mental health tips i wish i’d been given before starting university

trying is much more important than succeeding

10 minutes of studying > not studying at all

being a college student is more than academics. it’s also learning how to enjoy your own company, learning and occasionally screwing up meals, wandering outside campus like a tourist, questioning your ideals and presuppositions, discovering new talents and skills for the hell of it, and SO much more. if you feel burnt out in one dimension of college life, that’s a sign to spend some time relishing in another dimension.

if you need more time, take a deep breath and shoot that email to your professor/TA asking for an extension. at worst, they say no. and don’t stress over properly explaining yourself/your situation. hell, just email them: “Hi, Professor. I need your help. Sincerely, y/n.” all it takes is that one initial reach out and the rest will follow.

failure does not reflect character. read that again. remind yourself as often as you see fit because at one point or another, you will feel like you’ve failed. it’s growing pains. once you’ve accepted that, learn to view any setbacks as a hint that you need to try a new method/approach. didn’t do well on that math quiz? don’t beat yourself up over it–instead, regroup with yourself and see which metaphorical gear got stuck in your personal learning process machine. for instance, maybe you used flash cards and that wasn’t really your style. act like a detective, not a bully.

THERE IS NO NORMAL TIMELINE FOR YOUR COLLEGE CAREER(!!!!!!). a lot of people need more than 4 years, a lot of people need 4 years, and a lot of people need less than 4 years. and every single one of those timelines are valid. the worst thing you could do is squeeze the living hell out of yourself into some rigid schedule that is incompatible with who you are and how you learn. trust me when i say u will find yourself doing the best work when u do it at YOUR pace.

saw this tiktok and needed y’all to cry too.

I think my favorite genre of headcanons (specifically in the arcane fandom) are older people acting their age.

You give Sevika or Ambessa a phone and them being in the 40's-50's age range, they would most definitely hold it too far from their face, squint, and use their index finger to scroll to whatever videos or images they want to see next. Oh, and they don't consider volume to be an issue either. No headphones. No turning it down. You can't walk down the hall without hearing whatever obscure video they're watching.

Ambessa being a black mom would 100% be one of those to see a kid without socks or a coat on in reasonably calm weather - it's just hit 50 or 60 degrees outside in fall (10-15 Celsius) and her brows would knit together in frustration as she mumbles something along the lines of; "Where is that child's coat?"

Both of their Facebook profile photos would be some variation of the awkward mom/aunt angles where they're holding the camera too low so that they're looking down at it with the faintest hint of a smile (not Sevika though, I fear that lady is not about to smile on Facebook. Hell she doesn't post on social media at all, she just has it to occasionally be nosy)

Both Sevika and Silco need reading glasses. Neither of them wears them when they need to. But when they do the moment they're called on by someone or trying to read something they'll do that thing where they tilt their head down and look over the rims as if that'll somehow make seeing whoever/whatever they're trying to look at easier to see.

Like all the sexy headcanons are fun and all, but I do need more of these. I crave it like water.
