Quote of The Moment
"It's okay, we can work with this!"
- Deckard Wizard (Bee and Puppycat)
Hi everyone! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧ It has, once again, been a while. But I've returned! ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)
Anyways, perhaps you can infer from the title that I am currently in my midterms. Then why, you may ask, am I here with a blog post? That's simple. I am avoiding responsibility I am taking a short break from all the work. Math was very arduous work, and it's fan-freakin'-tastic that it is over. Sure, I probably failed miserably and might have to repeat the semester, but that's okay! #BleakOptimism
I don't know why, but I find it sad how our society puts a frighteningly big emphasis on mathematic ability. It's just sad, especially for people like me who are inept in academic endeavors. I mean, I can't do math but I can write fanfictions. I can speak. I can present arguments. Where do my undocumentable talents come to use? Ah, such is life.
Speaking of midterms, I also can't fathom why we students are passive-aggressively asked to fulfill unbearablly high expectations. I mean. Yeah. I wanna learn, I wanna get good grades! But at this point, it's like it's all that matters, and I don't like it. Or maybe that's just my brain rage-quitting through ranting. I do not know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Probably gonna fail all my tests (￣O￣;)
Moving on, there is one motivating force that drives me to do well. The Manila International Book Fair!! I'm going there after my midterms, and will be meeting with a friend who I haven't seen in quite a while so I'm pretty stoked (╯✧∇✧)╯ I hope my wallet and grumbling stomach will forgive me during weekday lunchtimes...
Well, I better get back into the zone if I want to scrape by with a passing grade. I may do another post after the book fair, documenting what I have experienced. Hmm, we'll see how this works out when the time comes. Oh well, ciao everyone! And if you guys are having exams too, then good luck and God bless! May the force be with you all! (•̀◡•́)و ̑̑

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 ┐(︶▽︶)┌

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.
The Jukebox
Current aesthetic: quiet holiday mornings, the smell of Christmas in the air
A little disclaimer: I don't own nor make money off of any of these songs, it's all just for a little good fun and mood-setting lol
These are the music playing in the blog. I hope you like listening to it as much as I do ◕ ‿ ◕ Simply click on the title of the song, and it will direct you to where I got it ❤
