I have made a groundbreaking discovery,
If this is just empty I’ll delete it later lol idk I’m bored
victor frankenstein could have helped invent the defibrillator but no. my dude decided he’d be a shitty dad
Wear jeans/pants that “breathe” and bring a sweater, even if it’s scorching hot out, until you know which building blasts the AC to 60 degrees F and which feels like a sauna
Backpacks with thick straps are your friend! Messenger bags are cool and all but if you’re commuting with a lot of stuff, symmetrically styled backpacks are better for your back
You are your own person and you can walk out whenever you need to or want to, so long as you’re not disrupting the class. Meaning you can go to the bathroom without permission, take a breather if you’re anxious, answer an important phone call, etc.
If you don’t like the class on the first day, if you can- DROP THAT CLASS AND TAKE ANOTHER ONE! It’ll only get worse from there!
If you can, take a class outside your major; it’s a good break from your expected studies.
You are in charge of your schedule. Your adviser and guidance counselor is there to ‘advise and guide’ but if you don’t like certain classes and you can substitute for others, that’s your choice.
Consequently, if you are changing anything drastic in your plan, talk with your adviser and instructors.
Pay attention to your credit hours and grades. Never leave this to the last week of school, you will be sorry and stressed beyond belief!
Unless it’s a lab book or otherwise specified, go to the class for a week or so before buying an expensive textbook. Some classes, while having it on their required list, do not actually use the textbook a whole lot and you might find some of it scanned online. Rent if you can or buy used online (schools actually don’t give discounts). Use your best judgement on what you think you need.
Tell the people who go up to you selling or advertising things you are not interested in that you are in a rush to class and don’t have time to listen to them. It’s less rude and they’ll leave you alone.
The smaller the class, the better it is to have some sort of acquaintanceship with a couple classmates. They might save your ass if you are absent one day or need to study. And talking with them makes the time go by faster without it being so insufferable.
You don’t need to join a club or sport, but internships are cool and useful!
If you can afford it, take a day off once or twice each semester if you’re too exhausted. Just be aware of what you missed and if it was worth missing!
Your health is the most important, this goes for mental health too!! Note: College-age/upper teens is when mental disorders like depression and anxiety are most commonly diagnosed. Most schools have therapy services, especially during exam time. Look into it if you need to!
Communicate with your professor if you are having trouble with something. Anything.
Eat and stay hydrated. Bring a water bottle and snack to class.
All-nighters will happen but never go over 36 hours without sleep.
It’s going to be hard and there will be times you might think about giving up. This WILL happen. You just have to make sure what you’re doing isn’t making you absolutely miserable and/or there is something rewarding and positive to look forward to at the end!
Hey everyone, I am a fan of a webtoon author and love her comics. Unfortunately we learned that she definitely probably isn’t feeling too great after some traumatic experiences. I am unable to donate but I thought I’d share this here!

This gofundme is here to support Yennie’s medical expenses and mental health support for future therapy sessions. All proceeds go to her and her husband! And if you cannot donate that is fine, all I ask to to reblog to spread the word around so we can give Yennie the support she deserves! Thank you!!
I’m so proud of this hand thinking of animating or something with it soon

Hey can stereotypes just stfu, it may seem fun and all but when using stereotypes on people all you’re doing is devaluing them. Saying that they aren’t their own person, they’re not special, but instead they belong in a “group”. I personally think that applying it to fictional characters is fine as long as you don’t make it their ENTIRE fucking personality and do not encourage applying them to actual people.
Like “categorizing” someone with ADHD and just comparing them to other neurodivergents. All you’re doing is telling them that’s all they are. Just some kid who happens to be neurodivergent. And I hate that, I really do. Stop stereotyping in general. Quit it.
(Also if we could just not treat neurodivergent people so differently then others that’d also be cool because we’re literally humans too.)
