This morning I woke up around 9 am and a bizarre thing happened yesterday. One of my roommates came super late last night and one of the guys on our floor came in with her, and then pretended to use his electric razor on my third roommate's hair when she was sleeping, to scare her into thinking that he was going to shave her hair off. I was half asleep at this time so I thought this morning when I woke up that I had just dreamt that this happened, not that it actually did until I went out in the hallway to fill my water bottle, and then I saw the guy. He saw me and started laughing and asked if my third roommate was okay, which made me realize that I did not indeed dream this and that he actually almost shaved off her hair. I thought to myself at the moment that if someone did that to me I would probably never forgive them. After that, I went to BPlate to have breakfast and a catch-up session with my big Chanel, which was always fun as always. I updated her on my life and she did on hers, and I just genuinely really love talking to her. I feel as if she really understands me, and we have a very similar outlook on life, so it helps to know that she understands what I go through. Having breakfast with her was a great start to my day, and I cannot wait to see how the rest of the day goes as tonight is my sorority's formal.

This morning I woke up at 9:15 to attend my 10 am discussion. I was very tired this morning but decided to try and actually wear a put-together outfit today because I feel as though I have been slacking in that department lately. Just like when you have a messy room, I believe that if you feel you do not look your best, it makes you not feel your best. I went to my class and was more focused than usual in there. After class, I went to meet Caroline at B-plate for some lunch. The lunch there today was so good, with pasta salad and really good flatbread pizza. Following this, I went and printed my homework for my Atmospheric Oceanic Sciences class at the study, and worked on it in my lounge. I was actually able to understand and complete the homework fairly quickly, which was nice because lately I have been feeling behind in my classes. For the rest of the day, I plan on utilizing the fact that we have no events to do some more schoolwork and then really get my parts down for mock trial. I also plan on going to the gym and hitting legs, and am excited to go because I have been slacking fitness wise since pledging started. I hope to use this day as a catch-up day to get my life together, and use it as fuel for the remainder of this week. I am very excited to make it to this weekend, as I know getting through Mock Trial is a major milestone in the pledging process.

This morning by a pure miracle I woke. I thought I had work today at 9 am I was so wrong I had work at 8 am and it was already 7:25 so I was so late. I went to sleep pretty early yesterday so getting up today was not bad but I just had no idea that I had to clock in at 8 am. I am usually scheduled for 9 am so I think I was just confused. I got ready in such a hurry to get to work. I was 8 minutes late but I am not an important person at work so it was fine. I worked five hours today so I am so exhausted it is so hard for me to stay productive because all I want to do is sleep. It was also my boss's birthday so they made food so I had lunch there and after work, I decided that I was going to miss class and I did and now I am at my dorm I took a nap. Honestly, I do not deserve a nap I have so much work to do. I just feel annoyed because it is a never-ending cycle that I have to do. I was put on probation last night and honestly, I deserve it I have not been doing good in the pledge process nor in school work. My motivation is at its lowest and I do not know how to get it back up back because no matter how hard I try it is not good enough. Anyways I ordered Wingstop last night for my roommate and I which was nice. I also go to see my friend she came to my room and we talked for an hour. I have not done that in a while so it felt nice. Tonight Aya, Abby, and I are going to get dumplings so I am excited to hang out with them and not eat dining hall food.

Today has been interesting so far. I got a good night's sleep last night which was exciting. I woke up rejuvenated. I then walked to Kerckhoff patio to meet with Peter for an interview. I was excited because I heard a lot of good things about Peter. All the good things were true, I had a great conversation with him. We talked a lot about vegetables lol. Once it ended I went to Ackerman to get food, and as I got in line for Veggie Grill super excited to eat the delicious Mondo Nachos I realized my wallet was…. gone? I dumped everything out of my backpack and it just wasn’t there. I retraced my steps, literally every single step and nothing. I was sitting on the bench outside Wooden crying when I saw one of my best friends pass by. She walked with me to look and at that point it was done for. I saw my other two best friends on BruinWalk and they told me to cancel my debit card and check the front desks. I posted about my wallet on YikYak and someone responded not too long ago and I think I will have it back soon. I was in shambles but I had a feeling it would be turned in so that’s a relief. I truly believe I have a sixth sense. Or maybe just good instincts. Today is such a pretty day. I went to eat at De Neve with my bestie who found me on the bench. Normally the food is wack but there was this chile thing with arroz mexicana and beans and it was so fire. I also saw Jonalyn there and she joined us and it was fun. I went to my friend's room and she gave me my birthday gift. Honestly in tears. Everything she gave me was so thoughtful and specific. It made me feel so special and valued. For example, she got me dangly earrings because once I said how I like that they move with my hair. She got me a journal because I said I like doing my Daily Journals. She got me fun socks that are extra special because I love fun socks and they are also the perfect height for my docs. So, so sweet. Her card also had me in tears. Anyways, I am starting to feel like myself again. I think I am finally going to report the incident that I didn’t have the bravery to do before. I feel very happy today, despite being very behind in work. I am in my friends room and the sun is shining and the wind is blowing and I don’t have to be in the presence of my evil roommate. Slay.

