Feeling drained, motivate me

I recently started an accelerated nursing program and I’m so happy but I just need to stay I feel drained. Every Monday we have exams (which I was joking) and sometimes competency exams too that same week. I just feel exhausted studying or doing homework. I studied a few hours already this weekend and I’ve been doing good on exams. It sucks when I say I feel like I never do enough. I hate the feeling. I just needed to vent bc nursing school is no joke and accelerated programs are wild but I know it’s gonna be worth it in the end. I just would love some support and a slight push, please lol.

My new friends (24f)(25f) shocked me last night. What are your thoughts?

Last night I (25f) went out with my roommate and some other new friends we met in school. I was taken aback by some stuff that happened. One of the girls (24f) has a boyfriend yet she invited her male co worker and he was there the whole night with her (it was supposed to be a girls night). He kept buying her shots and they played games and were alone multiple times. Her boyfriend kept texting her and she didn’t reply. It just felt ugly to witness that, I didn’t expect her to be this way.

Then, my roommate (25f) who I really vibe with also surprised me. I’ve never seen it this bad. I swear to god, she kept flirting with every single dude just to get drinks. It was honestly pathetic. This includes the bouncers, the guys she bumped with, the guys behind us, the guys in front of us, etc. She’d compliment and grabbed their arm, etc. Man idk, this was so weird especially bc she’s quiet and not at all this way but she said she’s social when she goes out. It was just sad to see this from these two girls.

Like…. You don’t need a man to buy you a drink. Like you’re selling yourself to get a cheap shot.. and regarding the other girl… cheating on ur man in front of ur new friends is absolutely rancid. Meanwhile, I was happy we got picked up and dropped off by one of the girls boyfriends yet she kept talking shit about him so much lol. Yeah. Dating world does seem rough out there and I just felt down because I wish I had a good man next to me and someone to come home to last night.

I’m also going out with them next week for a concert and idk if I wanna party afterwards or go straight home after.

Is Goodnotes worth it?

I’ve got an iPad and I’m wondering if I should purchase Good notes to take notes in there and save the PowerPoints?

I’m using my laptop right now and studying from there. PowerPoints are saved to Microsoft PowerPoint but I know once the school subscription is up, I’ll lose them. Anyways yeah, is good notes worth it?

No One Noticed

I’ve really identified myself with the song “No One Noticed” by The Marías. The way the singer mentions feeling bored and lonely and how they’d hop into a plane for their loved one. It’s exactly how I feel. Bored, lonely, single af. Yeah it can be a bit my fault since I haven’t dated in a while. I just don’t wanna use the dating apps but is that the standard now? Sigh…. 😔 I truly miss having a partner so bad. I forgot how it feels to hold hands. It sucks. I’m young and attractive and social but yeah, no dates. Confession: I legit play boyfriend ASMR before sleeping. Yeah.

Sunscreen recommendations

I (26f) use sunscreen everyday and put it under my makeup. I’ve been noticing the sunscreen is making my makeup look patchy and I honestly hate it. I want something that leaves me hydrated, protected and with a smooth base! If yall have any good SPF recommendations please let me know!! I do have acne prone skin and have sensitive skins. I fluctuate between the L’Oréal foundation or the It cosmetics cc cream for my makeup. The IT cosmetics makes me burn a little tho. Anyways yeah. Thank you

AITAH when food spilled and mom is blaming it on me

Earlier today we ate fried chicken and I had some left over so I stored it in the fridge. A few moments ago my mom opened the fridges and the chicken fell to the floor. She started screaming and began to blame me and demand that I clean it up despite this not being my fault. I remember I stored it appropriately. I am baffled. She’s screaming at me and talking shit about me now. I said it’s not my fault and told her I’m not cleaning it up.

UPDATE: as I was cleaning the mess, I realized the chicken box that fell was hers . Mine is deeper inside the fridge stored quite good. Wow. She still blamed me for her mistake.

AITAH?

One day I climbed 40 minutes of a hill up and another coming fown (Fushimi Inari) and I was so sore. May I add there was a day I carried my 20 lb backpack for like 2 hours….I consider myself a fit person and do cardio and weight lifting often btw. It’s been a bit over a week and my body is still store, especially my feet!! When I wake up out of bed especially they hurt as I walk. Is this normal? It’s my first time traveling this far. My flight was 13.5 hours going and 11 hours coming back. If you have any tips pls let me know! Please help. Thank you. Arigato.

Truth

Fuck sex. I want to hold hands, cuddle, gossip, get to know each other on a deeper level, laugh, cry, be supported, be listened to, appreciated, loved, cared for, comforted, teased, respected, listen to music, go on late night drives, try out good food, make videos together, have fun and yeah good sex eventually.

Hi so I recently went to Japan a few weeks ago and something bothered me a lot. We went with my family (mom, aunt, cousins). My mother is 60 and she is a bit over weight but not like morbidly obese. When we arrived to Japan we saw how many stairs there are and she had to take a break halfway because she was panting and said her face went numb from the stress. I was worried. My cousins and aunt stared and didn’t even ask if she was ok. That night my mom asked my cousins if we can take it a bit slow and walk calmer but my cousin legit said “this is a fast paced trip, we can’t do that” to her face. So the first night after some walking my mom asked me to get an uber and we chilled at the hotel and rested for the next day. They refused to get taxis for the entire trip and just walk miles and miles and take metros. I was fine with the metro but at some point my mom and I got taxis because that’s what they’re there for.

The next days got better but I couldn’t help but notice shitty attitude from my family. We gave them their space and didn’t hinder their plans. They were the ones who invited us. They walked so quick and we’d be stuck behind. I’m athletic bc I weight lift and was still sore as hell bc I’m not used to 20k steps daily and Japan is another level. I just felt bad for my mom. Thankfully we got to do many cool things and got some days to ourselves. I did get pissed tho and thought it was rude when my family would leave us in the back and not bother to check if we were near them. I especially got pissed at the airport because they were nowhere to be found until we reached the gates. I think that everyone should be walking near each other especially when in a foreign country.

Another occasion that pissed me off was when we were at the fish market and I asked one of the vendors respectfully about the food they were selling and my cousin butted in and said “stop bothering the worker!!” I was shocked. Even my aunt apologized for him.

You’ve probably heard that a million times but I can’t help but say it because it is so so real… I’m feeling it so deep right now. I love my personality and whenever I truly click with someone and trust them it feels unreal. I miss that feeling.

I’ve (26f) been single 4 years now and there’s periods where I’m okay with being single and where I am so bored of it. I’m fit, attractive and young and sometimes when people ask how long I’ve been single for and I tell them, they always say “that’s a long time!” I mean sure I guess so but they say it as if Its a crime to be single. I think it was good to be single for a while and not jump into a relationship just because. It’s good to love yourself first and focus on you. I never go on dates and I’ve only had one relationship. My love life is pretty much non existent and perhaps it’s because of the small town I live idk. Most of the time now tho I feel so used to being single that I’m just like eh. I forgot how it feels to hold hands and stuff like that and I miss it. I have seen so many people jump into new relationships every single year and idk how they have the mental capacity to do that… no thanks lol. I’m staying single until the right one comes along. In a library as a book falls. lol jk. Just wanted to share my thoughts. Sometimes it felt odd to be an attractive person who has been single for years and isn’t going on dates.
