would inarguably make my life better

• axe
  • got logs to split lol
• rotary tool
  • got split logs to uh. rotary. rotarize
• drill
  • u get the picture by now
• dishwasher
• ✔ microwave
  • our old one was disgusting and uncleanable bc it was so rusted that when you'd try to clean it the metal starts falling off lmfao
• ✔ ventilated backpack (eyeing: this one)
  • ostensibly for hiking but honestly i am just tired of sweaty grocery runs
  • wait i've had that mec one on the list for the better part of a year and it's only now, with it on sale and in my cart, that i realize it isn't even ventilated in the first place. rip
  • finally bought one. but not that one
• ✔ shorts
  • where did all of mine go, and why did they go there during the hottest summer of my life
  • got a pair from fai when we were packing up her stuff and they fit perfectly and i was so happy. anyway i forgot to pack them when i left
  • got them when i visited last!
    • update: they no longer fit perfectly. back to square one
• ✔ bed frame
  • too overwhelming to figure out what kind i want so i've just been sleeping on a broken one for a decade
• ✔ prescription sunglasses
  • ordered on a whim without even trying them on and they're perfect. rose-colored and all
• ✔ incense burner
  • i have a nice one but it's so tiny that i can't use it as i like (leaving dried bay leaves in it and just tossing matches in there after i light candles or incense)

would arguably make my life better

• dutch oven
  • would i use it enough to justify the cost? absolutely not
  • but... what if i got one though
• ✔ cargo pants
  • i don't need more pants but i DO need more pockets
  • did in fact improve my life immensely as soon as i bought them
• ✔ instax printer
  • waste of money probably but i really wanna print this one pic of my cat :(
• ✔ an alarm clock of some sort
  • not sure i wanna return to my youth and go full clock radio but a non-ticking little analog one might be nice
  • if my phone is not my alarm then maybe i will stop using my phone first thing in the morning?
  • bought a cheap tiny ikea one! and have yet to take it out of the packaging

ehhhh maybe it would, maybe it wouldn't

• ✔ dissection kit
  • i will (probably?!) never need one of these but they're like, incredibly cheap on campus? like so cheap that i'm like "well what if i NEED to dissect something one day and i'm stuck paying market value"
• ✔ mascara
  • i have long lashes and wear glasses every day of my life so mascara just means i constantly make the lenses dirty. but also it's the only makeup i enjoy doing and my old tube is dried out
  • solution: sephora samples
• tamagoyaki pan
  • i mean i'd probably only use it once BUT whenever i see someone making tamagoyaki in one i get emotional
• electronic drum kit
  • could actually practice without making enemies on the other side of the walls
  • but would i bother to practice

would make my life worse

• gaming PC
• ✔ skyrim (for the third time)
• hot rollers
  • or a curling iron
  • rip to my nice undamaged hair
