On Google during class considering transferring schools halfway through my first quarter bc why am I looking at slides about ethical nonmonogamy and polyamory
@EdwardVersaii I actually live in Jersey rn - I’m in grad school in Philly. It’s 25° back home today which is bordering getting cold enough for me to wear a scarf but really I wouldn’t until outdoors for a long time in subzero temps.
Jealous of knitters whose people actually like getting knitted stuff. 😭😂 None of the people I need to get gifts for for Christmas would actually like getting knitted stuff.
