So I&#8217;ve unfortunately started Genshin Impact&#8230; I tired to put if off for as long as possible, but I had massive FOMO (fear of missing out) whenever I listened to my friends talk about it. I hate starting new games in the middle of classes because I get easily distracted. Why are RPGs so addicting? I&#8217;ve been trying to use it as incentive to finish my weekly goals and stay on track, but it&#8217;s become more of a detriment since I have no self-control when it comes to video games and I end up playing longer than intended. (I&#8217;m yelling at myself, on the inside! :P) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Angel requested that we have a group meeting today, and while I know our deadline is approaching quickly, actually discussing really brought it to the forefront of my mind. It&#8217;s on it&#8217;s way and it&#8217;s going to be here sooner than we know it! Plus, we have a lot more smaller things to finish up than we thought. I know we&#8217;re going to finish it, but I am a little worried that we won&#8217;t be able to do all the cool things that we planned. Such is the course of game development though, right? This is real world experience right here! But no, we have a general plan to guarantee that we at least get the more important goals completed next week so that we can still add some of the nicer ideas. I might actually need to uninstall Genshin Impact until we finish this project&#8230; I just need to tell myself that I can always catch up to my friends <em>after<\/em> I&#8217;ve completed this course. I miss when we were all in school at the same time (haha). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The one thing that I am extremely grateful for, though, is that I&#8217;ve been getting along with my project teammates. I have to admit, one of my main fears for this class was getting stuck in a group that couldn&#8217;t figure out how to work well together. So I&#8217;m really glad that we haven&#8217;t had any massive disagreements thus far. Or at least, we&#8217;ve been really good at working out our issues and finding common ground. Oops&#8230; I hope I didn&#8217;t jinx us now&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My brain&#8217;s kind of been all over the place lately, and I feel like I&#8217;m just in straight chaos mode. Here&#8217;s hoping I can use that to my advantage and channel that energy into working on the game! Thanks for hanging around to listen to me ramble.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my friends recently got sucked into a game and, of course, if one person in our immediate friend group gets addicted to a game, the rest of us end up following.
