Lent has begun!

I’m am nowhere near a very good Catholic [I have a lot of opposing views, and never attend church, among many other reasons]

But I was raised Catholic so I’ve always practiced Lent, and I honestly really like the idea behind the practice and I think it can help you better yourself. So here are the things I will be giving up this year:  

 Let’s hope I can last until Easter :)

Alone on Valentine’s isn’t that bad guys!

Tumblr gets so sad about Valentine’s day. It’s not so bad. My roommate made me chocolates  and I slept in.

And I saw lots of friends today at RHA, and Emma brought her blow up buddy doll, Brad, and I got a free t-shirt. 

And I finally got over my nerve to not quit the Leadership class. I’m pretty committed to living with Megan so there’s no point.

And I said Happy Valentine’s Day to the people who I really meant to tell it to.  

So it’s not so bad

I make smart decisions!

Still not studying for my math midterm

That awkward moment when you are overwhelmed with sad thoughts and your roommate worries about you getting depressed again…

While not studying for my math midterm…

If I had done good in high school, I would have had the GPA to get into Berkeley, the school of my dreams. The school I already had so many memories in, the school I had plenty of clothing an sweaters from, the school where I already knew the best food places, the opportunities throughout campus.

But sadly, I had to deal with getting rejected from my dream, even though I knew it was coming, I was still devastated. And now I’m at UC Riverside, I look back at college apps now and I regret that I didn’t apply to some places. I think I was scared,too many applications might lead to too many rejections.

UC Rejects. That’s one of the nicknames for this place. I have since I chosen tried to ignore this stigma, I’ve tried to look at it in a positive light. It’s still a UC. If I went somewhere else I wouldn’t have met some of these awesome people. [I wouldn’t have met some of these shitty people either.] 

I have been trying to really embrace one of my favorite PTV lines, “forget regret” But unfortunately I am still a dweller and I cannot help but get sad at times [like now] that I could have done so much better and made my own dreams come true. 

If I went to Berkeley, my life would be near perfect. I wouldn’t be so miserably homesick as I am now, because I could go to shows in the Bay Area with my friends, I could see my family any weekend I please, I could soak in the thought that I was where I dreamed of going. I could not be such a fucking disappointment [to myself and others]. 

My school can’t even protest properly. We don’t have a football team. There’s nothing near campus, so without a car I’m sadly stuck on an empty campus every weekend with little to do but watch other people go to and from parties and friends houses, and their own homes.

I cannot help but regret my grades. I can’t help but regret my SAT score my ACT score. I think the worst part is that even though I really do try to be optimistic and not so depressed, I am frankly terrified that this regret and disappointment and frustration will stay with me for a very long time.

One midterm down, two to go.

My sociology textbook’s chapters are split up into different ethnic groups, and each chapter tells about the bullshit the the dominant white group put them through in America. 


It is starting to get repetitive, but I need to learn everything by tomorrow! 
After that midterm, I’m getting Panda Express and taking a nap 
[Only so I can wake up and study for my math midterm -.-] 

At least my Computer Science midterm today was easy.

Must survive til Friday, when I get to see Pierce The Veil in Pomona!!!! <3 
*insert over dramatic squealing and screaming and jumping and clapping and basically me being a 12 year old with beiber fever….*
