Besides the sad things happening, I’d like to take my time to write about the good things that I’ve improved on. I’ve gotten better at thinking before I blurt out anything I want. I’ve been better at controlling my self-insecurities and my emotions instead of saying something passive-aggressive or spiteful. Working out is still tough haha. I’m still pretty bad at taking criticism and wanting to run away from my problems when they get difficult. But I’m working on it. And so on.

I had a quarter-life crisis a few weeks ago. I was so excited to graduate and get out of school, but not in the major that I’m currently in. I’m an architectural engineering major, but I think I should’ve went straight to studying architecture. I always felt unsure about what I wanted to do, because everyone in my life said that being an architect would be competitive and I wouldn’t find a job. (Back in 2014.) I thought being an architect meant that you were one of the extremely creative people who thought of, “this is how I’m going build this house and this is how it’s going to look like.” I mean that’s really cool. I LOVE structures. But I’m not particularly too keen on being competitive. I just want to be on the design or planning team of how to make this building come to life. But since I’m on the engineering side of it, I’m doing tons of math calculations and I don’t think this is right for me. Everyone states that the principles seems similar and it’ll be ok. I’m sorry, it feels like such a petty complaint. But it’s ok. I know everything will work out in time.

I’m super paranoid about the COVID-19. It’s actually terrifying. I don’t have any Lysol, but I carry a ziplock bag around with paper napkins and alcohol that has 90% Isopropyl. I hope they find the cure for it soon. I’m in a different state and I’m terrified about flying back. I live in Texas and isn’t it crazy that our state allows alcohol curbside pick-up for restaurants? Thank you to everyone who is working to try to keep this country working. I’m not too worried about myself, but I wouldn’t want to be the person spreading it. I hope everyone stays safe out there. There are tons of people who hasn’t been as cautious as they should be. Any who, have a great day today. I hope you learn a new hobby while you are quarantined. (I’m still taking my courses online and I stocked up on some yarn so I can crochet when I’m bored.)
