This whole month has been rough on me and it feels like I haven't been relaxed in so long. At the start of the month I got extremely sick with a cold and have had a terrible cough ever since to the point where I now have to use an inhaler, take meds and possibly get x-ray scannings for pneumonia since I can't go talking for more than 30 seconds without my lungs giving out. That on top of all the stress and nervousness of going to my high school graduation next week is seriously weighing me down. I've also been having horrible anxiety and am constantly in a state of worry and overthink every action of mine. I'm on meds prescribed by my psychiatrist but it doesn't seem to be working too well. I don't really have anyone to talk to about my problems with besides my mom but I've already told her so many problems I've been having that I know telling her more is just gonna get her mad as she's already helping me treat all of my other issues. Are there some small things I can do to bring a little more peace to my life?

Maybe this is just over worrying too much like I do with everything in my life but I have pretty much only been drinking out of bottled water for most of my life. I know people are probably going to hate on me and I kind of hate myself to now after seeing all of the effects it can have on you.

Now I want to clarify that I do drink from a brita filter and refill my metal water bottle and use it everyday at school and have been since I started school (senior in hs) however when I'm at home I exclusively drink from bottles. Another point to note is that water (and sometimes iced tea) is the ONLY thing I drink. I didn't grow up in a soda household and hate the carbonation and flavor of soda so I never drink it which I would say is a good thing.

From here on I'm going to start drinking from my brita more as I have been prioritizing my health a lot recently and I know this will be a good change to make. But I'm just scared that all of the drinking I've done from bottles throughout my life has already done damage to me. Am I freaking out about this too much?

I have 90+ hours on rhythm festival but lately haven't been enjoying playing as much and I think its due to the uncomfortableness of my left hand. I'm right handed so naturally I know that I won't be as precise with my left hand, but it feels like I just have no control over it at all sometimes and I can never find a comfortable position to hold it with. I use a TDC 17 and the bachi it came with which is the F5 Rythmagica ones and it just feels like no matter what I do there's more weight being pushed onto the drum than with my right hand and it's getting uncomfortable to play for no longer than 15 minutes. What are some ways I could improve on stabilizing my hand and not hitting so hard?

I played maimai for the first time a couple of months ago at a random arcade I went too and it was super fun, but it was really far away. However a new arcade is opening up around 20 mins from my house in June and its going to have a DX cab and am very excited and would love to commit to playing more!

I download astrodx and get pretty comfortably get AAA on level 10 expert, but I know astrodx and actual maimai are different because of using your fingers vs your arms. I might be able to go another cab this month but are there any other good ways for improving at home?

Also another question I have is how often should I go to the arcade and play? Again mine is 20 mins away so I don't mind driving at all but don't want to go too much so I was thinking maybe like 3 or 4 days a week?

If you could give me some advice for any of this I would greatly appreciate it!

I’m a senior in high school and throughout this whole year I have done none the senior activities that the school does. This would include senior sunrise, homecoming, prom, and some other stuff. I don’t want to do any of it because I don’t have any friends to do it and I know I would get extremely uncomfortable with the large crowds of people.

My mom sort of understood these but tomorrow is our senior walk and I didn’t fill out the form for me to go so I can’t go even if I wanted to (which I don’t) and my mom was very disappointed in me. If you don’t know what a senior walk is, it’s where the senior class goes to their elementary and middle schools and walks around them and rekindles with their teachers. I’m not against the idea of it would have liked to go if I know I would enjoy it. However the people I went to elementary and middle school with I no longer talk too and I don’t want to walk around a bunch of places by myself. Not only that but there large crowds of people and being in the spotlight would make me really uncomfortable, so I didn’t go for that reason.

My mom doesn’t really seem to understand it though and is upset that I didn’t go and she’s starting to make me feel bad. Again, it’s not that I don’t want to go to this stuff, it’s just I know if I go I won’t be happy there. Im now just stating to think I’m just a fucking loser for doing none of the “fun” senior activities and just staying at home. Don’t really know what to ask for advice, this is just kind of a rant, thanks if you read

I’m not sure if round1 has officially put out a statement on the matter but me personally I think it might due to a shortage of plush and figures, and they can’t just have the machines empty so there just throwing in dollar store items. I highly doubt this is going to be permanent, as they’re going to be losing a huge amount of customers and revenue. I mainly go to round1 to play rhythm games so I’m not that affected by it but it totally sucks for the people who play the crane games, which is a big portion of customers. Im staying positive and have hope that they will change back soon 🙏

My closest one is willowbrook but I heard it’s all getting replaced with those shitty food prizes. Is the one in humble also doing this?
