Now Playing Tracks

Once these 2 Finals are over, I just want to crawl into a hole. A deep, dark hole. Preferably one with fertile soil. That stuff is moist and pleasant, as opposed to dry dirt. And it probably washes off better too.

What is life

wah

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

Take a break.

Studying when you’re stressed out is mad detrimental, because if you try and cram in more and more info when you’re stressed, you won’t retain it very well. And then after hours of stressful studying, if you don’t do as well as you feel you worked for, you’re just going to get even MORE stressed. It just becomes a really bad cycle from there.

Take a break, breathe, eat a bunch of ice cream. Drink one of the million various tea-bags you have stocked up. You still have Finals left—which in one way is completely batshit scary. But if you look at it the other way, it’s your chance to prove yourself and get that grade that you want. Just get yourself as happy and motivated as you can be, and anything you study will stick that much harder in your little noggin. Trust me, I’m learning about all of this stuff in Cog Psych lmao.

YOU GOT THIS.


I am slowly, but surely, losing my mind.

This feels like Finals week, except it’s in mid-April where I am both physically and mentally unprepared to handle it. I also don’t have the luxury of having all of my extra-curricular’s put on hold for me(as they would be during Finals), so I still have to deal with working, dance practices, PR duties, and a bunch of other stuff.

I keep on telling myself that “I got this”, “This isn’t that bad”, “I can handle this”. But it’s getting harder and harder to believe.

This sucks. And as hard as I try to not let that sentiment pervade into my thoughts and actions, I’m fighting a losing battle here. Sorry to everyone who gets caught in the crossfire. I’ll be better after this Thursday, I promise.

if you could learn to do anything you want for free, what would you want to learn? :)

Soooooo many things D: I want to learn to draw and paint, to express my thoughts and my emotions through that medium. I want people to be able to look at one of my works and just…feel that connection. 

I also want to learn how to program. Technology is probably the most important thing ever right now, so I feel like it’s really important to know how these things work.

I’d like to be able to identify more constellations. Right now, I’m limited to Big Dipper, Little Dipper, Orion, Orion’s Belt, and triangle-shaped-thingy.

I also want to get better at dancing. Not just modern hip-hop, although that would be nice, but all other different styles. Sometimes when you see someone dance, you can just feel the emotion and power behind the movements. It’s an awesome form of expression.

I’d like to learn how to manage my money. I suck.

GAH SO MUCH. I DUN LIKE THIS QUESTION
