Learning Experiences

I realized I don’t prefer going out unless I do something productive in the process. For example, my mom and my sister always seek to go somewhere just to sit and talk or walk around. I understand how they would want to do that, I feel like you have to be mindful of the time period we’re in. Because of that, I love going out, but only if I’m accomplishing something. That makes going out seem less of a pointless risk that I’m taking.

Current Events

I can’t believe the government chooses to reveal UFOs to us now of all times, haha. If I were any type of alien living out there, I wouldn’t want anything to do with us. This planet is dying, and as a whole, humans kinda suck.

Observations

One really finds out who their real friends that will stick by them during quarantine. There’s lots of birthdays going on, and I bet you can realize who remembers, and who will take time out of their day to get you present of simply text or facetime you to show love. I just find it so interesting. More and more I find quarantine may be more beneficial than it appears.

Reflections

My sleep schedule is officially beyond saving. I go to sleep around sunrise, and when I wake up, I rarely do any work. I simply do minimal studying for my exams so I won’t be completely lost, and then I lay around all day. I’m kind of shameless about it because I’m proud that I’m just staying positive after I’ve been deprived of so many things that I love. And if my grades suffer because of my choice to maintain happiness, so be it. Besides, I’ve already made it into the college I wanted, and grades are almost impossible to go down now. The only thing that would benefit me from working harder is having to pay less for classes if I pass these AP exams. So that’s why I’m applying effort, but admittedly the bare minimum.
