guess who got STRAIGHT A'S FOR THEIR FINAL SEMESTERRRRRRRRRRRR

4.0 GPA FOR THE SEMESTER, BABYYYYYYYYYYY

this raised my overall GPA to a 3.12. which it's a little sad that i'd been struggling so much prior to this past year (from unmedicated adhd & having to work a fucking job while in school) bc i probably Could have had a really high overall GPA. this past year proved that i *can* be a good college student. but Oh Well. i can be proud of what i've accomplished in this past year at least. and i can be proud of going from academic probation a year ago to getting straight A's in my final semester of college. and managing to raise my GPA up to a 3.12. still an accomplishment!!!

Hot tip for teens: maybe don’t go to college straight out of high school, especially if you don’t know what you want to study, have zero work ethic, motivation, or desire to succeed, and no goals correlated to obtaining your degree to motivate you. Cus if you do, you’re gonna be pretty fucked.

its not american culture but white culture tbh. my family is russian/german and my mom expected us to move out and be self-sufficient by the age of 20. even though we pay rent to live at home too. from what i heard from previous jobs/friends brown/especially muslim families keep their children at home until they get married, some stay with their families until they are in their 30s lmao my mom would kick me out at that point ruthlessly. its true that white families are colder and less welcoming of their own children. why bring a child into the world when all you do is wait until it leaves home? its questionable

this is insane to me!! and yes ur correct in ur assessment—it’s very normal in that culture/not seen as a negative at all, whereas in american culture you’re seen as a freeloader. it’s also worth mentioning that a lot of arab people choose to live w their family not for financial reasons, but bc they legit don’t wanna live away from loved ones. family is infinitely important in arab culture, in the same way it’s infinitely neglected in american culture. moving out is normal too (if u also happen to be american lol), but so is being surrounded w family voluntarily. if ur family is lax enough, which is mine is, its ultimately up to u what u wanna do.

for my family in particular my mom doesn’t want me to live w her so much as she wants to take care of me, bc to her ill always be her responsibility regardless of age. she always told me that no matter where i live, she will always be happy to support me. i rly won the jackpot bc she has granted me both autonomy and a support system no matter what, when by contrast a lot of more strict brown families might not be okay w that kind of freedom (i felt it necessary to emphasize this btw bc the stereotype of all brown parents being conservative and stifling is grossly overapplied—my mom is proof it’s not true). but white families are so fucking COLD to each other (not ALL of them btw!! as always people and situations aren’t a one size fits all) and being kicked out of the house seems to be the standard. i find that so fucked up

i wish i could post insightful things about fantasy high: junior year but i am too busy being thrust into intense flashbacks of my own high school years and dealing with the anxiety that produces

like kudos to dimension 20 for accurately portraying how junior year of high school in the usa fucks a person up while simultaneously building a truly fantastic and gripping plot

but also i am literally just. sitting here. and did not ask to be mentally and emotionally devastated in this particular way

[phopollo]

I'm not sure if maybe I'm just unlucky here, or maybe there's like.... something wrong with a larger system?

But why have I taken 5 Spanish classes and only managed to learn anything in one of them? And why is the college class the one I've learned the least in?

[zipquips]

i rememorized how to solve a rubik's cube!

[truecorvid]

ok reading might be so fucking back this year

[orcelito]

I survived today!!!! It was Very busy, & it didn't go quite as smoothly as I was wanting it to, but I succeeded in all the ways that mattered!!! Got my lab done on time (barely)(that's the main thing that wasn't as smooth as I wanted it to be 😭😭 took the whole lab time so I had to absolutely RUSH to get home get dressed scarf down 1 corn dog & only barely had enough time to pick my peers up before the concert. But I Made It.)

And not only did I get through the day & accomplish everything I needed to...

GUESS WHO WON THEIR BOWLING CLASS' LEAGUE?!?!??!!?!?!?!

THIS MOTHERFUCKERRRRRRRR

I genuinely wasn't expecting to win the league when we started it. There are So many hotshot bowlers in the class. But it turns out that bowling in a league with handicap greatly benefits u if you are Improving. Which me and my team did a LOT. And that's why we won!!!! Legit, I raised my average from 80 some to 120 ish, so like. A ~40 pin improvement on my average. Which the teacher said the average for how much people improve in the classes is like 7-10 pins, so I improved like FOUR TIMES as much as the average person. Never did hit that 150 score, but that's still a massive improvement!!! And I'd been consistently getting 130+ games (without handicap) for the last few games!!! So that's pretty great heheh. If I keep up with bowling, I might just manage to get *good*.... we'll see!

Legit so excited about this pin trophy too. It's a real pin that was used at this rink. They apparently change them out every few years, & instead of throwing the old pins out, they use them as trophies for the class leagues!! Me & my team all got one heheh. And I just get to Keep it... my little memento of my senior year bowling class... 🥺🥺

I ALSO!!!!

Had my concert!!!! Which it went pretty well, overall!! Definitely better than the last concert, bc even with how stressful the lab stuff ended up being, I was still more whole of body than I was last concert lol. So I overall did well!! Didn't majorly mess up anything. I also didn't land that final run on Danse Boheme 😔 but not bad enough to be really noticeable (I hope???) & I also got the runs before that pretty well, so!!! It's disappointing, given how much I'd practiced it & how consistently I'd been landing it. But sometimes that's just how it goes. Still a good concert!!!

And my sister got me flowers 🥺🥺🥺

Roses!!!! Love them very much 🥺

Some additional pics of them...

And then the bouquet with my pin trophy 😃😃

The pin trophy now lives on this shelf here with Itachi & co

For now...... since I'm moving in a month ish it'll all get changed up regardless. But it's still nice to have it on display :3 I'm very proud of it

[morrigan-sims]

I miss doing sims stuff. It's been almost a month since I've really done anything sims-related (other than the Rook outfit), and I miss it SO much. Hopefully now that I'm done with classes (I just have a few exams next week and then I'm done for real), I'll have the time and brain energy to do sims stuff more often.

Idk that I'm going to get anything interesting posted by the end of April, but May... I have plans for May. It's Rook's birthday in May!!! (Both in terms of when I first played him and when he was born in-universe, actually, though the two are not the same date.)

If I don't finally finish and edit this one render by his birthday, I'm going to lose my mind, because it's been a WIP for almost a year now. (Don't worry, it's not an angsty one. As much as I love tormenting him, it's time I gave him a break, at least on the render front.)

(P.S. - Good luck on exams to anyone who is currently in school!! You're gonna kill it!!!)
