Part Nine: Adulting yet again

Week 9 is the start of Spring Break and a girl is happy! I'm not doing much to celebrate it like going anywhere extravagant but I'm just happy to be home and away from school work. I can finally relax to actually work on my side projects and listen to Frank Ocean all week. Besides getting to do that I have also been thrusted into adulthood again.

I have to find a job for the summer to pay the difference of my housing.

Question... why does college housing cost so much? Why? Someone... please... explain because I am distraught.

The problem with finding a job is that during my teenage years when I could have been working I was heavily involved in school extra curriculars and had no time what's so ever. A lot of these companies want people with work experience. I understand that but not everyone is going to have experience and half of the people on these jobs that do technically have the experience don't 100% know how to do the job accurately. You know if you're a doctor and all that, then that is another case but for regular jobs that just need someone who is dependable and hardworking it shouldn't make a difference if they have experience or not. JUST TEACH US... PLEASE.


So the first day I started my Spring break which was a Wednesday because what is class? Just kidding... go to class guys but really my classes got canceled. Anyway, I spent that whole entire day driving from two locations for two interviews. I was stuck in traffic basically the entire day as well. And while in the process of interviewing I noticed something. Interviewing has a really degrading feeling to it. It's like your literally begging someone to see how worthy and amazing you are and to accept you. And even when you have the credentials, half of the time it's all gets based off of things about you that are irrelevant to the job position.

It's so real weird shit guys.

I was so tired by the end of the day.

But after that the rest of the week lightened up. I spent time with my family on Easter which was great. I ate lots of mac and cheese, dressing, and collard greens because it's get thick season so you know. And as bothering as it was to get bombarded with questions from family members about boyfriends and if I was sexually active or not wasn't so bad either. Second question though... why do family members ask if your sexually active or not as if you are ever really going to answer that question or as if they really want to know that answer. Like come on girl.

Like honestly... WE WILL NEVER ANSWER THAT QUESTION

Now I have the house to myself and I just been vibing out. Working on projects gallore.


I am currently in the process of writing a short film to film with my friends in the summer and it has been really time consuming. I'm already at twenty-one pages and I still feel like I haven't even scratched the surface of the entire film plot. Besides that I am super excited. Getting to eventually see my works on a bugger display is what keeps me going. The weather as well is finally cooperating because before spring was definitely not messing with us. However things as always by the graces of our dear lord... turn around.

Week 9 going into week 10 is a great breeze guys.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
