I would offer many apologies to my extensive audience as to why I have taken yet another break and come back only to post the most self-centered thing to ever exist, but as my extensive audience consists mainly of me, my best friend, and occasionally my mother, I feel that I’m satisfying my audiences needs very accurately.

Surprisingly, I do have an excuse that, if you do not utilize any of your critical thinking skills, might hold up against scrutiny for a few seconds. I moved into a dorm! It is an experience that has called my ability to survive independently into question.

For example:

• I had no foresight to order a mini-fridge with a filter, nor did I know where the water fountains were located and nor did I bring any water, so I was severely dehydrated for several days until I grew desperate enough to finally address my need for one of the requirements for life and buy a pack of water.
• I get up too late for breakfast and far too late for dinner, so lunch is my go-to meal and I always get pizza, oranges, and no salad. At this point I am probably extremely nutrient-deficient.
• But actually I’ve recently discovered you can spend a certain amount of money from your meal plan at Starbucks so my intake of Mocha Cookie Crumbles has increased while my intake of water has exponentially decreased.
• I was very lonely despite living in the dorms so I drew faces on post-it notes and taped them on my walls so I could pretend that I had friends.
• At the very least I now see the sun occasionally and am thusly re-acquiring my tan.
• Almost forgot but I am also sleep-deprived, which has become my M.O. Is it because I’m studying hard to achieve my academic goals? Lol no it’s simply because I make poor life choices in which I continuously choose to read web-novels and manga at 2AM in the morning when I have class at 8.

Am I a self-sustaining adult, or am I an amoeba? Who knows. I don’t.

Of course, I’ve had ample time to acclimate to the new situation, but my skills of adaptability are so limited and slow that it should have been expected that it’s taken me several months to address the matter of this blog. Obviously.

Loneliness is still a thing, but really, it’s not so bad. There’s lot’s of time to think.

• For example, Web Novels are an under-utilized resource in the reading community that needs to be exploited ASAP, go to Novel Updates and go find some. What do you mean you haven’t read the masterpiece that is Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint? If you haven’t read that you haven’t lived.
• On the topic of families being extremely upset over their children’s disabilities, especially if they’re severe and born with them: I hadn’t noticed what a disservice we were doing to these children and adults with special needs. Being upset about a loved one’s poor health is fine; mourning the absence of a healthy, neurotypical kid that had never even been born is not, not when you have your loved one (despite their challenges) right in front of you.
• I came up with a good insight about writing for a homework assignment so I’ll quote myself here:

The nature of writing is to be thought given physical form, and a person cannot see their thoughts written before them (however subtly they may be portrayed) and not be inclined toward introspection. I learned that part of writing involved tearing yourself in half and pressing your vulnerabilities onto paper. I learned that part of reading was witnessing someone else do the same.

• Listening to “Welly Boots” by The Amazing Devil will elevate you to a higher plane of existence.

Remarkably, I remembered that dinner isn’t over just yet so I’m going to run and get my daily pizza and orange.

Any thoughts on your minds?
