Why is it that when you start eating eggs you also have to suffer a race against time before your brain decides to make eating eggs unbearable

the rise of ‘aesthetics’ as a common way to describe literally every facet of yourself is like the most destructive thing I’ve seen on social media this shit is crazy. it is the most beauty obsessed thing in such a subtle and evil way…. it goes down to the books you read the chicness of your clutter the music you listen to how you decorate your water bottle like literally every single thing you do is scrutinized and defined into egirl or cottagecore or dark academia or vapor wave or baddie or whatever and it just forces you to quantify yourself and criticize every thing you do without break ….. am I sitting down in an effortlessly cute way? Is the mess on my bedside table whimsical? Is my shampoo luxurious and glamorous? And it’s all just a way to sell shit and profit off of your insecurity!!!!!! You watch yourself from an outside perspective, making sure you’re not just beautiful but you fit exactly into whatever box you strive to belong to, and it leaves no room for mistakes!!!! You can’t be embarrassing or cringey or gross or ugly unless it’s in an ironic way that fulfills a meta identity that is also quantifiable. Everybody has a uniform now that they’re trying to fit into. If you take care of plants you’re cottagecore if you play video games and like pastels you’re an e girl if you like sweaters and reading (classic white people books only!!!) then you’re dark academia you’re tailoring every single aspect of yourself and isn’t it tiring????? Isn’t procuring yourself tiring????? I’m going to rip a phone book in half

Back to studying after a long long break

i got back home on the 31st yay!!! happy to be home :) but i’ll probably start missing my family again asap. i bought some new clothes while i was in turkey (everything’s from pull and bear; it’s my favorite european store!!) also reread a childhood favorite book of mine: and then there were none. did anyone else go through an agatha christie phase/addiction in middle school ??

also!!! got my ap scores back (ap language + world history) and got 5′s on both??? (for non-us folk, that’s the highest score you can get) i feel over the moon considering i got a 2 last year on ap gov :) excited to save some money in college now

i was on a college visit during august 5+6 so i thought i’d include the prompts for those days as well!

5th august - what is your ultimate summertime song?

oh definitely anything by the band summer salt!! especially their song heart and my car :)

6th august - what is your favorite summertime movie?

la la land

7th august - do you read a lot in the summer?

happy to say that this year: YES! somehow i got back into the groove of reading and i’m trying to do it every day. since june, i’ve read the road less traveled, the girls (by emma cline), (i attempted) a portrait of the artist as a young man, and how the garcia girls lost their accent. currently about to start a couple of novels by ian mcewan! most of this is prep for my ap lit class haha :)
