**Cannot** believe I went back to shaving with a razor. Stupid, stupid decision. So angry right now. I'm having a break out like NEVER before and ONLY where I shave. I was going so well there for a while just using a trimmer but I got greedy, giving into the slight itchiness of having stubble and went back to wet shaving. It's painfully clear to me know why I decided to grow a short beard in the first place. This is disgraceful. No more. I don't care if I look a little rough with a five o'clock shadow. Better that than...this. I'm gutted.
4 zits on my face and I had zero last week. I have to go to class like this tomorrow. It is never going to end~ :\. I don't have labs tomorrow though, so I should be OK. I do have labs on Thursday, so I am hoping they minimize by 80%. I just can't let my skin control me. I better study. I decided not to study on the weekends because of this. It sucks how only 3-4 zits bother you.. I know people have a lot worse.
Could be SO much better - but it could also be a lot worse so I guess it's ok...
I'm in this weird creative mood lately. I have this urge to paint or just create something! This is odd for me because I've never been a creative type - apart from when I used to write. So I'm enjoying this arty mood 
I HATE HIGH-SCHOOL
I hear ya
I reckon everything is so much better once you're finished with it. I love uni so much more than high school!
Hang in there - do your best with it and you'll be done with high school soon

I second that! College/University is much much better than high school.
Good. Question to anyone whos tried epsom salts. Okay so yesterday I poured a junk load of it into a big squirt container (dunno what you call it) and mixed wit warm water. I sprayed it around my body and face etc. This is my first time and after while it dried up, i took a shower, everything all good. It did make my skin very very soft so I liked it. heres the problem.
I haven't had trouble falling asleep in a long time and for the first time I was having that trouble and felt paranoid and a bit anxious. It was an odd feeling, not too crazy but enough where it caught my attention.
Has anyone experienced this before? I have a sensitive system and I am thinking I used too much salt and perhaps my body absorbed too much magnesium or sulfur? I don't know too much about epsom salt so if anyone here knows a good bit please do share.
Its so crazy how my body is so damn sensitive to everything.
So MOST of the scab on my chin fell off last night while washing my face. It's just pink skin underneath, which is good, because pink can easily be covered up and it will eventually fade to my skin color. The middle of the scab, though, is so weird. When I wash my face it looks pale; almost like my skin color. But it feels VERY sensitive, not like normal skin. Then after letting it air out for 10 mins or so, a new 'scab' formed over only that area that looks somewhat red. Thing is, there wasn't really any bleeding. Maybe some slight oozing I guess. But it's weird....I guess it's the part of my chin that really hit the pavement. And it still stings, and hurts kind of bad 
Overall it doesn't look awful though, it certainly looks better than the big brown scab that's been on my chin since Friday. I'm glad everything seems to be healing quickly. I guess I just need to be positive and wait this out. It'll probably take a few days for this new 'scab' to fall off. I hope everything heals because I don't like feeling this stinging sensation on my chin...it sucks.
Was feeling quite frustrated last night but I guess I'm feeling better. I just need to accept that this happened but it's not the end of the world, it will heal and it's not going to leave a scar (just some hyperpigmentation at most). It's in a less noticeable place than my cheek or forehead or something, which is good. And when this scab falls off it'll probably just be pink underneath too, which I can cover up easily. I just need to soldier this week out because I have a lot of tests and whatnot :/ Ugh....god....skin problems suck. But I WILL survive.
It crazy how every since I stopped breaking out (THANK GOD!) I look at my skin differently. I just appreciate it and don't over analyze my skin or worry if I get a pimple. Because I know worrying won't help and stressing won't help either. I feel good.....I'm getting a pimple right now and I'm not worried, because I know it will go away. were going to continue getting pimples for the rest of our lives its up to us the way we handle it. I'm just tired of living with acne on my mind 24/7. I'm finally living.
Feeling ok skin-wise today. Not stressing over it.
What does have me stressed though is that I have this horrible feeling that weeks ago I submitted an assignment the wrong way - which might mean I don't get marked on it - and it was worth 25% of my grade!! I hope it's ok though and I'm worried over nothing... or that I can work something out with my course coordinator...
ugh geez
Scab on my chin looks a lot better but still stings/itches. I guess this is okay cause it means its healing? I can only hope so. My mom thinks it'll be healed by the weekend, and I certainly hope she's right. Thankfully it does not look too bad right now though. I just need to soldier on through...
After I'm done studying for tonight though I'm gonna treat myself and watch Spirited Away in my bed instead of obsessing about my skin for the night.

Don't worry about it. What's done, is done. Just hope for the best. You still have that other 75% to use to your advantage.

Turns out it's all ok though! I did submit it wrong but I have proof that it was done and submitted on time, even if it was through the wrong submission link. I was able to email the coordinator and show that so she says I won't be penalised for it. Thank goodness!!
But yeah - talk about stressful
Just got back from my vacation back home to Cali. Back in new York after spending a few days in Vegas. My god, my skin looked and felt horrible in Vegas. So dry and so red! The humidity makes my skin feel soooo much better and smoother and healthier. I've got a pimple on my cheek that has been lingering for a few days...not sure what's gonna happen to it. Oh well. I started drinking ACV tonight. I'm going to drink it twice a day. Im also going to start looking for a job tomorrow. Hoping to find a nice office job that pays well. Hoping to meet some new people who have similiar interests as me (sports, concerts, music, UFC) and we can hang. I miss having friendships. All my friends are either back in Cali or away in various states in college. Planning on staying here for 3-6 months and saving up money and then moving to where I want to live.
Feeling good. One big zit on my left temple but it doesn't bother me for some reason. Another, smaller, one on the bridge of my nose. Everything else looks good. Then again, I did just wake up.
What the fuck. I posted this this morning. It looks 10 times worse. What the hell happened? I didn't eat or do anything any differently.
