Have ya'll read the book Diary Of A Pug. I recommend it.

It's a great book! Definitely recommended for everyone!

Hi I'm new .Also are class is reading wonder so nobody tell me what happens.

I was looking back at all the books that I archived on DOGO and it's funny how I forgot the plot of some of the books I used to be so enthusiastic about... I feel like lately I've been in a reading slump, and it doesn't help that my schedule is packed (but I still make time for y'all ofc). I really miss the times when I used to be gripped by a novel, devouring it in a sitting. Maybe I'll pick up a book after my testing phase (no hate, but schools just sometimes don't know when enough is enough). For those who are in the midst of reading a book, happy reading! And I wish the rest a splendid rest of the day <3

I totally feel you! It's been months since I've actually picked up a book for fun. I hope to reread my favorite book "So This is Love" by Elizabeth Lim

Oh, that's the retelling of Cinderella, right?

I've been in a slump, too. I am in the middle of lots of books, but I don't feel like reading. I've been busy, too. I just started track and field and because I'm not only doing one event, I'm doing three (sprinting, long jump, and high jump), sometimes I get tired.

All of my friends do track and they say it's pretty tough. My bestie last year shattered her ankle jumping over a hurdle and another friend has to run miles in like 30 degree weather, so I'm impressed that you're doing it! Nice job!

It is, and I’m just thankful our coaches are so good. Some people I know from volleyball (not friends, though) have gotten hurt—one of them sprained her wrist during sprints a few days ago. We train outside a lot, as long as it’s not below 30°F. We just grab sweatshirts and start training, but even on colder days, we usually end up taking them off. On Wednesday, it was a bit chilly, and the cold air made my throat hurt while I was running. Anyway, thank you! I hope my first track meet goes well.

Is there anything you can't do? (I'm convinced you are capable of doing pretty much anything) You're a gifted musician and super athletic–– I'm mind-blown! But, yeah, it's good to take breaks and not get burned out

Oh my gosh! Thanks! I'm just thankful that volleyball and track are different seasons, so I can have a little rest. But yeah, you're right! It is good to take breaks to not get burned out. I have been doing therapy for a little while now and it's been helping! I am a sensory avoider and emetaphobe, so music and sports help with those! "But, yeah, it's good to take breaks and not get burned out" - Words of wisdom from @dream_beyond 2025!

Haha, tysm<3 I love listening to music to unwind after a long day, it's definitely a vibe!
