Surviving Monday Madness: Algebra, Geese, and Zombie Creations 🧟‍♀️📚🚏

-

It’s one of those Mondays where everything just feels off balance. 😩

First up was algebra—one of my biggest struggles. Between exponents and quotients, I feel like I’m just barely hanging on. 📐➗ With only 10 of us left in class (it’s wild how students drop off near the end of the semester), the professor keeps calling on me. Not complaining, but I have to wonder: why pay for a class if you’re not going to show up? 🤔

Then, on my way back from a bathroom break, I was traumatized. Someone left a truly horrific mess without even bothering to flush. 💩😱 I mean, come on—how hard is it? College students should know better by now! 🙄

As if the day wasn’t chaotic enough, I ran into a gang of geese 🦢 blocking the sidewalk near my art school. These birds have no fear! 😳 I had to actually walk in the street to get around them. I can hear them quacking outside my window now—hopefully, they’re not plotting an attack on someone! 😂😅

After my mixed media class 🎨 let out at 3:30, I was absolutely starving. 🍽️ Skipping lunch at noon wasn’t the best choice, so I went to the nearby Chinese spot for a quick fix. 🍗 I didn’t want a full meal—just something to hold me over—but ended up paying $7 for four pieces of chicken. 🐔 Probably should’ve gone for the six pieces at $11 to get my money’s worth, but at least I had a banana 🍌 to help fill the gap.

Moments like this make me wish I lived closer to campus. 🏠 If I had housing nearby, I could go home to eat or just chill between classes. But I live two towns over, and financial aid didn’t cover room and board. 🥲 Oh well—fingers crossed 🤞🏾 for better food options next time!

Today, my art professor 👩‍🏫 had us showcase our projects from the semester. I like my other pieces, but I have to admit, I wasn’t a fan of my zombie. 🧟‍♀️ Sure, zombies are supposed to look messed up, but mine looked like something out of Swamp Thing—or, as my classmate said, “The Thing”! 😂 My professor liked it for its “originality,” even though I thought it belonged in the trash. 🗑️ But she said it’s complete, and since it’s due today, I’m ready to move on to the next project! 🎉

Now, I’m making the long trek 🚶🏾‍♀️ from campus to the bus stop and then onward to home. Honestly, I’m so tired of walking. 😂 It feels like everyone else has a scooter 🛴 or a car 🚗, and here I am—still trying to pass my road test. Smh 🤦🏾‍♀️

I finally made it to the bus stop 🚏, only to be greeted by a traffic jam 🚦 and the lovely smell of manure. 💩 For anyone wondering, that’s shit 💩 or poop 😂 at its finest. Now, onwards to home 🏠 as I’m finally on the bus 🚍, and thank god for that because my shoulders are aching from carrying this bag! 🎒

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...
