🎓✨ Take a Bow — Math Finals Are OVER! ✨🎓

-

I can finally breathe. 😮‍💨 After what felt like an endless mental marathon 🧠🏃🏾‍♀️ of formulas, substitutions, and equations that haunted my thoughts even in my dreams 😵‍💫💭, I’m proud to say: math finals are officially over. ✅🎉

It’s been a journey—filled with eye-rolls 🙄, deep sighs 😤, late-night tea 🍵, back pain 💢, and moments of wondering if I’d ever make it through 🤔🕓. But I did. 💪🏾✨ And I want to talk about that.

This space—these little digital check-ins 💬—became my behind-the-scenes support. I tackled math that made my head spin 🌀:

  • Expressions like \frac{3y - z}{x + 5} that ended up being undefined because, surprise, division by zero is a real villain 🚫➗👿

  • Systems like:
    3x - 2y = 10
    x + 5y = -8
    That turned into a neat little victory: x = 2, y = -2. 🎯📐

  • Binomials like (5x + 8)^2 expanding like magic into:
    25x² + 80x + 64 ✨🧙🏾‍♀️🧠

  • Even that sneaky one:
    \frac{2x}{x - 8} - \frac{16}{x - 8} = 2
    Clean, simple, done. ✅📏

Each problem was a puzzle 🧩, a hill to climb ⛰️. And now here I am—standing at the top. Tired 😴, but taller. Exhausted 😩, but triumphant. 🏅

Math tried me—but I didn’t back down. 🛡️ I asked questions ❓, I took my time ⏳, I learned 🧠.

And now? I’m done.
No more formulas ➕➖✖️➗
No more finals 🧾🚫
Just fresh air 🌬️, freedom 🕊️, and maybe a nap I’ve been putting off for days 😴🛌

So go ahead—take a bow. 🎭👏🏾
Because if you’ve been through what I’ve been through, you deserve it. 💯
You didn’t just pass your finals—you slayed them. 🔥📚🧠

🎊 Cue the confetti
✏️ Drop the pencil
📕 Close the textbook

You earned this. 💫

Congratulations to the graduates of #2025 🎓—especially my amazing mom! 😏 You’ve worked hard, and now it’s your turn to shine. 🌟

Peace out, math.

We are so done. 🙅🏽‍♀️✌🏽

Mic drop. 🎤

P.S. This was my second time taking Algebra 0298—and you know what they say: second time's the charm. 💫🧠✌🏽

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...
