award saturday aka all liebster awards

these awards have celebrated their 2 month anniversary on my to – do list and i sure am guilty of it

here i am ready to kick down that wall and in style *cue loud music over my teachers monotone voice* ( almost in style )

school can be draining, especially when you look at your grades, but as long as the teacher doesn’t call on me i should be fine. sometimes i turn my camera off and watch netflix but hey no one questions it because they all just assume im i n s e c u r e which is half the truth, the other part being that it’s a little too obvious that i’m not focusing when i laugh because who laughs in math??

just as im writing this my teacher announces the deadly words: pOp qUiZ
_{^{rip grade : (}}

what is my intro? maybe i’m trying to put off the actual post and add to the endless scrolling

yeah i don’t know
_{^{i blame online school for my rambling and 7 hour access to the internet so i can write this post}}

𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚢 𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚛

if you made it here – congrats on scrolling 2000 miles a lot. i hope it was worth it!

this was definitely a huge post – it could give my harry potter rant post a run for its money!

next week i’ll be doing a tag sunday ( hopefully ) but as you know i’ll probably end up drifting towards netflix to ignore my 30 pages of homework.

i guess we’ll have to see!
