- The word “friend” already exists and is gender neutral you don’t need another word for friends of the same gender
- I’m gay and confused
- That’s it
Throughout the semester:
Complete all of the course’s assignments
Study at least two hours per credit hour each week, if at all possible
Take good notes in class and review within 24 hours of taking them
Go to study meetings and tutoring, if needed
Use study habits that fit your learning style (visual, auditory, tactile)
Before the exam
Find out about the exam
What will be the format of the test? Try to study in the same format. If the test is going to be short answer, study in short answer format.
What material will be covered? No need to study something you won’t be tested on.
How much time will you have? If the test is timed, you’ll need to work speed when you study.
How much is it worth towards your final grade? You don’t want to find out on test day that the test is worth a large portion of your final grade and you didn’t study
Use notes and study materials created throughout the semester to study
Carry your study materials wherever you go so you can study if you have free time.
Try not to cram if at all possible
Eat healthy, drink water, exercise, and get plenty of rest the night before. Sleeping is scientifically proven to help you remember what you’ve learned. Your hippocampus works while you’re asleep to consolidate the information into memories so that you can recall the information later.
Exam day
Eat a healthy breakfast and do some light stretching or yoga
Arrive to the exam early
Take deep breaths
Read the directions, questions, and answers carefully
Jot down important information such as formulas as soon as you get the test so you won’t panic and forget them later
Answer questions with an educated guess. If you’re not sure, try to narrow it down to what you know can’t be the answer.
After the exam
Reward yourself
When you get the exam back, try to understand what you missed and why. Meet with your professor if you’re not sure
Analyze how you prepared for the test. What worked? How could you better prepare for the next test?
Again, I don’t take credit for everything in this post. Most of these tips come from a handout I picked up from my academic adviser with a few extra tips and tweaks from me.
hey since I just told a friend this and they found it helpful: if you’re having hallucinations and are having trouble distinguishing what’s real and what’s not, use your phone’s camera and take a picture of the thing you might be hallucinating. cameras don’t hallucinate.
yo but mermaid monster hybrids though
vampire mermaids who prey on their own kind — when they get bitten, their scales fall off, their tails turn a slick and fleshy grey, a dorsal fin begins to sprout from their spine, and suddenly there’s six rows of teeth where once there was only one
mermaid medusas who’ve got eels for hair and it’s not their gaze that can turn you to stone but their song
fairy mermaids who’re born of spite and mischief — they’re small, the size of seahorses, and they speed through the currents causing mayhem and sometimes destruction
were-mermaids who turn into huge, hulking great whites when the full moon filters through the deep waters, who cannot be restrained because what shackles can you find in the deep?, who leave blood and guts in their wake

IMPORTANT! Gravy Train Dog Food was had a recall.
Source: (x)
A bunch of dogs, including my own, eat Gravy Train. It’s a very affordable wet canned dog food, so many people buy it. and my dog has to eat it because she’s lost most of her teeth and can’t chew.
Please, SIGNAL BOOST THIS!
Even if you don’t have a dog, your followers probably do, and plenty of them are at risk. You could save a life.
FOOD
Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food
grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread
different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.
some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit
SHELTER
Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment
sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it
Some churches offer short term residence
Find your nearest homeless shelter
Look for places that are open to the public
A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry
HYGIENE
A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.
Public libraries have bathrooms you can use
Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.
Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver
Local beaches, go for a quick swim
Some truck stops have showers you can pay for
Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet
Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket
OTHER
first aid kit
sunscreen
a travel alarm clock or watch
mylar emergency blanket
a backpack is a must
downgrade your cellphone to a pay as you go with top-up cards
sleeping bag
travel kit of toothbrush, hair brush/comb, mirror
swiss army knife
can opener
