i had already given up on doing astrophysics and then this shows up to me and basically i'm back into wanting to do this major, even if i don't like math. :) good luck to me i guess.
going to class and your professor talking fondly about the "wonderful feeling after the elevator cable snaps while you're in it"
said professor then proceeding to play a rock song
on most days only expect 2-5 students in class even though we have 13
where did the others go?? nobody knows, maybe they were abducted by aliens
speaking of aliens
your other professor pausing class to talk about what would happen if we met them
and getting mildly upset that an asteroid is no longer headed towards earth
cats
just so many physics department cats
and celebrating their birthdays
nobody in the department sleeps
don't be alarmed when your professor goes to the group chat at 3am to talk about whatever
hating elon musk
somehow other majors don't think astrophysics majors actually attend school until they meet you
there are days where we only talk about why star trek wasn't safe (they never wore seatbelts for a long time!!)
we like frogs
and rocks
rock go brrrr
sometimes finding your professor's face photoshopped onto satellites
working for hours but having 0 progress
your prof. assuring you that this is normal even for professionals
random scifi talks and book recs
cats
everyone in the dept likes greek letters
getting back to your dorm at almost midnight
the hall is eerily quiet but nobody is asleep
crying over the moon is normal
so is crying over the mars rovers
crying in general is normal
your professor saying odd things like
"this is just some weird image of two people about to die- but anyway, spacetime"
the astronomers of the school are also the astrologers
setting up in the lounge reading people's birth charts and astro cards
having to sneak through the back of the building because our id cards never work
sitting in the observatory with the lights off waiting for the professor to get there
planning to bring your hallmates to the planetarium to impress them
did i mention the cats?
meow
why do we have things that glow?
and this????
idk might make a pt. 2 or not
My mother also talked about periods to my brothers.
When I first got mine I had terrible cramps. Crippling cramps. I once was camping with my family and a few of my big brother’s friends when my period came. My cramps were so bad that my mom gave me a full pain killer ( I was 13 and before that she only gave me pills cut in half).
I literally laid down on my parents’ air mattress and cried in pain for an hour before the pill kicked in.
My brothers friend came in to the big tent and I was just curled up and sobbing. Now, I was quite the tomboy and was known to rough house with my brothers and their friends and made sure I wasnt seen as just “a little girl.” So my brother’s friend was confused to see me openly weeping in the fetal position (seriously, these were the worst cramps I have had in my life. My vision went white). He asked what was wrong with me.
My big brother stood up immediately and suggested a nice long hike. During this hike I am sure he had a pretty awkward conversation with his friend explaining menstrual cramps, because when they got back the pain pill had (mostly) kicked in and I was sitting up at a table when my brother’s friend sheepishly asked me if I was feeling better. I said I was better, and he said good.
When we made s'mores that night my brother and his friend kept me well supplied with chocolate.
Making sure sons know as much about periods and menstruation as daughters makes them better brothers, better sons better fathers, and better men. A man that understands a period will not lightly accuse a woman of “being on her period” if the woman is in an argument.
I hate it when people expect me to be on my best behaviour all the time. Bitch, I was up late crying over a book character and I have a million assignments to submit. I'm not in the mood to listen to you or give validation
WAIT GUYS I JUST NOTICED SOMETHING
okay so during the “i’m being chased by walt whitman” scene, when cameron comes in talking about his homework, charlie is already playing the drums in the back. so now i am left to assume that charlie was playing the drums while cameron was trying to do his homework and aiejjwiakejjr i honestly love their dynamic a lot

i love the fact ethan auditioned for neil and robert did for todd bcoz that was both of their irl personalities. and I love how peter weir (was it him?) decided they should play their opposing characters because todd becomes confident by the end and neil dosent have the strength or hope to stay on; so what I’m trying to say is their irl personalities come out by the end of the movie and that makes it all the more better and more realistic.
My toxic trait : I find it so offending when the person I hate, picks up one of my interests or starts listening to that one underrated artist I love. It's like sharing your room with the cousin whom you absolutely detest for some reason.
reading about a character who is way too similar to you and having an outside perspective on the situation:
