So much rain, and other bits of serendipity.
Bwog was fascinated by art, and coincidences…
- Saw Latine Art Showcase (Mariachi Band owns my heart).
- Saw Morningside Lights and was once again amazed by this silly city and this silly school.
- Saw slowdive at webster hall!!!!
- Went to the all things go music festival in maryland! And ran into my high school friend at the festival by absolute chance????
- Beefed.
- Went to connecticut with those involved with the beef to see Hozier and Alanis Morissette and cried at several points throughout.
- Saw Hozier at msg, cried, cried even harder when he brought his dad out; was fundamentally changed as a person post-Hozier.
- Kept running into students in the class I TA for everywhere (on the subway, at parties, dinner in my friend’s apartment???).
- Went to the Brooklyn Book Festival and encountered many people I knew.
Bwog enjoyed (mostly) some human relations:
- Called one highschool friend for the first time in a long time. She lives in the Netherlands now! We complained about life—Old times!
- Caught up with some graduated familiar faces.
- Took myself on a solo coffee date.
- Talked in Riverside park with some friends until 3am.
- Had to open a bottle using the iron fences.
- While sitting, a guy drove by us, rolled down his window, and yelled “Get a Room!” before speeding away.
- We were sitting several inches apart. There was more than enough room for the Holy Spirit.
- Organized Bwog’s DWB!!!!
- Went to a killer housewarming party.
- Went to equally as amazing DWB and jammed to Olivia Rodrigo.
- Went to DWB! Was very upset that my outfit was slightly ruined by the rain.
- Went to one of the loveliest housewarming parties ever, stayed for like 7 hours lmao.
- Went home for the weekend with my friend, experienced the strange but lovely merging of my college and high school worlds.
- Saw some old friends and was fulfilled in my soul.
Some Bwoggers took good care of themselves:
- Ate apple cider donuts while wearing a sweater in the cool fall air :)

And some Bwoggers entertained themselves:
- Celebrated the moon at a Mid Autumn Festival party.
- Took a shot out of an old empty pill bottle bc we were out of shot glasses
- Laughed untill I cried!!!!
- Wished everyone I know a happy banned books week.
- People watched at the upper broadway festival.
- Had a Me Night.
Bwog was resilient:
- Refused to let Carlton’s back to back to back fire incidents get to me. Carlton supremacy .
- Was stranded in suburbia for 1.5 hours bc zero Ubers were available until like 12:30am.
- Spent 2 hours in the flash floods on Friday.
