  • Had 8 cups of emergen-C in the span of 2 days.
  • Had a completely sober week (and learned it’s an overrated concept)

  • Woke up at 6:30 Sunday night after fully going off the deep end on Saturday
  • Bought a tarot deck on a friend’s behalf because apparently it’s bad energy if you buy it for yourself??
  • Ate fruit for the first time since returning from winter break

Bwog Explores The City

  • Bought rice in Flushing and carried it all the way back to Manhattan.
  • Took the 6 train from almost-the-first stop to almost-the-last stop.
  • Went “shopping” in Soho but bought nothing other than pastries at Dominique Ansel.

  • Went thrift shopping.
  • Ran into every queer woman from Barnumbia at the King Princess concert.

Bwog Knows How To Party

  • Drank rose with a friend and watched every iliad adaptation. They were ALL bad.
  • Went to my first ec party since freshman year and remembered why I haven’t been since then.
  • Tried edibles for the first time and got so stoned I thought I could understand French.
  • Attended a 33rd birthday party.
  • Went to an Ariana Grande themed half-birthday party where 5 people turned 19 and a half
  • Did my ex-boyfriend’s makeup for a party
  • Gave myself really bad friction burns on my feet while drunk and had to do a walk of shame with said friction burns and no socks
  • Tried to get into a bar in midtown where you get free kosher hot dogs with every beer you buy. Got turned down, then spent 3 hours looking for a bar in the East Village that wasn’t too expensive, and ended up just buying beers from Duane Reade and playing video games in my room with my friends.
  • Waited over an hour for an EC sign-in.
  • Went to dinner in K-town for my birthday, where my friends presented me with the gift of a vibrator.

Bwog Watches Things (Mostly Spiderverse)

  • Went to the amc in Times Square and recorded my walk up and down many flights of stairs as my workout for the day.
  • Watched three episodes of the Bachelor in a row
  • Saw Spiderverse for the second time. Still cried because it’s fantastic.
