1975

 Rumors are going around about a 1975 spring tour and im here to say I need to go and I will be going no matter what. I am still mad I missed out on seeing them in 2022 when I had the chance (I was still in hs and I did not have a car and had no friends that wanted to go BUT STILL). The amount of fomo I felt watching their Glastonbury set was insane. I literally watch yt videos of them performing because I thought the chances of seeing them live were slim to none. If there has ever been a time I need to win the ticketmaster war it is NOW. 

also if this spring usa tour is a rumor shit it got me and I will be mad, but seriously I need to go, seriously.

the impending doom of post grad

 Literally everyone said it. "really enjoy these next four years because before you know it, it will be over." as a freshman going into college you hear that and you are like okay whatever. You get to experience your trial into adulthood, away from your parents but not quite old enough to be out in the world fully by yourself. 

The beginning stages of adulthood are so new and exciting you are not prepared for when the exposition leads to conflict.

As a rising senior in college it truly felt like the past three years in college were the exposition part of my story as I were to follow Freytag's Pyramid of Story Structure. I set the tone of who I am as a person and got a sense of what it is like to live independently, now we are going into the rising action, which is me trying to find a job post grad. You genuinely blink and it's over, so when a family member, friend, or teacher tells you the next four years of your life will be the quickest of your life, believe them and do not take a single second for granted. Get involved on campus, apply for that job, speak up in class, do everything. It sounds easier than it is in practice, trust me, I know, but my single piece of advice for anyone starting college in the fall it is to PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE. I will be taking my own advice going into my senior year, since it will be my last year I will be going out and talking to new people, no more staying in and bed rotting.

Now going into the conflict side of Freytag's Pyramid of Story Structure, today I sat at my desk at my internship and got so stressed out because I realized I was going to be a senior and I had no idea what I was going to be doing post grad. I literally sat and used company time to scroll through LinkedIn for more than an hour. Having spent that time stressed about my future I realized another thing, this would be the last year me and all my friends will be in the same state. I could stress about the future all I wanted but I cannot change what it is, the future. I need to focus on the now and cherish every moment for how it is presented to me. This is not to say I am just giving up on trying to find a job, obviously that is still very important to me, and I will be applying when applications open, but I can decide if that stress will take over my life or not. I am still young, I still have the ability to hang out with friends while balancing work, applications, and school.

The moral of this story is to live your life, breathe air, and know somehow your gonna get there and it will be so wonderful.

AMC A-lister

I am in fact an AMC A-Lister, and sadly none of my friends are. This just means I find myself at the movies alone more often than I find myself with someone, and that is A-Okay with me. My mom get worried about me being by myself at the Movies but I rlly enjoy being able to sit down and relax by myself with a iced Mr. Pibb in hand. As Nicole Kidman says, "heartbreak feels good in a place like this," and I have come to find out it really does. 

dating in 2026

In the age of online dating, actually meeting a guy in person is unheard of. You hear stories about how people's parents met on a chance encounter, through mutual friends, or, and yes this is true it happened with my friend's parents, met performing together at Disney World, but in recent years when was the last time you heard about anything like that happening. Now maybe this whole thing is a me and my friend issue, but the discourse about dating in 2026 I hear online tells me it is not. 

To dissect this we need to find the root of the problem. Online dating. Or going even broader, the internet.

 

The rise of dating apps have made it so people can just scroll through people's profile and decide if they are worthy of their time with one swipe. There is no longer hard work of pursuing somebody, it is a question of if they are attractive enough in their photos to go on a date with. I mean I am guilty of this too, me and my friends get together and go through our hinge profiles and simply decide if we want to swipe right with a group consensus of if they are hot or not. I do not think this is fair, but it is just the way dating has adapted into. The art of meeting somebody out at a bar is dead. 

Now I do not mean to bash anyone who has met their significant other through a dating app, because it is possible, it is just not often I find this works out. The internet alone has desensitized the general public to what people really look like. Scrolling through Instagram you will find 10 models who have enough money to look however they want and people who know how to use photoshop. There is nothing wrong with wanting to look good in how you present yourself on social media, as we were taught when we were younger, "do not believe everything you see online," but it is because of this rise of plastic surgery and editing we have higher expectations for the level of attractiveness in regular people. The internet has also made it so we are more aware about the dangers of the world.

I have a friend who met somebody at a bar, and he invited her to go on a date with him, but she is too scared to go on it. I don't blame her because growing up we have been taught the very important phrase "stranger danger," and the meaning behind the words are even more present in our lives because we have access to the horrors that can occur via the news, which we always have access to thanks to the internet. Now I do agree it is important to learn about these bad things that happen when you are not careful, but is there a point where you start missing out on life because you are too careful? 

About Me

Setting up this blog has been so much fun and I cannot wait to share my interests and thoughts with the world (the world being a tiny corner of the internet I do not think anyone will stumble across)