I have reached the point where every day is just starting to feel the same. Like I wake up, go to class, eat if I am lucky, and then the rest of my day is usually dedicated to Kappa Alpha Pi. Either meetings or projects or just assignments. I'm not complaining, though, because I feel like this quarter was good to many in many ways. Don't get me wrong, this was probably one of my most tress full quarters, and I sometimes felt like jumping off a…. I'm giving up, but I have yet to, and for that, I'm kind of proud. Anyways back to life, I feel like the past few weeks, I have simply been existing rather than living. I have been feeling like this because I know that this year is coming to an end, and I'm just not very excited about that. This is very weird for me because I love summer, and a good break from school is always appreciated, but going home for summer as a college student feels different. Like I get to go home, which is nice because I can see my hometown friends, but that also means I won't be able to see all of the new people I have met. Like I'm going to go from seeing the same people 24/7 to not seeing them for three months. Kinda weird, man. I also won't see my boyfriend for three months so that should be fun. Not. So ya, that's how I'm feeling. I want this quarter to end, but at the same time, I don't want it to be over because I'm going to miss my life at UCLA.

This morning, I woke up pretty late. I got out of bed at 9:30, and I got ready pretty slowly. I got to wear my crotchet hat today, which made me happy. After I got ready, I started to walk to Anderson. There, I ate lunch with my friend, Julia, and practiced my speeches for mock trial a lot. I also worked on my neuroscience paper, which is due Saturday. I did not have any interviews today, so I was able to focus on my schoolwork as well as mock trial. I think that one of my speeches is fairly stable, but the other one is still shaky. After this, I made my way to my stats lecture. The lecture was very slow, as per usual, and I did not enjoy it. I was planning on getting dinner right after my lecture, so I went to rendezvous west. However, after getting my food, I realized I lost my hat. I was so sad immediately, as I love that hat so much. I threw away my food immediately and ran all the way back to Kaplan hall. I texted my big on the way, but my phone died right after. I tearfully entered my lecture hall, but there was another lecture going on. I thankfully found my hat, but I was dinner-less. I picked up a sandwich and headed back to my dorm. It was a rough day for me. I have a date party tonight, and I am taking my friend Ella. I hope that it cheers me up a bit!

Today I slept very little because I was up for the majority of the night finishing up my schoolwork. I woke up at around 10am to work on my assignments and mock trial notes. After a couple of hours doing work, I then began getting ready for my chemistry lab. Luckily, the lab was quite short today and I got to leave early. This was really nice because it gave me extra time to work and a little bit of time to even nap. That nap was really needed and I think it is the only thing keeping me awake at the moment. After my class and my nap, I went to work on the mock trial with some of my triads. I then went to get dinner with one of my pledge brothers. We got Rende and it was pretty good. I ordered the burrito bowl and extra lettuce. It has been forever since I’ve eaten a burrito bowl and I found it quite delicious. Following that dinner, I got boba from a friend. With both my burrito bowl and boba in hand, I headed to a meeting to review the mock trial with my pledge brothers. My week seems to be dominated by mock trial work now that I think about it. I hope that we all end up performing well. I think I will stay up late again tonight to do work simply because I’ve been putting off my work for a while. I know that because of tiring today was, I will sleep very well.

Today has been quite the busy day, I woke up early to get bplate breakfast with my roommates, after that I went to my microeconomics class. Today's lecture was pretty confusing because we were talking about rational choice and some other public affairs topics in the middle of an economics course. It was also kinda wack to walk into a lecture hall holding a squash that looked like a minion, definitely got some weird looks. I then proceeded to walk back to campus, walking past several actives who commented on my squash. I got lunch at bplate with some of my friends who I hadnt seen in forever because of pledging. After lunch I went back to my dorm for a few more minutes to study for my classes and write some emails. I then had an interview with Hanna outside of Sproul which was really fun. After the interview I went to my section about econ where they gave us back our midterms. It was not fun to look over all the questions that I did wrong, but I tried to work through everything and figure out what i did wrong. After section, I went to Korra's to work on our cross for Mock Trial next we got Rende and then all of us met up at the lounge of one of our pledge brothers to try and do a run through of mock trial. After this I will work on an internship application and do some other work.

I woke up this morning and went to campus around noon to do the retake of my Public Affairs 60. I do not think I did well on it, but I think Kappa Alpha Pi has taught me to keep it pushing even after my failures. I stayed on campus for a while. Although I have been on this campus all year, I feel like I have yet to see so many different parts of campus. I roamed around North Campus for a while before eventually deciding to head back to my dorm. On my way, I stopped by Rende right before closing and got a burrito - I do not usually eat Rende West, but I was particularly hungry.
Lately, I have been listening to the “PLAYBOY” album by Tory Lanez. I know, I know - he is a problematic individual with horrible behavioral patterns, but that album specifically hits on such a different level. The same goes with “Chixtape 5” - that is an album that will remain timeless. Although Tory has a catchy singing voice, his features definitely carried that album. This man really got T-Pain, Snoop Dogg, Ashanti, Trey Songz, Ludacris and Mario on the same album - the features list is probably one of the best of any R&B album. I think his album “The New Toronto 3” was such a let down. I think he really tried to go a new way with his music, but while his rap is not the worst, he will always be better at R&B. He only had two features and they were both mid. The only song I thought was memorable was his song “Adidas” because I love songs that speak about rough upbringings since I relate to that type of music the most.

