 new shit dropping June 25

I'm typing this entry after helping plan out a spring break retreat with my college friends and having spent an entire (non-alcoholic) kickback day with my high school friends. It's been a pretty social day, and I think it's the perfect time to reflect on some stuff. Namely, the first quarter of college. First and foremost, HOLY FUCK. UCSB has been such a huge learning experience. I've put so much effort into trying to improve my study habits. At the same time, I've met so many people and developed these new friendships that I'm so proud of. Also, I've drunk and partied. Shit's pretty gas. As a former mega-stereotypical $TEM nerd, I never thought I would've done those things so early into my college career. But here I am, 4 parties and multiple drink seshes in my first quarter. (I am not an alcoholic btw) Alright, now time to get into the nitty-gritty.  I'll start with the boring shit. ACADEMICS. So, I'm a computer engineer. This fall quarter...

I thought the yearbook would have been finalized and out by now, and I would've been able to write some deep metaphorical tie-in about how "my last year before really becoming an adult concluded when the yearbook was finalized, perhaps a metaphor of how the year ends when we're able to reflect and smile back at everything." But unfortunately, many boring have happened and the yearbook has been delayed for a whole decade. Well anyways, the yearbook's gonna be out soon. Probably 2 weeks.  YEARBOOK'S OVER. HOLY SHIT. IT'S BEEN A WHOLE G*D D*MN YEAR OF THIS, AND IT'S FINALLY OVER. THE WEIGHT'S OFF MY SHOULDERS.  Well, kinda. The yearbook's finalized. The only thing left to do is wait. The printed book will be out in early October, and the digital version will be out sometime. I have no idea. The new editors-in-chief had no idea we were having a digital release until Monday. Absolutely nuts. Well, I guess that's on me and EIC2 and EIC3. Anyways,...

What's bracking G boys. It's 8/13/2021, 12:29 AM as I'm writing this, and I figured now would be an okay time to start on this thing I've had in mind: writing a blog. The whole reason for doing that is because I'm heading off to college in a month, and I know there are still things I never talked about that I want to talk about. I just want to reflect on my experiences and dive into personal stuff that I've never had the opportunity to organically bring up with others. Like how my year in quarantine's been. Or talking about my role models. Or my family. I know those things might sound like small talk conversations that you half-assedly chat about during passing period, but those topics have weight to them for me. There are some serious and personal conversations that I never got to explore with anyone, and this whole blog is just me talking to myself about that.  Maybe along the way, you'll feel inspired to reflect on your own life and experiences. Maybe...
