Someone told me my hair and fashion style was “too 2010s.” It’s only been two years. Please!😭😭😭

Pardon me while I throw everything I own away and buy hundreds of dollars of now clothes so I can be one of the cool kids.

Seriously though, who has the time, money and energy to completely reinvent themselves every time a new style drops. Not me. 👋

My mom posted this meme on Facebook and it is LEGIT hilarious. I'm so proud.

I hope one day you find joy in something that doesn't involve hurting and mocking innocent people.

They're just trying to exist, bro.

Maybe this is anecdotal but I know a fair amount of aces and literally none of them are cis and het. Cis and het aces/aros are rad and valid of course! But the fact that I don't know any, yet one of the major exclu talking points is about cishet invaders, is so suspicious. I know 1 cis ace and she's a lesbian, the rest I know are all trans + nb and none of them are het either. The one aro I know is also a lesbian and nonbinary (frat boy stawman argument destroyer lol)!

I think one survey said only 1-3% of aces are cis and hetromantic. They matter and I will go to bat for any, but it’s definitely using a minority of a minority agaisnt the whole.

Surviving college

I saw a really helpful post by @daisystudies about tips for college (link to post) and I felt inspired to share some things I learnt during my first year:

Commute will get easier - If you live close enough to your college, that you don’t have to move there, but far enough for it to be a long commute, I promise it’s worth it and it gets easier. Make sure to research ways to make commuting cheaper especially for students (most countries offer long term tickets for cheaper).

Everyone is just as lost as you are - Not even the older students are much wiser trust me.Being confused and stressed is super normal! It’s a big change, but you’ll adapt and it will get easier.

Everybody is lonely and everyone wants to make friends - People do not want to be alone and they will want to talk to you. Everyone seeks a companion and they are opened to a conversation. If you’re not brave enough to start talking to strangers (that’s okay) just try to look opened to talking to someone. Smile a bit, don’t spend all of your time staring into your phone, take part in class. I promise people aren’t as terrifying as they seem.

Professors who try to scare you are assholes and are not worth to stress over - I meet two types of professors: those who try to encourage students and those who are proud of their class being difficult. My very first lecture started with the professor listing reason why we don’t deserve to be there, which was scary. I later realised that people like that are not worth my attention. I promise you will meet great professors who will feel like mentors and will help you.

You’re largerly on your own - I know this sounds awful but stick with me for a second. In high school you are told all deadlines, reminded of important tasks and you get a very rigid schedule. In college it’s up to you to look up deadlines, find all necessary requirements and sign up for exams. This will be stressful at first but it also offers far more freedom and often allows you to do things on your own schedule.

Physical health and activity is way more important than you think - I beg you to move your body at least 3 times a week. Walk, do yoga, stretch, do sports, go to the gym - anything. Just make sure you don’t neglect your body just because of a busy schedule. It can and will do more damage than you might think.

College social life is a bit over romanticised - This might be the covid era student in me speaking but I still feel it’s important to mention. It won’t be like you see in shows and movies. Doesn’t mean it’s never fun… but still make sure not to expect the greatest years of your life. Best case scenario: you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Get a light laptop - this depends on what you study, but most majors do not need you to have an expensive computer. It’s just better to have something to have all your notes on and a lot of classes are so fast paced it’s impossible to hand write without having to go back and fill in large amounts of information, which in turn takes a lot of extra time.

Your mental health is not worth sacrificing for good grades or even a finished degree - Please set your priorities right in the beginning. Your health is the most important thing you have. You can always live an amazing life without a degree but not without your health.
