listen up freshman babies

on Twitter the #freshmanadvice is terrible and it’s mostly for hazing. but if you’re entering high school I have some advice for you.

• wash your face every night and take of all your makeup.

• do your homework as soon as you get home. I’m serious. I’ve only done it a couple times and I kill myself with all the work I put off.

• procrastination is inevitable but try to avoid it. I’ve had so many avoidable emotional breakdowns.

• if you need help, ask for it.

• study

• that boy/girl who is consuming you entire life right now, probably won’t matter in a couple years. it’ll be okay.

• don’t worry about not being asked to any dances, go with a pack a friends and look fly af. it’ll be okay.

• get involved in things. clubs. sports. theater. chorus. band. there is something for you.

• relax.

• almost every worksheet is online. seriously, just google the title. you’ll probably find it.

• sparknotes is your new best friend.

• the buddy system for notes/homework is always a good plan.

• your grades are important but breathe. you’ll survive even if you get a D on a test. if you don’t get straight A’s. it’ll all be okay.

• don’t date seniors. don’t do it.

• you can do it, it’s not as scary as it seems.

Also Winter has dreadlocks because I have dreadlocks XD

PS: I don’t know why the futterwhacken the pictures show up blurry on the time line - to see them in proper detail just open the images in a new tab or sommat. kk. PSS: did y’all notice the missing nail on Midnight’s Paw? XD

$50,000 immediately dropped into my bank account wouldn't improve EVERYTHING but boy it sure would be a grand, sexy little start to a good, happy life path, don't you think

Putting a hardstyle track over this Bollywood movie worked amazing [x]

if a teenager is at your door and they are wearing a costume!! please give them candy!! they are still in it for the halloween spirit and it honestly no different from a little kid in a costume. they are just as excited and happy as all the other lil tykes and dont you dare tell them they are “too old for trick-or-treating” because that will literally break their hearts and that’s not cool.

well this would have been useful if I hadn't thrown out my syllabus... but good for next year

not to be that annoying bitch but just like some unsolicited advice for all my high schoolers out there:

no one told me this until literally my last year of high school (im highkey bitter but MOVING ON) BUT you know how ur teachers all give you syllabuses on the first day? and everyone’s like ok this is going straight into the bin whatever?

if you actually look at the grading breakdown and  like reference it throughout the year, you can calculate your final grade for that class. like you can figure out that if you have this test average currently, and this is what you have on all your other work, then this is what you need on the last test to still get an A/B/C. so you never have to be in the dark about whether x assignment will bring your grade up enough or about how well you have to do on the final to still get the grade you want. 

idk i hope this helps someone it’s just been really helpful to me in keeping my grades up this year

One of the main complaints I see a lot from ST fans is that many of the characters are either useless or have had nothing to do over the course of the show. I wonder if said fans ever took the time to consider the fact that:

Mike’s intelligence, optimism, compassion, unorthodox method of thinking, and commitment to his friends saved the Party from bullies and the great evils of the Upside Down, the Demogorgon, and the Mind Flayer.

Lucas used common sense and rationale to aid in finding Will, and was supportive of Max and Mike in their respective times of need.

Dustin’s keen sense of observation helped to resolve conflicts within the Party, keeping them on track to finding Will, and his book smarts later gave more clarity on the impending dangers of Dart and the Mind Flayer.

Will’s heightened sensibilities informed and prepared the Party for what they were up against in fighting the Mind Flayer.

El’s empathy, loyalty, and protectiveness saved her loved ones on several occasions, both physically and emotionally.

Max’s independence and willingness to extend a hand in friendship made El realize that she could have a life outside of her boyfriend.

Joyce’s maternal love and unwavering faith in the impossible aided in Will’s return and subsequent well-being.

Hopper’s protectiveness and a strong sense of duty resulted in Will’s return and El remaining safe for nearly a year after her disappearance.

Jonathan’s displays of kindness and courage, as well as a sincere fondness for all things abnormal, provided a solid foundation for his family (both biological and surrogate).

Nancy’s fierce determination, intellect, and passion for justice led to uncovering the truth behind Barb’s death and the growing threat of the Mind Flayer.

Steve’s willingness to reconcile his poor decisions and become a mentor figure to Dustin showed us all that self-reformation is possible.

Robin’s unconventional skills and academic intelligence helped to expose the truth behind the Russians’ involvement with Starcourt Mall and their plans to reopen the Gate.

At the end of the day, this is a large ensemble cast of characters. While one can argue that some individual storylines could have been executed differently, it’s impossible for everyone to get an equal amount of screen time. A character’s purpose isn’t always measured by how many times they can throw a punch or swing a nail bat. Their mental and emotional strengths are just as important, if not more compelling and vital to the show overall.

Some tried and tested art tips <3

1. Don’t force inspiration, just immerse yourself in things you enjoy and it’ll come to you naturally.

2. Experimentation in different art techniques is a good way to find a style and medium you are comfortable working in. Be brave and try out stuff!

3. Every artist has a file/drawer/bin full of failed or embarrassing attempts. However much you want to destroy them, it’s good to keep a few of them so you can look back and see how far you’ve come! Or better yet, something you once hated could reveal itself in a new light and turn into something you love.

4. If you’ve hit a ‘block’ whilst working on something and you start feeling frustrated with it, either work on a completely different area of your artwork, or put it down and have a break from it. You’ll come back to the part you were struggling with and see it with a clearer head, and be ready to tackle it again. At least overnight is how long I give it.

5. Ever wanted to try out charcoal? Or pencil? Or markers? Or polymer clay? There is nothing stopping you getting some supplies and giving it a go! It’s recommended that you buy a cheaper version of whatever you want to play with, so you save money if you decide it’s not for you. But! You can also buy a small amount of a decent quality medium. Just one grayscale Promarker, for example, could be used to add shadows to your existing drawing technique and give you a feel for it. Or just one block of light colour Fimo clay will go a surprisingly long way and if you have paints at home, you can try those out in your finished piece. Then you haven’t spent LOADS of money, but still have quality items to play around with.

6. Every artist feels intimidated by other people’s art, but instead of feeling put off, remember that person had to start somewhere, and most likely also has insecurities about their own work.

7. If you’re having a bad day, or are suffering with depression, or going through something awful in your life, absolutely use art as a way to channel your emotions. People think that this means “I’m feeling sad, so I have to paint something sad, then it will help me feel less sad because the sad is on the canvas”. Creating something happy, or some fanart of something you love, or something indulgent will have the same therapeutic effect, and you may even find it more helpful, just let yourself get lost in whatever it is.

8. Putting artwork online for exposure is always daunting. You’ll usually get different “vibes” from different platforms, so it’s worth posting your work in various places. If you are happy and proud of a piece, never let anyone else make you believe otherwise. 99% of interactions you get will be positive or constructive, and that other 1% are usually from people just trying to get a reaction, or have no talent themselves.

9. Don’t let anyone tell you that art is a waste of your time, or that it won’t get you anywhere in life, or that it’s pointless. That’s what’s so nice about art, it doesn’t have to have a point! It can have so many different applications, and comes in so many different forms, and there’s no time limit or pressure if you’re just creating stuff for the fun of it, so it’s always there when you need it.

10. 9 tips didn’t feel like a full list, so this is just an extra point to tell you you’re an awesome person and that you can do it <3
