I Aced My Math Midterm—Yes, You Read That Right! 🎉

-

 

Guys, I am confident I finally did it! After struggling with algebra before, I completed the second exam, and I know I aced the math midterm! 🧮✏️ And let me tell you, it feels amazing. If you know me, you know math has never been my best friend (more like a frenemy I tolerate). But this time? I came prepared, calculator in hand (well, phone in hand 📱), and knocked it out of the park!

Shoutout to my professor for letting us use our calculators—whether it was a regular one or our phones. That was a game-changer! 🔥 Seriously, having that little boost made all the difference. I still don’t feel totally confident in math, but I can honestly say I’m starting to understand it more. That’s a huge step forward from where I was before.

It sucks that I failed at first, and the professor I had back then wasn’t as helpful as this one. 😮‍💨 So in a way, I’m actually glad I had to retake it—even though it’s at night (ugh, 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM 🌙). But at least we got out at 6:30 PM tonight because of the exam, so that was a small win!

I was able to breeze through problems like:
✅ (4x + 34)° and (6x + 6)°: Solving for x, I ended up with x = -4, and the angles were 8° and 32°.
✅ (15x + 3)° and (10x + 2)°: Here, I got x = -1, and the angles turned out to be 18° and 12°.
✅ (6x + 4)° and (8x - 2)°: This one gave me x = 2, resulting in angles of 16° and 14°.
✅ P = a + b + c (where P = 19, a = 6, c = 6): I solved for b and got b = 7.
✅ d = rt (where d = 280, r = 50): I divided to find t, and t = 5.6.
✅ (14x + 2)° and (11x + 3)°: Solving for x, I found the larger angle measured 44°.
✅ Finding the cost of plywood for a door: Since I needed to cover a surface, I used area instead of perimeter.

Now, the final is still on the horizon (April or May, so I’ve got time 📅), but knowing I can use the tools to help with this midterm gives me so much motivation to keep pushing. One step closer to saying goodbye to math forever! 🚀

I’ve been working hard, and it feels like it paid off big time. 💪🏾 To anyone else struggling with a subject—don’t give up! 🏆 Use your resources, ask for help, and take those little victories as proof that you can do this. I did, and it paid off big time!

Now, time to ride this high and focus on the next goal. Let’s gooo! 🎯

🧬 Marjorie Taylor Greene: The Neanderthal Exhibit We Never Asked For 🦕

Sometimes, history reminds us where we came from — fossils, ancient bones, and cavemen who somehow evolved enough to invent fire and clothes. Then there’s Marjorie Taylor Greene — living, breathing proof that evolution can backslide like a busted shopping cart on a hill 🛒⬇️. I stumbled across a meme that almost made me choke on my tea ☕💀.  On the left: a hyper-realistic model of a Neanderthal woman from the Museum of Confluences in Lyon, France 🏛️. On the right: MTG — a U.S. Congresswoman who opens her mouth and manages to drag us all back to 40,000 B.C. 🗿 The resemblance? Brutal.  The meme? A savage masterpiece. My reaction? Laughing, cringing, then realizing… this isn’t even satire anymore. This is Congress 🎪. Now before the torch mobs whine about “bullying” 🪧😭, let’s get one thing straight: this isn’t about looks — it’s about behavior, mindset, and ignorance dressed up in a blazer with a mic 🎤🧠❌. When you push conspiracy theories, deny science, and treat facts...

Sipping in Solitude: Refreshing Drinks to Keep You Cool and Calm🧉

Hi there 👋🏾 (or not, because we both know I’m awkward about greetings). Let’s just dive in. As someone who thrives on quiet moments and minimal human interaction, I’ve realized there’s nothing better than a refreshing drink to elevate my me-time. 🍹 Whether it’s a cozy night in with a book 📚, a Netflix binge 🎥, or just staring out the window contemplating life 🌧️, the right drink makes everything feel a little more  extra . Recently, I stumbled into the fascinating world of winter citrus, and let me tell you—it’s a whole new vibe. 🍊 There are so many unique varieties I’d never heard of before, like Buddha’s hand, yuzu, and cara cara oranges. I’ve never seen or tasted most of these fruits, but just from looking at them, I can imagine how delicious and refreshing they must be. Like, who wouldn’t want some fancy lemonade made with these? 😍💁🏾‍♀️ Naturally, my introverted self thought, “This would be perfect for making drinks while I enjoy my alone time.” So, I’ve put toge...
