Currently, I’m writing this from the college computer lab, surrounded by fellow students who are laughing and playing on their Nintendo Switch. It’s a bit noisy, but there’s something heartwarming about seeing people enjoy themselves in such a carefree way.
Yesterday, I released my first track from the 5124 PROJECT, titled Null. Despite this creative milestone, I’ve been feeling a bit disconnected lately. Adjusting to the real world after spending so much time in my digital comfort zone has been overwhelming. The 4-hour lectures can be mentally exhausting, and my lack of sleep hasn’t helped. I ended up going to bed around 1 AM, only to be jolted awake at 5 AM by my glitchy alarm, which sounded ridiculously loud—loud enough to possibly wake up the entire neighborhood.
This morning’s bus was slightly larger and more comfortable than the one from yesterday, which was a relief. Since it’s Halloween today, I decided to add a festive touch to my look with some cute bat hair clips.
After class, I spent some time walking outside in the rain. It was a peaceful moment that felt almost like a reset, but I made sure to stay close to the college since the bus was scheduled to arrive shortly.
