  (thank you Dr.Kyburz for the cool imbedding trick) I decided to watch The Hunting Ground for my documentary project because it is still very relevant in society, and in my life since I am a female on campus. Also recently, IU Bloomington and other colleges are still very recently covering up reports of sexual assault, in order to protect their fraternities, which made me ultimately choose this documentary to see how nothing has changed.  I think one scene that particularly got to me was when the victims of on-campus sexual assault told their stories about when they had to tell their parents what happened. Everyone that told their story was extremely emotional and they felt so sorrowful for something that was never their fault. Just the idea of all these young women and men reluctantly telling their parents that they got violated in the most horrible way possible is heartbreaking, so to know that their colleges dismissed them and made them feel at fault makes me so angry. To watch the

hello everyone (i think literally no one reads my blogs lol but its okay!!) I have decided to get my daily blogpost out of the way because I did not do one last week. I believe my last blog post was about me being happy and optimistic and I am no longer in that mindset ;-; school has been absolutely crazy. I feel like i'm drowning in writing assignments and labs, etc. If i'm not at school or doing schoolwork then i'm at work. Lately i've been working closing shift so i get out at 10:00 or later which absolutely sucks. I feel like I barely have time to sleep eat or breathe and I don't know what to do to fix it. My room is always a mess, and if you have talked to me a few months before, my room would have never been caught messy.  anyway sorry for the pretty uneventful, (and negative!) blog post this week. however I think im going to chicago this weekend with some friends which sounds nice :) so theres at least one silver lining to all this chaos. anyways, ill see you

  Since my blog has been just a lot of negative thoughts lately, I have decided to change it up this week with some things I enjoy in my life :) also pretty happy with the name of this post as it is not only the name of my favorite Paramore song, but I also found it very fitting.  one positive thing is the grade I got on my microtheme !! I got an 87% which is not too bad, but I mainly enjoyed the feedback I got. I really appreciate when teachers give feedback because it allows me to correct and better myself because I know what I can improve on. Another thing is now that I have been working and going to college for a few weeks, I am starting to get the hang of my schedule (knock on wood!!). I am still very busy with plenty to do but atleast I have something to do. another thing I am grateful for is my dog, photo included above, because after a long grueling shift at work, or a hectic day at school I can come home to her and wind down. She hasn't always been easy to deal with, but i

 honestly something that has been really stressing me out lately is social media. in a way, it is like constant competition with peers and the rest of society. i know that social media is an inaccurate portrayal of someone's real life, but sometimes when i'm scrolling through Instagram or Tik Tok I feel like i'm not doing enough in my life. Like I don't dress trendy enough, or do trendy things. It makes my anxiety skyrocket through the rough, so one would think that I would delete my socials right? Instead I become attached to it and scroll mindless through my social media for hours. I use it as a distraction from my actual thoughts becauses sometimes existing can be debilitating.  sometimes I see these "influencers" and get so jealous because they make money simply off social media. A majority of influences have dropped out of school and make money through sponsorships and brand deals. So when they post themselves working out and eating out for every meal, an

I didn't really know what to write about this week, so i just decided to fawn over my love for music. I spent about 80 percent of my day listening to music. Ironically enough though at this very moment I am only able to listen to music in my right ear. I recently got an ear piercing in my left ear, and I accidentally slept on it and it started bleeding profusely..... so currently I have wrapped it in gauze and medical tape and I'm praying that the bleeding stops on its own. So to cope with the fact that I can't use both headphones and get the premium listening experience, I'm writing about my love for music.  in my opinion, there is nothing quite better than a nice playlist. for me, making playlists and designing the covers for it is one of the most therapeutic things possible. it's like when people would make mixtapes or cds and then hand make a little cover for it. there is not a single time at school (besides in class obviously), where i'm not listening to mu

  ever since i've started college, it's been rough trying to find enough time for me. I have also started a new job, part-time thankfully. I tuesdays and thursdays I go to school from 7 am to 1 pm, come home change then usually go to work until 9. pretty rough. I do love earning my own money, it makes me feel proud in a way. I get tempted to buy so much junk i don't need, when in reality I have college payments and future car payments to make :(. I am treating myself to a brand new piercing this weekend!! wooo I am getting an industrial piercing, which is just a cool piercing for your ear. I personally love the way piercings and tattoos look as they are an external form of self-expression and you can really tell alot about a person based on how they express themselves on the outside. I just wish that things like piercings and tattoos weren't considered "taboo" in society, and that they could be accepted for what they are. I remember taking a medical class a ye
