25 December 2015 Heyyyyy welcome to the obligatory Christmas post. I had written something before, but I forgot to save it so now it's all gone. It couldn't have been too important though. Anyway, I just had my Christmas dinner. It was pretty good. Played some Mario Kart with the relatives. Got a few (like 2) presents. All in all a regular Christmas...

23 December 2015 Man, deciding to eat popcorn is a real commitment. It could turn out well like usual, but it could also end with you getting that weird shell piece stuck in your throat and debating your existence for the rest of eternity. Like was it all really worth it? Will drinking water fix this? Man I feel like in the future,...

14 December 2015 So today finals started, and even though I'm pretty damn sure I'm not gonna be able to fix any of my B's, I still feel like I'd regret it if I didn't at least give it a shot. Like McMurphy said, "At least I tried." Right now I'm mainly talking about the math final that's tomorrow. I was doing the...

13 December 2015 So a few posts back I mentioned how I felt awkward on the bus to Fresno and that I didn't want to force some poor sop to sit next to me because there were no more seats left. I also happened to mention that I wanted to sit next to a person I could sleep on. Well it turns out...

29 November 2015 Why does she do this. Okay so my aunt made banana cake for Thanksgiving and it didn't rise but it tasted fine. So today she tried again and it succeeded so she just asked me if I wanted to try it. I said sure so she brought it over. So far this sounds totally normal and totally what two normal...

24 November 2015 Ugh why does my bitchass sister have to yell at and make my mom angry whenever she calls. Like literally you are making MY life worse. You have the luxury of being like 500 miles away. Like please realise that I'm still forced to live with this crazy person for 2 more years. ...

13 November 2015 I'm sitting on the bus right now, and I can't help but feel awkward. I'm that person who sits alone on the bus and forces some poor sop to sit next to me because there aren't any seats left. And I feel weird randomly taking pictures cause I've never spoken to like 2/3 of these people, so I end up...

24 September 2015 Can my mom just please shut the hell up. I'm going to implode. I got T-Pumps from school, and my hands were kind of sticky (see: VERY SLIGHTLY sticky), so I took a LITTLE bit of water from my water bottle and poured it on my hand to get the stickiness off. Literally 2 drops of water dripped from my...

23 September 2015 I don't know man. Today was the last meeting before you have to turn in your forms, and I'm still so conflicted on my decision. I guess I was hoping that some great revelation would come to me and make the decision for me, but obviously that's wishful thinking. I just feel like whether or not I join won't impact...

17 September 2015 These days I'm so tired from doing nothing. I come back from school, and I just feel so tired. I don't feel like doing anything. I feel like my whole life is deteriorating, and I'm just sitting there. But the thing is, I have a strange feeling that I can't identify. It's there. I'm not freaking out right now, which...

9 September 2015 I'm at the first official youth and government meeting right now, and I'm not really sure how I feel. I don't know why I always do this. I always actively isolate myself from the people I'm not familiar with, so I end up being that weird loner without a partner to discuss with, and its just really awkward. I was...

3 September 2015 Killing the dog is literally the fastest way to make me ditch the movie/TV show/game. I cannot deal. How could you kill the dog??? Or the cat??? Or the animal????????? pls. My bro dog, Kyle ...

30 August 2015 I'm at one of my close friend's birthday party, but I feel really awkward cause I am not familiar with anyone else here. The other person invited that I know isn't here yet. But she's really sociable so I'm pretty sure I'll still end up hella awkward the whole time. Also I'm the only one not wearing Indian clothes, and...

29 August 2015 Damn I get envious easily. I always seem to think of what other people have that I don't instead of appreciating what I do have. I mean I know I'm lucky. I'm afraid one day it'll all go away and I'll end up a failure doing something I don't like doing. I wish I could be a billionaire. Or a...

24 August 2015 We all have to write them for college. Well assuming we all want to go to college. I'm afraid of when I have to do this because I'm not interesting. I have nothing about me that will: Engage (Reader) Separate (Applicant) Describe (Setting) Build (Theme) Stands (Alone) Or, as Mr. Ruskus puts it, ESDBS. I always wonder how people end...

23 August 2015 My American Lit. teacher definitely thinks I'm a dumbass now. Which is unfortunate because I was really good in Lit. last year, and I'm pretty sure the teacher I had liked me (I TA for him now), and even more unfortunate, the teacher I have now is good friends with my last year teacher. Literally in the first week of...

23 August 2015 A few minutes ago I checked the time on my computer and it said 10:37 AM. That's a problem. It was most definitely not 10:37 because I woke up at 10:30, so unless I was able to use the bathroom, watch a 6 minute biology video, check what homework I have, think about a JAVA recursion problem, and eat a...

22 August 2015 I'm sitting in my ACT class and I'm really bored. I just called my mom and lied that the class ends at 2 today (as opposed to 5:30!). Keep in mind I've been to this class like the whole of summer, and, at this point, I really think enough is enough. 9 hours of class is really pushing it. On...

20 August 2015 And I'm already stressed out about stuff. I don't even know. I just don't ever feel like doing anything. I open my biology book and I'm like ugh. I open APUSH and I'm even more like ugh. Math is going over my head, and I just don't want to move. And my mom keeps getting mad about stupid shit on...

18 August 2015 I've been thinking about my previous post, and I really just want to let it all go. I keep wondering why I care so much about these things. I take the close friends I have too seriously I guess, and maybe I'm the only one that will end up caring. It sucks because every so often I think about that...

18 August 2015 So I had a really close friend from elementary school, Maggie, but around the end of 7th grade we just stopped contacting each other, and I don't really know why. It's weird because I kind of want to talk to her again, but I no longer know what I would say. Every time I see her doing things I feel sad...

16 August 2015 So this dream was really strange. I guess it was more of a nightmare. I feel like I had part of this dream before, but I couldn't remember it when it happened previously. Basically I was on a field trip to some fast food restaurant, and the only person I remember being there was my friend since kindergarten, Jyothi. I'm...

14 August 2015 So there is this woman at the ACT boot camp I'm going to, and she keeps giving me the side eye. It's really weird cause I'm pretty damn sure I didn't do shit. I walk in from lunch, side eye. I go get water, side eye. Just what is the deal man. I've interacted with you like one time, and...

11 August 2015 So back in June I went to my first hackathon and got second place for the category my group entered (social hack). I was kind of miffed that I got second because obviously I would have preferred getting the first place prizes, but mostly it was because I hate that feeling of being so close yet so far (it's a...

11 August 2015 Oh my god I can't seem to center align the continue reading button but keep the actual text in the post (after clicking the continue button, not the preview text) left aligned. Long posts that are center aligned are no bueno. ...

11 August 2015 As you can see (and by you I mean basically nobody 'cause almost nobody even knows this blog), I changed my blog template and hella messed around with the HTML shit to make things look right. Also had to search a bunch places for different widgets/badges to make the blog look like how it's supposed to. Uploaded a bunch of...

10 August 2015 I hate it when it happens. Just now I wanted to type out a dream I had last night, but now I can't remember it. The thing is, I always wake up and think, 'Wow, that was such a great dream, I should write it down." But then I think that I'll just do it later 'cause I'm too lazy...

[This happened a long damn time ago; I mentioned the profile picture thing in the "Stuff I've Been Thinking About" post and decided that I might as well post my opinion on it here since I was too lazy to type it all there. Blue highlight is me in the first two. In the third one it's mostly me talking so it shouldn't...
