with every person, you’ll discover a new kind of love. you’ll have so many soulmates. you’ll meet so many people you care about in amazing ways.

[apricitystudies]

every minute spent on planning saves you ten minutes spent on execution. short essays probably don't require that much preparation beforehand, but if you're writing something longer you should probably spend some time planning first. this is the process i go through when planning my essays, and i find it works really well!

gentiles have no idea which Jewish holidays are particularly significant relative to other Jewish holidays 

[meangirlnurse]

gentiles will be like “are you going to fly across the country to be with your family for Hanukkah? also do you really need time off for Yom Kippur” 

[lesbian-bookworm]

Not to make you my teacher but if you dont mind what are the most significant Jewish holidays/what they mean

Ive tried to google it but i usually only find christian bullshit

If you dont wanna thats all good to

[meangirlnurse]

hey! it’s admirable to want to know more. i’d recommend checking out JewFAQ’s Gentile’s Guide to the Holidays as sort of a short entry point. if you want more information on any of the specific holidays mentioned, you can check out the individual articles for those holidays under the “times” tab 😊

As a college student, currently really hungry with nothing to eat, I understand how hard it can be to get food.

Why clothes are so hard to recycle

Fast fashion is leading to a mountain of clothing being thrown away each year and has a huge impact on the environment, so can we turn our unwanted garments into something useful?

‘eat the frog' method

Hi all, it’s werelivingarts. I just stumbled across this method called ‘eat the frog’, which means you get the most difficult or important task out of your way first. I actually have been using this method for a long time, hope this post gives you a new way of managing your time and productivity! 😜 ❤️

“If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first.” – Mark Twain

Hi bitches!!! I have a credit question for you. Say I have six cards that are maxed out ranging from $500-$2000 on each and a score of...520. Should I pay off the smaller ones first in full or the same amount across all of them (say $150/week) to get the quickest score increase? I’m applying for an apartment soon and need better credit! Although I’ve never ever missed a payment so Idk if that helps for the apartment??? Please and thank you!!

Hi sweetiepie! What you’re describing is called the Snowball Method of paying off debt. And yeah, we thoroughly endorse it. Stay with me here while I explain for the whole class.

Card A has $500 on it. Card B has $1,000 on it. Card C has $2,000 on it. Each card has a minimum monthly payment of $20. You can afford to kick in an extra $30 every month toward the debt. So you start out paying this:

Card A: $50 ($20 monthly minimum + $30 extra)

Card B: $20 (the monthly minimum)

Card C: $20 (the monthly minimum)

Eventually, Card A will be paid off! Once that happens, you snowball its payments over into the card with the next highest balance. So you’re still shelling out the same amount of money every month, but you’re taking a larger chunk out of the next card. The payments will then look like this:

Card A: $0 (it’s paid off)

Card B: $70 (the $20 monthly minimum + the $20 minimum for Card A + $30 extra)

Card C: $20 (the monthly minimum)

Eventually that card will be paid off too so you keep snowballing the payments into the next card, like so:

Card A: $0

Card B: 0$

Card C: $90 (monthly minimums for all three cards + $30 extra)

The reason the Snowball Method works so much better than paying all the cards off at the same time and at the same rate, is that it will free up your credit faster. Within 10 months, you’re going to have Card A paid off entirely. Whereas if you divided your extra money between all cards ($10 per card), Card A would take almost 17 months to pay off. And the sooner you pay off Card A, the sooner you have an extra $50 a month to throw at Card B.

You can decide on the order of the cards based on the balance, from smallest to largest (the Snowball Method), or on the interest rate, from largest to smallest (known as the Avalanche Method).

tl;dr: SNOWBALL YOUR DEBT PAYMENTS.

We wrote more about it here:

The “Best” Way to Pay off Credit Card Debt

[transactivistshatewomen-deactiv]

@women: Don’t be afraid of trying new things when you’re older. Don’t be afraid of going to college in your 30s, or getting into a new hobby in your late 20s, or finding a new career in your 40s-50s. There’s never a wrong time to start something new. Youth and beauty culture tries to convince people (especially women) that we need to have everything figured out in our 20s but life rarely works like that. You’re not gonna shrivel up and die in your 30s like youth culture wants you to believe. The world is your oyster no matter what age you are.
