Hey there bzp. long time no see. figured I'd just pop in and throw a little update for fun since it's going around.

A lot has happened in the last few months since I last posted in this blog, so I'll split it into two categories:

The Good Stuff:

-Saw Avengers. Loved it (aside from bad opening CGI)

-managed to collect all the 2015 BIONICE so far

-made a lot of awesome friends at college this year, hung out with a lot of people and generally improved my social anxiety situation

-graduated music college as an audio production/bass major, mostly A grades, highest GPA I've achieved

-decided to attend an extra 3rd year as a composition major to work on songwriting skills and put an album together

-performed in 4 of my friends' graduation showcases to great success

-kinda feel like a legit musician

-reconnected with one of my high-school friends who I haven't really spoken to in almost two years

-managed to get myself out of my near-five-year depression finally thanks to the help of some really wonderful people, felt legitimately happy for the first time in a long time

The Bad Stuff:

-Most of the great friends I made I will either never see again or might run into at some point in the far future due to college being done (will see a few of them back for 3rd year)

-My mom moved out and got her own place, wants a divorce from my dad, haven't really spoke to her in over a month now

-very broke right now, cannot currently afford gas. will have a job at the end of the month but tough going until then,luckily dad's letting me stay rent-free but

-dad was injured in summer of last year and won't been able to work until october-ish this year, so family funds are also tight

so as you can see the good far outweighs the bad, but the bad is some heavy-hitting stuff. I'm keeping going though, determined to keep everything in perspective and not let another long depression sink in. Life is mostly good right now and I'm just trying to appreciate that.

hope everyone else has been doing good here, sorry I don't blog that much I guess haha.
