Lately I’ve felt like I rarely write about anything good.

Not to diminish how much despair and utter hopelessness that I’ve felt since election day. I wasn’t able to do any homework for the previous week in English 102 class.

To set things since it’s been a while since I last talked about my college life, I am currently taking English 102 and Philosophy 101. Currently, I have a “B” and B+ grades in these classes.

Back in spring quarter, I earned an A grade in Astronomy 101 and B grade in psychology 200. I loved going to in person class and the coursework in the former, and was underwhelmed/unengaged in Psych 200.

I still have a solid GPA of 3.0 and change, currently.

My biggest struggle in this quarter’s classes is that both are online and I do not like online classes. Any classes in degrees with high in-person interactions don’t feel right. Specifically, classes with a message board structure. It’s very repetitive and isolating.

This quarter, I’ve been questioning whether to stay on my current college major path.

Doubly so after the election. Which is logical to feel when Nazis are coming to power. They call themselves MAGAts, but they are the same thing… Rebranded.

I have so much contempt for that crowd. They’re stupid, selfish, and greedy. I don’t want to ever interact or have them in my life because as this election has shown with TFG, we do not share values.

The glimmer of light in this corona of the black hole?

It’s given me absolute clarity about what I want from life. I don’t want to compromise for a good enough life, where I’m alive but empty.

So, that’s something.
