This experience just isn’t sunshine and rainbows, its cold winds and grey skies.<\/p>\n

I knew this. How could I not have known this? But trust me, it is so much easier to be sad and upset when I have Chick-Fil-A around the corner from me. I have met great people and have had amazing experiences, but I can’t help but feel like I’m wasting my time. Coming up on senior year, there is so much pressure to find and internship or a job that actually propels me into my career. I feel like I’m at such a standstill. I know this is my opportunity to relax and explore, but I have so much that I need to focus on for my future that it’s giving me anxiety.<\/p>\n

We have about 2 weeks left for classes. Then it’s final coursework and an exam May 8th. I’m honestly so grateful that I have one of the earlier exams. I know I won’t need much time to study for this one course and the sooner I’m out of here the better. BUT LIKE I SWEAR I’M HAVING A GOOD TIME. It’s just expensive and confusing which is what information was given to me beforehand so why am I so surprised? I can’t help but find myself refusing to get out of bed and not wanting to go out at night.<\/p>\n

I’m also trying to manage a long distance relationship, and while everything is working out great I just miss having my best friend beside me. I feel like all these experiences would be so much better if I had my friends and family to enjoy it with. Dragging people left and right to go on last minute trips can just cause bumps in the road.<\/p>\n

I’m managed to send myself off to cool events that I’m interested in such as The MasterClass by makeupbymario and the Glamour Beauty Festival this past weekend. Sadly, I haven’t found many others who are interested in makeup or are an MUA on the side or as their full career. I guess that makes sense, but this is one of my big hobbies and part time hustles so I love knowing everything about everything beauty related. I trotted off to these events by myself and had a great time, but I just miss having my friends who would have loved coming with me. I met makeupbymario which is Kim Kardashians’ makeup artist and a large influencer in the beauty industry and also met Maisie Williams from Game of Thrones. I was so happy and had such a blast being an audience member on these talks and Q&A’s and have become so inspired over the weekend to jumpstart my career. It’s just so difficult to do that without having a US phone number since most applications don’t accept otherwise. I just want to be home focusing on the future. The now is so dull and depressing. Studying abroad feels like a scam at this point and I’m just disappointed. I don’t feel like this university has a great support system and when I’ve tried to reach out I never get responses.<\/p>\n

Oh well,
\nback to my netflix binges.<\/p>\n
