What I look like at the function knowing I should be in bed reading a reader insert rn
My terrible guide to my awful process of writing college application essays:
Blind panic. Read that question and freak the fuck out. Really judt overtime and let that question permeate your fucking bones
Turn off your brain. Put something stupid on in the background that distracts you from the overthinking but not too distracting that it keeps you from writing
Madman that bitch. Just start fucking writing. Pick the weirdest part of your idea and just keep going. It doesn't have to be good, just keep the ideas flowing until you have about 3/4 or more of the essay written. Seriously. Take the weird ideas that are close to your heart and write those. Tell them all about your favorite lizard or how to crochet. Just do it and worry about it being composed later
Edit. Don't delete anything fully, just rearrange, cut things and put them lower in the doc, rewrite sentences and add more to places that need it
Self loath and ask someone else to read it because if you have to try to do any more of this on your own you will explode
Put it down for a few days
Go through the comments and edit your paper
There you go! That's a completed paper
If this sounds terrible and stressful, that'd becuase it is. The most important step in the madmanning with your brain off because that is where you will write the best parts of your essay with the least about of self loathing
I DONT THINK WE APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT DOCTOR SPENCER MOTHER FUCKING RIED, MR. I DONT LIKE HANDSHAKES DUE TO GERMS, DELIVERED AN IMPROMPTU FUCKING CHILD WHO WAS THEN NAMED AFTER HIM!!!!!!!

reblogging for future me
I want to live by myself when I move out of my parent's place but I'm really afraid of money problems? I'm afraid that the only place I can afford will be in the ghetto and it'll all be torn apart and I'll only be allowed to eat one granola bar a week. I'm really stressing out about this. I don't know anything about after school life. I don't know anything about paying bills or how to buy an apartment and it's really scaring me. is there anything you know that can help me?

Once you’ve looked over all those cool links, I have some general advice for you on how you can have some sort of support system going for you:
You may decide to leave home for many different reasons, including:
wishing to live independently
location difficulties – for example, the need to move closer to university
conflict with your parents
being asked to leave by your parents.
It’s common to be a little unsure when you make a decision like leaving home. You may choose to move, but find that you face problems you didn’t anticipate, such as:
Unreadiness – you may find you are not quite ready to handle all the responsibilities.
Money worries – bills including rent, utilities like gas and electricity and the cost of groceries may catch you by surprise, especially if you are used to your parents providing for everything. Debt may become an issue.
Flatmate problems – issues such as paying bills on time, sharing housework equally, friends who never pay board, but stay anyway, and lifestyle incompatibilities (such as a non-drug-user flatting with a drug user) may result in hostilities and arguments.
Think about how your parents may be feeling and talk with them if they are worried about you. Most parents want their children to be happy and independent, but they might be concerned about a lot of different things. For example:
They may worry that you are not ready.
They may be sad because they will miss you.
They may think you shouldn’t leave home until you are married or have bought a house.
They may be concerned about the people you have chosen to live with.
Reassure your parents that you will keep in touch and visit regularly. Try to leave on a positive note. Hopefully, they are happy about your plans and support your decision.
Tips include:
Don’t make a rash decision – consider the situation carefully. Are you ready to live independently? Do you make enough money to support yourself? Are you moving out for the right reasons?
Draw up a realistic budget – don’t forget to include ‘hidden’ expenses such as the property’s security deposit or bond (usually four weeks’ rent), connection fees for utilities, and home and contents insurance.
Communicate – avoid misunderstandings, hostilities and arguments by talking openly and respectfully about your concerns with flatmates and parents. Make sure you’re open to their point of view too – getting along is a two-way street.
Keep in touch – talk to your parents about regular home visits: for example, having Sunday night dinner together every week.
Work out acceptable behaviour – if your parents don’t like your flatmate(s), find out why. It is usually the behaviour rather than the person that causes offence (for example, swearing or smoking). Out of respect for your parents, ask your flatmate(s) to be on their best behaviour when your parents visit and do the same for them.
Ask for help – if things are becoming difficult, don’t be too proud to ask your parents for help. They have a lot of life experience.
Not everyone who leaves home can return home or ask their parents for help in times of trouble. If you have been thrown out of home or left home to escape abuse or conflict, you may be too young or unprepared to cope.
If you are a fostered child, you will have to leave the state-care system when you turn 18, but you may not be ready to make the sudden transition to independence.
If you need support, help is available from a range of community and government organisations. Assistance includes emergency accommodation and food vouchers. If you can’t call your parents or foster parents, call one of the associations below for information, advice and assistance.
Your doctor
Kids Helpline Tel. 1800 55 1800
Lifeline Tel. 13 11 44
Home Ground Services Tel. 1800 048 325
Relationships Australia Tel. 1300 364 277
Centrelink Crisis or Special Help Tel. 13 28 50
Tenants Union of Victoria Tel. (03) 9416 2577
Try to solve any problems before you leave home. Don’t leave because of a fight or other family difficulty if you can possibly avoid it.
Draw up a realistic budget that includes ‘hidden’ expenses, such as bond, connection fees for utilities, and home and contents insurance.
Remember that you can get help from a range of community and government organizations.

Keep me updated? xx
Random goon: Hey boss, were you the one to pick that name as an alias? And why this one?
Red Hood : I used to have another name, before... A long time ago. But that person is dead now. I get to choose for myself now, they can't take that from me. I won't let them.
Goon: Huh.
***
Random Goon: Say boss, why do you never take off your shirt in front of us?
Red Hood: Well uh, I actually have that really fucked scar on my chest and I'm not comfortable with...
Random Goon: Don't worry boss, we get it, you don't have to explain yourself to us.
***
Red Hood, high on some toxin: God, I wish my family...
Random Goon (on boss-sitting duty): why not try reaching out to them?
Red Hood: They would never accept me as I am now... They wouldn't agree with my so-called "life choices". Besides, they don't miss me, they miss the person they think I used to be... I wasn't even a man when I last saw them.
Random Goon: Damn boss, that sucks.

And then the goons throw the Red Hood a party on trans visibility day and Jason is so confused he straight up cries.
Studyblr Intro Post™
I already had an intro post but I'm revamping this blog now so here we go again
About me:
- I'm a Latin American student in my second year of university, getting a Bachelor's degree in Animation
- I am an adult, queer, and use he/him pronouns, you can call me Icarus
- I have ADHD, which means that even though I'm formally studying Animation, I may be interested in 112 different things at any point in time
Blog stuff:
- Mostly chaotic academia shit, tips for studying with ADHD, photos of my journal and desk, and maybe rambling about topics I'm interested in
- Posts about my study schedule, classes, topics, grades, etc etc
- Maybe, maybe, I'll share some of the artwork I do for classes. Just maybe.
My interests:
- Art and animation, obviously. My main interest is in 2D game animation, but that might change as I progress through college
- Language learning. Currently, I can speak Portuguese (native), English (around C1/C2) and Japanese (B1)
- Biology! Mostly human biology, but biology in general fascinates me
- Music of any kind, good or bad, as long as I can vibe to it I'm in
- Journaling, planning, organization, stationery supplies, I love paper and anything you can do with it
- History is also a big interest of mine, but usually I'm more focused on niche topics like the life of a specific person or a particular time period of a specific country or culture, that kinda stuff
That's basically it, I just wanna interact with people in the studyblr community and share tips and photos and whatnot, studying is fun so I wanna share that fun with more people ^^
