Hey chat, welcome back to my weekly life update—aka the unfiltered chaos that is my existence. Buckle up.
Sunday: McMidnight & A Certified W Moment
Sunday night, I hit up the legendary McMidnight. And guess who was there? The girl I lowkey (highkey) like. We talked, we vibed, and then she hit me with the "Wanna hang out next week?" AHHH. Massive W. Obviously, I was too busy internally screaming to order anything too crazy, so I stuck with the GOATed $5 meal. After that, I went home and crashed because life is exhausting. I’d love to blame the weather, but let’s be real—I’m just out here burning myself out daily.
Monday: Honor Code Drama & Tanning Bed Regrets
Monday started off spicy. I got a text from the dean telling me to pull up to the Honor Code office. Turns out, I was a witness to some drama, and they needed my side of the tea. Can’t spill details because, you know, laws, but just know it was giving "main character energy."
On another note, I had two classes, but did I go? Absolutely not. Motivation? 0/10. Seasonal depression? 100/10. Instead, I went to work, grinded out some video edits, and then made an impulsive decision—I hit up a tanning bed with the homies. Listen, if my mom finds out, I am done for, but it felt necessary. Except I overcooked myself. Like, straight-up tomato mode.
Tuesday: Sunburn Struggles & Marketing Knowledge
Tuesday was pain. My tan was trying to come through, but the burn? It was fighting for its life. Sitting through Marketing Management and SEO while my entire body itched was actual torture. But at least I learned some good stuff about website building and audience targeting—things I’ll actually use for social media.
Wednesday: Honor Code Meeting & RickyPond.com Goes Hard
Wednesday was the big Honor Code meeting, and honestly? The dude I met with was actually funny and chill. Maybe change is coming? Who knows.
After that, I had Web Design and Social Media Marketing. Web Design class was actually useful because we talked about launching websites, which is why rickypond.com is now a thing. Then in Social Media Marketing, we worked on a campaign to sell Ricks College hoodies. Editing content all day was lowkey overwhelming, but we move.
Thursday: Outfit Tragedy & Party Redemption Arc
Thursday started off strong—had a fire fit planned, only to show up and find out class was canceled. My 13th reason.
To cope, I rallied and hit up a party. The vibes were immaculate, and it was exactly what I needed after the week I’d been having.
Friday: Work Grind & Weather Confusion
Friday was a full-on work marathon—9 to almost 7. I was running on vibes alone at that point. After work, we decided to troll some apartment complexes and then go for a walk because somehow 32 degrees felt warm. My brain was fully tricked into thinking it was summer, so I was out there in jeans and a T-shirt... while it was snowing. It made no sense, but the flicks? Fire. They’re up on my Insta @dallin.pond, so go like them up.
Saturday: Running on 3 Brain Cells & The Huzz Moment
Saturday, I went to bed at like 3 AM and woke up at 9. I was running on 3 brain cells. All I did was throw on some clothes, walk to a friend’s, do some homework, and then take more flicks.
Then the huzz called me. And when I say the huzz, I mean THE huzz. We hit up Walmart, bought some beard dye, and dyed my stash. But the real win? We hung out and actually got to know each other better. Chat, she’s the one. She’s a Luzz AND Ruzz—which is literally the ultimate Huzz combo.
Ya boy,
Dallin Pond
