Aspiring 

Someone who is constantly making out as if they are going to achieve something.

Someone who forever gives the allusion they will become grand and better than everyone around them in order to be gazed at in awe without actually doing anything.
Araziel is always talking to her friends and family about how she is aspiring to become a great artist and will be highly regarded as an intellectual in the field. In reality, Araziel (real name Elizabeth) is a first year uni student who just smokes pot and takes selfies in her gym clothes. She has never in reality studied art for a second and knows nothing about it. Therefore Araziel is an 'aspiring artist' and 'ain't done shit!'

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
