family has been okay, my parents seem really mad/disappointed with me lately. i think it has to do with grades, plus i told them i’m quitting my job. but i dunno, it sucks .__. usually they let me do my own thing and they give me advice and what not, but recently it feels like they’re super disappointed with me. don’t know how to feel about it. it just sucks bleh

new friends at scu are cool; i dunno i never feel like i fit in with any particular group, so i’m just down to hang out with whoever. a lot of people at scu have been kind of annoying me throughout the first quarter, but i guess i kinda have high expectations for people and when they slip up just a bit i feel like they wont be good friends. that’s my bad, but i don’t think this will ever really change. at least not any time soon.

old friends..winter break wasn’t at all what i had imagined. i always think that my breaks (winter/spring/summer) are gonna be crazy and i’ll be doing tons of fun stuff with all of my friends but those plans never pan out. it seems like a lot of my high school friends won’t be in my life down the road. this isn’t a bad thing, people just drift once they meet other people and do other things. i have a few friends, though, who i still hang out with and talk to and i’m glad i have them in my life

and thank you for caring! i imagine myself succeeding as i grow older, but i just don’t know to what extent. i’m always hoping that i can do something to change the world, but realistically it just seems so impractical. but as long as i work hard and take initiative i know that i have the potential to do great things. i’m just missing something right now..and i dunno what it is. ah!

thanks for the question!
