excited for this confinement to end so i can skate

of course. of course we go into another lockdown right when the semester is about to end. my mom still goes to work which means i'm gonna be stuck at home with my stepfather alone for the next fucking month. maybe if everyone hadn't run wild and ignored safety measures during the holidays this shit wouldn't have happened. we're getting over 10k cases daily.. i'm in a small country so that's insane to me
he's already playing music loudly when he knows damn well i have multiple tests and presentations to prepare for next week. i've literally given up on studying for today, i can't concentrate at all. i'll just try again tomorrow
when i think about how long i'm gonna be stuck in this apartment with this asshole i feel completely hopeless.. please covid vaccine i'm begging for you to work

extreme ramblings ahead
Spoileri have way too big of an ego when it comes to intelligence and grades (two things that aren't necessarily related, i know), and i really need to let that go. whenever i don't get the best grade among my friend group, i feel like shit even if it was still a good grade. i guess being afraid people would judge me if i scored lower than them made me more judgmental myself. oooor maybe being judgmental made me afraid people would judge me too, i think that might be it. all i know is that my mom always gave more importance to my test scores than my passions and i'm sure that has affected me somehow, unfortunately. i used to have all these interests and hobbies that i was naturally good at but nobody ever nurtured that passion and pushed me to keep at it. editing, playing instruments, writing, etc. i put all that aside because school work my future job were more important. it's ridiculous
i am aware that grades 100% do not reflect how smart you are. i knew a guy in high school who straight up never paid attention in class and didn't even try when it came to tests but he was actually very intelligent. i got better grades than him but i can confidently say he was smarter than me. although, maybe being smarter than someone is a bit of a broad statement to make. i'm sure we all have our strengths and weaknesses. intelligence is not something that's easy to measure (despite what IQ tests may tell you) and there are many different kinds of it. it's a bit frustrating that i know all this and believe in everything i've just written, but i'm still insecure whenever i don't get the best score out of the entire class on a test because of what others may think. even placing first among all test scores doesn't soothe me anymore because all i can think is "can i do this well again on the next test? will i maintain my spot and meet everyone's expectations of me?"
both in school and in university, i've been nothing but demotivated. our educational system always finds a way to suck the life out of us and, lately, i haven't had much patience to push through my back-to-back 2 hour classes and memorize every bit of terminology the professor throws at us. my poor little country is in a tight spot and probably can't do much about that right now (although our government does waste a lot of money on stupid shit) but it pains me to see that there are economically thriving, big countries out there who still have the same type of life-sucking educational system. learning can and should be fun, but i don't think half of all teachers, principals, ministers of education even give a fuck about that
i yearn for the day more people realize how important having a good upbringing is, the day more people stop having kids when they have no intention in being attentive parents, the day more people start giving two shits about how their kids are raised and educated. i am exhausted of this backwards century-old educational system which has remained stuck in time instead of evolving along with society
in general, people's mental health is getting worse every year and the way our lives are structured is honestly pitiful. why do we just endure it? why are there so many people trying to set us back instead of making progress to make our lives more tolerable? why do we have to spend most of our lives stressing about so many trivial and superficial things? why do so many people insist on hurting each other? i'm exhausted of having to put on a mask every day and worry about shit that no one should have to worry about
anyway, let me stop before i write 10 more paragraphs about everything and nothing all at once. i guess what i'm trying to say is: i hate it here and i wish life was fun

it sounds pretty outdated to me BUT the chorus could pass for a more recent song, it's mostly the verses that make it sound older imo

it kinda reminds me of hann too much but it slaps

it's a pleasant song but not very memorable imo. it's another one of those title tracks where it generally sounds good but it feels like there's something missing. mv was cute

this decision really shows how strong they are as a group. got7 has never been one of my faves but i'm quite fond of them and wish them the best now that they're free. i'm especially curious to see the type of songs they'll release now that JYP won't be there to reject all their ideas

this concept is gonna be elite

i don't bother with that because i have thick curly hair which covers the sideburns anyway. out of sight out of mind
but, in general, sideburns don't bother me or most girls i know at all. i think people look just as good with or without them

i've been obsessed with the song from the moment it came out, i already know it's gonna be one of those timeless bops

Portugal
well, i was born in Germany and lived there until i was 5 but since i've spent most of my life in Portugal that's where i consider myself from
i want to move back to Germany once i finish university though

LMAOO love this energy

i can't believe my best friend is getting back together with her douchebag of an ex. i remember how awful that relationship was for her and i honestly can't see that changing now with this "2nd chance". she's completely blinded by the idea of what they could be rather than thinking about how they actually are as a couple. all her friends dislike him but she refuses to take outside perspectives into consideration. this is honestly a fucking nightmare. last time they dated, he somehow managed to make her hate herself and treat pretty much everyone she knows, including me, like shit. idk if i can put up with this again. she constantly associates herself with bad people and enables them as long as she thinks they aren't hurting her directly. i'm worried about her and don't want to see her get hurt but at this point i'm starting to give up on helping her. it's getting harder and harder to overlook the fact that she allows people to be shitheads to others as long as they don't act that way towards her.
she's honestly the only person in my life i can call a close friend and i don't want this asshole to drive us apart again, especially if it ends with her being heartbroken and crying for months again over this loser who doesn't deserve it

i found out about stan twitter in early 2017 which is also when i started taking part in it. i was just looking through tweets from my faves and i found people with entire accounts dedicated to "stanning" and thought it looked fun
but stan twitter was hell and it still is, i could write an entire essay on all the bad things about it because there's so much to cover. i'm glad i no longer give it the importance i used to. if it wasn't good for me when i was 15, i can only feel bad for all the 12 year olds on there nowadays

I really love nintendo and playstation systems (especially PS3 and the switch)
Some of my favorite games are Stardew Valley, Persona 5, The Wolf Among Us, Warframe and Guild Wars 2
i have a feeling i'll be adding multiple nintendo exclusives to this list once i get more games for my switch though

Rainbow Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin
i was crying within 2 episodes, it deals with some heavy themes but i'm enjoying it. keeps me on the edge of my seat
-
nope, they always wrapped the gift and kept it bunched up with all the other gifts they bought for the rest of my family. i normally wouldn't know which one was mine so i just left it alone
-
YESS turns out i am getting the switch after all and it's arriving a lot earlier than i thought too!! i'm so happy, i ordered it yesterday and it's currently on its way. now i just have to find a way to cope with my impatience. it supposedly comes tomorrow so i really hope there aren't any delays or anything
the only game i got for now is animal crossing: new horizons, i hope that keeps me entertained until i get more in a week or so. i might pick up breath of the wild next idk yet
Spoilerlol it's kinda funny looking at my concerns in my previous post here because it turns out i did have nothing to worry about. my mom did not give a shit because, like i said, i'm grown and it's my money. she didn't even make any negative comments about it. i guess she's finally letting me grow up and has stopped judging my interests which is cool
safe to say this has significantly improved my mood for the week

this makes me happy

immediately thought of momoland

this is so pretty, it might be my favorite enhypen mv now (well they only have 2 to choose from lol but still). i wish the blue outfits had gotten more screen time than the astronaut/mechanic ones but who cares the members look amazing regardless
the plot for their storyline is getting really interesting now too, i'm actually keeping up with theories for once
did you go away to college/uni or stay home?

stayed home because most people here in portugal just go to their nearest university. most universities don't even have dorms and, if they do, there's very few rooms. it kinda sucks because i spend 4+ hours commuting every day (a lot of walking and taking trains). that's one of the few things i envy about countries like the USA, dorm life seems like a super fun and enriching experience. i was also planning on studying in germany for a semester but covid got in the way
