Im terrible at cooking haha but I do it often bc Im on a budget and dont eat out often

Im incredibly lazy and try to keep it as simple as possible. I also mealprep and eat the same thing for days bc don't have timeeee
luckily Im also the least picky person in the world so anything is palatable

for breakfast, I had a bagel and greek yogurt
I don't really eat lunch, it's kinda just snacks? a banana, cheese stick, and granola bar
for dinner, it's always rice bc Im Asian ✌️ this week Im pairing it with miso soup with tofu, mushrooms, and leafy greens

I have a stack of frozen dinners and instant ramen for those nights when school kicks my ass

most-used appliance is hands-down the rice cooker. I enjoy pressing a button and not having to watch something cook

baking: *
eating: **** (taking out a star bc I have a stress-starve habit)
pickiness: *

ALKFDJ the poketch was ahead of its time. Apple watches only wish they were the first
and YES the item search app, I'm pretty sure I used that on the entire world map
I also really liked growing berries. I truly turned pokemon pearl into a farming game, I had so many berries

my first pokemon game was Blue, but I was too young to understand it. my only memory is that I had an overpowered blastoise and used it to kill zapdos and then saved after ✌️
my sister was never into video games, so I played with my cousin when we used to live in the same house. I think he hasn't played pokemon since emerald tho haha

I have a lot of good memories on the DS... that was probably the time when I played video games the most and knew the most people who also played video games. nintendogs was great bc it allowed me to have a dog when I couldn't have pets irl asldkfj

@Totalanimefan: ooooof that's hard, I'm so bad at small talk ahaha
I feel bad bc sometimes other people will try to talk to me and I'm very curt in response, I think because I go out with the mindset of just wanting to finish my business and leave as soon as possible asdflkj
at school they have social events too, but the thought of going to a restaurant/bar right now is hhHHHHHH...... so I've been avoiding those..

that sounds pretty flexible! it's good that they have someone to recommend which classes to take next.
I'm sure you'll finish by your goal, you've been very diligent about it.

I've never played the OG gen2 and gen3 games, I've only played the remakes
soul silver/heart gold were amazing tho ALDKJFLKDJ cellphone feature

I live for the extraneous mechanics in pokemon games outside of the actual battle system HAHA I probably spent more time in the underground than actually training pokemon

@Totalanimefan: personally I don't think I could do bullet journaling asfldkj I would probably overthink it and get stressed about the design HAHA
oh yes planner is a must-have for me... I put important events/appointments in my phone but I put to-do lists in my planner. I feel really lost without it

what kinds of things did you do to improve your social skills in that time? I still feel comfortable around my old friends but now I shortcircuit around new people. it was unbelievably uncomfortable trying to make friends with people in my class last semester.

I see, that can be difficult to figure out then. are you able to do the classes in any order you want?
nooo haha it's fine!! all students take breaks for the holidays.

ooookay the deadline has passed so pinch hitting starts now! if you're a pinch hitter please check your messages.

@Totalanimefan: oh that's a pretty good idea! have you ever thought about bullet journaling? it seems like it'd be fun.
I write a lot of letters(?) or like.. rants HAHA to get emotions out. but a lot of it is negative so I delete them as soon as I'm done writing
I'm better at expressing myself in written words than in speech. the pandemic has definitely made that worse since I've not spent much time with people since it started. my social skills have gone out the window

are you trying to keep yourself on a schedule? like finish x amount of classes per month kind of thing?

i dont remember if i've mentioned it before haha but gen4 is my favorite! you know how everyone has that first pokemon game that made them fall in love with the series haha pearl was mine
it's very nostalgic so far I'm progressing slowly bc I'm actually trying to complete the pokedex this time ADFLKJ
