Awkwardly Introverted

There’s nothing quite like that moment when you finally collapse into bed after a long, exhausting day. The second your body hits the mattress, it's like an instant wave of relief washes over you. The blankets wrap you up just right, the pillow molds perfectly under your head, and for the first time all day, you feel at peace.   This is the moment you’ve been looking forward to since you first got out of bed this morning. Let’s be real—some days feel like a never-ending marathon. Work, school, responsibilities, social interactions (ugh), and just  existing  can drain every ounce of energy. The struggle to stay awake in class, the never-ending to-do lists, and the brutal cold outside? Yeah, all of it just makes that final moment of getting under the covers even  sweeter . And don’t even get me started on the  bedtime rituals.  That feeling of throwing on your comfiest pajamas, turning off the lights, grabbing your phone to do some mindless scrolling, or crac...

  The air is sharp, biting at my skin the second I step outside. The kind of cold that settles into your bones, making you question every life choice that led you to this exact moment. The world is covered in frost, trees standing like frozen statues, and the wind doesn’t whisper—it howls, demanding attention. 🌬️🌨️ Winter always comes with this eerie silence, like the earth itself is holding its breath. The streets are emptier, footsteps muffled under layers of snow and ice. People move quicker, heads down, wrapped in scarves and regrets, all of us collectively wondering why we haven’t migrated somewhere warmer. 🏔️🧣 Hot coffee ☕, thick blankets 🛋️, and the false promise of warmth from a weak sun—that’s all we have. The heater struggles, the chill seeps through the walls, and suddenly, everything feels like too much effort. Going outside? Only if absolutely necessary. Social plans? Canceled. Productivity? Frozen solid. ❄️😩 And don’t even get me started on walking to class. My ...

I’m   over it.   The cold is unbearable, the wind is ruthless, and no matter how many layers I put on, it’s   never enough.   My heater is working   overtime , but honestly, it’s fighting for its life and   barely making a difference.   I’m wrapped in blankets like a human burrito 🌯, and yet, somehow, I’m   still freezing. This kind of cold isn’t just inconvenient—it’s  aggressive.  It sneaks into every crack, makes my bones ache, and turns simple tasks into a  battle for survival.  Stepping outside? Feels like a  personal attack.  The wind doesn’t just blow;  it slaps.  It doesn’t just chill;  it cuts.  Yesterday, it was so cold that I literally  couldn’t catch my breath  😵‍💫. That’s when you know it’s bad—when even the  air itself  is out to get you. This isn’t normal. This is too much. Winter always  overstays its welcome , and I’m at my  breaking point.  Th...

  Good morning! It’s 11:13 AM, and let me tell you—I almost busted my ass going down the steps just a few minutes ago. Yesterday, it snowed, and now it’s a full-on winter wonderland outside. ❄️ Everything is covered in white, looking all pretty and peaceful… until you realize there’s ice hiding underneath, just waiting to take you out. Slippery as fuck. I’m pretty sure classes might get moved to remote again because, honestly, who wants to risk sliding across campus like a cartoon character? Not me. I’d rather stay inside, cozy and warm, sipping something hot while watching the snowfall  from a  safe distance. We get so caught up in the rush of life—deadlines, responsibilities, stress—that we forget one of the simplest yet most important things: waking up each day is a gift. This little cow sipping coffee in the sunlight perfectly captures that feeling of slowing down and appreciating the moment. Sometimes, it’s easy to focus on what’s missing, what’s wrong, or what ...

Today started off  freezing —36°F with a wind so sharp it felt personal. 🥶 I bundled up like an eskimo and got to class way too early (so early even my professor hadn’t arrived). ⏰ With nothing else to do, I skimmed through my notes while waiting for things to start. 📚 The class was fine, but  group projects ? Still the bane of my existence. 😒 I handled my part, but the team? Not so much. Luckily, my professor reassured me that my grade wouldn’t suffer because of their slacking. Small wins! ✅ Afterward, I grabbed lunch to tide me over before meeting my professor again. 🍴 But can we talk about FDU’s overpriced, mediocre campus food? 💸 Eleven bucks for something so bland it felt like daylight robbery. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Once I wrapped up with my professor, I uploaded my work and hit the library for some study time. 📖 Even indoors, the chill seemed to linger, making it hard to focus. 🥶 (Pro tip: bring extra layers—it’s not just cold outside!) I realized I still have my art class assi...

This morning, autumn came in full force—cold, brisk, and stealing my warmth with no mercy 🥶. I bundled up, hands numb and coffee quickly losing heat, wondering where that last bit of summer had gone. But now? It’s like a different season altogether. This afternoon is a complete 180, with beautiful warm weather filling the air. It’s now 60 degrees 😂! I’ve already peeled off my coat, feeling like I’m living in two different climates on the same day. It’s as if the weather can’t make up its mind, and I’m just along for the ride—never quite sure if I need to bundle up or cool down. Mother Nature’s in a mood, and all I can do is try to keep up 🌞🍃. But honestly, I’m loving this unpredictable warmth while it lasts because I know winter won’t be as kind. This weather feels like a treat, a reminder to enjoy every bit of it… though I can’t help but wonder if it’ll lead to an early snow ❄️🤔.

As I step outside and feel the crisp air against my skin, there’s no denying it—autumn is officially here. The leaves are falling, creating a blanket of amber and gold beneath the trees 🍁, and the once-warm breeze now carries a cold bite 🥶, reminding me that summer is really over. Fall/Autumn 🍃🍁🍂 is here now. Why do I say that? Because it’s freaking cold ❄️ 🥶 outside as I walk to my classes. You can feel the coldness in the air and sense that change 😢😭. It’s like the season arrived with a sudden, sharp reminder that the days of warmth are fading fast, and honestly, I’m not embracing it. I really hate cold weather 😡, even though I love the changing seasons. But wearing layers of clothes and having my hands hurt from the cold… that’s NOT my favorite thing at all. Today, Teaneck is sitting at a brisk 64°F, with clouds draping the sky in a muted gray ☁️, casting a gloomy mood over everything. It’s one of those days where the cold settles in, making you want to wrap up in layers ju...

 The Freeze Has Arrived… At 2:02 AM ❄️😭 It’s official — the cold has really arrived. At 2:02 AM, I could feel it in my bones. The freeze is here in Jersey, and I am not ready for this. 😫 I had no choice but to surrender to the cold, wrapping myself up in my fuzzy pajamas 🥶. Don’t get me wrong, I love a cozy night in as much as anyone, but it’s just not the same without the sunshine beaming down. ☀️ I’m already missing those hot summer afternoons, the long days, and the smell of sunscreen in the air. 🌊🕶️ Now it’s just… cold. ❄️ The worst part? It’s only September! 😫 Hot cocoa and cozy nights are cute, sure, but I’d trade them in a heartbeat for some sunshine and warmth. ☀️ Please, summer, come back soon — we need you more than ever. 🙏🏾
