April 2025

April 4th, 2025 - I went clubbing with Kennedi as a part of my 21st birthday celebration. We pregamed at her apartment with Tequila and BuzzBalls. The tequila was so bad, but it got the job done.

We were originally gonna go to District8, but the vibes were off, so we ended up club hopping. We went into Tangra, and it was so boring - no one was dancing at all. Not even a little hop. The best club we went to was one that I don't even remember the name to.

But it was okay, because the funnest part of the night was just walking around downtown Ybor at night and talking to random people. We even went into a piercing shop and would've got new piercings if they weren't so slow.

April 5th & 6th, 2025 - I had another birthday celebration with the hometown gang!! We first hung out at my apartment on the 5th and bought loads of drinks. We had coffee flavored Jager, Sake, nasty Indigo Gin, Tequila, and celtzers. Nobody threw up, which was a miracle. We ended up just playing board games and talking.

The next day, we went down to PPark to go see the Minecraft Movie accompanied with the Minecraft meal from McDonalds. I ended up accidentally throwing my phone in the trash at the end of the movie.

We then went to beach in between Reddington and Indian Shores (the best spot). I smoked my first cigar, but I'm not really a fan of smoking anyways. It was nostalgic going back to my hometown as watching a movie on a game that I played (and still play) growing up, and going to the beach I grew up going to. It was genuinely one of the best birthdays I've had.

April 11th, 12th & 13th, 2025 - I got to see Grouplove live as part of USF's Bullstock concert series with Ian!! The concert was so good! The energy from the crowd was amazing and it started raining during Tongue Tied! Even though the concert ended a little early, we were able to get a picture with one of the singers of the band and got free t-shirts.

The next day, I went home to a party my family was throwing for my 21st birthday. Technically, it was a conjoined part for me and Peanut. She got some gifts. I got gifted a Malibu bottle with pineapple juice and coconut to make pina coladas.

The day after, I went back to my apartment in Tampa to go on a food truck festival run with Sammi.

April 19th, 2025 - It was Ian's bday celebration this weekend and we started the day by going to a vintage market near USF. I got a cool black denim jacket. I made Ian a flower vase made out of guitar picks and a Jager bottle for his gift.

He also rented out an AirBnB for his main celebration! It was so much fun because I could actually get drunk, but the aftermath in the morning did not feel good.

April 25th, 26th & 27th, 2025 - I watched Sinners with Kennedi. Before, we had dinner at a nice Indian restaurant. The food was good! The movie was also really good. I'm rooting for it at the Oscars, especially with that music evolution scene.

I went to the Florida Aquarium the next day with Sammi since I have a free membership from working at MOSI. The aquarium was a little underwhelming. They took away the penquin exhibits and it felt a little empty. We ended up walking around downtown Tampa afterwards, but it was so hot so we retreated back to the apartment.

Afterwards, we watched USF's production of the musical 9 to 5. I've been working all semester on making the set, so it was really cool getting to see everything actually be used. The musical was really good! The cast did a great job, and everything worked fine. A wall was swinging a little bit, but that's not my problem.

The next day, I went to the beach with Nejla and Adrianna.

April 30th, 2025 - It's Peanut's birthday!! She definitely did not like the hat I got her, but she tolerated it enough for a picture. She got a new scratching post as a gift and a tube treat!! She's now 5 years old!
