Hello :) I go by different names on here (I can never seem to make up my mind), and I'm a college student trying to keep a healthy mindset while studying ...
I left off my last post exploring my frustration with the final end to my senior year. I'm not really on some kind of miraculous other end after all of that. My teammates wound up getting better grades than the TAs admitted they deserved, and I got a worse grade than the work I put in to the team overall since I spent so much more time trying to prep my teammates to pass that I didn't even have…
I don't really know where else to dump this - I hope everyone's ready for some hardcore complaining. If that's not your thing, go find something else to read. I'm at the end of my senior year in college. I've got 5 weeks left here. I have a midterm coming up on Wednesday, and I have another one a week or two after that one. I don't know if it's senioritis. Sheer burn out. Exhaustion- I don't know…
Lead Up: Weird, I felt odd about it. He said to not read too much into the Tinder stuff, but... that's how I am. I'm not gonna NOT read into it, and he just had English on his bio. How was iiiiiiiiiii supposed to know that he was German? Everyone looks the same here in Europe (before you come at me, I'm not European and everyone is bundled up half the time anyways, where am I supposed to…
Lead Up: We chatted a bit about cars and watches (he rebuilds and repairs watches in his free time, which was pretty cool). Venue: Coffee shop, then a.. weird arcade bar-type place. Cuisine: He got me a waffle with cheese on it, and then asked if I'd tried Norwegian waffles before. I didn't want to disappoint him (I've devoured countless ones and made my own, they're heavenly), so I think I…
Lead Up: Discussed drones, he was doing his master's in electrical engineering so we had that in common, sent a lot of cowboy emojis Venue: London-vintage-vibey (in my head at least, I've never been to London) cafe and then outside What'd I eat?: Whatever their special was, I think it was a mixture of bringebær/raspberry syrup and.. I have no idea. I was confused but it tasted good (and my date…
Lead Up: Chatted a bit about making bad music and how much I liked to bake. Venue: book cafe Cuisine: hot chocolate (I decided to mirror what he got, as I didn't really find myself in the mood for caffeine) Conversation: My most awkward yet? First Impressions/Random Thoughts: A bit painfully awkward. Overall Experience: He was super nice and sweet, and I had a good time with him even if it was…
This was a second date with turf guy. Venue: Pizza place (Norwegians like their pizza) followed by mini golf afterwards Cuisine: Pizza (this one was alright, I wasn't a huge fan of it and my mouth itched a bit afterwards, probably wouldn't go again). Conversation: We ended up talking a fair bit about ADHD and struggles with school, before I was reminded that he didn't enjoy fantasy and stuck to…
Okay, so the guy actually wasn't creepy. But in the five to ten minutes that I was trying to figure out where to meet the guy and walked through an unlit park three times, followed some random poor dude I thought might have been him, texted him as such only to look up from my phone and notice he'd disappeared from my view - it was exactly the starting point of any horror movie - even I know that,…
Lead up: I'm a little hesitant with this one, he mentioned straight away he has troubles socializing with people here, but given that he's been in the country since April, I would've expected him to pick up Norwegian a fair amount by now (I'm only here a year and I'm expected to pick up a good amount already - but maybe my Norwegian friends are just being mean to me). And he's been a little too…
So there are also (of course) other guys I'm interested in in real life. I'm telling you, the crushes go crazy out here. European guys are just too good. Also full disclosure, I'm a fairly plain looking girl and put on some weight (~10 kilos), so I'm just relying on my erratic personality to hopefully land with someone , but I also have 0 expectations and I'm doing this more for fun than anything.…
