I have an extension cord with three plugs. I have three devices that I need to charge. However, I can only use two at a time because Apple adapters are fat. Update: I can now use all three because I received a shiny new iPad Pro 13 inches or whatever because I do MITWE (wind ensemble) and we read sheet music on it. Life is good. Last week I said it should be fine to leave rice in my rice cooker. I opened it today after a couple days. There were spots of mold. I washed that bad boy very rigorou...

So far, I have sustained two cuts. They are both on my left hand. They are both a result of being lazy and not using a cutting board. I have obviously not learned my lesson because there are now two cuts, and not just one. I was even cutting the same vegetable on two different occasions. To be fair, the second cut was much less substantial than the first because I was trying to be more careful about not cutting myself, but not careful enough to use a cutting board apparently. I still will not us...

I'm so confused. I thought I posted last week, but I guess I didn't? My last post was on the 4th, right? That's basically two weeks away. Did I forget to update? Oopsie. I told myself I was going to keep at it, and I can't believe I'm failing to do that already. Wait. I'm so confused. Classes started last week. (I can't believe that it's only been a week!) This is the first real day of classes. Oh wait. The time stamp on this is from when I started the blog. Oopsie :3. Okay, anyways let's get ...

Well, it's more like a half-week. Classes start on Wednesday, which means that there are two days of the week where there is absolutely nothing for me to do. Well, there are things to do, certainly, because Rush is this week, but I've decided that I'm too tired to even go to a single frat event. Yes, the free lobster and steak dinner is nice, but I just don't want to talk to people right now. I want to stay in MacGregor House and do random, brainless shit in the entry lounge. I suppose this is m...

Every time I try to type in this website on my computer (app.standardnotes.com is where the blogs get written), the first thing that it autofills to is apply.commonapp.com. It's a very unpleasant experience. Upon further examination, I have decided that I should just put all of Orientation into a blog post because I again feel bad for those of you who subscribe to this who get notified everyday. A blog post should be a special occasion, like the end of Orientation, which is a good special occa...

I've decided to write in the mornings instead, because I really am a morning blogging person, as I've mentioned before sometime. Regardless, to keep up with my 100 days of writing streak, I'm seated here at 2am writing. I'll try to dump all the events that I've done today and I'll add some more in the morning. We get 14 free meals at the dining halls, but so far I've used none of them. There are too many events with food, so I've never had the chance to. This is a potential problem because I...

Honestly, I should start writing these the moment a flash of inspiration comes to me. I remember having so many great ideas to write about, but none of them are coming to me now at the end of the night. It's not terribly late but I'm quite tired from everything that happened in the day. We landed in Boston and made our way over. We left our stuff in my dorm after I checked in and we headed straight to Hmart for lunch. I got some too-salty ramen. Then, we walked to the big Target that was like 2 ...

Well actually, I'm currently on a plane to Atlanta, but my final destination is Boston. At the beginning of the day, I was quite positive that we would have no trouble at all fitting everything into our bags. I think what ended up happening was me going, "I think I can add one more thing in," and now we have backpacks that look like they're about to burst open. Either way, we (by that I mean my parents and I) made it through TSA fine and everything, and we're on the plane safe and sound. I'd l...

I really do hate packing. If I have the choice to, and I probably will never have the liberty to do this, I would just stuff everything I have into a bunch of bags and call that packing. I have a hoarding problem. I grow sentimentally attached to everything. I probably do need a Marie Kondo in my life to ask me if each item brings me joy and to throw away everything that doesn't bring me true happiness. Well, I'm not that extreme. I have a hard time procuring the clothes in the first place, so...

This coming semester, I will be electing to not take part of a meal plan and will therefore be cooking all of my meals. Let's see how that goes. I will also be posting some sort of follow up to this once the school year starts to get up and rolling to see how my cooking journey works out. Hopefully, I will not devolve into eating frozen meals and instant ramen. Honestly, even if I did so, that would still be saving me money compared to purchasing a dining plan, and it might also be healthier. ...

First of all, I'd like to announce that my sleep schedule is fucked. It's not really as bad as some people's during the summer, but it's bad in my book. Like, I wake up at 10, which is super late in my book, and that means I go to sleep past 1, which is super late in my book. Thankfully, my flight to Boston is going to be overnight, which means I'll be getting near zero sleep that night and that should serve as a good reset to my circadian rhythm. Anyways, I was up last night watching Vocaloid...

As of writing this sentence, it has been 2 days since I have flown from Boston back to my home state. For the last six weeks, I was at a math summer camp named PROMYS. If you look at their front page, you might be able to pick me out from the hundred or so people on the group photo. This marks the third year that I've been at PROMYS. This program has altered the path of my life, and I am infinitely grateful for its existence and for my acceptance. I am also incredibly thankful towards all the pe...

I've been listening to Airhead on repeat ever since I found it a couple days ago. I've recently uploaded a bunch of photos to the cloud, and managed to create enough space to redownload Project Sekai: Colorful Stage! It's a fun rhythm game by Sega, who owns Sonic and also Vocaloid (you might know Hatsune Miku). Incidentally, this makes Sonic and Hatsune Miku siblings, or so I'm told. Anyways, Project Sekai is my rhythm game of choice because I genuinely like the songs, which consists of Vocaloid...

I have the interesting power of waking up right as a drop of blood from my nose forms and being entirely lucid while it falls across my cheek. Sometimes, I am successful in catching that droplet before it touches my pillow. Today was one of those days. It always takes me a couple of seconds to register that the little wet streak is blood. I opened my eyes this morning to see blood over the back of my hands, along with an unfortunate stain on my shirt sleeve. I checked my pillow and the surround...

I don't usually check the MIT 2027 discord server, but there was an @everyone ping, so I naturally checked it. I honestly can't believe that they @everyone for a little ad for the application to become a blogger for MIT Admissions, but I should thank them because now I know about the opportunity. To be clear: I don't blog. I don't read blogs. I had no strong desire to blog before I read that message. But when I did, I had one of my "fuck it, I'm down" moments, and I set my mind on pursuing thi...
