A Strawberry in the Rain (entry no.31)

 I have been up since 6:30, I am running on a solid 5 hours of sleep and it is currently a quarter to midnight. I most definitely should be sleeping but what can ya do when you love to write as much as I do. The last few posts have very much centered around soccer, specifically England's journey throughout the Euro's. However, now that they are over I find myself preparing for the Primer League season to start up again. Arsenal recently released their new away kit for the season, they are black, red, and green. I definitely like them better than last year's away kit but it's honestly nothing to gush over. However, do you know what is worth gushing over? "POR QUE SERA" by Grupo Frontera and Maluma. Oh. My. Goodness. It is such a good song, perfect summer heartbreak vibes and instantly iconic. 

Speaking of music, whoever was playing music over the speakers at work today was killing it. I swear I thought someone had taken my playlist or something. We went from "Hips don't lie" by Shakira to "Mercy" by Shawn Mendes, I was loving it and kept fighting the urge to sing along. Today was a good day for me, I feel tired and happy. I once read that happiness is not dependent on our circumstances rather it is dependent on our attitude. How true those words have become as I have grown up. Life is all about dancing in the rain, splashing around with wet socks and a smile on your face. Circumstances will never be ideal and if they for some reason are, the sad truth is that they will not last long. That is why it is so important to enjoy the little moments in the every day.

I can't believe how quickly summer is going by, July is almost over and it feels like it never even properly begun. I feel like I've done a lot and nothing at all at the same time. Yesterday I went to a costume party. Everyone was told to dress like their favorite comic and cartoon characters. I went as Strawberry Shortcake, who I recently learned is called Rosita Fresita and Frutillita in Latin America. To complete my look, I wore a pair of overalls I borrowed from my sister. That alone was incredibly strange for me. I NEVER wear overalls. In fact, I haven't owned a pair since I was a toddler. Overalls have always been my sister's thing and I guess because I never wanted to take that from her I never bothered to get myself a pair. 

But I must admit, they were extremely comfortable. I paired these overalls with a white shirt with strawberries and a red bow as well as a pink baseball hat. I felt very cute, but my costume was subtle compared to most of the other attendees. There were jedis with glowing lightsabers, a Spider-Punk with an electric guitar, as well as three Marios and two Luigis. It was really funny seeing people dance to salsas and bachatas in their costumes. Worlds were colliding, Kim Possible danced with the Riddler and Gamora danced with Anikan Skywalker. It was a lot of fun, as a result I got home late and by the time I finally went to bed it was 1:00 am and I started work the next day at 8:00. I even wore glasses to work cuz my eyes were so dry and tired. But despite all this, I can confidently say that I regret nothing.

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...
