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 cream treats of all time. Actually, maybe it's a tie between those and strawberry milkshakes. Now that school is officially done, I've set myself the goal to go on an hour run every other day starting tomorrow. I'll let you know next entry on my progress, hopefully that keeps me accountable. 

I shall now dedicate the rest of this entry to THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT so if your anti-swift feel free to skedaddle. This is the first Taylor Swift album I actually went out of my way to sit down and listen to (spoiler alert I wasn't able to finish it). The reason why I had made time to listen to this album was principally because I knew it was gonna be full of heartbreakers and I'm a sucker for good and insightful depressing music. That being said the highs were high and the lows were low in this album. There were a handful of songs I absolutely adored and many others I don't see myself listening to again anytime soon. 

Once again Taylor's lyricism is incredible. Not gonna lie the way she ended "Fresh Out The Slammer" broke my heart and I may or may not have cried a little; "Ain't no way I'm gonna screw up, now that I know what's at stake. Here. At the park where we used to sit on children's swings, wearing imaginary rings... But it's gonna be alright. I did my time..." It's like the grown-up version of her older song "Clean". The message is the same but the level of heartbreak and loss is deeper and far more complex. All in all it's a beautifully written album but I found that especially towards the end all the songs started sounding the same. Anyways, I should probably go to bed so it's far more likely that I actually go for a run tomorrow. As always, thanks for sticking around.

Are you coming or going? (entry no.50)

It's been quite a while since my last blog post. Honestly I've been having too much fun while also stressing out and it's made me a fabulous combination of overstimulated and lazy. Hence why I have not posted an entry in over a month! But I don't want to let anymore time pass, I want to keep documenting my life, my experiences, and thoughts for a long time. My life updates aren't as interesting anymore now that I'm not in school. Well my life is actually super interesting right now but I just don't feel like writing about it, I'd rather live it in the moment.  I've got so many exciting plans for the summer, trips I want to take, people I want to see, hobbies I want to get back into. Like I do every summer, I want to go back to learning the ukulele, I also wanna take time to play some of my favorite video games again. I just find it hard to pursue these things cuz I legitimately cannot sit still, it's awful. I still try to pick up a book every now...

I fall for pretty home and away kits (entry no.25)

 Ayeooo, she's back only 4 days later, please hold your applause until the entry is finished. I'm currently a multi-tasking queen, typing away as I watch England vs Serbia, both team's first match in this year's Euro Cup. So far so good, we're winning one nothing and Southgate created a killer starting line-up not gonna lie. We got Kane, Foden, and Saka up front and Rice, Bellingham, and Trent in midfield... need I say more. Now that I'm writing, I realize that I haven't once mentioned what I thought about the team's new jerseys. I think they are cool, very classic looking but not as cool as the ones they wore during the 2022 World Cup. I loved both of those home and away kits. The bright red away colors and the white and bright blue home jerseys were perfection.  However, Germany's home and away kits this year were my absolute favorites. The white home jerseys with hints of red, yellow, and black look so beautiful, almost like the players are on fir...

Co-workers & Classmates (entry no.47)

 Hello! It's been a minute, I know it always has been but I always feel the need to say that when I start an entry. I'm currently in my 10:00 am Web Technologies class, after today I only have to come two more times and I'll officially be done with this course. The same is true for my other Friday class on Microsoft Power Shell, I'm really nervous about that final exam. If I don's pass it I could very easily fail my class. I have NEVER failed a class, not in middle school, not in high school, not in college, and hopefully I never will. Long hours of studying await me to make the previous statement a reality. But my determination is just as strong as my fear and anxiety. If I want it enough I can have it, April is finally here, (not literally, but I'm trying to make a point). Honestly, it feels surreal how close to the finish line I am, college has taken up two years of my life. I was 19 when I started. On week six of my first semester I started working at my cur...
