a lil personal post b4 bed cuz hoo boy im feeling confrontational 2nite

before i get into the heavy stuff i wanna vent about my period ok? ok.

so we get 2 absences from our volleyball class and i havent used them yet

but im reeeeeally thinking about skipping tomorrow cuz like my period just lowkey showed up today and im exponentially more tired than usual

but also im 10x more violent when im on it so im wondering if maybe volleyball would be fun like maybe ill hit someone (with the ball or otherwise) so hard theyll die and we wont ever have to play volleyball again?? or better yet maybe ill die??????????

that would be cool

k enough of that tho lemme tell u this:

heres a fun story

today in my bioinformatics class we got kind of off topic and started talking about how elon musk is the most amazing dude in the world, literally i love him and everything he does intrigues me (whether its good or bad is questionable but i still find it fascinating)

and my friend Z was presenting on the whole like “elon musk wants to put chips in your brain that will make u a supercomputer” thing and she stopped to ask the class what our thoughts were and if it would even be possible

so, me, being the nerdy ass fuckin neurobiologisty person i am, was like “fuck yes its possible and better yet its gonna happen in under 20 years” and i didnt realize it but apparently EVERYONE in that class except the professor is TOTALLY NOT OKAY with bio-enhancements like that???

so i started to explain how it would make us better, like it would create a whole new evolutionary chain of humanity and like how we’d be coexisting with super advanced AIs and shit, and this one girl was trying to fight me on the physiological aspect of it,,,,

she was like “well uh we dont know everything about the brain so we cant do it” or w/e and i just sort of looked at her and kinda laughed lmao i was like “okay first of all why would we need to know *everything* in order to do this,” then i calmed down for a sec cuz this dumb bitch had me heated

i was like “okay so we may not know *why* things happen in our brains, but we *do* understand the physiology of neurons firing and how we could effectively enhance that to make telepathic communication possible.” i told her about those helicopter things that you control with ur “brain” and how that shit is total crap but the science is real, people are capable of doing body augmentation on that level (i talked about that one buzzfeed video where the guy had a credit card chip thing in his hand and paid for all his shit like that)

so after like 10 minutes of me going on and on about how technology is getting infinitely more advanced every day, my professor steps in and he faces the girl i was debating with and he flat out says to her face “you know she’s right” and he proceeded to talk about all the same shit i was saying but in that like snooty im-a-professor-and-i-know-this-more-than-you-even-tho-you-just-said-this sort of way

long story short,

elon musk is a genius, im always right, all hail our new robot overlords

#personal #a fun story #college tag #body augmentation

chenle confessINg

wow looking back at this i rly got carried away :”))))). i love china line so much thank you for requesting this hunty xoxo :-))) i hope you enjoy!!! - admin amy

- ok so you how you met chenle

- in english class you had to go into groups for a project

- the teacher assigned the members of each group in order to break up the cliques

- unfortunately you were separated from your best friend

- u were like NOOOOO MY FAV :(

- bUT you met the one and only zHONG CHENLEE WOOO

- your teacher gave y’all some time to get to know each other, to brainstorm for ideas for the project and assign roles

- you had seen the other people before but one person in particular caught your eye

- i wonder who

- he was smiling from ear to ear and he just exuded energy it was hard to take your eyes off of him but you hadn’t exactly noticed him b4

- when he introduced himself he did a mini dab

- & u were like this boi is a special one

- so by the end of the session you & chenle were going to work on a part of the project together WEE

- so y’all had a lil bit of time left to talk so you went into ur lil sections

- when chenle approached you he was ok kinda calm still holding it together

- however when you talked he just started giggling hysterically

- “chenle r u ok?”

- so y’all exchanged numbers adn set a date to meet to work on ur section

- in the time frame before working on y’all’s section he would always dab in your direction in the hallway

- at first you thought it wasnt for you

- but you caught on soon enough & started dabbing back

- tHe first time you dabbed back chenle got sOOOOO EXCITED

- he legit ran over to you and shook you by the shoulders

- “NO ONE HAS EVER RESPONDED TO ME BEFORE OH MY GOD”

- y’all had this shared moment of elation it was beautiful

- ok ok so when y’all meet at the library to work on the project

- you worked on it for like 30 minutes before the conversation veered off tangent

- don’t worry you completed your work first looool stay in school kids give your best effort

- somehow or rather you were talking about dolphins????

