I'm really, really excited to do. There also might be some more gaming posts and more reviews of things other cosmetics in the future. But we'll see how that goes.
In other news, I'm really excited to complete and put up the new layout. If you follow me on Twitter, you've probably already have seen a couple screencaps/teasers of the new layout. So, definitely looking forward to that. But that's about it, really.

Hello, there!
Welcome to Waiting for June. Waiting for June is a Lifestyle Blog that focuses predominantly on daily life shenanigans and nerd culture, but occasionally dabbles in health & beauty, food, and prattling about serious topics.
Waiting for June is the sixth iteration of the same blog with a different name and structure. The original iteration of this blog was started back in November of 2012 as a purely Beauty and Lifestyle blog under the name Monochromatics which later got abandoned and restarted under the name sumeoseo. With sumeoseo came more beauty and review based blog which quickly lost its appeal. From that point on, there were three name changes, multiple hiatuses, and two blog changes before coming to where we are now.
Throughout this journey, I've learned that this blog shouldn't be limited to what I feel fits in with what I read from other bloggers nor should I put myself in a position to compromise my integrity and the feeling of transparency that I feel should always be there. I've also learned that blogging is probably never going to be a huge source of income the way I always expected it to be. So when I finally returned back to blogging with a fresh blog and an equally fresh name, I decided to make this blog about anything that I wanted to and break the mold of trying to fit into the mold. I can only imagine where this experience is going to take me.

Hello, there!
Welcome to the little about me section of the blog. If it isn't obvious by now, I'm Mochizuki and I'm kind of pretty important here. Admittedly, Mochizuki is a nom de plume, but I digress. I'm currently somewhere in my twenty-somethings and doing that thing where I'm learning how to be a proper adult while balancing being a student and a worker. Speaking of school, I'm a Graphic Design major who's concentration is Web Design and I take my classes online. If I'm being honest here, I do everything online because of my apprehension towards too much social interaction.
I'm typically reading something, playing a video game, watching anime, or something otherwise nerdy because that's how I roll. I don't engage with people unless I'm positive there is something in common there simply because I don't want to make it weird for anyone involved. That said, the reason I originally created this blog, or rather, any of my blogging adventures, was so that I could engage with people wo share the same interests as me while simultaneously sharing my own things with people.
I'm not terribly good at about me's, so expect this to be updated sporadically in a lot of ways.

A clear and concise guide on how reviews are approached and written.
This blog touches on and is dedicated to a variety of topics including: daily life, cosmetics, my journey to being a healthier me, music, books, anime, et cetera; however, a large chunk of the content found here are some form of review be they miniature reviews or full blown, in-depth reviews. Because of this, this blog has decided to implement and share it's review policy.
Please note that this policy is liable to change at any point in time, so do constantly check back before sending inquiries to kurahge@outlook.com.
Depending on the workload and the type of product is received, at any given time, multiple products can be in queue to be reviewed.
Depending on the product, the amount of time for a review to be posted varies. Typically, the length of time is as follows: anything health or beauty releated will take between 5 days and 1 week, books take between 3 days and 5 days, music and movie reviews take between 1 to 2 days, and most other reviews are variant depending on the situation at hand.
Products are predominantly purchased with my own money. On the off chance that the product or prodcuts were provided to me, there is always a note at the top of post and as well as text within the post that acknowledges such. Despite being provided a product or not, the opinions are honest and valid.
As of April 14th, 2016, there has been a change in how reviews are formatted. If working with a product that has a list of ingredients (health, beauty, cosmetics, etcetera), there will be a graphic that lists the ingredients out of respect and transparency for the readers.
Photos for reviews, particularly health and beauty related, are unedited and provided in a clear manner to help show what results occurred (if any.)
If at any point, a review is rushed despite being informed of and knowing the review policy of this blog, I will drop the review and pay for the product accordingly. I am a college student and a full-time worker, blogging is a bit of side project no matter how much I wish it otherwise, so my time is a bit crammed. Basically, rushing will terminate any agreement we may have unless it's valid (meaning absolutely my fault.)
