it was so over but we're so back

Hi friends! Writing from my advertising class again. I'm lowkey hungover as MF, but we persevere. I will confess... I got home from the bar last night and decided to make myself a nice big pot of buldak ramen, for which I then decided to eat in my bed. I NEVER eat in my bed. Until now, apparently. Now I'm pissed cause I spilled that shit everywhere. It's all up on my tan comforter. DHMU. It even got on my big pillow, and I'm not sure if it's even washable. Catch me stripping my bed later and washing it in my boof ass laundry room in the basement of my apartment building. Like WYM I have to pay $2.50 to wash my fucking clothes. Does GSR want me to die??? Speaking of GSR, why TF would they send me a $50 late fee when I paid rent on time? I called, and they got rid of it, but still. They need to figure their shit out cause I'm TIRED. Shoutout to them for taking $185 off my rent this month for all my troubles, tho... They kinda ate that one thing... 

Anyway, I feel disgusting. Need to shower so bad. And I need to go back to bed, but that one is unfortunately not in the cards for me today. It's lock in o'clock. Will be attending all three of my classes today. Can we get a round of applause?? A standing ovation?? I sure deserve it. I also have an AAF meeting tn for Tina's agency. I lowkey just wanna lay in my bed after class, but I skipped it last week, so I must pop out. No slacking. After my AAF meeting, I will be doing about 4 loads of laundry. So fun. I then will probably do some homework? Maybe finish my assignment due yesterday? IDK. Only if I'm feeling kinda crazy.

Alright, on to the fun stuff. I recently started a secret TikTok editing account. Except it's not so secret anymore cause I've now told like 5 of my friends. Anyways, I posted my first edit like 2 weeks ago. It was a climate change edit. Hella aesthetic and meaningful. Really hits the heart. I've watched it probably like 50 times. I always obsessively watch my work over and over again after I finish a project. Yesterday, I decided to make a Midsommar edit. I want to get into the business of movie and tv editing. It is so fun. I haven't really done anything like this before, so I had to do some research. I always wondered how editors get their high quality clips. There are some accounts on Instagram that will make scenepacks that are in a big file to download. That kinda scares me... I feel like I might get a virus on my computer. So instead, I decided to take the easy route and just look up Midsommar scene pack on YouTube. I found one about 7 minutes long with a ton of aesthetic clips from the film, so I just used my illegal 4k video downloader to convert it into an mp4 and then easily added it to my Premiere Pro project. I found the song I used on TikTok. It is very popular for edits right now, and I've seen a ton of other videos use it. Which is great, cause using a trending audio will make your video more likely to blow up. I love how the video turned out. Most of the work was just finding clips and placing them on the exact beat of the music. This song has a very strong beat, so I had to make sure it was perfect so no one clowns me for my timing being off. I also downloaded a PNG of the actual Midsommar font/logo? Idk what I'd call it. But idk what the font was that they used in the poster, so I luckily was able to find it already made online and then added a cool glitch effect to it. 

TLDR: I know that was a lot of boring info right there, so I understand if you skipped over that. I posted my edit to my editing TikTok page, and the people love it! Here are a few of the comments I got within the first couple hours of posting:

"this is gonna blow up, trust"

"Okay so how did it feel to make THE Midsommar edit?!!!"

"Six likes is CRAZY.. I'm either here before this goes viral or this edit is EXTREMELY underrated"

"And the crowd is...stuck in traffic? THIS IS SO HYPE DAWG!!"

"this isn't even going in the "edits" folder bro this is going straight to "art""

So yeah, feeling pretty good about myself. It doesn't have that many likes rn but I'm hoping all this support will make it blow up a little bit more. I have many ideas to come... stay tuned for youngdogedits!

Okay, this post is getting extremely long rn, so I'm gonna end it off here. Feeling good, feeling unbothered, feeling excited, feeling hopeful. TTYL!
