So I decided to try out online dating for the first time (using Bumble). Things I’ve discovered are automatic left swipes:

  • fishing (pictures with fish or on boats, listed as an interest, etc)
  • conservative (speaks for itself)
  • christian (this might bug some people, but I’m not religious and just prefer to avoid it, especially christians)
  • Surfing/scuba diving/loves being in the ocean (nothing wrong with those things, but I’m terrified of the ocean and don’t want that to be a big part of my life lol. I live in CA so this is a tough one)
  • pictures from really terrible angles (just put like the bare minimum effort)
  • smokes pot (nothing against those who do, just not my thing. Also in the Air Force and don’t need any potential drama)
  • Has children or puts as wants someday (don’t want em)
  • Golf (pick a more interesting sport)
  • Cowboy hats in pictures
  • Drinking as a personality trait
  • If they go to the gym everyday at 5am (I admire the dedication, but good lord I have to force myself to workout, and it’s literally a requirement for my job)
  • If they have the quote “jack of all trades, master of none” in their bio (just seen it too many times already)
  • Don’t like Costco (who hurt them?)
  • If they seem like super positive wonderful people (they don’t need my negativity in their lives)

So there’s a small chance that I’ll be able to live my childhood dream. I gave up on being an architect when I was applying for undergrad so very long ago. Then any time I looked at Master’s programs I didn’t qualify because my degree is in biology. Plus, I didn’t want to take on even more student loan debt. I recently found out that ASU has a 3 year program specifically for people like me without a background in architecture. I will admit, I looked at the tuition and fees and regretted applying and having hope that I could achieve this goal. And then I found out I got in and I cried because it felt like my dream was within my reach, but the astronomically high cost would likely stop me. It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions lately and it hasn’t been fun. Honestly, I was in a shitty mood all day. But I looked more into my GI bill benefits and if I understand it correctly, I might actually be able to afford to go. So maybe...

So I got animal crossing and it’s very addictive
