From Homework to Heartbreak: Farewell to August and a Legend

-



Hey, my blogging peeps 🐥,

Today, I’m bidding you farewell for a bit as I gear up for a long day of relaxation—well, as much as I can get while tackling my homework. Yup, it’s that time again. Can’t believe I’m back at it, but it’s all good. I know it’ll be worth it in the end, especially with the Class of 2028 in my sights.

As we say goodbye to August and hello to September, I can’t help but feel a little uneasy about the changing seasons. Fall is creeping in, and I’m just not ready for the cold. 🥶 But hey, we’ve got to roll with it, right? I hope you all enjoy your day and make the most of the new month.

On a more somber note, we lost a legend today—Fatman Scoop. Sadly, he passed away after collapsing on stage. It’s heartbreaking to think that someone who brought so much energy and life to hip hop is now gone. He was a true pioneer, and his music and lyrics will continue to live on in our hearts and playlists.

One of his most iconic lines that still gets the crowd hyped: “All The Chickenheads Be Quiet.” And who could forget the classic “If You got a $50 dollar bill, put ya hands up 🙌🏾 single ladies, I can't hear you, single ladies make noise.” That line alone could make any room come alive.

Fatman Scoop also left his mark with unforgettable collaborations, like “Lose Control” with the iconic Missy Elliott and Ciara. That track will always be a banger.

Damn, he’s gone too soon, but at least he was doing what he loved. Rest in peace 🪦, Fatman Scoop. You’ll be missed, but your legacy will live on forever.

Just a little daily reminder to keep pushing forward, no matter how tough the grind gets. We’ve got this!

Until later, amigos. Adios 🤘🏾✌🏾📚📄✍🏾👩🏾‍💻

Missing You, Mark: Life Just Isn’t the Same Without You

It’s hard to put into words how much I miss my best friend, Mark Williams Jr. 💔 He would’ve turned 36 on October 9, and it feels strange celebrating his birthday in Greece without him here. We met when I was 14, and from that moment on, we were inseparable—literally attached at the hip. I used to call him my “gentle giant” because that’s exactly who he was. We both were a little awkward, a little shy, but somehow we just clicked. He made everything easier, and we understood each other’s quirks in a way nobody else could. Mark was the first of us to get his driver’s license. We used to laugh about how neither of us ever really had a relationship, mostly because he was so shy around girls. I wasn’t much better, to be honest. But those things never mattered because we always had each other. As we got older, life started getting in the way, and adult responsibilities pulled us in different directions. Still, I cherished every text, every corny joke, and every silly story about his string ...

Wildfire Alert: A Wake-Up Call in New Jersey

  Wildfire Alert: A Wake-Up Call in New Jersey New Jersey, a state we usually associate with urban life, shorelines, and lush parks, has been hit with an unexpected and dangerous crisis. Wildfires have broken out across the state, with major incidents reported in both urban and natural areas. This is not something we're used to seeing here, but it’s become a reality we can no longer ignore. In West Milford’s Jennings Creek, a massive wildfire has already scorched over 3,000 acres, threatening nearby homes, structures, and closing down local roads. The blaze is only 10% contained, and firefighters are working tirelessly to prevent further spread. But this isn't just limited to rural areas—there's been another blaze closer to more populated regions. As smoky air fills neighborhoods, it’s becoming more evident that wildfires don’t only happen "somewhere else." The origin of the fire in West Milford has reportedly been linked to human activity, with one person alleged...

Diary of a Chaotic Day: Math, Figma, Funky Classmates, and a Walmart Surprise

lol this ai pic is so funny 😂  Late Post: Written on November 14, 2024 Today was… something, to say the least. It all started with a brutal math quiz 🧮 ➗ that, for some reason, my professor thought could be done in 20 minutes—without a calculator. Seriously? Twenty minutes to solve problems like: • p² + 11p + 30 = (p + 5)(p + 6) • b² + 8b + 15 = (b + 3)(b + 5) • 36 - 25t² = (6 - 5t)(6 + 5t) These aren’t your basic addition problems—factorizing on paper is a whole other struggle! Tackling them without any kind of help was impossible 🤯. Math class feels like my personal downfall, but I’m powering through as best as I can 💪🏾. After surviving that, I treated myself to some Green Day coffee ☕ and mini tacos 🌮 with a kick! The coffee was heaven—Green Day’s got a way of summing things up with  “American Idiot”  and how we’re living in  “Troubled Times.” Then I went to the library to work… or at least tried to. I ended up people-watching 👀, sipping my coffee, and star...
