asking for help is morally neutral. needing assistance (even a lot of it!!!) is morally neutral. you’re not a bad person for not being able to do things on your own🫂

Pen to paper, ideas flowing- nothing beats the focus of a good study session

I will never understand the hate for grey hairs. Your hair has sliver in it now. You have the color of stars on your hair. You have proof you survived and grew up. You have proof you are living. How is any of this bad?

how to study + become a better college student

*i’m in nursing school for reference*

before classes/school:

#1. eat a good, hearty breakfast. i cannot concentrate when i’m hungry because i think about lunch or having a snack. i like to carb up for breakfast (carbs give you energy) and have things like pancakes, french toast, bagels, etc., as well as protein (because that keeps you full) like eggs, turkey bacon, yogurt, etc. i like to take a green powder or a multivitamin during this time to give my body what it needs so that i can function for the rest of the day too.

#2. i always bring water with me to class so that i can concentrate and not think about how thirsty i am. it’s super important to stay hydrated so come prepared.

#3. i know the lesson plan and what’s going to be talked about each day, and if your classes are run like that too, read the chapter or look over whatever it is you’re going to look over today in class to give you a general idea of what you’re going to learn today. this will help you feel like you’re one step ahead (which you are).

#4. wake up early enough to be relaxed in the morning. every time i didn’t perform my best in school was when i woke up and immediately rushed to get ready for class and not took the time to allow myself to ‘wake up’. your mornings should be chill, not a race against the clock.

during classes/school:

#1. actually jot down notes— do not rely on just using your phone to take pictures of the board/powerpoint. when you write your notes down, you get a chance to get that information stuck in your head. what i do if my instructor goes too fast on the powerpoints is: i take a picture of the powerpoint, then i write down what she/he says, then when i get home i rewrite what i took a picture of and the notes that i took in class (i’ll talk about this later).

#2. ask questions— who cares if you’re shy or whatever. asking questions will allow you to be more engaged and it shows your professors/instructors/teachers that you actually care (and they might even bump some grades up for you if you show you’ve taken initiative and tried). every question you ask, write your question down and their response in your notes. i’m telling you, this has helped so much and it gives you such a good look.

#3. use your lunch break for what it is— a break. 30 minutes isn’t a lot of time for an 8 hour day so actually rest and enjoy your lunch during this time. you need a chance to reset.

#4. if you can, always ask to review your tests with your professors/instructors. see what you got wrong and talk it through with them. in nursing school, we generally aren’t able to see what we got wrong on our exams and tests without our professor being there to review them with us. please do this.

#5. use a 1 subject notebook for each class and have pens/pencils that you only use for class. your notes in class should be legible but not super pretty. make your notes pretty at home, not in class.

#6. when taking a test, go over the questions and answers before turning in. there have been so many times i read a question too quickly and changed my answer and i ended up being correct when i looked it over again. don’t make those dumb mistakes.

#7. befriend the other students who do really well in the class. seriously, this will save you.

after classes/school:

#1. when you get home from school, unwind for an hour. take a shower, go to the gym, do whatever you want to do to allow yourself to relax and unwind. you need to take another break after school to regroup and to find a little bit of balance.

#2. review the notes you took in class that day and the pictures you took of the board, and rewrite your notes in a different notebook. so i suggest 2 notebooks for each class— one for your sloppy in-class notes and another for your pretty and organized notes. rewriting your notes will allow your brain to help retain that information.

#3. spend some time each day after rewriting your notes to watch a few videos on youtube about that topic. for nursing school, i like to look at 1-3 videos about what we’re learning to get a wider understanding.

#4. on the weekends, i like to spend 1-2, sometimes 3 hours each day reviewing everything i learned that week. i will watch more videos, i will read over my notes, and i will also create flashcards with my own practice questions in regards to the notes i take and quiz myself with those cards.

one day, two cafes, and a whole lot of studying 🤍

When the smoke filled room of big money capitalists decided kamala Harris, the most unpopular candidate in the 2020 race was gonna be old man biden's running mate the stage was set for her to succeed in establishing the ruling classes' agenda here just a simple maintenance of the status quo. It's a slow erosion of rights. A frog in a slowly boiling pot. I believe that her politics most align with the far right capitalist class, Kamala Harris's fascism is more sinister bevause it makes hordes of you fucking little morons proclaim that it's harm reduction or the better choice while the world collapses around us with unfulfilled promises they're not even bothering to make anymore. I think telling me to vote should be met with open hostility. A huge fuck no. A striking condemnation. This is your enemy! Socialism is the solution it always will be.

If you don’t want to read takes from an “angry” cripple you can avoid that by simply unfollowing me and following people who are not me

I wanted to send love & positive vibes to everyone out there that needs them! You can do this! Everything will be alright!

heads up for gays that don't use tiktok: you're gonna start hearing the words "demure" and "mindful" a lot more than you used to

Really fucking sucks that she has to respond to him like this. Like she should not have to worry about this piece of shit for the rest of her life.

just caught myself thinking “nooo i cant post that they’ll think i’m uncool” like brother you are on www.tumblr.com/dashboard

I've been using reddit more and my fucking god the programming subreddits are horrifically racist. when asked why the cs industry is so bad right now they all turn to blaming indian people for "stealing" tech jobs. I want to know how these white guys making $150k a year in their cushy remote jobs with flexible hours would feel if they had to work 14 hours a day until midnight so they don't inconvenience their usamerican coworkers by making them wake up earlier, all for worse positions and shit wages too.

and like yes, many tech jobs have been offshored to india, but that's not the fault of the people who live there, it's the fault of corporations who want to cut costs across the board by exploiting a larger labor pool in a country where they don't have to pay nearly as much per employee. the benefits are twofold, as after they've offshored these jobs to india, they can drive down wages in the us too, knowing that they've created a smaller, more competitive market that leads to people so desperate for work that they'll take any tech job, no matter how little it pays.

you have an enemy, and it's not the people that are now getting these jobs; they're just trying to make ends meet and live their lives, and they'll take whatever opportunities they can get in order to do so. you have more in common with them than you'll ever have with your boss, who benefits greatly from turning you against each other. imagine what we could do if we united against them instead.

ok but like. there are two different types of privilege. there's type a "everybody should have this, but some people don't" and type b "nobody should have this, but some people do"

there's having parents who can pay for your application to any college, and then there's having parents who can bribe your way into any college. there's owning your own home, and then there's owning 50 houses and getting rich off hoarding a vital resource. there's not fearing for your life whenever cops are around, and then there's being the cop and being allowed to murder anyone at any time.

idk i just feel like that's an important distinction to make.

i fucking hate being an adult with a slowly increasing number of responsibilities its like one day you wake up and youre like aw fuck when was the last time i descaled the coffee machine

my name is detective sleeping and im about to get started on my toughest case yet. the pillow case

one thing no one ever teaches you is that you can just make things nicer and more intentional- you can take your energy drink, pour it in a rocks glass over ice with a slice of lime on the rim, and sip it slow. and you'll think, "wow i am the biggest faggot to have ever lived". and you know what? you're right.

For those who needed to hear it today

the worst thing about 4.99 purchases is that one is fine. but if you do two of them you spent ten bucks. and ten bucks these days is like fifty bucks. if youre fucking lucky
