Sitting Solo in the Student Union

-



College at 37 is… interesting 😂. As I sit here in the Student Union, already finished with breakfast, just people-watching, I can’t help but notice the cliques—especially all the athletes hanging together. While I’m introverted and not really a people person, it amazes me how much I suck at this whole making friends thing 😂. It’s not really me, though. It’s the whole “starting over” that’s ugh.

I haven’t found anyone my age group, and I just don’t have much in common with the high schoolers around here. Some people who started when I did already have their own group of friends. Lucky them lol. The only classes where people actually talk to me or I talk to them are in web design and art, but other than that, it’s pretty quiet.

Honestly, the people that I used to be friends with started to act funny, so I took out the trash in those friendships. And of course, the death of my best friend Mark left a big gaping hole in my heart 💔.

Eh, I’ve got four years to find my own clique of friends. Who knows?

Also, there are a lot of cute guys around, but I wouldn’t even know how to approach that…or if they’re even my age group. Some of them look older, but who knows? 😂

Oh well, it is what it is. Now I need to start making my way back to my next class. That bacon hit the spot 🥓. Maybe I should check out some clubs next semester!

But seriously…is anyone actually reading my blog? 😂 I know I’m not internet-famous with a million followers, but…hello, is anyone reading this shit? 🤷🏾‍♀️ 😂😂😂

I just saw one of my classmates from web design, and she was so nice and said hi 👋🏾. Earlier, though, I saw another classmate from math, and she just walked by like I wasn’t even there lol 😂. See the difference? I don’t know.

How do I even approach people to be friends and see what happens? My awkwardness is showing its face again 😂—uh oh, in my Scooby-Doo voice!

It’s officially 11:26 AM, so now I need to go because ChatGPT can write my essay for me lmao 🤣 🤫 🤐. Well, I should say help organize my thoughts. This post really solidifies my thought process—it’s all over the place 😂. Oh, my poor awkwardly introverted heart!



P.S. I got an email back from my writing professor, the one I’m in class with, and this dude just asked for a final draft. Dude, how many revisions do you need? OMG 😳. This will be the fourth one! I’m not working on that while I’m away on vacation—there’s nothing else that needs to be fixed. Too picky!

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...
