If you had to assign your current mood a color, what would it be and why? My current mood color would be FFAF6E, which if you look that up on google, is a calm-ish orange shade, which is similar to an orange sorbet/creamsicle, or a nice sunset. I chose this color because I'm in a good mood and the weather is getter warmer and orange is a great color. It's not intense like traffic cone orange and it's not frighteningly reddish like blood orange.  Drop a comment below if you are also enjoying this color!! How has your relationship with celebrities changed? I love how certain celebrities are giving back by being interactive with the public and stuff. Jim Halpert from the office show has a youtube channel where he gets famous people on a zoom call or something I haven't seen it. Frank Ocean finally dropping more music ( Dear April and Cayendo ). Another example: Florence Pugh has been posting videos of her cooking, dancing, and having fun on her Instag...

How was the recent holiday (if you celebrated a holiday)? The most recent holiday our family celebrated was Easter. Usually we spend Easter dinner with our cousins, who live in Lincoln Park, but this time we ate separately. We didn’t get any decorations out, and we didn’t put as much effort into the food, but I shouldn’t be complaining because I’m pretty lucky.  I don’t know anyone affected by the thing, yet. Plus Easter is a wack holiday already. Who even is the Easter Bunny and what does he have to do with the ascension of Christ? We all complacently accept his customs without even questioning why. It’s probably because the Christians couldn’t come up with anything good so the atheists came along and said: “Let’s wear pastel shirts and hide eggs for the children to play with.” Anyway, to answer the question, it was good. How are you feeling about spring? I have mixed feelings about spring, because I hate early spring and love late spring. Late spring is the equiva...

Are you spending your time differently? What are you doing more/less of? Since school has been temporarily cancelled, I've been watching a lot more movies than I usually do. Normally I watch 3-4 every week – one or two during the school week and 2 on Saturday and Sunday – but now that I have more time I've been watching as much as I can and reading more frequently too. I've also had more time and more motivation to work out most days and to catch up on sleep. And now that school basically starts at 9:00, I've had time to make a good breakfast.  I think that in general, when my schedule is the exact same every single day, life can become monotonous and fly by. But now that there is a break in the schedule, I feel like things have slowed down and I am more in control of my time. I'm trying to not fall back into my old habits of procrastination and spend my time here productively. Because soon the quarantine will be over, and it will be summer, and the last se...
