Random Discussion

Hello! Oddasat calling. I'm back.
Again. Like for the 3rd time.

Well, I've been hanging around on the Discord server quite a while already, but recent increased activity there due to forum chat migrating there inspired me to get more active, so I've been peeking here a little bit more lately.

I'm not sure if I'll participate on contests that much though (I'll be in about 1-3 contests for sure in the near future but that is pretty much my current limit) because I have noticed that I start to feel overwhelmed quite (too) easily if I'm involved in many things at once and this is actually one reason for my disappearances. Also dealing with depression was another (back then when I deleted my original account) but it's been better for a good while now.

The last two years I simply have been busy with school stuff. Currently I am very close to graduation, in fact, literally the only thing that is missing now is the diploma. Because there is not much going on in life at the moment, I'll certainly be hanging around here actively until August at least. Probably even after that too, but my life plans for the next Autumn are still pretty open.
Btw, I'm open for discussion so if you want to talk with me, feel free to hit me up on Discord or send a forum PM.  

Thank you for reading x

Serious post.

I have a life, and in that life, I have some goals I want to achieve. However, one of the things that's holding me back is what I call my addiction to laziness. I get distracted and procrastinate on so many important things too often. There are things I want to do in my life that deserve so much of my attention, but constant distractions slow me down. My phone is my #1 offender. It delays my sleep, prevents me from progressing through my productive activities, and often, it leaves me feeling dissatisfied and ashamed.

The skills and knowledge I gained from going to college is not something I should just set aside. I have so many ideas on what I want to do, but I keep holding myself back through my mere laziness. Personally, I have things that I need to change in my life, and my #1 objective in achieving my ambitions is to get less distracted.

I’m taking baby steps in doing what I can to be less distracted, and that starts with my phone. Starting today, I’ve deleted the apps which I’ve used the most, and that includes YouTube, Facebook, Messenger, Reddit, and yes, Discord, too. Those activities will be exclusive to my desktop, meaning I will likely to be less active in the chats. I intend for this change to be permanent. I want to use my time better for other, more productive things.

This forum is a wonderful community, so I’ll definitely stick around and continue to be an active member. I admit, I've spent more time in the forum than necessary (I try to allocate up to half an hour each day here, but I go over too often), so I have to self-discipline myself in my time management skills. I also still want to continue running NNMC since it's one of my main outlets for finding awesome music, so having a group of users help organize with me is such a blessing that I can't thank them enough for. It was such a good idea. Frankly, making six different videos (especially three all at once for the semis) is the hardest part each month. Time is a luxury.

Writing out my feelings like this is gonna help me since sharing this information with you all is going to give me leverage to go in the right direction. If I keep this to myself, no one's going to know what's going on with me personally and it's only going to continue to let myself loose. I think I need this kind of pressure to make myself a more successful person.

decided to open coffee shops yesterday, distance between tables has to be minimum 2 meters, and it looks nice. Plus, today I got some great news, State University of Tuzla decided to let all students transfer to next year no matter how many exams they still have to pass from current year they're at. Just good news for me, I'm happy af today. ^^
