the first thing i did when I came into this earth as a baby was inhale liquid and I think that’s set a precedent for how the rest of my life is going.
"I'm not disabled I have a system!" 24 hours of unexpected system collapse later, i am a quivering jelly of frothing misery puddling sadly on the floor
I don’t want a job I want a cottage in the woods and paint, read and eat berries
A terrible habit i've picked up on is complementing advice.
I love advice, and when its good and relevant and in a format I can understand well, I genuinely appreciate and encourage it.
So in response, i'll be like, "that's a good one" or "ooh i wouldn't have thought of that", etc. and idk where the line when it starts to sound more condescending than grateful is???
It doesn't help that i have this tone of voice that i have been told multiple times sounds 'permanently sarcastic', which is a whole other can of worms...
I guess accepting advice this is just one of those skills i have to put conscious effort into improving whenever the opportunity arises, until one day it'll just become part of my good communication repertoire! Excited for that :)

For a while we had an unofficially adopted flat plant, which lasted weeks until someone poured protein powder on it “for nitrogen”
We always exchange hellos when seeing each other in the corridor or kitchen, even though we essentially live together
need some socialisation? Hang out in the kitchen and wait for a victim
The fact that a medical studyguide appeared one day in the common room and none of us do anything remotely medicine related.
The group all-nighters for assignments - where we’re all a bit loopy bc it’s late, we’re making jokes to cope with the work, and bantering as we desperately figure out content we should have learnt months ago.
Flat sharing doesn’t come without its problems, but i am SO going to miss this part of college.
leaving a three hour lab be like:
what time is it? why is it dark outside? where did the sun go?
I'm starving.
I'm never doing that again (literally has the same lab scheduled the following week).
