After 148 episodes and two movies of hunter x hunter, I still think kurapika is a girl every time I see him. I can’t help it. He’s super cute though!!

you’re kidding, you’re kidding right?

your 2nd priority should be bringing joyful and loving energy to those around you. your 1st priority should always be committing to the bit

andrew garfield spiderman didn’t get any powers from the spider bite. he’s just gay and we can all do that stuff

tips for public speaking

take a deep breath

it’ll be over before you know it 

pretend like you’re obama (it’ll help you talk slower)

stand up straight

in a class setting, people don’t typically pay attention anyways so it’s not like your classmates are watching your every move. they don’t care.

don’t lock your knees

bring up a note card with important topics or quotes

make eye contact if you can

or look at people’s hair. it’ll make it seem like you’re making eye contact, but it’ll be less awkward

don’t memorize your entire speech. instead, memorize a couple bullet points of topics you need to hit

project your voice as if you’re speaking to someone sitting in the back of the room

talk with your hands to help you feel more warm and welcoming

don’t put your hands in your pockets

walk around a bit, but let it come organically. don’t force it.

don’t bounce one leg the whole time, it’s distracting

spit out your gum

smile

don’t eat a big meal prior

if you have to present for a certain number of minutes, have a friend sit in the back of the room and hold up finger signs for how many minutes you’ve been up there

don’t wear loud jewelry

practice your presentation/speech to a friend or family member who is unfamiliar with the material. if they don’t understand your presentation or don’t follow, you need to be more detailed

stick to the built-in themes on power point. yes, colors are pretty, but some color combos can be hard to read, and you won’t know it until it’s up on a big screen/projector.

put pictures in your power point. they’re more entertaining to look at than a paragraph of text.

speak with formal language. stay away from curse words and slang.

remember that everyone in your class is going through the same stress.

if you absolutely cannot handle the idea of public speaking, talk to your teacher and see if it’s okay for you to do your presentation after class.

it’ll be okay.

you got this.

types of people as environments

sea: wild hair, iced coffee, probably listens to billie eilish, great instagram, wears bracelets/anklets, was that kid that thought they had some authority on greek mythology bc they read the percy jackson books, seems like they have their life together but actually are lowkey falling apart, can vibe w/ anyone

forest: hot coffee, guitar/indie/folk music, runs an aesthetic blog, doesn’t tell anyone what their favorite songs are bc that’s Too Personal, absolutely has to put fairy lights everywhere, loves their friends and makes sure they know it, if you hurt them they won’t do anything back they’ll just leave without a word or a trace

desert: long road trips, retro diners at 2am, also eats a lot of fast food, nothing fazes them, drunk declarations of love, their hair is their personality, thrives during nighttime, bored eater, acts chill and will say they’re Fine as they lay face down on the floor but also will tell their life story after 10pm

mountains: hot chocolate, gorgeous hair, adrenaline junkie, has a lot of secrets/emotional depth, morning person, will go insane if they’re cooped up indoors for too long, complete 180 from the person their 12-year-old self thought they would be but thank god for that

meadow: softie, henna tattoos, puts flowers in their hair, sparkling water, pastels, likes taylor swift, barely knows how to drive, good at drawing/painting, doesn’t hide their feelings, ppl think their openness can be taken advantage of but they see your motives and Know What You’re Trying To Do

tundra: flawless eyebrows, wears lots of dark colors, thick skin, intense as hell but it’s cool, eyes that stare into your fricken soul, seems emotionally unavailable but actually secretly loves a lot of people and is scared of losing them but will never show it

lake: iced tea, lives at chipotle, hands and feet are always cold, completely screwed up spotify algorithm, hates days when they can’t see the sun, loves spring/summer, really just wants to Calm Down, niche humor, has been saying they’re dead inside since 2014

‘‘Teenagers are annoying’‘ so true but do you remember what being a teenager was like???? They can be as annoying as they want, god knows they need it

For future reference.
