A song I've been loving recently: "move" by brb.

The last semester was difficult and I want to be a better person this year. well more specifically, a better friend and better classmate. I want to get into new hobbies and not lose myself as much as I did last semester.
A song I've really enjoyed recently - "Get Outta My Way" by Kylie Minogue
Oh, and I've been reading a lot of books. I really enjoyed "love and other words" by Christina Lauren

Been in a slump. Sometimes I feel like there's nothing to do, nowhere to go, no one to talk to. I know that in reality there are tons of things to do, so many places to go, and so many people to talk to. But in my own mind, I just feel so exhausted that nothing feels meaningful.
A song I'm really loving at the moment: "selfish" by madison beer
A scent I'm really loving at the moment: 'ambery saffron' from dossier
A game I'm enjoying at the moment: typeracer - this is the only game i play

Getting older is sappy. It's tough sometimes because lots of things change. You learn a lot about yourself; how wonderful you are and how terrible you can be. You begin to realize self-worth and self-destruction. You thank and you apologize and that's life. I wish happiness on myself and on everyone. I hope my 20s are as fulfilling and as rewarding as the rest of my life has been.
songs I'm relating to rn: (1) "getting older" by billie eilish [super relating to this] (2) "your man" by joji [i don't relate but I'm vibing with the vibez]

I'm excited and a bit nervous about going to Antigua, Guatemala and Miama with my Friends Seena and Simon but I'm sure we'll have a good time eating yummy foods and wandering around. I for some reason go on to my elementary and middle school experience?? idk oh oh and I get really sad on my birthdays. I had a rough time last summer, but this summer will be filled with joy and excitement. I turn 20 on the 22nd??? crazy how time works...age is just a construct I guess

Thank you to my dear friends Olivia P., Seena S., Eugene J., Andrew K., Simon Y., Alsu S., Ayden S., Netanel F., Gregory P., Gavri K., Kam W., Crystal W., Kate W., Venus Y., Ethan S., Andy M., Andrey A., George H., Alexa J., Levi S., Adisa R., Chrisanna C., Laz X and many more who have helped me survive this year.
I hope this will help me recall the old times later in life. I've learned quite a lot. I've suffered a bit but I got through it. It was tough and lonely and busy and boring at times but my friends always encouraged me to keep on going.
Also, random, but for reference, some of my favorite artists this year were Olivia Rodrigo, Vance Joy, Lil Nas X, Taylor Swift, Shawn Mendes, FINNEAS, Billie, The Weeknd, AJR, BabyJake, Miley Cyrus, and Black Eyed Peas.

Since I've last been here: weight gain, being tooooo close to friends - finding my boundaries, and being myself, and impulse buying shoes and food. I can spend so much money on shoes, pants, shirts, and nail polish its kind of stupid

I hate quitting but this time I have to realize that I'm letting things go temporarily so that I can come back and be proud of who I am and my contributions and work. It's hard to let go though.

skool is hard but i want to go to college because i want to be able to know that i am confident and capable of doing any project i put my mind to. that's my goal. i want to be able to join any product development team and know, understand, and contribute. that's what i want, but sometimes its hard to not lose sight of that when im constantly battling late assignments or exams ("celebrations of knowledge") every single day
im allergic to tubbies but i love her very much
going to nap now... sry future me

fig 1. tubbies enjoying her ribbon
when people explain things to me that are about me I get confused as to how I should respond. Am I supposed to say that they are a savior for educating me? or should I say what's truly on my mind?

It's hard to not get bogged down by the things you don't have and forget the things you have and all the amazing things you can do what all that you have. You can always get what you want but there will always be more to want.
tubbies is my roommate!!
Also, watch a good K drama if you wanna cry. I finished "start up" on Netflix in like 2 days.

The haircut I got wasn't what I asked for but I was too scared to speak up. It brought back some memories of elementary school experiences with hair and feminity and making friends. If I ever have a child, I'll always let them pick their haircuts! I hated bobs as a kid.

hahah i also talk about seeing someone i used to have a crush on lol. idk why i struggled to say that i used to like them lol. its ok i liked them in sept of freshmen year it doesn't matter anymore :) they don't know i exist : )
Also, this is your life, fill it with amazing people. other people who are rude and mean are just not necessary in your life, don't think too hard about what they say, just call them out so it doesn't happen to anyone else. Love yourself, this life is full of seconds, days, and year that are all yours to experience and fill with love.

Ethan and I spent the day with millie rock. We brought her home and then went to Petco and saw some hamsters with huge genitals and mistook them as females. I scroll through some of my saved posts with you. btw Tubbies was fantastic at the gym and didn't bark and was very calm.

have you ever tried to write nice things about yourself? its kind of hard to be less judgemental; its really hard. I've never written a letter of recommendation but today I decided to take on the challenge of 'gassing myself up'. I read to you my first draft, and the draft I'm forwarding to my coach who will actually be writing my rec. I know this is just a challenge that he has assigned for me so that I can work on acknowledging my own accomplishments:) I think I'm just too scared of being viewed as stuck up. hmm... what do you think? and also, how to write letters of rec??!

I'll share with u my midnight snack and tea. I let u in on my guilty pleasure: wasting money on starbonks (since when do i support capitalism like that, huh??) I have food stuck in my teeth, a bit of ASMR, and some honesty about my eating habits (which I desperately need to fix!!)
I count too much in my own head. do you count random things in your head? like steps or reps or lines on ceilings?

people r mean and thats ok because whatever they say doesn't matter; they are just museum spectacles that you look at and don't read the description card for.
sexism is real even though it can hard to point out. either way, tubbies will love u.

Handshake one-on-one's, a professor saying something that horted my feelings, classmates always second-guessing me. People not being nice to be. Friendship is reciprocated: IF SOMEONE DISRESPECT YOU, CALL THEM OUT

I applied to transfer because I didn't want to regret not trying. I'm a bit stressed but I'm happy I got everything in. I talk about why I transferred, stats, and how you should talk to someone who just made a tough decision.

I stooped a table! It was my first time stooping! Money - what I do when I have it. Personality types, right now it says I'm an ENFP-T but what on earth does that mean?!

Doing laundry all by myself, trying to do EVERYTHING all the time. When is competition good? trying to figure out what I want from Coopy Doopey

Thank you Olivia for figuring out what was wrong with my 3D printer. Looking to print more things. Looking to get a couch. Selling clothes and making more sustainable choices. Tubbies running away. Mailman shenanigans.

Love is a scam. I got a new table! Love is a scam when it's not love. It isss what it isss. Feeling pretty and feeling ugly is a constant struggle. Sometimes I feel one and sometimes I feel both. Working on just feeling like myself and appreciating my body for all the great things it does for me.

I know that you may be going through a rough patch. It do be tough sometimes, I get it. But don't give up on yourself sir/madam/person of high regard! I will personally give you a call about how much I believe in you!

Been a bit busy, tired, and exhausted. Just got a Brita filter so I will no longer be dehydrated. New sleep schedule. Super thankful for the friends in my life, but today I reflected on what a good friend is and what a not-so-good friend is. I'm a bit ready to let go of one of my not-so-good friends simply because of the lack of respect. Prof. Wolf and Prof. Lima shenanigans. You are important and you deserve respect and love and attention - no matter the circumstances.
