This is the first post I'm making that doesn't have the standard picture header. But that's because this is a different kind of post.
I made a playlist. It's called Electric Ocean. You don't have to listen to it in a specific order, and in the download link I'm going to give you, the songs will all be downloaded alphabetically. Here's the download link. Other playlists I'll make will have a specific order but this one is a little bit different because it celebrates 3 years of life with my best friend. So it's not a super specific playlist with a specific aesthetic. It's just a chronicle of our memories. If you don't feel like downloading it you can listen to it here.
I'm just thinking a little about where I want to go from here. There are so many goals I want to achieve and I'm full of doubt. Who do I get close to? And all that stuff. I kind of want to move to PR from IBA because I feel like I'd like PR so much more. I feel stupid that I chose IBA simply because I was worried that PR wouldn't make enough money. It sucks that I'm always thinking about money, you know? But now I'm wanting to make a magazine and I'm really starting to regret not joining PR.
My cousin helps me a lot because she prays the 'rosary of liberation' with me. I think that after we started regularly praying I've been doing better. I know, I know, I'm not Catholic. If anything I'm nondenominational Christian. But I pray it with her every night and I always feel better afterwards. The sinking feeling about my academics and my time at SGU also fades whenever I pray regularly. So I think I'm going to keep doing it.
The seniors are always telling me that our sense of belonging is lacking, and maybe they're right. But when a bunch of the students in my class don't even want to go to makrab and we never really spend time together, how can our sense of belonging become stronger? We need more assemblies and university-wide events, rather than things that are just for SO or major-specific.
I've been getting up to date on fashion, which means, of course, stalking the Louis Vuitton S/S 2016 show. Fernanda Hin Lin Ly (left, famous for her pink hair) walked the show, and I think five other new models debuted. It was a futuristic show, with light elements and big screen projections. Like installation art. Chunky pieces, metal, and leather were probably the defining traits of the show.I'm just including this picture because I really like her hair and her outfit, even though I doubt it would look stellar on me. I hope someday I'll have enough money to be able to afford Louis Vuitton, and that I'll be responsible with that money rather than spending it on unnecessary luxuries.
Anyways, it looks like Paris Fashion Week was gorgeous. I wonder if I'll be able to go to Jakarta Fashion Week and someday even to PFW. And all the other Fashion Weeks. Semoga, ya.
I'm in the library right now, writing this post because my classes for the day are over. Later I have choir practice, but I also have a meeting for BEM Education. A lot of people are saying in the group chat that they can't make it, which makes me feel sad for some unknowable reason. Maybe because I wish people cared more? Or were more solid? It's different, going to a relatively unknown university in Indonesia. It doesn't help that we're next to Prasetiya Mulya, which is apparently the best university in Indonesia for business. People in my class like to compare SGU to Prasmul, which makes me sad. It also makes me kind of angry because they don't want to work to do a better job and raise SGU's status in the community and country, but they can still compare us to Prasmul.
I've been listening to Justin Bieber's "What Do You Mean" a lot more than I should. I think a lot of other people are too, because sometimes I'll be walking to class or sitting in the library and then I'll hear someone sing it. I really like the song, though.
Can someone help me understand why everyone seems to call me some variation of "dumpling"? Are my cheeks really that chubby? (o^_^o)
Love,
