 God I hate bragging so much. Scholarship essays will be the death of me. 

I tried to make the essay a bit more... humane? But my mom said I didn't list the important achievements enough. I passed the word limit, but then again, I'm the same person who used 4 extra pages for her IGCSE English essay and still got an A*.

I managed to fit what she wanted in. I have a feeling the essay isn't to her taste, but researching on how essays are made, I guess I'm the same. All we have to talk about is an interesting experience, and how it changed you. Or something. People look for humans who are contemplative, not robots. But then, a lot of these example essays involve something like a trip to the cheese shop or a dead father or something. I don't do those. I'm not someone with a lot of experience, which can be good because I don't think I've faced a lot of hardships and obstacles in my life besides my own self, but it's bad because... I'm boring. I'm the most boring person I know, and it's hard to talk to people because I'm never what they need. 

Update: I forgot to continue

 Sunday. 13th June 2021. Two days after the last day of school and the last day of IGCSE. I made plenty of blogs in the past. None of them I felt confident enough to publicize to the people around me. I guess now that I've graduated I've found a source of newfound confidence. Maybe I want people to get to know things and experience what I will experience. Maybe I want to find a way to connect with the friends I can't find myself to talk to. Either that or I want a record to leave behind. The pandemic messed up my concept of time badly. With this, I'll know what I did every day. So. Today. Yesterday I had an hour-long call with a friend. (I just realised I never thought about name-dropping. Is it allowed to say names here? I won't just for the sake of it I guess) He's wanted me to watch Interstellar for ages. I guess I finally did it. Though at varying speeds (you know that option where you can change speeds? x1.25, x1.5, and x2.0 were my options), since I have a...

Review - SOUR

 With all honesty, I only heard of her recently. And me being the K-pop fan I was, I didn't bother to listen to her. However, a friend recommended me the album. So I thought I should get around to writing my thoughts on it, because it wouldn't be fair if I listened to it without giving my thoughts. (Though with all honesty, nobody ever reviewed my recommendations. It's why I hate recommending - nobody even listens, and false hope isn't very fun.) So, Olivia Rodrigo. I checked out her Spotify and scrolled down her artist bio. She's actually... pretty interesting. She seems pretty nice and friendly, but at the same time she writes her own songs, so I'm glad she has a medium of expression somewhat. I was never a fan of stylized all-lowercase though, but otherwise, she seems like a nice person. 1. brutal Probably my favourite song at first listen, since it stands out genre-wise. Maybe I'm a fan of the rock, but also of her talking way of singing. I don't car...

 Today was a pretty good day. Almost perfect to be honest. So I'll account what happened. I woke up late. But fulfilled. Last night I wrote an analysis of Dino from Seventeen's type, who is an ESTJ 3w4. His Weverse interview is GOLD, there's evidence for all of his functions there. He happened to trend today so I decided to post it after all (I posted it half an hour ago) But I'm really happy with that analysis. I learned new things about ESTJs and how they functioned, and I could see it so clearly in Dino that I could apply them. I was so proud of it, though, that I hesitated to post it. I kept talking to my sister about it. I don't even know why I was so excited over it, but it was the best analysis I had written in a while. So I found an alternative - Reddit. I planned on starting a Kpop typology community with someone, and that analysis seemed like the perfect place to start. But I wanted to share knowledge with PDB, so I was torn. So I decided - write another a...