- anyway you soon found out you shared the same sense of humour as chenle

- so when y’all were in class together y’all would just be giggling all the way

- it rly doesn’t matter what anyone says y’all would just be giggling

- cue the oh my god meme

- even after the project ended and which you got an A in thanks chenle y’all still hung out

- sent each other memes

- 100 day streak on snapchat omg!!!!

- however suddenly chenle got so shy around you

- he was hesitant to do dabs now wtf????

- he would blush whenever he saw you and run away

- he would also stutter when he had to talk to you

- and he eventually just started ignoring and avoiding you aw :(

- you thought you did something wrong so u asked renjun

- renjun was like OOOOOHHH GIRL U DONT EVEN KNO

- you were still confused tho

- you felt so sad bc you started to heart bbbeat for this boi

- he was so cute, handsome, so energetic, y’all could talk about anything for hours

- you were rly :((((((((((

- so renjun legit had to sit chenle down after school in one of the empty classrooms bc nothing was happening after 2 weeks of this and asked him whats wrong bOi

- chenle cant rly hide anything from renjun so he just spills everything

- “bro she’s rly rly rly so beautiful anD she laughs at all my jokes!!!!! she doesnt overuse memes!!! but what if she doesnt like me :((((((”

- at this point renjun was prolly like dis boi dumb af

- so renjun had to encourage chenle to confess to you

- it took 3 hours prolly + chenle screaming

- so one day you found a lil note on ur desk in chenle’s handwriting that said

- “meet me at classroom 02-06 @ 2pm - chenle”

- in normal situations you’d be hesitant to go but since this is the first chenle initiated contact you had in decades, you were so fired up to go

- when u got there the door was closed and the lights were off

- so u opened the door slowly to peek inside incase donghyuck’s pranking u again

- and you find chenle surrounded by fairy lights with a guitar in his hands

- &&& he starts singing got7′s confession song

- you legit melt BUT AT THE SAME TIME UR FREAKING OUT LIKE DOES THIS MEAN WHAT I THINK IT MEANS

- you tbh start crying in the middle of the song cause you're so soft for chenle

- he suddenly perks up like dID I DO SOMETHING WRONG

- stops playing and rushes over

- “iM SORRY IM SORRY IM SORRY i didn't mean to ignore you or to run away from you :(((( as you can prolly tell i-i like you. i have for a long time now and i just- i- if you want to reject me its ok we can still be-”

- you cut him off with a tight ass hug

- he was like oH she dOES LIKE ME AND HE STARTS BEAMING

- you look up and his face is so red and his smile is so wide

- ur kinda nervous but manage to say “i like you too”

- he just looks down at you like youre the most precious thing he has ever had in his arms and wraps his arms equally as tight around you

- y’all are so happy

- but then you hear a lil sniffle from the back of the classroom

- so you slowly pull apart from chenle and on the lights

- guess who it is

- iTS the DREAM TEAM

- donghyuck has tears running down his cheeks

- marks like “bro y u crying”

- stfu mark at least i have feelings

- “hey at least i caught it on camera” - renjun

- you just laugh lightly and return to chenle’s embrace

- the dream team is rly happy for y’all they even prepared a cake

- so when y’all are sitting around eating cake

- chenle just looks at you and gives you this look filled wiht pure adoration and love

- leans in to peck your cheek

- ‘OOOOHHHHHHHHH SHITTTTT’ - jaemin

- y’all both turn beet red

- you didnt rly care abt their teasing bc at least u have chenle by ur side now

Hello to all!!! It’s been a crazy few months and I haven’t had the time to really go on Tumblr much less post about everything going on in my life but i am going to today!!

