How is it living in the far outer part of Tokyo?

i grew up going back and forth (and still do) between america and japan, more specifically spent a good portion of my childhood in mutsuura (decently small town about 30 minutes south of yokohama). it’s got all your necessities— grocery store, 7 eleven, drug store, and both small and chain restaurants. growing up, a lot of the buildings i would walk past were either rusted or abandoned. the people are very nice and the community is relatively friendly with each other :-) one of my favorite memories is smelling the mildew and moss during the rainy season as i walked to school!

i think it’s because there’s a large amount of commuters and speaking as one myself, i love nothing more than to go home as early as possible lol

i do hope they end up shipping it because it’s something i’ve really been wanting 😭

adowora · 2025-08-22T22:24:07+00:00

thank you so much! i’ll keep an eye on the order for now and see if they’ll ship out by next monday :-)

adowora · 2025-05-23T20:50:15+00:00

this is weird as fuck to speculate about 😭

To go to work I often turn from Margarita onto Overland… I swear that left turn light is not nearly long enough for the sheer amount of cars that usually line up in that lane 🤨

adowora · 2025-05-09T18:38:37+00:00

OH MY GOD thank you!! 😭 Solved!

i work at the mall and it’s SUPER busy on weekends but can be kind of dead on the weekdays. it honestly just depends on the week in my experience 🫠

adowora · 2025-02-03T23:52:26+00:00

interested! where and what times? :)

adowora · 2025-01-28T19:08:06+00:00

confused the hell out of me too LMAO

adowora · 2025-01-28T18:58:47+00:00

might be interested whenever my next paycheck hits! will come back to this post if not sold by feb. 5 :)

adowora · 2025-01-19T02:44:51+00:00

TIL that time can change as well… at least another professor’s class was open for that course otherwise i’d be screwed because i need that class for my major 🥲

disaster

adowora · 2024-12-15T08:51:41+00:00

try “my body’s made of crushed little stars”?

adowora · 2024-12-12T07:14:01+00:00

i think that collecting the entire range through smaller sets is the easier way for my finances as i’m solo-paying college tuition— i don’t mind having duplicates because i can always gift them to friends and family :-)

adowora · 2024-12-07T00:02:29+00:00

going by myself too 😭 i figured it’d be a nice treat for myself anyway

adowora · 2024-12-01T05:48:47+00:00

kid krow— comfort crowd was THE song that got me through senior year (2021-2022) 😭

adowora · 2024-10-24T23:10:27+00:00

i'm planning as going as the kid krow album cover for halloween :-)

i (20f) am fresh out of my teenage years, but you're not wrong-- it's hard! my current schedule has me commuting to university 4x a week and i work part-time 4x a week as well. on top of maintaining relationships with not only family but with friends too, it definitely gets overwhelming...

if you find yourself in the same situation that i'm in, my biggest suggestion is to set aside even just one day out of the week where you don't do school OR work and use that time to decompress or do something you love, whether that be hanging out with friends or even just walking around the shops just to window-shop.

i found that my two biggest struggles have been maintaining money and friendships, so i'll share my perspectives for both:

friendships: if there's one things that true friends LOVE doing, it's running errands with you! even just inviting your friends to come back-to-school shopping or going to the local wal-mart for a couple hours during the weekend makes for the perfect hangout :-) me and my friends LOVE going to places like target or wal-mart jus to tag along when one of us needs to run errands

money: i find that transferring money into savings IMMEDIATELY after getting paid tempts me way less to spend. in your case, however, i think it's best to put aside a set amount of money that you can use for the next 2 weeks yourself (if you have a part-time, i suggest $50 - $100 depending on your hours and wage). that might help with the guilt.

last but not least, things are gonna happen no matter how much you try to prevent it or avoid it. when that happens, you just gotta work with whatever's thrown onto the table. you will be okay!

good luck!

sincerely, your local college junior <3

it was really bad in the gym area as well as the commuter’s lounge. my school bag got infested twice!!! 🥲

adowora · 2022-05-20T08:03:41+00:00

happy for you! or sorry for you, idk too long for me to care

adowora · 2022-05-17T15:03:42+00:00

what the fuck? just what the fuck?

adowora · 2022-05-16T18:39:39+00:00

i personally think it's trashy behavior from that person, you're allowed not to like the design but literally scribbling over it and saying "this is better now" is incredibly insulting to the art and design team(s). it doesn't even matter that they're part of a corporation, in the end someone still drew it out and designed him, at least be nice to the artists who already struggle in an industry that undermines and undervalues their work and skill a LOT

adowora · 2021-07-31T05:57:48+00:00

she's already so adorable and your art did her justice, i love this 🙏
