I hope I'm good enough (entry no.14)

 It's funny how my need to write comes in waves. On Friday I was dying to write another entry but then Friday came and went and I started to feel a little sad. I don't like to write when I'm sad, it turns me into a bitter person and brings a lot of things to the surface all at once. School's out, the weather was good, I had fun with friends who love me and that's just the tip of the iceberg of the good things I got going on so there is really no excuse. I understand that it's important to feel sad sometimes to process your emotions but I really think I'm just overthinking and being dramatic. Give me an ice coffee and some good music and all is right with the world again.  I just got off of work and currently have one in hand. My dad bought it for me, he came to pick me up like he normally does. Not to brag but I have amazing parents. I'm surprised I haven't written about them earlier because they truly are spectacular. They are so giving and caring i...

As sweet as can be (entry no.13)

 I have a confession. I did not go for a run on Monday morning. I don't know what psycho came up with that plan because that is absolute insanity. However, I did go on a run today in the afternoon. The weather was perfect for it but I must admit that I am embarrassingly out of shape. I had to take walking breaks which was truly a humbling experience for me. I remember back when I was in middle school I would try out for the cross country team in September after spending months rotting away in front of the TV in my pjs during the summer. I thought this run would produce similar results but obviously I could not be more wrong.  It was fun though. I'm gonna try to do it again this Friday, I also did a half hour ab workout after I finished my run cuz why not. I am definitely going to be in pain tomorrow but I know that I am also going to sleep well tonight. I've never had problems sleeping and for that I will always be grateful. I stay up late and I don't sleep enough but t...

Thanks for Sticking Around (entry no.12)

 And after almost a week I'm back! First and foremost I'd like to take the time to thank my secret viewers. I have no idea who reads my posts but I'm always watching the view count and I'm pleasantly surprise at the consistency of people tunning in. It means a lot that there are people out there who quietly enjoy my rambling and allow me to take up a few minutes of their time by reading my nonsense. That being said, this blog is now officially a month old! I gotta think of a fun entry idea to celebrate it's one year anniversary if I make it that far. Now for a little life update. This Friday that just past I did my 4 hour final exam for the most difficult class in my course. I was really nervous but luckily it went well and I will never need to do that again. I should've celebrated with an Oreo McFlurry like I did at the end of last semester, but I was so tired and hungry that I just went straight home after class. Oreo McFlurries are probably my favorite ice cr...

The iPad kid who can't sit still (entry no.11)

 It's felt like centuries since my last post so you can imagine the shock I had when I realized it's only been four days. Weekends haven't felt like true weekends for me in a while. Even if I do fun things with friends during them it feels more like a social catch up rather than actually hanging out. That doesn't mean that I don't have fun though! I do, and I'm so grateful for the friendships I have developed, it's just that sometimes I feel bad that I don't have enough time to be a strong enough presence in their lives. I can't be all things for everyone. Maybe one day I'll learn that.  Veering off into a less depressing topic, the weather has been sooooo nice lately. Nothing makes me happier than a bright blue sky to welcome spring. That being said, I've been so tempted to walk to work since it's only 30 minutes. But it would mean walking back home after my shift when I'm all tired and it's dark outside. I still tried to make th...

The good, the bad, & the ugly (entry no.10)

 Writing these entries has made me realize that a lot can happen in such a short amount of time. My last post was 3 days ago and since that post Arsenal and Bayern tied 2-2, I got a Bukayo Saka jersey, I did 2 exams, officially have finished 3 out of 6 of my classes and by tonight I hope to be done with all my homework for the semester (it's not a lot don't worry). I'm finally starting to feel lighter and happier now that the massive amount of stress and dread for exams and final projects is almost over. Fun fact, after I posted my last entry I went on to work on one of my assignments and somehow completely reset my computer and kicked myself out while trying to download Microsoft Server 2022 onto a virtual machine. To top it off, this all happened 1 hour before one of my final exams. I ended up rushing to my dad's office since he works in IT and begged him to fix it. Thankfully he did and I was able to complete the exam without a hitch... although I was a little frazzl...

Soccer & Saka (entry no.9)

 I'm mad at my past-self for saying I'd be back in two days, what she obviously meant was two times two days. Weekends are pretty busy for me so I didn't have time to write an entry on Sunday like I originally wanted to. Then Monday came around and I avoided my computer like the plague cuz I have assignments due and no desire to do them. At the moment, I am currently missing review for the final exam next week in my database management class. It's a really easy class and if for whatever reason I'm feeling uncertain about the exam, I'll probably just watch the recording so it's really no big deal.  Speaking of final exams, I have one later today for my elective this semester; Languages of the World. It's open book and multiple choice questions so I'm not in the slightest bit worried about it. I hope that doesn't come across as arrogant because believe me if it weren't open book I'd be under an insurmountable amount of stress. Nonetheless, ...

Summer Ambitions Despite Current Admonitions (entry no.8)

 I'm finally back after a week break. Don't be confused though, it was a break from posting not a break for me. This week I have been soooooo busy, and most of the busyness comes from my personal life rather than school or work. I don't like to complain about it because I ultimately know it's my own fault for overworking myself but I can't help but do it. What can I say, she's a girl boss and she knows it.  In just two weeks I'll finish my college semester, two semesters done and two more to go. I try to look at the glass as being half full rather than empty but some days it's hard. Especially on days like today when I have a 4 hour class on a Friday night with an assignment that will be due in 24 hours. In this case it's actually not my fault that I find myself in this predicament. The teacher always makes assignments due 24 hours after class ends, that means the assignment starts at 6:00 pm and ends the next day at 6:00 pm. But two more weeks and I...