I’m currently finishing up my senior year of high school and lemme tell u - it’s been wild!!! But so fun. This last Relay for Life was probably my favorite one yet & I wish I could just have one more. When I went my freshman & sophomore year I was still so, so shy and only talked to people I already knew. This year, though, I talked to the new speech & debate kids and they were some of the sweetest people I have met in high school!! I always get so nostalgic for speech and debate when I am around the newer kids in the club. I can’t lie - being in that club was the only time throughout my whole high school experience that I felt as though I was a part of something good. I quit because it did stress me out a bit and I wanted to join photography my sophomore year and just always kind of found an excuse not to go back after that (even though I always knew I should’ve). Prom was nice - we ate at the Venetian and danced our lil hearts out at Panis Hall. I felt moderately pretty. I got into an argument with my best friend, Vincent, that night - he’s been a real dick lately & I couldn’t put up w it anymore that night in the Red Rock parking lot!!! I have been holding a few grudges against him since then but this weekend I have gotten some time to think it over for the first time & I think I’ve made my peace with him!! After prom was the Disney trip - which has been a WILD ride for a few months now. There was a lot of fishy business going on w the stuco advisor but finally - LITERALLY 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE BUS LEFT - I got a seat on the bus!!!! I wasn’t ready at all because I didn’t want to pack a bunch & get excited just to end up having to go to math that day - but I had such a good time in my bummy school clothes & 2 best friends!!! Even if I didn’t get to take pictures and we didn’t get to finish exploring California adventure because we were all grumpy and tired. The bus ride with Vincent was so fun and I didn’t really think about all the things I was upset at him for. On the 24th, then, we had grad walk AND senior awards!! I did the travel grad walk with Ni-Ni and we got to go to our elementary and middle schools + pat diskin in our caps and gowns with all the current students lining the halls cheering us on!! It was so pure. The elementary schoolers were so so so cute n proud of us & it was the first time it rly set in that this is happening!!! Plus I saw my 4th grade teacher and she remembered me BY NAME. I foreal cried on the way back to the bus bc of it. Awards night was nice too - I sat next to a kid I hadn’t talked to since middle school but it wasn’t awkward and we made jokes to each other all night!! It was kinda cute. Like it really felt like we were all in this together. I luvvvved cheering on my friends & just other kids in my classes who I may not talk to much but it still feels like we’re on the same boat supporting each other!! I got my Ronald Mcdonald award that night + my hispanic educator award (two scholarships totaling $1500!!!!) I also have to go to a HUGE district wide ceremony & read part of the speech that won me the hispanic educator award the day after graduation!! Yikes but I’m excited. I think that’s basically all the senior events left except maybe the senior bbq??? But that’s not a big deal. I’m not sure if there’s a senior sunset and I know I posted about being upset that I didn’t go to senior sunrise but on the bus ride home from Disney, I woke up for a split second and saw the sunrise over the California desert with my best friend sleepin next to me, his arm latched onto mine & maybe that’s enough.

BUT YEAH. IM FUCKING GRADUATING. My checkout card is signed !! My 7th grade english teacher who i am super close to has her flight booked !!! Can u believe it!!

Work-wise, I was having a really hard time for a while. I was desperately looking for another job & was about to transfer because the theatre made me want to kill myself!!! My exs friends and my managers were talking so so so much shit abt me. They said some of the worst things they couldve possibly said about me - and were so condescending at a time where i was extremely insecure because i was hung up over a boy that treated me like shit & had just lost so many friends. I couldnt even imagine staying until summer - but the universe helped me out and made it so that 2 of my most condescending managers transferred & i stopped getting scheduled so much with my exs friends and things just got… better. I stopped crying everyday - or any day - at work and actually turned down an interview because i figured id just wait until july to look for another job (thats how long im required to stay at my current to qualify for a 10k dollar scholarship i think i have a good shot at getting!!). I dont feel trapped and dread going to work anymore anymore and its so so so relieving. For a second there, it really had such a strong hold on my life and im so glad thats over. It was not healthy at ALL

Driving wise - ive been driving a lil bit a few days a week now and im really enjoying it !! It is not as scary as i thought itd be. I still have a lot to learn but i think im doin pretty good + i have 3k saved up for a car & im so excited !!!

This summer is also gna be super fun - im gna throw so many parties bc all of my bffs are leavin im august for college + spend a week explorin LA w my sister which im so excited abt !!! Im super broke atm bc i had to borrow a bunch of money from my mom for grade nite & am trying to pay it back asap but hopefully any grad money will be enough to cover it so i can buy books n cute knick knacks freely while im on vacay!! Especially since my body decided to hit a second fuckin puberty this winter & none of my summer clothes fit me anymore :( ive been dressing so bummy lately bc of it but ive been too busy to care. I gotta get clothes b4 going to LA tho!!! Other than that though i really just want this summer to be abt me. I feel like even tho i KNOW i need time to myself, i always try to get the most out of literally ANY possible relationship in my life :( its such a bad thing but i hate passing up opportunities like that bc what if, u know? To love and be loved in return is what I always thought i wanted most in this world!!! But i think i just need to consider where situations like this are really going before i compromise the time i set aside to work on myself for it. SO unless i can really see something going somewhere, this summer is goin to be about reading, writing, filming, and taking care of myself !!! I want to eat better (vegetarian & vegan whenever possible!!) and exercise and take care of my skin and just get shit done in general (maybe learn to knit finally???) Im even gonna start a bullet journal!!! I think it will help keep me feelin like myself as well as stay productive & organized in college + its just such a cute hobby Not to mention my sister is ENGAGED?????? My BEST FRIEND IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!!! I will save the sappy stuff for later posts/my maid of honor speech but she really deserves this more than anyone. It hurts to see her movin out after 18 years of sleepin 10 feet away from her - if it were any earlier than this i wouldnt have been able to handle it - but im excited to be independent & im sure we’ll be sendin each other funny memes and visiting each other 24/7!! She is my best friend after all, and im just so happy to see her happy that i cant even be that sad abt losing our early morning laughs and late night talks - at least not yet!! Maybe it just hasnt set in yet

