Hi, I apologise for not being active almost at all. Even though the holidays just ended, I feel even more exhausted to post anything to social media compared to how I was feeling during the last four months of 2018. I barely post any actual posts to Instagram either (but I am being otherwise active), and all the other social media apps I've had to delete, due to my phone having no space for them. If I'm being honest, I probably wouldn't use Instagram either , if it wasn't the only way to contact most of my internet friends (or for them to contact me) or some of my friends irl.
The point is, I feel as if I have too much going on right now and my school success/my body/my mind won't benefit if I try to do everything like I used to. I need to organise my life, yeah, but not right now.
That's it for now. On a happier note, I had a really fun time today spending time with a couple of friends from school! We went through a local escape room, which was really fun, and after that we played many Just Dances and a couple of games with Wii Party for about five hours. I also went and got McDonalds for me and my siblings before I got home, so we could eat something before midnight and sleep.
Well, with this, have a (belated) happy new year 2019! I'll do my best to upload more content later on in the year, and hopefully get to become an exchange student for Autumn 2019 - Spring 2020. :)

I apologize I couldn't tell this earlier, and I have no idea if anyone from the instagram group told everyone else, but you can give your gift today already but the final deadline is tomorrow, December 25th!
This is due to a couple people, including myself, not having the gift finished yet.
Thank you for understanding!

Update: I got accepted to become an exchange student!

@romeIIe @salenaRD @Hannahbanana2604 @Miss_Masquerade @ephemeralemerald27 @CrystalConstellation So sorry for my late reply, but thank you all so much! <3 There is still a chance for them to call off my participation, but hopefully I'll get everything done before that happens. I still haven't really sat down and thought about this and become a nervous wreck, but I'm sure that'll happen at least during the end of July, haha ^^;

Is being an atheist really that bad? Tell me.

@galacticath Again, no problem! I’m glad you’ve been wanting to do research, I think this is a really important topic that everyone should spend time researching. If I can remember any other clean-mouthed skeptic channels, I’ll be sure to let you know about them; but unfortunately, they’re not particularly easy to come by, so you may need to settle for ones that just swear less than average if you want to cover a fuller range of opinions

@Thia-Holimon Thank you! I’ve been wanting to do my own research for so long but I’ve had no idea where to start. I really appreciate it!
Thia-Holimon
@galacticath No problem! It’s really common to make that mistake, and while it irks me to no end, I don’t blame you. I definitely recommend going out and doing some research, some YouTube channels I recommend are Paulogia, Holy Koolaid, and Genetically Modified Skeptic. If memory serves, they’re pretty clean channels, language-wise, and they aren’t aggressive towards believers the way that channels like Professor Stick can be. (Although Prof. Stick is still a pretty good content creator, he was one of the first skeptic YouTubers I ever stumbled across)

Did you know that there is a town in Minnesota called Finland? It has a lot of cultural similarities with the country Finland, thanks to most of the early settlers being Finns. And while as a Finn I would be interested in visiting the place, I'm certain I would still experience culture shock.
(Fun fact: The town Finland is about 122 years old, while Finland as an independent nation is only about 101 years old)

Update: The organization called me today and I was such a nervous wreck at school because of it (I couldn't call back while I was there) so I called them at home. I was so sure I had done something wrong with the application, and it turns out it did (which was the system's fault, since it only gave me two wrong options). Thankfully they just needed confirming and now they are setting up an interview with me for the program.
(Huge props to my irl friends calming me down while I laughed like a maniac at school :'D)

I just send my application for the exchange student program and I feel like my heart is almost beating out of my chest.
Now to wait a couple of weeks to see if they accept it. Little by little, this is becoming more and more real, yet I still can't believe I'm actually going to be able to do this.
Sikke_anki
@CrystalConstellation it is. I already answered above and explained a bit more, but hopefully to the US!

@lilmissbeaniechild XD We'll see, I think my (possible) host family lives near Lake Erie, at least according to my dad. I don't want to raise my hopes up too high, since there is a possibility that I won't get accepted.
