Time Well Spent

I am back in the city for good now! I’m not sure if that statement deserves an exclamation mark or a question mark, but I’ll be optimistic. I’m working this weekend and then moving back into my dorm on Sunday night. I’ve enjoyed having very little responsibility for the last month. I was just a friend, boyfriend, and part-time worker. Going back to school ups the responsibility level, which adds to the stress level. This break was fast, but it was good. I wish I had more time—looking back, I could’ve done a lot more. I don’t really respect relaxing as time well spent, and I really need to change that. If I stay in bed all day, I view it as a waste of time, like I should’ve done something productive. I spent a good amount of time in bed this break. I slept in almost every day. To be honest with you, I’m really fucking happy I did! I deserve it! For the next week or so, I have to wake up pretty early. I’m not terribly excited about it. I have work and training for RA stuff. I think the training is just refreshers before the new semester, but I’m not really sure. I’m excited to be back in my dorm. Having one home base instead of two will be a lot less tiring. I’m super excited to have Violet back in the city too. I’m ready for movie date nights and having somebody to annoy in the theater again. I’ve been trying to watch as many movies as possible lately. Phoebe and I are having a friendly competition on Letterboxd. Whoever watches the most movies by the end of the year wins. The loser has to take the winner to a movie of their choice. I think that’s a good prize—both of us win. She’s beating me right now, but she doesn’t know what’s coming. I’m about to grind like no other. To be fair, she watches quality movies and doesn’t stay up till three in the morning. I, on the other hand, tend to watch shitty comedies and stay up very late, meaning I have way more time to consume content. Without TikTok, I will become indestructible. I’m working on the quality of movies I watch. I think I watch a wide range of quality—I like to give everything a try, even if I know it’s gonna be shitty. You live, but you might never learn. I started watching Zoolander earlier. It is a great example of a great movie, and it’s funny as fuck. I’ll defend it forever. They don’t make great comedy movies like this anymore, and it’s sad. I watched a movie called Aloha last night. Tell me, God, how the fuck do you have Emily ‘Emma’ Stone, Bradley Cooper, Bill Murray, Alec Baldwin, Rachel McAdams, John Krasinski, and still make a shitty fucking movie? What the hell! Moisture is the essence of wetness. Wetness is the essence of beauty. Happy Friday, everyone! Enjoy your holiday weekend!