#personal #update: theres no senior sunset my school sucks

Designing a Greeting Card Kiosk

By Alexis Kim

OVERVIEW:

I am designing and prototyping a greeting card kiosk. It will be a vending machine that sells cards and stickers to high school students. I researched purchasing general purchasing behaviors and then tested my concept to refine the

EARLY RESEARCH:

Papyrus:

Huge selection of greeting cards.

Birthday section is biggest.

Cards are very unique and artful.

Lots of different styles of design.

Humor/joke designs, minimalistic, physical decorations, art heavy, vintage, graphic design, animals, shiny etc.

Feels more marketed towards female purchasers.

Empty. No customers inside at 10:30 am.

Older Lady in her 60’s. Walgreens, 9/19/18: “It’s so difficult to find a good card. Usually buy from Nordstrom. It’s more expensive but better selection and designs. Buying card for a friend who is having a 60 something birthday. Like Papyrus much more. It’s more beautiful and has lots of beautiful cards. Every one of them is beautiful but each one is $10 - $7. $4.99 is an ok price. I’ve been looking here for half an hour. I have problems with knees that’s why I’m here at Walgreens (easier to get to). Ideally a perfect shopping experience, every card is beautiful. A less nice looking card is ok for someone I don’t really know. Less wording inside is better. Going to look at Papyrus now.”

Middle aged man with British accent. Target, 9/19/18: “I bought these [2 humor cards] because I have a warped sense of humor. It’s for my 17 year old son’s birthday. I spent less than 10 minutes looking for them. I��ll give the first one to him 1st thing in the morning. It’ll be the first thing he see’s and he’ll laugh all day about it. And the second golf card is to accompany his gift; I got him a voucher for golf lessons. It’s a spur of the moment thing, and I buy cards for close family only. It’s typical male humor. I’m happy with it.”

Young professional Female, late 30’s. Target, 9/19/18: Observations: She’s scanning and browsing. Take a step back to see. Look at messages in the Thank You section. Scan first. Message is important.“Giving this to thank a close friend who has been really supportive. I’m going through a big career change and its to thank her for believing in me. My eye goes to the bit above the fold. I’m attracted to fonts, bright colors. I like a mix of modern and unique. I like puns sometimes. I don’t like preachy, cliche, or old, traditional looking cards that my grandma would give. Would rather write my own sentiments. If there’s a lot of words I’ll just glaze over it and lose interest. Sometimes I find something very thoughtful and written in a way I wouldn’t have thought of and appreciate those. Trader Joe’s has really killer 99 cent cards that I’ll buy a bunch of in advance. I’ll pay $3.99 for an nonembelished card. Something fancy like with rhinestones $4.99. Those kinds of cards are for someone really special and if I gave it to them in person. If mailing, I’ll pick something really flat. Looking here at Target because I’m picking up something for lunch. It’s convenient. Papyrus normally has good stuff. Paper Source has unique/off beaten path and random ones. I’ll buy a months worth of cards at Trader Joe’s and line them up for the month. My friends are so grateful to get real mail these days. It’s so worth it to make them feel so good for just $1.50. Minted - it’s an online order stationary store. Funny and unique. I like to buy cards in advance and hold onto it for months. For example, if I find a good romance one for my boyfriend, I’ll give it to him later. These days I’m also attracted to funny cards if I want to have fun or want to give someone a laugh."

CONCEPTING

CONCEPT TESTING

Q1: What do you think is going on here? (to learn if your concept is clear)

Q2: What questions do you have? (find out where it's not clear)

Q3: What would you change and why? (find out how they would improve it.)

