Good

What to do if you suddenly find yourself homeless

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

MR. REYES DOESN'T GET ENOUGH ATTENTION

oKAY BUT GUYS MR. REYES GOT SQUIPPED TOO SO WHY DOES NO ONE MENTION THAT:

-he probably becomes the Squip Squad’s favorite teacher

-he’s that kooky drama teacher that you can’t help but love anyways

-he becomes really close with them and gives them really important life advice for whenever they’re feeling anxious about the future 

-Mr. Reyes writes Christine a recommendation letter to the highest acting colleges bc he’s so proud of how far she’s come as an actress

-he signs all of their yearbooks with personal messages and gets emotional when he sees them graduate bc shit these students are like his kids to him -he becomes a father figure to not just Rich but also to Michael after he joins drama tech

-will spend hours at night doing research on where the kids would like to go to college because he cares that much for them and wants to make sure they feel ready and prepared to leave high school

-they bring him hot pockets every morning 

-he even comes up with a secret handshake with Jake after Rich bets that Mr. Reyes wouldn’t do it but he does it so he can see Rich lose a bet

-the kids secretly host a car wash to raise money and surprise Mr. Reyes with a trip to Broadway (at the car wash, Jeremy bakes, Christine sings while Michael is working her music, Jenna promotes the car wash by getting her thousands of Twitter followers to stop by, Jake and Rich are the sign spinners and get super competitive on who can bring in more customers)

-he’s tHAT ONE TEACHER WHO YOU CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON AND LIKE THEY’RE PROUD OF YOU REGARDLESS OF YOUR FAILURES HE’S THE ONE TO PICK YOU BACK UP EVEN WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU CANT GO ANYWHERE IN LIFE 

LIKE YEAH MR. REYES IS WEIRD BUT IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT HE’D FEEL CONNECTED TO THESE STUDENTS LIKE “WOW I REALLY WANT THEM ALL TO SUCCEED AND I’M SO PROUD OF THEM” I’M SORRY I HAVE SO MANY EM O TI ONS

Legitimate *pro bono legal services* don’t exist without a good reason. In a few of the exmormon groups I’m in you’ll see regular posts saying stuff like “Look what my lawyer sent me today!” with a pic of their resignation confirmation letter from the church.

You know. Just stuff that a normal average church that is definitely not actually a cult would do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How to Read Your Textbook: SQ3R Method

Before you read, survey the chapters:

Title, headings, subheadings

Captions under pictures, charts, graphs, maps

Review questions and study guides

Read introductory and concluding paragraphs

Read summaries

Questions while you are surveying:

Turn titles, headings, and subheadings into questions

Read questions at the end of the chapters or after each subheading

Ask yourself, “what did my instructor say about this chapter or subject when it was assigned?”

Ask yourself, “what do I already know about this subject/chapter?”

When you begin to read:

Look for answers to the questions you raised in the previous steps

Answer questions at the beginning or end of chapters or study guides

Reread captions under pictures, graphs, charts, and maps

Note all the underlined, italicized, and bold printed words or phrases

Study graphic aids (maps, charts, graphs, pictures, etc.)

Reduce your reading speed for difficult passages

Stop and reread parts that are unclear or confusing

Read only a section at a time and recite after each section (how to recite below)

Recite after you’ve read a section:

Ask yourself questions out loud about what you have just read, or summarize (in your own words) what you read

Take notes from the text but write the information in your own words

Underline or highlight important points you’ve just read

Reciting: the more of your sense you use, the more likely you are to remember what you read

seeing = reading, saying = asking questions or summarizing aloud, hearing = you answering your questions aloud

Review:

Reviewing is an ongoing process

80% of information is lost within 24 hours, but if you continue to review you will remember more for class or for test day

Again I don’t take credit for this post. All of the above information is from a handout I picked up from my adviser’s office.

I love this

I know a really young Billy Batson is cute and all that, but let’s take a moment to imagine college Billy.

- Billy studying in the Watch Tower because a couple of kids were playing the penis game in the campus library, and he thought he could stop it by winning, but instead he just got himself kicked out for a week

-Billy finding random places to sleep on the Watch Tower because he doesn’t get enough sleep and his roommate keeps commandeering the room for sexy time

- the JL having a meeting and suddenly hearing an phone alarm go off then a thump from under the meeting table and then a string of curses

- Billy stealing toilet paper and other such products from the Watch Tower because he’s doesn’t have cash and this stuff’s two-ply

- Batman letting Billy steal essentials from the Tower, but will draw the line at furniture

- Billy eating most of his meals on the Tower because the school’s meal plan sucks and compared to what his college serves this stuff’s practically a five stare, gourmet meal

- Everyone becoming alarmed when Billy openly cries while eating a double bacon cheese burger

- Billy building a study fort out of cushions on the Tower with a “Do Not Disturb” sign taped on it

- Billy calling a League member because he got drunk at a party and his ride left without him and “look Hal I called you because you’re the only one that wouldn’t lecture me and WOULD YOU STOP LAUGHING I’M TRYING TO BE RESPONSIBLE HERE YOU ASS!!!!”

- League members who went to college silently slipping Billy cups of coffee at random times throughout the day out of sympathy

- BILLY DURING FINALS WEEK

- Billy using League resources for his thesis because Billy want’s to stick it to tHE ONE TEACHER THAT SAID THEY DON’T GIVE A’S

- Billy using his powers to get the books he needs for his midterm research paper because fuck if he’s gonna wait a week for it to be loaned out to his school’s library

- Shazam turning back into Billy on the Tower in only his boxers and clutching a pillow and passing out on the ground because he literally had no sleep for three days and he got the call just has he got into bed

- Arthur asking Billy what he’s working on and Billy jokingly says his paper on the discovery of Atlantis and asks if he has contact with Dr. Shin and Arthur not finding it amusing at all.

- Diana wanting to help Billy with his mythology class and Billy trying to calm her down when she starts arguing with what’s in the books

- Billy pulling pranks on underclassmen with the help of the entire Flash Fam

- Superman giving Billy rolls of quarters for laundry because “Look son, I don’t know who told you this, but you can’t just wear the same shirt five days in a row- … What do you mean they’re all different? What do you mean it was a bargain deal????”

- Lois Lane taking Billy clothes shopping because there is no way Clark is helping Billy pick out clothes “Because he’ll look like a plaid infested redneck that’s why, Clark.”

- Cyborg helping Billy hack into the school’s website and updating it because lets face it, that site was a wreck and the email system needed to be worked on

- Billy having the longest Emergency Contact list in the school’s history

- Billy arguing with the RA because no he didn’t punch a whole through the dorm room wall, how could he? It’s not like he’s secretly a superhero who can’t use the Wisdom of Solomon to solve a complicated math problem because Martian Manhunter told him that would be cheating and he certainly didn’t take out his frustration on the wall……….

- Billy trying to find a private place in order to Shazam but can’t because everyone is up aT THREE IN THE MORNING!!!

- Billy in college
