          	Done... I'm really done.... I'm finally done with college coursework.... Granted, I have... a bunch of stuff to do before I lose access to Canvas, and I have a bunch of other things I have to do, and now I have to begin the rest of my life, but... college is really over now. It's crazy. Hard to believe. I'll probably go back at some point, just because I love learning, but... gone are the full-time college courses. Finally...

Sick during break... It always leaves me wondering, a blessing or a curse...? On the one hand, you're not missing any school. On the other hand, you're wasting your spring break.
          ... But the reality is, I'd be doing homework anyway. So I guess I'm not really wasting anything after all. So, the conclusion: This time, at least, it's a blessing. I don't have to go anywhere and get anyone sick.

Hey, I just found out that News Nation, considered Central by AllSides' Media Bias Chart (in other words, it's in the middle instead of leaning right or left), is a news channel! (I thought it was something you'd subscribe to. I've been trying to find news channel numbers – surprisingly difficult – and stumbled across News Nation's channel.)

Hi, everyone!! I just wanted to give an update (mostly on me and MHA fics).
          
          I've really been struggling lately. My self-esteem is probably at one of the lowest points it's been, and depression is a beast. I know I normally notify y'all when I'm on break, and I'm sorry that I didn't do that this time around. (I'm currently in less credit hours than normal since I'm finishing up, but because DRAWING- I'm still struggling to manage sh*t.)
          
          I also apologize that I haven't been posting anything. My vocabulary also seems to be inaccessible, so I'm really struggling to write properly. I actually have a lot written, and I'm continuing to write, but those all need serious revisions because there's a lot of gunk. If you want to check them out, they're available on the Google versions. (Links to the Google Folders should be on the Archive versions' summaries/opening notes.) I would appreciate if you can figure out what words I'm trying to use. Words that I wasn't happy with are marked by "/etc." or comments (mostly "(puts hands up)" because I can't even figure out how to express that-).

(Hugs you) Seriously, dude, you are too nice.... T^T
            Yeah, I really liked it, too. What if I combined the structure with a newer title...? M?MLAM? Ooh, ooh, I *like* that one.... Mailman? More Like Artistic Mate. But would it fit with the mpreg future...?
            Mailman, Artist, Mate, Mother. Pffpt.-
            At His Side is cute, but not descriptive enough.
            As the Demon King's Mate? ADKM? Hrmm... nah, I prefer my original ones.
            Hrm, hrm, hrm, so many directions I could go....

@BNHAFanFicReader Aww, thanks. Maybe I'll keep it then....
            Okay, I've decided; I'm not swapping the title. I really liked the idea of having the main story be "Breeding Slave? More Like Mate." and then the Tomuriya oneshot (not finished yet) being "Mate? More Like Breeding Slave." or something, but... Yeah, yappari, I won't do that.... Though I may still play around with the title a bit....
            P.S. I will totally get back to you eventually. I have not forgotten you!!! It is on my list of things to do, in fact.

I have been struggling greatly. (Melts to mush) I feel like I'm finally going to be fine, like I'm finally on the right track, and then depression and everything else comes right back..

Yeah, I know some people like that  It drives me nuts.... I mean, I know *I* come off as narcissistic and/or arrogant sometimes, but I at least work to improve that.... And inwardly, I'm just a mess of inconsistency and insecurity  But my grandparents seem clueless.... They don't seem to realize they have faults, and they don't consider others.
            Yeah, in one of my courses, a guest was telling us how foreign languages work to support other fields, but I guess I thought that meant more double majors and specific fields.... I thought it'd be most useful when interacting with other people (like between companies or with customers), but IT is more of a loner field, right...? Wow...  And like you said, you develop skills through acquiring degrees. I have a better understanding of language in general from learning Japanese, for example, so I'm in a better position to write and edit English. I just need to remind myself of all of that....
            
            Yeaaah, it took me this long to just figure it out, so I didn't need to quit  ^~^" Perfect timing, I guess... I'd just finished my major program when I finally figured out what I wanted to do.... But it occurs to me that a lot of what has been driving me through college was "I persevered through that course. I don't want that to go to waste." I think it'd be sad to drop out just because you change your mind on what to do (of course, once you know the h*ll of college but aren't in a good position to pivot or finish, why would you continue to spend money, time, and energy just for a piece of paper...?), but it was just as pitiful for me to hang onto what was clearly not for me. .,.'
            So true. I need to get it through my thick head that it's okay to make mistakes and detours, change directions, and even go around in circles....

There are many people who drop out and give up because what they thought they wanted to do was different than they expected but they still do well and find their true passion even if its later on

@NATSUMESPOLKAGIRL depends on how it effects you mentally but if u never doubt yourself rather than seeming confident u may come across as a bit of a narcissistic (in my opinion at least)  and literally yesterday I was in a talk where someone was trying to encourage getting degrees in languages even if you don't go into a field revolving around them. She even gave examples of ppl who studied languages then went into IT and all sorts

Me trying to understand my own stupidity::: (squints in utter confusion)
          
          Me trying to comprehend how normal people deal with social things::: (squints in utter confusion)
          
          My entire life::: (squints in utter confusion)
          
          That should be my profile picture, just the very confused Zuber expression... because I am constantly confused--- I have such a lack of ability when it comes to understanding people  Yet that's one of my favorite topics ^~^" Why do I like to torture myself like this...?

*understanding people (side frown???)
            Wattpad, why do you just delete emojis or replace them with *that*? (Points to the weird girl-B symbol that Wattpad replaced my facepalm emoji with below)

... Question: Is it weird to engage in petty online arguments as practice??? I feel bad, like I'm using people as Guinea pigs... I gotta remember to ask people if they actually want to engage in an argument....

Wtf would you call them--?
