So.....I haven't been active here for a looong time and honestly, it's entirely my fault.
I've been way too busy with university now(I took Foundation Studies for college so it was only one year) and I've had a lot to do. Assignments are a lot more spread out and classes aren't bunched together until I have classes from 8 to 6 like last year but I'm still busy with one thing the most. My dance club activities. I have a performance on the 17th of Febuary so instead of having every evening free, I've had practices from 4 to 7 EVERY Monday to Thursday and it's exhausting.

I think I've actually overworked myself cause I kept getting dizzy and sick during some of the practices and during the entire last weekend where instead of resting, I was forced to help my mother prepare for my brother's birthday AND host the actual party where I had to run up and down the apartment to serve the kids food(they were at the swimming pool DOWNSTAIRS), make sure they're satisfied AND the adult guests UPSTAIRS. Throwing in the fact that I had only eaten breakfast and the party ranged from afternoon to evening, I only got, like 3 nuggets that I stole of the kids food and maybe a few sips of water? The thing is, during that entire time, my mother was working hard too. She was cooking food the entire time and got little breaks but the difference is, I've had practice the entire week before and I had that draining me but did that stop her from scolding my to suck it up and compare my job over hers, no. So, yeah. I pushed myself the entire time, feeling like passing out any minute. The kids didn't help that much either. Only 3 out of the who knows how many kids helped and those kids were the best. They helped me bring down the dishes from the trolley and even clean up.

Party aside, this year was surprisingly not as tough on me as I thought it would be, socially. My biggest fear of this year was the fact that I was going to be in Mass Communication while ALL of the friends I made in Foundation was going into Game Development. So, I was scared that I was gonna struggle to make friends but on Orientation, I found out that only 4 of us had passed Foundation and that was myself, two girls and one guy. I had sat alone near the middle of the large hall and when they came in, they sat next to me and we chatted. I actually asked if I could stick with them cause I didn't know anyone else and neither did they. Slowly, I fit right in with them and had a small group to call my own. Then, the first day of Uni happened and I immediately made 2 new friends! The first friend was from our morning class where only the 4 of us and ONE other student came because there was communication problems regarding the first class(Yeah ironic I know. Mass communication with communication problems right?) So, she befriended us immediately and boy was she a social bunny. We can walk through the school and she would know someone within every 5 minutes of walking. Then there's one more friend that we all made. She's a sweetie and is super pretty. I can't remember HOW we became friends but on our first day alone, the 5 of us GIRLS had already went out for lunch, outside of the compound! All of us actually talked about how unexpected it was because I, personally, had NEVER went out of the college for lunch with friends during the ENTIRETY of my Foundation year and the other two had been told that my college/university students were not that social. So, during the lunch, we all found out that the second girl was into anime and was in fact, a cosplayer. That made me super happy and excited because I didn't think that there would be another otaku within out group but lo and behold, FIRST DAY and I'm already close with another one!

So, yeah. University life is a LOT more easier and lay back. Club is tough but it should settle down after the performance and I'm currently in CNY break for a week. Actually assignment work isn't too tough because there are such long breaks between the briefing and the due date, comparing Foundation where every assignment was due the next week. My social life is a LOT more active as we hang out and even go out together while last time, my group and I would just hand out in the glass room for the hours to the next class, and I even live nearby to the two new friends so there's never any transportation stress where last time, I only had one guy live near me and 1. We were NOT close and 2. He was always busy(being social with his own group and GF).

University aside, I usually have a lot of time on my hands now so a lot of that time is used on youtube and manga so, why no uploads here? Have I stopped drawing? Have I forgotten deviatart? Well,no. I haven't forgotten or stopped but the biggest drawback is that I'm not sure if it's worth uploading any of my drawings anymore. I'm not saying I'm BAD at drawing or questioning my talent(HOLD CRAP THAT SOUNDED NARCISSISTIC) but I've lost my drive for drawing proper art. To me, they all started looking the same and it's always facial expression practice and clothes designs. Same poses and still, horrible proportions. I'll try to draw some stuffs worthy of uploading but for now, prepare for a long wait. Honestly, I'm surprised if anyone even wants to see my art, considering how innactive I am but I'll still try! And for those that are still here, thank you.

TL;DR: I've been busy with a surprising happy University life with new friends. Not as stressed as last year and still drawing a lot but not sure if anyone will be interested in what I'm drawing anymore. Thank you for all of the support and waiting as I'll start working on being more active here. Artwork hopefully in bound?
