Given any other circumstance, the option to stay home and do nothing sounds AMAZING. However, I have not updated since quarantine started, so I figure I owe you all an explanation as to what has been happening.

I finished my junior year of college, which is cool, and my gpa went up too. 

Both of my fish died.

My grandma passed away.

I got my job back, so I work forty hours a week making COVID-19 test kits, I kind of feel heroic (though there are others that have done so much more and are the true heroes)

I could not attend a protest, so I donated and posted on social media.

I lost 25 pounds.

I resolved some conflicts with some important people in my life, (pray it all turns out okay).

I published my first book.

Got addicted to animal crossing, cried, started knitting, upgraded my selfie game, became a co-mom to two kittens, and started marketing for next year's band season. 

My dad told me that the most frustrating years of my life would be when I was nineteen and twenty. When I turned twenty-one this past february, I was so excited, because perhaps the frustration would go away.

Girl, it didnt. 

Also im still single af.

A part of me wants to live in the moment, and the other part of me just wants to get into my future. Sometimes I feel like life is passing me by, and im not appreciating it. When I was in high school, I was excited to get to college, now that im in college, im excited to start my career and see and do absolutely everything. For now however, quarantine has acted like a tick and sucked all the life out of me. I just cant ever sit still, and perhaps I never will.
