recap: june 2025
mr. brightside, eye candy, and brainrot
2025 IS OFFICIALLY HALFWAY OVER!!!! the new experiences from this past month especially have culminated in an overall feeling of excitement leading into the latter half of the year, so let’s dive into june specifics:
yays:
heard mr. brightside live
flew on the plane for the first time alone
laughed a lot
i’m proud of how i settled into a new setting and situation so nicely! i’ve spend the entire month alone in a new state at a new job with new people, and i feel like i’ve really adjusted nicely to what feels like a crucial step into independence in my life
^along those lines, i made my own money from a real job (not an underpaid campus student job) for the first time and got my first real paycheck! it felt great to be able to contribute more money to my roth ira as well!
^to add onto that, i’m overall just super happy with my entire internship situation—i have a great manager, close friends i’ve made easily because of our great living situation (same hotel, so i see everyone constantly at breakfast/in the lobby/on shuttles/in the evenings/on weekends), fun events in the area i get to go to, and cool offices i rotate around when i can
was not completely deprived of eye candy
been on that tiktok grind and am having fun making content lollll definitely slowly getting over my fear of being perceived online
got through the entire month without a single broken nail (again! huzzahhhh let’s keep this streak going please!)
saw post malone, camila cabello, jimmy fallon, noah kahan, the killers, and walton goggins together in one day
got lots of exciting first round interviews yay!!! now the question is if i’ll pass them…
pretty good monthly music rotation (see below)
had lots of fun playing around with matching and wearing business casual outfits to work, especially since i’d never really had the regular occasion to do so
NEW TATTOO YESSSS DOPAMINE RUSH YESSS
lots of drawing going on! feels so good when i set aside time for hobbies during busy times
was definitely way more social than i usually am and talked to so many new people this month + said yes to so many new experiences with others
nays:
unfortunately broke my monthly reading streak :( i’ve been reading at least 3+ books/month since january but legit have not finished a single one this month :( makes me so sad but i’ve been putting so much focus towards my internship + other hobbies so i can’t completely be mad at myself
terrible terrible terrible sleep sched
just been constantly tired and not alert
also just been veryyy distracted and just not locked in man—i need to find a good balance between work, my social life, classes, studying, and external recruiting stuff
was impulsive
brainrot has lowkey infiltrated my vocabulary
not enough side quests happening for me…..this cannot be.
hella crash outs wtf….
ate raising cane’s so much
some pretty careless spending occurred (and now i have no idea how i’m going to pack the results of my retail therapy in my singular suitcase back home at the end of the summer)
my hair is fried
journaled ONE time the entire month
2025 pt. 2, i hope you’re even better than 2025 pt. 1!!!!
