A Little Life Update From Me

I’ve been meaning to write a post for my blog for a few weeks now, but it seems like the more time passed, the less I was willing to actually write anything. It doesn’t help that my blog experienced an existential crisis where I didn’t know what I was going to do with it. I felt like an oversharer at times and the sort of series I had going on were not exciting anymore, feeling more like chores than fun.

I don’t want to abandon blogging because I enjoy it when I’m not cringing at myself for saying this or doing that or changing its design and layout for the 20th time this week. I didn’t want to trend (that was messing with my head) and I didn’t want people discussing my posts on social media sites where they insult my intelligence and I have no control over the link being shared there. Not that I’d want to control what is done with links on the open web, but at the time when that happened, I wished I could.

More so than ever: I didn’t know what to write about! I didn’t want to write reviews nor political takes because I felt mine were either off or mostly sensationalist in nature. So it seems like my blog’s existential crisis was fueled by my own.

Next to my lack of inspiration, I’ve been super busy with exams these past few weeks. It’s not over yet since I have three more exams left for the end of this month. But since I had the desire to write again, well, here I am; back to talk about the mundane. Maybe that’s what I will blog about: my life without giving away any identifying information.

My switch to the social sciences has been going great. To my past self: Don’t start in the summer semester because there are too few people and they practice social distancing out of habit just like you. It’s been really hard making friends and I’ve made none, really. At least nothing that lasted longer than a lecture lol. Besides the social aspects of this change, I’ve been really satisfied with what I’m learning and I can see myself working in this field.

So yeah, that’s all from me for now!