Q4: Who do you think would use this? (if they would, they will tell you so. If not, listen and learn.)

Q5: Any ideas to add? (capture their ideas; you do not need to use these ideas, but you must listen to them.)

Gina K.17, texting her while she’s in yearbook class; 9/24/18

“So basically someone can buy these stickers or whatever is gonna be on there for cheap b/c like most students don’t keep a lot of money on them or just don’t have a lot in general. These stickers can be for like things to make things look better (in the storyboard) but in general for funnies. I think things like stickers can be used for many things. B/c right now a lot of people like to put stickers on their water bottles. The origami one is unclear. The secret message I like but I’m not sure if people would get the point?? Or like use it b/c I feel like there are a lot more ways now to do secret messages or something. idk we just like use our phones lol. I think it’s a great idea but I’m not sure if a lot of people would use it. And as for the storyboard… Not many people write letters now. I think if you do something handwritten it might be more of a girl thing nowadays??? Thinking about it I do think boys would use it but it does appeal more to girls in terms of most of the things you could use with these products. I think for the way you’re using the stickers in the storyboard you might wanna replace them with girls? Maybe not thank you cards but I can see birthday cards for those who forgot about someone’s birthday. I don’t know about boys but we girls typically just give them their gift and are like happy birthday! And sometimes watch them open their gift. I do find it a pain when it comes to getting bday cards b/c I have to go out to get them lol. And i try to make them but sometimes I just don’t have time. Depends but yea [we give presents] at lunch or b4 school. Lunch is more probable tho. My friends and I still give birthday cards, and I have some but they are just really kiddy lol. Like for someone in elementary school. So if it’s someone I’m not close to I don’t feel comfortable giving it to them lol. We have birthdays almost every 3 months or so. I think the product is ok. The storyboard you might wanna change them to girls and make it like a card instead but you can still incorporate stickers. If you wanna keep them as boys it would be like oh crap I forgot it’s so and so bday and get them like a card with stickers (like its the gift) and give it to the friend. I think it’s good to have the part where it shows that you can buy the product for a cheap price. It’s common for someone not knowing someone’s birthday until the day of. B/c most people don’t tell others what their birthday is unless they ask. The forgetting and the convenience of it is good b/c we are at school 5 days a week and at least like 6 hours lol. I think girls would use this mostly.

Valentyn T.32, phone call; 9/24/18

"The storyboard is trying to describe how using a sticker can increase value of letter. What’s the relationship between Shawn and Fred? It’s kind of weird. Feels girly. It’s feels fine if it's two girls who are friends. It’s also weird if a boy was writing to a letter to a girl. When I was student girls like stickers; boys don’t like stickers. Maybe you should make stickers have more value to differentiate them. Like some stickers can be really rare like pokemon. Or make some of them tattoo stickers. Target seems pretty limited to school kids."

Stacey T.31, texting her while she’s at work; 9/24/18

“Probably the one thing that sticks out it is the ‘I’m so poor’ comment. It has god in it, and it also is making a social commentary that spending only $5 is cause for someone to say with despair ‘God I’m so poor.’ I might be the wrong person to ask for feedback on Something like this because I’ve also been poor, though not as poor as there are people in the world, and hearing something like that riles me up. But everything else is lovely. Pretty straightfoward (what’s going on). Though it’s hard to tell where everything is happening. If you didn’t tell me at the start that this machine is in a high school… Maybe it’s a San Francisco thing, but growing up, I wouldn’t be able to bring cupcakes to a friend. I took the bus to school, and I didn’t have a way of getting to a grocery store or cupcake store bakery whatever. I wouldn’t connect with this experience unless I grew up in a city with those amenities. Nor did I even have $5 to spend, maybe in the summer when I had a job. But I think all of what I just said is coming from the far that it’s disjointed, the comic strip/storyboard. I liked the big hug in the end. [Who would use this?] Kids collecting stickers and fighting over who has the most coolest ones; Kids with money; Kids wanting to hack the machine so they can get them out for free; Maybe teachers. Beware of the angry parents who might not like things being sold to their kids in a school setting."

REVISED CONCEPT

I changed the persona to a female as all of my test subjects remarked that the cards and stickers would more likely be bought be females. I made sure to include in the Persona details about the student’s busy life and inability to get around independently. I also changed the storyboard to reflect the last minute and convenient nature of the purchase.
