1) How are you doing ? Any news or something you'd like to share ?
I'm doing ok. My exams are this week, and I'm really stressed out, but I'm holding on tight. I'm learning to be more positive and grateful for the things I have in my life. I want to get better, so I'm not giving up just yet
2) Do you like autumn ? What do you like/dislike about it ?
I live in a place where it's just summer all year, but it's been a little chilly these past few days, so I've really enjoyed the cooler temperatures. I love being able to wear my jacket more, because it helps me feel safer.
3) What's something you feel nostalgic about?
I'm feeling nostalgic about the amazing holiday trips I had with my family. We had so much fun playing around and just chilling together. I remember the library my brother and I would willingly spend an entire afternoon in, because we loved these particular science books they had. I remember the amazing meals we had and friendships I made with the other families in the same tour. I remember all the fun we had in the snow, where I sunk waist deep because there was so. much. snowww. I remember the fun I had sliding down slides made of ice, and pushing/getting pushed by my brother around the ice on a little sled. I'm grateful I had that time with my family
@honestpanda81
Hey there :)
Good luck with those exams ! I remember I used to hate exam period, it always got me super stressed out, so hang in there ! You've got this :) It's great to hear that you're learning to be more positive ! :) We all need more positive energy in our lives at the end of the day. It's so good to hear that you're not giving up, keep fighting :)
Oh yeah I love that when the colder seasons come around, you get to bundle up in your hoodies and jackets and be all warm and snug :)
Oh wow, you're kinda making me nostalgic for holidays that I never had x) This sounds so amazing though ! Where was it if you don't mind me asking ? Sounds pretty cool (no pun intended !) :) It's great that you've kept these positive memories and you seem to cherish them :)
Thanks for checking in, take care <3
@Slizzy564
Thank you so much! I really enjoyed typing this out and going through all those memories too. It's Harbin, China.
1) How are you doing ? Any news or something you'd like to share ?
im doing okay.
2) Do you like autumn ? What do you like/dislike about it ?
i like the colors but i don't like that it gets dark earlier than the other seasons. i like when the sun is out for a long time :/
3) What's something you feel nostalgic about ?
i don't know actually.
@lydiarklistens
Hi hi :)
Great to hear that you're doing okay ! Lets make the most of the 'okay days' :)
Hum I do have to say that the autumn colours are pretty fantastic ! All those yellows, oranges and reds that mix together look really pretty :) But yes sadly we do lose a lot of suntime and it can be quite depressing when it's dark all the time :/ I suppose we can't have it all !
That's okay ! I know some people who don't feel nostalgic about much, I guess it depends on our personalities and such :)
Thanks for checking in, take care <3
@Slizzy564
1) How are you doing ? Any news or something you'd like to share ?
I'm feeling a little stressed. I have two assignments for this week, one is due tomorrow and the other one is due next wednesday. I have so much to do but my medicine is making me sleep all day and I'm worried because I don't know if I'll be able to finish it.
2) Do you like autumn ? What do you like/dislike about it ?
It is spring here but yes, I like autumn. There are many vineyards here and summer-autumn is when they are harvested. We have grape and wine festivals and of course I don't drink that but we have a lot of fun things to do and delicious dishes to eat.
3) What's something you feel nostalgic about ?
My childhood with my father. The way I sat next to him and laid my head on his lap while he played piano.
@Kimmkimm
Hi there :)
I'm sorry to hear that you're stressed, though seeing the circumstances I totally understand ! I hope that you get some rest and manage to be productive over the next days. When I got stressed out by exams, I found comfort in the fact that I did my best. Even if I wasn't satisfied with the final product, I'd done my best and I couldn't do anymore. So as long as you do your best, I'm with you <3
Oh happy spring ! Make the most of it :) Also those festivals sound cool ! Seems like a happy moment of the year where you are. Lots of yummy stuff to eat :)
Oh sweet ! It's nice that you got the share those moments with him :) Did he ever teach you how to play ?
Thanks for checking in, take care <3
@Slizzy564
I wasn't able to finish my assignment and I have a 1 now 
. There was a stressing wituation yesterday and I could not concentrate after that, but I know it's all my fault because I skipped too many classes and I should have done that earlier.
Yes, he was teaching me to play piano but I didn't learn to much. I can not keep two melodies in my mind at the same time, one for the right hand and one for the left hand. So I only use my right hand.
