Yep this gif is pretty self-explanatory. This semester has had some good moments but a lot of the times I’ve just been feeling frustrated. Especially right now when I feel like everything is piling up and there are so many little deadlines. I’ve just never had good experiences when it came to managing my time. I knew the work was going to be harder so I can’t really say I was caught off guard. And even though the semester is almost over I can’t really sum it all up yet because there’s still so much left to do. So yeah I’ll just be feeling like Jon Stewart in this gif until the semester’s over.

Among the comfortable aspects of college that have stayed the same for me are the more challenging obstacles that I’ve had to overcome. I’ve started to really appreciate the things that have stayed the same: the large number of students, the diversity & I still have the comfort of living at home. But there are also things that have made me step out of my comfort zone. In high school, everyone knows why you’re there. You have to be there. If you cant handle high school, what can you handle? Once I started college, I was forced to ask myself questions that I’ve been trying to put off because of how scary the future seems. What’s the next step? Is what I’m doing now necessary to achieve my ultimate goal? What IS my ultimate goal? It has forced me to grow up and try to understand what truly matters in my life.

This is a little late but hey, my name’s Melessa I’m 18 years old and I was born in Queens, which brings me to the first picture.  I’ve used the A train countless times and I’ve encountered a wide variety of people on the subway, some more eccentric than I would like. But that’s all a part of living in New York, as anyone reading this post will know. I love riding roller coasters and when I found this second picture on the internet I could feel a little of the anticipation you get when you’re on a roller coaster about to go down that first hill. The third picture is a picture taken at Disney world, where I had some of the best moments of my childhood. There are a lot of things I still do that are childish and immature but I don’t think people should take themselves too seriously all the time. The next picture is from one of my favorite shows Breaking Bad, everyone should watch this show. The fifth picture is taken in England, where I’ve always wanted to visit. I’m actually planning a trip there for next summer. Next is a picture of a cup of tea. In my experience, a good cup of tea can fix anything and up to this day, if I go to my grandmother’s house after a bad day the first thing she does is start making a cup of tea. The last picture was taken graduation day with most of the kids from my major, Industrial Design. I saw this group of people A LOT for the past two years and some of my closest friends are in this picture.
