My aunts went to Ivies and they make a lot of money. Correlation or causation? I want to test. They wont let me in, though. So, there’s that. I’m not mad. I am being serious. I'm not mad. I’m not mad I took Science of Food because I didn’t understand what a no-go that is in the world of "GPA science." I’m not mad I don’t own a nonprofit (secretly profit). I’m hood as fuck so nothing makes me feel bad about myself. People just sit around listening to unreleased music. And the

It seems like, no matter how hard I manifest, the universe is not letting me get out of all of this summer homework. Literal piles. Piles and piles. Piles of work. I’m so scared. The fear has overtaken my body and it hurts to sleep at night. .... I have decided what my problem is with all of the big LA diners. I heard someone talking about them online, and what they said is the reason that Mels and Swingers and whatever suck is that these are just cosplay diners and Los Angel

peachesinthemorning tried to claim in some shitty, half-deep poetry that the universe is “cream” when you take the average of all of the colors hues in existance. Not too sure about that one, buddy. It’s brown. Everyone knows that when you mix all of the colors you get brown. And if it’s not brown it’s probably black, because there is an overwhelming amount of dark sky compared to “planet.” Brown is the color of shit. I wonder if that holds meaning too. Shit: the stuff that c

Everyone is bullying Brittany Howard online. I’m not even going to share my opinions on the situation. I’m just going to recount what I am seeing. The official Alabama Shakes TikTok account is posting videos of their new single. All of the lyrics are about how everyone is being forced into working-class jobs. Freedom freedom blah blah blah. People are mad because, ever since her music got big, she doesn’t have to work that hard, and she’s preaching about a lifestyle she hasn

I was a perpetrator of homophobia today. As people know, I am usually the largest ally and an extreme friend of the community. You could argue I am in it, as I was called a lesbian throughout middle school. I am kidding! They called me asexual cause nobody wanted to tap dat. They also called me KFC because my hair was greasy. I am so happy I am not in middle school anymore. I got sidetracked with playing the victim. I did homophobia today. I got my hair dyed blonde at the pl

I went out this morning to get more Diet Cokes because I want them to be cold by the time I get home tonight. I love Diet Coke. That is my favorite drink. The best Diet Coke I have ever had was after seven weeks at sleep-away camp in 2024. I wanted to go home the whole summer. I even hijacked my MP3 player to access the internet, so I could email my parents about letting me leave. It was powerful. Anyways, the first day I got back, I looked in the fridge to find a motherloa

I’m gearing up to take another ACT tomorrow. At this point, I have zero expectations. I am starting to think I am just stupid or something. Everyone I have ever spoken to has a 35. I just don’t get it. What am I doing wrong? Why can’t I get a 35? Am I not studying hard enough? Does God not love me? I just want a high score because the rest of my application is bullcrap and I need something that looks good. I should have locked in like 10 years ago. The day I was born, someone

I keep having this weird daydream where I am standing outside, and then I begin floating uncontrollably in the air. At first, the people around me freak out and try to catch me. But I’m too high to reach, so I just keep floating. After a few minutes, I can see every building below me. Then, even those become specks. Eventually, I am in space. Somehow I am able to survive without oxygen. I am also in a sort of drugged-out state that keeps me from being panicked about how irrev

I’m not super happy right now because my parents just blew up at me. They claim I haven’t been working hard enough this summer. The gist of it is that I barely get scheduled for shifts at my job and I have been avoiding eye contact with all of my unfinished college essays What even is “working hard”? I have been working hard on my hobbies. Does that count? I can’t tell them that, though, because then they will know there are things I like spending time on. That is a slippery

When you are 17 years old, you are the most systematically impeded from becoming fat as fuk and obese. My reasoning is as follows: the payment methods we are given as young adults are just not viable in the real world. No mall parking lot is accepting my Greenlight card that my dad puts 20 dollars on every week through the Greenlight app. This means that every fucking time I try to go to the Grove (or any large establishment) I have to find street parking 30 miles away. All o

Today was pretty shitty. When I woke up (at 11:30am btw), I was immediately sobered by the realization that I had redownloaded Instagram the night prior. I have no willpower. They design the sites to be addictive so they can “make money off my attention.” I am not sure what money there is to be made from me watching clips of The Adam Friedland Show for three hours. But I’m a pawn, and Mark Zuckerberg is my master. That is how it works. After that, I went on a long hike. I k

I have started is listening to Love Island kind of as a background hum while I do other things in the living room. My sister watches it every day, plopped on the couch, so I am often caught in the crossfire. I don't know any of the characters names but I am kind of invested. Instead of thinking “God, this show is for losers and is made up of whores (male and female alike),” I check myself. Maybe I’m just as susceptible to trashy entertainment as everyone else. It's not a crim

I am sitting here, bored out of my mind, in my house. In about an hour, I have to get up to put on my uniform for my first shift at the Hollywood Bowl. I am going to be an usher. I technically nepo’d my way into this low-ranking position because my dad is friends with the head of the LA Phil. Everybody wants and is jealous of this life I lead. The requirements for the uniform are somewhat unclear to me. I forgot to ask during my orientation. I know that black pants are mandat