@Kimmkimm
Hey what's done is done. It might not have turned out the way you wanted but it's done. Instead of thinking back about how you could have done differently, why not think about how you can do today better ? Maybe even think a bit about tomorrow if that's not too stressful ?
You know I'll never understand how people manage to do two differents things at the same time. Amazes me to no end ! It's great that you can do a melody with just one hand :)
@Slizzy564, hey there. :)
1) How are you doing? Any news or something you'd like to share?
Great. I'm planning to play Among us with my brother. I'm too shy to play with other people without him. x)
2) Do you like autumn ? What do you like/dislike about it ?
I haven't experienced autumn, so I can't say that I like nor dislike it. ?
3) What's something you feel nostalgic about ?
I used to believe that dolls can talk and Santa Claus was real. The fun activities that my parents used to us were nostalgic. Hahaha.
Thanks for the check-in and take care.
@LovelyOrangeJuice
Hello hello ! :)
Oooh sounds cool ! Let me know how it goes :) I get you on being shy to play on your own but luckily you'll have your brother with you :) It's nice to hear that you share these moments together !
Oh really ? I'm gonna be honest, I didn't really think of that when I wrote the post x) But yeah I get that you can't really give an opinion x)
Aaaah how did you find out that Santa wasn't real ? I remember that I couldn't sleep on Christmas eve and heard my parents wrapping the presents x) Still enjoyed them though :) What kind of fun activities did you get up to ?
Thanks for checking in, take care too <3
@Slizzy564, hey :)
Yesterday, I managed to play the game without my brother as well. It's was fun, and I hope that I can also play the game with friends soon.
Yep, I have no idea what to say about that season. So, I'm curious. What do you think of Autumn?
Oh, I found out that Santa Clause isn't real because my school teacher revealed that it was only our parents pretending to be one. Additionally, some of the fun activities that my parents do with us were storytelling and playing with a lot of toys.
@LovelyOrangeJuice
Congrats on playing the game alone !! :) I hope you enojyed yourself :)
Oh I love autumn ! My favorite season of the year, there's just something about the cold weather coming back and winter slowly crawling in that I love. It makes me pretty notalgic and melancholic but I like that in a weird way x) It's going back to putting hoodies and warm clothes on, yet still having some sunshine and not too bad weather. I like the way the summer comes to an end and we have to move on to harder times so that we can enjoy it again. Oh and the leaves falling from the trees are so pretty !!
Oh that's not cool of your teacher ! Mind you it must be hard keeping track of who knows and who doesn't x) Ah storytelling ! I miss that a lot, my dad would make up his own stories and tell them before I went to bed :) They were so good !
@Slizzy564
1) How are you doing ? Any news or something you'd like to share ?
I'm ok. Everybody is getting COVID now. People are getting positive results on tests at least, which is effectively the same thing, at least as far as being confined to barracks. I refused to shake someone's hand the other day, because they told me they had been sick with a fever 3 days before and they said it was rude and were sort of pouting. I don't want to get a call from the health department and be quarantined in my room for 2 weeks... And not be able to got to work, etc. So yeah. I guess everyone is tired and I'm tired and somewhat anxious. But its fine. Or it will be...
2) Do you like autumn ? What do you like/dislike about it ?
I remember when we went for hikes in Minnesota with all the autumn colors in the trees. That was pretty amazing. I mean, for me, its not super my best because of the loss of sunlight. I am going to have to get my HappyLight lamps out at a certain point and hope the Winter isn't too dark and drear.
3) What's something you feel nostalgic about ?
Hmm... Playing with my old band in University :) I miss those guys...
@1morday
Hey hey :)
I'm sorry to hear about that situation with the hand shaking. I mean I get that covid is changing our way of interacting with each other but it's doesn't seem like the end of the world to me if we don't shake hands, there are plenty of other ways to greet someone x) But yeah I do get that everyone seems tired at the moment and it tends to make people insufferable ... Given the context, it seems pretty normal to be anxious ! I hope that things calm down soon though, or at least we find some sort of balance in things, everything seems upside down at the moment ... Hang in there <3
The changing of the leaves' colours is probably my favorite thing about autumn. It's so pretty !! Those hikes sound amazing :) The loss of sunlight is one of the more negative aspects of autumn though ... I hope your HappyLight lamps help you out through the winter !
Oh you were part of a band ? Sounds cool ! What type of music did you play ? :)
Thanks for checking in, take care <3
@Slizzy564
:) Hey
The band I was speaking about played folk music. It was fun. They were really good friends!
