You Ask A Student In April How They're Doing And They'll Say "oh I'm Fine" But In Reality They Are Treating

you don’t need perfect conditions to start. you just need to start. five minutes of focus is better than waiting for motivation to come.

the past few days have been so stupid at work :/ i'm so ready for the weekend. Hunkering down for the rest of the night to finish my section on HTML then moving onto CSS if I can stay awake :) first picture is a small snippet I wrote while doing my course yesterday

will i finish this degree or will this degree finish me

all i want is qty 1! a dimly lit cafe/bookstore with good coffee and comfortable seating. that's it.

sincerely,

a full time worker and college student who is tired of starbucks and libraries with fluorescent lighting

13.05.25 —Working on a presentation rn that needs to be done by 8 this evening and it reminds me of what I don’t like about university. First, I have to do it alone, despite the fact that the prof said it would be groups of two to three. Just no one else was interested in the topic I volunteered for so now I'm the only one working alone while everyone else in the seminar will work with two partners. Prof could have done something about this but I guess they didn’t care. I also have to present it all alone later, which is never something I look forward to, but it becomes a whole lot worse when I have to do it all alone. Nice.

I have to read six whole papers in the span of a weekend when everyone else has to read just two. And I have to figure out an outline for the presentation completely by myself and then judge which aspects to allocate what amount of time to. Something I could use critical feedback on. And half assing it feels so bad when I'm the only one who worked on the presentation. Life could really be better at the moment.

i am nooooot locked the fuck in. im locked the fuck out. call the locksmith

friendly reminder that notes do look like a mess 90% of the time and it’s ok!!

~life update~

the past few days i've been really rough. i went out to dinner to celebrate one of my bestie's 21'st bday which was really fun. the beef short rib was super good. however, i started feeling really bad when I got home and i went to the dr the next morning. i tested negative for covid, flu, and strep so really no idea what's going on there but i got some lovely antibiotics so that's helping a bit. they did a throat culture to test for epstein-barr virus (mono) so answers soon?

i'm supposed to be taking the network+ certification tomorrow so we'll see if that happens but probably not. I can't even sit up straight bc of a killer headache. going to try and knock out some studying today for the holiday and tomorrow.
