Eunice Lai spends a Friday night alone, making mac and cheese, installing a neon light, and doing her evening routine with gua sha and journaling. She chose staying in over a party she didn't want to attend, finding comfort in solitude and small rituals at home.
I've never felt this garbage in my life. Another Friday, another night in. I'm swear I'm not a loner. Like I do like hanging out with people, but there really is nothing to do here. And I guess the most entertainment I can have is in my room. Hold on, I'm hungry. Yes.
I'm gonna let you know just how much I tell your mama too I'm gonna let everyone know about my love so I really hope you love me yeah, I really hope you love me.
A quick little intermission. Here you go. Thank you.
Why are you vlogging?
Can I see? Goodbye. What are you making? I'm making Mac and cheese.
Oh, that's how much I'm going to tell you.
I don't know how I managed to up Mac and cheese. I already ate half of it cuz I'm hungry. But that's what it looks like. There's like little black particles in it because I low key burnt my chicken because I forgot to. I didn't put enough oil and I was like low key too busy filming to like notice my food. So. Started smoking. Yeah, no, cooking is not my strong suit. But yeah, I don't know. Normally I wouldn't eat Mac and cheese, but I just like I really needed a comfort food today. I don't know. Yeah, I'm just gonna eat. I decided now is the perfect time to maybe install this. So I got a neon light for my room because it's. Well, I wouldn't say it's boring when you wear a dorm room, but I like my color light. So we're gonna be installing this as a perfect night to do so because I'm not doing anything. I just found out they don't even work. Like how they don't even stick. Like, look at this. What? Hold on. Oh, okay. You gotta press it.
Okay.
F foam. How dope is that? Like, that looks incredible. I think. At least I think. But I don't know. I feel like it's time to leave my room now. So maybe I'll go pick up some food for my friend. Hold on. Please leave your message for 516 3. You know what? She doesn't deserve any food. I'll just get some for myself. We're all cold weather now. It is fully raining right now, but that's not going to stop me. I lied. My friend gets some mozzarella sticks. I can never pass off on good company and I don't know, I need a little bit of social need tonight. You know, my stay in on a Friday night is completely self inflicted because I was actually supposed to supposed to go to my school's little racing teams party but I just couldn't muster up the energy to rally for that. And also like, I don't know, like when they were telling us about it, it was originally gonna start at 8, 8pm what kind of party starts at 8pm? But like I asked him why and then he was just like, oh, cause we're not a frat. But I was just like, you don't have to be a frat to be normal. And now with my night routine, so I gua sha my now so I can have nicer skin and relax my face. And I do a daily gratitude journal. And for today my gratitude is to being alone. I also write a daily checklist and something doesn't seem right. There's something about being alone by choice compared to being alone because you have to. And I think what I did tonight was to be alone by choice. So it feels good and it feels empowering, I guess. I don't know. So yeah, I think I did achieve my goal of enjoying myself tonight because I did like my time alone. And I think I much rather be doing this than going to a party that I don't even want to be at. So yeah, I guess that's a check off the checklist. And now comes the hardest part of the night. Picking a good movie. I used Litterbox to find recommendations and look through my watch list and found it.
You say you're tired and you grow when we break I'm here to give everything you need.
