a future in adulthood

Okay so I'm going to be an adult in the near future and need to figure out the direction of my future! Currently the things that interest me are Urban planning and engineering. I'm located in California and have applied for a couple UC's but so far I've only heard back from Merced (accepted for civil engineering)
Unfortunately, it'd be very very very silly of me to apply for any higher-end colleges without grinding scholarships (which I've yet to do).
In total honesty I'm actually far more interested in going to a college in the cascadia region or the northeast. Maine, Washington, and Oregon interest me plenty! Wow, everywhere I want to go is so terribly expensive :((((((
Of course there's also aspirations for living in Europe! Oslo in particular is what I Currently have my eyes set on. Really, there's a lot to do and time flies faster than you'd expect D:

Let's switch from the future to the present.
I've spent the previous month or so watching through monogatari and it's been peak media. I really love the motifs and plays on said motifs. I just finished owari so that leaves zoku and the newest season. Ougi is a goated character. Well every character is goated actually.
I've also started my second semester of senior year and I've taken a period off. I'm a little behind on work but I think the rest of school is going to come along fine. I have a post-grad vacation planned for the summer soon to come as well. Wow, it would suck if I peaked in highschool lol

Hobbies!
So I learned how to play DUET from Omori on piano! Speaking of duets, I commisioned this song "So there's this girl" by Dunni to be transcribed so me and my friend could play it together. They're on the guitar and I'm on the keyboard! I still seldom touch art but I drew my first portrait in the fall and have been chipping away at a Bob Ross piece. Otherwise I fuck with Minecraft heavy.

In terms of real-life relations I believe I finally made my first lasting friend in two years? Something I've been somewhat insecure about since sophomore year of highschool is how I hadn't made any connections that would continue once i stopped sharing a class with somebody. However with some initiative I've been enjoying my time speaking with this cool fujoshi girl. Boiling someone down to such simple words feel a bit demeaning but I assure that's not the intent! I've been having a lot of fun because of her but it's also made me more aware my insecurity haha. I mean I don't really like how I act and feel as though I'm struggling to properly be myself in a sense. Of course while we may act differently depending on who we are around, the "act" is still us all the same! I just want to carry myself with more confidence in myself and actions I suppose.

This kind of goes back to hobbies but there's a few things I want to do once I get some freedom. Well, this is something I theoretically could do now or should have done sooner but it's essentially a fish tank. There's this really cool channel called Tanks for nothin and I really enjoy their content and it has made me a little interested in the hobby myself. The other thing I want to do in the future is definately get a cat! I've always fucked with cats heavy but haven't had the opportunity for one myself.

I'm sure there's more I could talk about with life being such an eventful thing and all but I'll stop here.
