Could NOT be me (I’m literally about to sign up for a public speaking class designed specifically for group presentations just so I don’t have to speak alone) more power to you though 🫡

Since we’re apparently silencing news media in the big year of 2025, can they please go after The Sun next 😭 #BB27

Except it’s not acting? That’s literally the entire concept of reality tv (including competition reality tv)

You can go on and on about the definitive meaning of words and the nuances of whether reality tv is actually real or not

My argument revolves around what FEELS (in)authentic to viewers

Also $25 for a hat is kinda crazy 😭

Literally my sister’s ex husband DMing me on Instagram for the first time last night to send me a meme that included calling me a diva?! (non derogatory) Like yes king, be more supportive than my actual siblings, love that for you!

They finally added my Linguistics minor back to my student profile!! (It only took passive aggressively filling out the Linguistics minor Google Form 3 different times and leaving a note that they hadn’t added it back yet 😭)

I ashamedly do, in fact, move my hands up and down in a weighing motion whenever someone says “ 6 7” 😔

That being the one gripe you have is so funny to me, I’m sorry 😭

Not only did you take what I said out of context (the context being how Probst often tries to MAKE moments for tv instead of letting them happen) but also hosts saying “my” for things that are related to the show they host is not new

And the most frustrating part is they FORCE me to meet with this woman before registering for classes… they quite literally lock my class registration down until she gives the green light for… what exactly? I don’t need to talk to her 😭

I have a meeting with my academic advisor in a few hours, can’t wait for this woman to expect me to do her job for her and have a pre-made list of classes I want to take next semester 🤩 (I’m gonna make the list, just let me vent)

I’ve only watched Degrassi: Next Class and that show is CRAZY 😭 (and shockingly good at portraying struggles that teens/young adults go through, if you ignore the dramatization??)

And for the record I would consider myself a Survivor super fan, but the direction the show has taken since season 40 isn’t sustainable long term imo

Which is so funny to me because they’re failing to realize that The Traitors/ Alan Cummings are so successful because of the authenticity of both the show’s cast and the host himself 😭 Survivor tries way too hard to produce material that the Traitors does better, only effortlessly

I honestly lowkey love when TAR challenges are just “hey, do some manual labor for these people” 😭

We’re at the point of fall (at least here) where it’s chilly in the morning but hot by noon so you don’t know what to wear 🫩

Oh and I found out I do NOT like mojitos (or at least the one I was given) because it just tastes like straight alcohol and I do not like that

My favorite parts of my Atlanta day trip!
1) Olympic park is beautiful
2&3) The Tabernacle is MUCH larger than I thought it would be, but Kamala Harris made the anxiety worth it
4) Ended my day with a 3 and a half hour drive consisting of me going 90+ mph while jamming to 2000s/2010s R & B
