  • >=10 personal projects (can be anything ig)
  • side-quest more tbh lol (do random things, visit random places, etc)

reflecting on my sem at mit - overall i rlly enjoyed my sem yayay. i think one big reason for this is coz i dont hv to take annoying classes (bm/sejarah cough cough) and well yea i took chem but that wasnt that bad idk (i wasnt focused for most of lectures and started skipping all recitations aft the second midterm hehsjsndng πŸ’€πŸ’€). but also i deliberately kept it pretty light ig, like i didnt commit to any clubs or anything, i'd just pull up to random socials/events πŸ’₯πŸ’₯ like i kept it light cuz idk i was worried i wdnt cope well ++ i wanted to hv the freedom to mess around ykwim πŸ€ΈπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ€ΈπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ€ΈπŸ»β€β™€οΈ im glad w how i did my first sem (academically) BUTTT like bro now im rlly scared for spring CUZ LIKE LIKE LIKE okay first of all im taking 5 classes for the first quarter (then 4 in the second) and on top of that i hv a urop (idk what i signed up for, im scared) ERM and also ramadhan omg im cooked πŸ₯ΆπŸ₯ΆπŸ’” OH YA AND THE WEATHER IS SO BAD. TELL ME WHY THERE R SNOW STORMS THERE???? IM NOT BUILT FOR THISSSSJWJSJDNFG. anyway idk what else there is to talk abt, im not good at reflections ☹️☹️☹️ im a vry think-in-the-moment-only kinda person ykykyk πŸ™‚β€β†•οΈπŸ™‚β€β†•οΈ also im waiting in front of my gate now and my mum keeps sending me reminders and stuff like it never ends like wow she rlly has no faith in me ok anyway. OH YES I LOVE MCCORMICK (my dorm). truly the best dorm ever and i cant imagine staying in another dorm but oh well now i hv to cuz theyre renovating which is like lowkey not bad cuz they said it's two years so like then i get to move back to the new and improved mcc in my senior year but like ppl told me that that's a scam and it's prolly gonna be 3 yrs cuz historically that's what happened w other dorms so if the renovation DOES end up being 3 yrs, BEST BELIEVE U'LL CATCH ME THROWING HANDS. πŸ˜‡πŸ˜‡ i like all the dorm activities in mcc (I LIVE FOR KARAO-CAKE πŸ”₯) and idk everyone's nice anddddd importantly, everyone seems unproblematic 🫢🏻🫢🏻 also i dowanna live around guys like plss mcc is so perfect for me πŸ˜”πŸ˜”πŸ’”πŸ’” ALSO I LOVE MY ROOMMATES (i got randomly placed w them) LIKE THEY'RE SO AWESOME I LOVE THEM. it's so nice coming back to my room and hving cool ppl to talk to UGH πŸ˜«πŸ’— oh ya ya also i made a lot of cool friends (most of my gang is mcc/msa πŸ’₯) and im excited to see them again yayayayayayayay. guys help idk how to write a reflection, if u cant tell im struggling sm rn and my brain is just jumping around from idea to idea, i only know how to live in the present ☹️☹️☹️ dont hate me but im gonna ask chatgpt for some prompts

im bak ok yea nvm i dont like the questions it gave me (read: i dont hv the answers and am too lazy to think abt it). im tryna think abt stuff my future self would find interesting to read but like i think my future self would be interested in actual plot which my life doesnt hv much of rn cuz i just goof around and do random stuff :P

oh hey someone walking by was wearing a harvard hoodie. man why does no one ever wear mit hoodies.

ok yea i give up i think reflections r hard for me when im not in a convo w someone like i think if i were in a convo w someone i would potentially say actually interesting stuff or mybe im just not in the introspective mood rn yea idk (sorry jack i tried LMAO). ALSO MY CTL (crisis text line) TRAINING JUST STARTED. okok sayonara for now cuz imma use the restroom then go to my gate GOODBYEEE.
