Great Connection in Person, Very Awkward on Social Media, what to do?!?!

I (20M) met this one girl in my engineering class around three weeks ago and developed some feelings for her. We have connected really well in person ever since I started talking to her, conversations have ranged from our travel experiences, our experiences in music from high school (Me in Marching Band, her in Orchestra), my music career (which I'm not promoting here), and even a bit about sports (She used to like baseball and I'm a die hard dodgers fan). In recent times our in class interactions have been sweet and borderline playful, she asks me about my future and tries to whisper things to me when the professor is not looking 😂.However; after we got each other's instagram's, things have felt very awkward on that side of the court. She often lacks the initiation and curiosity I see from our in class interactions and it just makes me feel very confused.
I want to believe deep down we have potential for a deep connection or even relationship down the line but these differences got me feeling lost, I did ask her to hangout outside of the classroom setting and she said yes! (to a specific time that would work with her schedule too!) I’m sorta confused but should I be really that concerned, what do y’all think?

If this is successful it can maybe become a recurring series in the future

Here are the five songs!

Level 1: Very Easy

WHERE WOULD YOU GO, WHERE WOULD YOU GO, WITH-

Level 2: Easy

I don’t like it as it is, a-

Level 3: Medium

Business calls me-

Level 4: Hard

It’s everything that I’ve ever known -

Level 5: Only for a Diehard Fan

I don’t hear you talking, but-

Tomodachi Phoenix Pt.2

Was recently checking on the Phoenix Mii’s on my Tomodachi Life Island and they had some pretty funny moments to show for, gotta love the randomness of the game 😂

(For reference the order based on the first image is Deck, Thomas, Chris, Branco, plus some of their dialogue is custom to match their real life counterparts)

Opinions on new permit purchase windows

This semester UTEP rolled out the new system where different classifications have different days where they can purchase parking permits. I personally don’t like it that much (Mainly because I got lucky last year and got a great spot) for two main reasons. The lack of class verification and the underclassmen having to cross the Sahara desert to get to campus 💀

On a real note the first gripe I got is kinda valid because I had a friend (Sophomore) who didn’t follow the outlined dates but he was still able to purchase a permit in a fantastic location (The date for sophomores wasn’t for another week, he used the opening meant for the seniors and it didn’t ask to verify is classification)

What do y’all think?

Post Summer Meltdown

The summer season is wrapping us at my Cinemark but it hasn't been finishing without major drama and infighting.

Our location has three managers who everyone seems to have a gripe with, one is infamous for stranding many of us without breaks for hours or straight up ignoring our breaks all together, the other never helps out and we hear her laughing with other managers in the office (also loves to give write ups for the most minor issue), and the last one gives us attitude and rarely helps. Even though i'm just an usher, it's also taken a toll on my friends in concession who would really use another body at registar to cut down the lines. This is also not compunded by the fact that when these three manage ushers, they either don't help at all or are even on their phones.

A lot of us have quit already but today's incident was the worst, we had just wrapped up a 1 1/2 hour rush of cleaning a bunch of theaters and by the time we were done, my two fellow ushers and I were exhausted (plus one of the ushers had a knee injury), so we all sat down for on the railings for not even 10 seconds when one of the three managers opened the window from the projector hall and stated, "I've seen enough, y'all are in trouble". This ended in all three of us accumulating write-ups which I really dont care about as an engineering student and Tuesday is my last day anyway, I dont plan to be back but I felt bad for my co-workers as they now feel like quitting due to manager's actions that last two weeks. My colleagues in concession have had it worse, many have multiple write ups and these three have said "we never just sit in the office and drink soda" (Kinda seems a little suspicous am I right?)

Honestly based on my co-workers messages in our co-worker instgram group chat, it seems like we're on the verge of starting a protest or strike because of how much everyone is getting written up for the smallest of things and how folks have generally felt abandoned by these managers, it feels like a meltdown.

At least the other 4 managers we have are nice and help us out a lot, if that wasn't the case, who knows what our location would be right now. D:

In General, what is your LEAST favorite song Phoenix has wrote, or that Phoenix has done work on

Stole this from the Daft Punk Subreddit but I wanna try it l with the other great French music group

I can’t stand Party Time, it hurts my ears and feels even worse than songs other fans hate like I’m an Actor

Ridiculous Parking Enforcement

It's summer here at UTEP, yet parking enforcement is still acting like El Paso's Motorcycle Cops with how many tickets they've given out. Yesterday, myself and multiple others with valid permits got ticketed for cross-parking, even though cross-parking (besides inner campus) is allowed during the summer semesters per the parking services website (I have a permit for Schuster 1 |Blue| and I was cross parking at Schuster 4 |Blue|). Appealing my ticket soon but has anyone else had this issue recently?

Up until this point I had never seen Charlie live and this concert made me feel sad for not seeing him live sooner!

For the opening acts, Salort was eh, it was hard to understand her at times but she had a few decent songs. Daniel Seavey was pretty good, lots of fun tracks and energetic warm up before Charlie came out!

It felt great seeing classics like How Long & Empty Cups along with the WC! Tracks in person! Attention and See You Again in different keys felt weird because it’s a first but it was still great in my eyes. Visuals were top notch, the backing band/choir were great, and it felt very musical like Charlie was promoting!

However; in my section there was some drama. These ladies ahead of us in Section 202 (Pictured above) were blocking the stage for myself and my colleagues around me (Especially during VN Tracks). Eventually the people around me got tired of them blocking the view for half of the concert and began to shout at them and even throw popcorn at them until they finally conceded. 😅

Besides that, 9/10 Concert! I would’ve loved to see at least one or two tracks from CHARLIE but I can understand it from an instrumentation perspective Would recommend to any Charlie Puth Fans!
