Not sure how I feel about it. It’s kind of cool to look at but going to classes in here makes me miserable.

I know I do this to myself, but sometimes I think about it and my appetite goes away. My ability to sleep becomes null. This is a students' residence for a prestigious university in Bogotá. It's very ugly. It's incoherent with the rest of architecture in the city. These are two clowns in the middle of everywhere. The Twin Towers would laugh at this shit 😔. Share with me the ugly pieces of architecture you've seen if you'd like. I'm curious and masochist.

In my stint as a student of the University of Pittsburgh, one of the most common complaints I heard was of the massive school’s sprawling, depressing, almost-Soviet architecture. From the sharp corners of Posvar to the looming Litchfield Towers, spending grey winter days at the school—surrounded by sallow-faced boys smoking cigarettes on the corners—really could make you feel like you had passed through the iron curtain. Thanks to the eccentric tastes of my father, though, I was more captivated than these buildings than depressed. Also, when you’re 19 and desperately sad, it can feel pretty poetic to have that bleak essentialist mood projected into the landscape around you. Really, my only complaint is that Pitt should be taking better care of its concrete. It looks like it’s melting all the time.
My favorite buildings at Pitt:
• Posvar
• Lawrence Hall
• Chevron Science Hall
• Litchfield Towers
• Frick Fine Arts Building

everyones got AirPods on looking down and absorbed in themselves. It’s amazing seeing people’s faces light up when you smile at them. Sometimes they’re almost incredulous.

I just quite like the way my desk looks with the Austin skyline in the background. It's by no means a clean desk, but I like it very much.
There is a target bag over the lamp because when I record videos for my YouTube channel, it acts as a light diffuser. And I just never take it off.
