A Deep Look Into My Journal Called “Acute Notebook”

Acute- "characterized by sharpness or severity of sudden onset."

A Deep Look Into My Journal Called “Acute Notebook”

Awhile ago, I bought myself a cute little journal. It's a velvety/wine-red little journal with geometrical figures and a maroon almost-gold-looking lettering that reads "Acute Notebook."

Although the name alluded to a geometrical pun, I took the name to an entire different place. Before, I'd had a black journal where I jut down story ideas or your occasional depressing poem.

So I thought hard what would I want to write in this journal exactly? Acute is defined as in the Merriam-Webster dictionary app that I have on my phone: "characterized by sharpness or severity of sudden onset." And with synonyms such as blistering and exquisite, fearsome and frightful, or almighty and vicious, I got the idea to write incongruent thoughts that may or may not be linked to each other. And which fluctuate in the severity or seriousness of each word added in there.

To be fairly honest, this is just me attempting to writing in voices I rarely acknowledge as a writer, but in doing so, I get to find so many new things about me or the world.

Here is an entry dated back to 5/29/2019, titled “Godly." And if I'm not wrong this was just me daydreaming in class about mythical creatures in my Classics class last quarter haha.

“Since this is my little journal, I can say whatever I want without judgement. If you read and disagree — that's fine. Everybody has different idealism. Mine are perharps a bit twisted, but — like I said — they're mine.

So here's what I think:

I am a God. Call it blasphemy. But I am a God.

I am the God of of my world. I am the God of my reality. I see the world through my eyes; therefore, it belongs to me. In my world, I decide what to do. Where to go.

Besides a God. I am a dragon. A calamity.

I am an otherworldly force of nature. I have a crackling fiery core wrapped around my heart. Flames accompany my every moves. and a fire so strong comes out of my mouth. I am a living made of fire."

To be sincere, I am mostly amazed by the way I think. Sometimes I wonder if I should return seeing a therapist or not.

This is me telling myself that I can do anything when things begin to become difficult.

This is me trying to stay resilient.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
