*gets invitation for a social thing*

me: I’m going to need to be so drunk to get through this

Other me: but you’re allergic to alcohol me: *already compiling an apology text* oh noooo what a shame

”Do you want to replay your year?“

No thank you, I don’t want to be told about how I’ve been neurotically listening to the same three albums for an entire year.

Sunset at 3:50 and it’s raining all day till then 🤗 what kind of sick joke-

how i've been feeling about doing coursework for the essay-based modules in my engineering degree:

Turns out I like learning math, what I don’t love is other people’s lives depending on my math

A terrible habit i've picked up on is complementing advice.

I love advice, and when its good and relevant and in a format I can understand well, I genuinely appreciate and encourage it.

So in response, i'll be like, "that's a good one" or "ooh i wouldn't have thought of that", etc. and idk where the line when it starts to sound more condescending than grateful is???

It doesn't help that i have this tone of voice that i have been told multiple times sounds 'permanently sarcastic', which is a whole other can of worms...

I guess accepting advice this is just one of those skills i have to put conscious effort into improving whenever the opportunity arises, until one day it'll just become part of my good communication repertoire! Excited for that :)

the first thing i did when I came into this earth as a baby was inhale liquid and I think that’s set a precedent for how the rest of my life is going.

think i had a "moment"

I just saw a guy fully kneeling on the floor of this Asda, comparing two items with a third one set aside as a backup option and is this what attraction feels like?

Idk if I want to become an engineer anymoreee

I saw one of these signs at the train station recently and my instinctual reaction to seeing 6101 was, 'niiice that type of aluminium makes great floor joists'.

Is this my life now?

I keep having to skip club meetings for my school's writing society and it feels like the universe is challenging me to persevere and prove to myself how important writing is to me.

Alternatively, it's trying to save the world from what I might birth into it.
