My story

  Editor's note: this post was written in Oct 2025. SO yes I did fly from Oakland to Denver to see Madeon and yes this is during the school year and I skipped 2 days worth of lectures and I spent a lot of money on this trip overall. But YES THIS WAS SO WORTH IT. I'm in the hotel right now as I have a flight in like 7 hours at 7:50 AM on Sunday and there's just too much to talk about, like I'll try to do my best here in this post. Background So to contextualize my love for Madeon, I first discovered him in 7th grade thru "Shelter" and I remember like one of my friends covering it on Saxophone during band class. I basically discovered him with Porter together and I quickly got hooked onto some tracks from his debut album "Adventure" that is like iconic and critically acclaimed and like just reslistening it today like its just so nostalgic.

  yes i am flying to ohio to watch the cavs 1st round playoff game. game 1 against the raptors. opening playoff game of this season. the idea came to mind really just me wanting to go on trips before i graduate and begin working for the rest of my life, and ive always wanted to see a cavs game in cleveland before and visit the basketball motherland and its a crazy idea and concept but honestly at the same time a great one too.

Living off-campus As always we start off with this category and I can't think of much else that has changed but I'm continuing the flow of living in a single and having a car and stuff. I started like highkey venturing out a lot more with the car and like some weeks I would average like 3-4 trips to san jose just like casually and ive probably been on that 17 highway like 100+ times now in my life so I know it really well. Senioritis is also starting to hit me aka not caring about anything since im graduating soon. My attention to grades and academics is continuing to dwindle LMAO dude realistlcally i averaged like 2-4 hrs of schoolwork a week max so you can imagine how much random sidequests i was doing. M...
