Prelude part 1: Introduction of My Blog
Hi, hi everyone!~ So this'll be my first blog post!
(⊙﹏⊙✿) *embarrassed* This will suck big-time I don't know if I'll mess this up or what but yeah.... Let's get on with it~ I'll start with a photo and a quote:
“For any writer who wants to keep a journal, be alive to everything, not just to what you're feeling, but also to your pets, to flowers, to what you're reading.”
― May Sarton
So, uh.... What I'm trying to say is that I'll be talking about everything and everything. I'll be talking about my experiences, my hobbies, my preferences and stuff. That's why I chose my blog address and title. Medley can mean 'collection'. I'll be writing about my collection of experiences from this and that. It can be sad experiences, happy experiences, exciting ones or some that are just plain weird. We all experience things, every single nanosecond of our life. Some people just want to share their experiences to others. In my opinion, I think we share what we think and what we go through because sometimes, we feel like when you think
"all right, I've had enough of my life today so how about tuning out of my life for a few minutes and check out what's happening to others' lives?". We can just forget our problems and be comforted that
"yeah, some people are still happy. Maybe I should be happy too". I mean, at least that's how I feel sometimes. And as for the title... Well, it speaks for itself I guess. I'll be typing down my random thoughts and stuff that I just have to share. Have you ever experienced having random things just pop up in your mind and you just have that urge to tell someone about it? I always get that. Of course, my friends are always there to listen to my ramblings but sometimes I just want to share my thoughts to those other people who are willing to listen (no offense to my pals >_<). And I am SERIOUSLY socially-awkward. I have a small circle of friends and they've been my friends since who knows when. Hmm, I guess that says we're loyal to our friendship! (LOL) But even if I am socially-awkward, I'm still pretty optimistic (That's what they say, at the very least). I guess that's it about my title.
Aaannd... Yeah! That's sort of it about my blog! o(◡‿◡✿) So thanks for spending a few minutes reading and well... Thank you for reading this at all! o(^▽^)o

The Blogmistress
A brief introduction of Her Royal Weirdness
Hello everyone, I go by Cossette— welcome to my blog! I'm a nineteen-year-old Chinese-Filipino law student studying abroad in Australia. I like to obsess over musicals, edgy memes, and general geekery. I spend most of my time sorting through syllabi for my classes, baking cookies, or lurking on Reddit. Since I'm on break from university however, I have also began binge watching lots and lots of shows on Netflix (what's a girl to do, after all?)
I am also that girl who is too emotional for my own good, and has a sad penchant for laughing (at myself, usually). Alas, perhaps my own peculiarity has scared off potential friends, but who cares? Someday, I will find my kin, my madcap ilk. But until then, I'll be sticking around here ┐(︶▽︶)┌
L O V E S:
Books
My friends
Homestuck
D I S L I K E S:
Flying monstrosities (get those cockroaches away from me)
Scary things
The abysmal state of my internet connection
W I S H L I S T:
To enjoy Christmas with my friends + family!
Faster internet pls
Happiness for everyone
More time to read books please

About The Blog
A description of my little corner of the blogosphere
This digital abode of mine was established back in August 2013 as a requirement for my participation in our high school's blogging club. Thus, I scrambled to create one, The Random Thoughts of A Socially-Awkward Optimist— the very website that you are currently viewing. I've long since quit (not to mention
graduated from high school), but typing away my thoughts in this blog is rather therapeutic, and I like thinking that perhaps a smile has made its way onto someone's face because of what I write :)
“Sonder” is probably the best word that would describe all reasons why I maintain this blog. The word can be briefly defined as the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own, and through this blog, I wish to be able to satiate that feeling in other people by retelling my anecdotes, thoughts, and rants, and hopefully I would also be able to lift up spirits along the way.
Life moves on and change is constant. But I want to document my experiences somehow: those ugly-crying moments, existential crises, or tears of joy and sadness. Then once change runs its course, we can all look back at these moments and laugh at our own naiveté. And hopefully, I can do just that by typing it all away in this blog.
