Hey friends! I’ve decided I want to keep you updated with what’s going on in my life. I don’t know I figured talking about my day will help me feel more productive!

First things first unfortunately I’ve been experiencing tons of artblock and writers block over the time I had spent at school. Fun fact: I'm in college now! So I have grades and the ever crushing weight of student debt in my day to day existence. To get through it I’ve did a dtiys and I plan on doing more just so I can create some content well I am at school.

On the bright side I am taking a drawing class! For about 4 hours every Tuesday! So that will force me to grow my skill somewhat which I am looking forward to. I am currently a computer science major but I am not taking any Com Sci classes this semester. Truth be told, I've been feeling a lot of insecurity in my major choice and it’s not helping that I’m not taking any programming classes. Recently I really have been wanting to become a comic book artist or an animator or something in the arts but I feel like my other classes are acting like a weight on my creative freedom.

So yeah I guess that could be the main cause for my art block but I’ve convinced myself that I can do it all. So far I haven’t got too much homework so I really just need to get over the overwhelming dread and tiredness.

I think I’ve slept at least 12 hours or more daily and I have to stop myself from curling up in my bed as soon as I get into my dorm. Also my headaches are back which are probably due to stress so that’s a bop.

Anyway let's get more positive! I went out for lunch yesterday with my family! My family gave me my brothers a hp to play Minecraft on so I might start to stream on twitch soon. I’ve also signed up for some of my school's clubs! I signed up for Gaming, Writing, Art, GSA, and the Drama club. I am also going to try rugby for the first time. I got new cleats and a mouthguard. So anyway my first practice is today so we will see how that goes. (Truth be told I have no idea how to play, I heard it’s like football?)

Also I applied to work at my school's local Dunkin’ Donuts. I got the job immediately and I’m excited to start making some spending money soon. Or at least start paying off my student loans. I got to say that my school is pretty much nocturnal. The mornings are dead and there is basically no one on campus. Also I bought myself a tiny plant that I put in a glass case.

Also I am happy to say my campus has many activities. I went bowling off-campus the other day and I also participated in a free bingo night. My resident hall is hosting a scavenger hunt soon so that will be fun. I also bought a technoblade plushy that was just dropped. So I am very excited to see that when it comes in.

I’ve been meaning to start a consistent streaming schedule for my art. I also have been meaning to finish editing some speedpaints for my YouTube channel but I haven’t really got the time to. Also again I’ve been lacking motivation.

I got to say music has been a lifesaver for me recently. It’s really been the only thing I could focus on and the only thing that could get me through homework and work in general.
