 I've never really had any yearly celebrations/traditions for Christmas, but this year was a little different. I made some amazing close friends this year, and I was lucky enough to be invited to one of their houses for a small Christmas gathering with just this friend group. It was quite pleasant, we played "secret santa" and I received a pretty green dress (that I was extremely happy about because green is my favourite colour). My friend's grandma gave us some nice Christmas snacks after which we all just settled in the friend's room. It was everything I love about hanging out with them, no purpose to meeting except just sitting with eachother and laughing about absolutely nothing, and then going to McDonald's for no good reason. We're quite the chaotic group to be around, and that means having mini photoshoots under the orange streetlights in the dingy street next to the McDonald's, subsequently disturbing the quiet neighborhood.  I'm not really...

Mount Carmel College has been an extremely hyped subject in my household (and honestly everywhere else too). Naturally, it caused me to have high expectations. I was pretty excited about the multiple associations the college offered and it made me happy that extracurricular activities were given this much importance, because my school offered nothing close to this. But after studying here for two years, I wouldn't say I feel "let down", but I don't think it's worth all this commotion. That being said, I prefer this college to any other one because we're allowed to express ourselves through clothing, hair colour and even tattoos, which many other colleges strictly prohibit. Moreover, there are no fellow cis-male students which just makes the overall experience at least an 8/10.
