A few weeks ago, I logged in to put my first day of my first real adult job on my Google calendar. I clicked on June 1st, feeling very old and very young, and saw that June 1st is also the anniversary of the day I started watching Glee in 2016.
This anniversary is one of many on my calendar, not because I really need to commemorate them, but because I need to mark the passage of time. None of you knew me before September, but believe me when I say that the only change in my appearance in the last four (eight?) years is the length of my hair. While media consumption is not the only important thing in my life, I can count on it to document my growth in the absence of anything physical. To this day, I automatically think of the Divergent series whenever I catch a whiff of the cucumber deodorant I wore in seventh grade. It is less blessing and more curse.
After this post-graduation purgatory ends, I will surely have more updates for you all, but until then, I will record my current state in the only way I know how!
Listening To: the new boygenius album, all of Pure Heroine by Lorde, and just the bridge of "Sing" by My Chemical Romance (add me on Spotify @natz8900)
Reading: nothing right now because none of my holds are available at the library :( send me recommendations if you have any
Watching: a D&D show/podcast? called Dimension 20
Not Actively Consuming But Thinking About: the TV show Merlin on the BBC, Lord of the Rings