Today was a super chill which was really needed. I woke up really late around 11:00am and then went to eat brunch. I decided on getting brunch outside the hill somewhere in westwood. There is this specific hotpot place I enjoy eating at regularly, but have not been there since the start of pledging. So with that idea, I headed for a walk to Westwood to get a hotpot dish I really like eating. As I was walking, I got really lazy and made the decision to take a bird instead of walking. Once I found the bird, I sped off to get my brunch. Once I arrived at the restaurant I sat myself down and waited for my order. When I usually eat at this establishment I get a spicy beef hotpot that has various types of vegetables like cabbage and different types of tiny fish cakes. I also settled on getting the hottest spice level because I have been slowly growing my tolerance to spicy food. After I finished my food, I then decided to head back to my dorm. When I made it back, I had enough time to spare before my class had started. So with that extra time I took a power nap which was one that I really needed to catch up on sleep. After my power nap, I then headed to class and met up with some friends in that same class. When I ended my class I then got lunch with old friends who were visiting me.

I barely did anything today. I went to class and just did so much work i was so stressed and so overwhelmed my luscious hair was falling out from all this stress MEOW. Luckily, my big sexy big Petey helped me get some interviews started so i don’t miss my quota again because of how stupid i was last time. After class, i went to bplate with my girlfriend who somehow puts up with me and my hair. My hair is my personality by the way. My hair has its own personality i’ve named him Carl Carleton Jr. After bplate i went to the gym with Petey he’s so strong and handsome and strong wow i was so impressed. We had some good banter he is also so funny wow i’m such a lucky little boy with hair. Today overall was an A- i would like to do better at pledging because Petey needs a break from all the times i’ve been messing up. Anyways Good Luck Charlie xoxo. Anyway that’s actually not all. I went to strawberry fest at bplate today. It was pretty mid in all honesty. Now i’m about to head the the gym, and maybe do some mock trial prep. I don’t wanna let my pbros down. I also saw my co-little izzy today. We had an illegal hangout. Just kidding Peter was there too it was nice talking with them on bruinwalk. I want to go to bed kind of early tonight so that I don’t sleep in tomorrow morning so I can start my day earlier.

I had a long night last night so I slept in pretty late. When I woke up, I decided to relax a little since my brain needed some rest. I had a little of a self-care day for the first half of the day because I just laid in bed on my phone and computer. I then decided to get ready with my suitemate. I didn’t really have a need to get ready but my suitemate was going formal and it's always fun getting ready together. I then met up with my friend for dinner. We decided to get some epicuria, which I now regret as I was unaware of the strawberry fest at B-plate. Then, I wanted to walk into Westwood so I dragged my friend to Just Boba with me. At the boba shop, I ran into Leslie which was nice. Afterwards, I went back to my dorm to charge my phone since it's always dying. I then talked to my roommates and joked about how they live like they’re the childs of divorced parents (they spend half their time at UCLA and half at their house). I then met up with my PC in my lounge. At the lounge, we just talked and worked on Mock Trial together. Vedant bought me cheetos which was oddly nice of him. We then decided to also grab ice cream later into the night. I will probably finish the night by doing some more work and possibly getting fried chicken… maybe.

Today was a pretty chill day. I woke up at around 11:30. I didn’t have any classes or other commitments in the morning so I decided to sleep in. After getting ready, I went over my deadlines for my classes to make sure I hadn’t missed anything or had anything due today. I watched a bit of the Liverpool vs Aston Villa game, in which we came back and won 2-1. Unfortunately, we’re probably not closing the three point gap on Manchester City. After the game, I got lunch with a couple of friends at BPlate. After lunch, I headed back to my room to go over some of my mock trial notes. After that, I headed for my art history discussion. Today was a pretty interesting class. Our TA took us to the sculpture garden, where we walked around and discussed the different sculptures. It was actually a lot of fun, because my TA is very creative with his teaching methods. After class, I got a large iced chai tea latte with almond milk, my favorite drink at Kerckhoff cafe. Then, I headed to my fraternity house, where I had a meeting. After the meeting, I got dinner with some friends at BPlate. Then, I headed to Delta Terrace to rehearse for mock trial with whoever was able to meet today. We did a decent run through but we definitely need to get better at remembering our lines so that it can flow smoothly. I’m unfortunately submitting this after the midnight deadline because I lost track of time working on mock trial, when I should’ve worked on this earlier. My bad.
