Been feeling a bit burned out from having an unhealthy sleeping schedule, and from recent college stress which had luckily resolved itself so that I’ll be going to where I wanted to be in September; as well as from trying to cope with that stress with plugging into various media stuff like gaming on various consoles (ahhh the life of an unemployed student who lives in a tourist town that need people with commitment and not going to school in a month and a half).

So feeling that spotty feeling of getting easily distracted and easily bored with almost everything. I’m in the practice of getting back to reading for pleasure, which I’m starting with The Mists of Avalon, and reducing my time online (which would also mean stemming my time on RP-ing in my other account), and see if I could get back into writing more for myself and also reading for myself.

Also: Orientation is this friday, so me and my family will be heading to SC on Thursday to prep for that. Whooo 5 hours of driving.

speaking of college, in my current state of mind, Squall is probably the most relatable in that sense.

Recently graduated.

Expecting exciting, stable career.

Ends up in an unsteady start-up.

Realizes he can’t quit.

And all the adults are unhelpful. And realizes that being independent is a lie and so he lies in bed saddled with the knowledge that he can’t make it alone- that people helped to where he is now, and that him without people helping him is the worst situation ever.

We were all Squall, at some point.
