Life update!
September 13, 2018
I'm really not posting on here at all anymore because I'm so busy, but I decided to check in!
I changed my major to biology this summer and I am already confused as hell in chem and calc. How did I think I could do this??? Regardless, I am going to stay positive and do whatever it takes to get an A in all my courses this semester. I am going to probably get a math tutor, but I'm worried it might end up being this dude who I've known since high school who used to (still does?) have a crush on me even though I'm gay...it's awkward around him now. I may just specifically request to not be paired with him.
The good news is that for both chem and calc, the worst test score is replaced with the score on the final if it helps the overall grade. So I'm not out of the water yet!!
I think I'll be making daily or at least weekly posts here now. I really need to kick it into high gear.
I also need to be ready for the first speech tournament by next Tuesday, so I can't afford to waste any time. I'm doing an ADS(a funny speech), a poetry program, and a prose interpretation for this tournament. I will likely do impromptu as well.
I'm incredibly nervous about my ADS because I have never considered myself to be funny person before!! I will likely get bad scores, but the feedback is what I'm really looking for this tournament.
I'm going to respond to messages now and then get to bed so I don't miss my 9am tomorrow!
How to Handle Having TOO MUCH To Do
So letâs say youâre in the same boat I am (this is a running theme, have you noticed?) and youâve just got, like, SO MUCH STUFF that HAS to get done YESTERDAY or you will DIE (or fail/get fired/mope). Everything needs to be done yesterday, youâre sick, and for whatever reason you are focusing on the least important stuff first. What to do!
Take a deep breath, because this is a boot camp in prioritization.
Make a 3 by 4 grid. Make it pretty big. The line above your top row goes like this: Due YESTERDAY - due TOMORROW - due LATER. Along the side, write: Takes 5 min - Takes 30 min - Takes hours - Takes DAYS.
Divide ALL your tasks into one of these squares, based on how much work you still have to do. A thank you note for a present you received two weeks ago? That takes 5 minutes and was due YESTERDAY. Put it in that square. A five page paper thatâs due tomorrow? That takes an hour/hours, place it appropriately. Tomorrowâs speech you just need to rehearse? Half an hour, due TOMORROW. Do the same for ALL of your tasks
Your priority goes like this:
5 minutes due YESTERDAY
5 minutes due TOMORROW
Half-hour due YESTERDAY
Half-hour due TOMORROW
Hours due YESTERDAY
Hours due TOMORROW
5 minutes due LATER
Half-hour due LATER
Hours due LATER
DAYS due YESTERDAY
DAYS due TOMORROW
DAYS due LATER
At this point you just go down the list in each section. If something feels especially urgent, for whatever reason - a certain professor is hounding you, youâre especially worried about that speech, whatever - you can bump that up to the top of the entire list. However, going through the list like this is what I find most efficient.
Some people do like to save the 5 minute tasks for kind of a break between longer-running tasks. If thatâs what you want to try, go for it! Youâre the one studying here.
So thatâs how to prioritize. Now, how to actually do shit? Thatâs where the 20/10 method comes in. Itâs simple: do stuff like a stuff-doing FIEND for 20 minutes, then take a ten minute break and do whatever you want. Repeat ad infinitum. Itâs how Iâve gotten through my to do list, concussed and everything.
Youâve got this. Get a drink and start - we can do our stuff together!
WOAH THIS SOUNDS HELPFUL. IâM GOING TO TRY THIS IMMEDIATELY. Also, I made a chart for myself, but if anyone else wants it for reference (or if this is wrong and I misread you can tell me) here it is:
Going to try this.
the easiest tasks are often the most tedious when youâve got adhd âcause that shit is boring af
Sometimes simple but boring shit is like slogging through the thickest mud. You know you gotta do it, but your brain really doesnât want to. Itâs the worst.

Hey. LIVING COSTS MONEY! How about giving more money to the companies that employ me and MAYBE I MIGHT BE OK
This is such a funny thing to me because in Thai culture, itâs completely normal to live with your parents when youâre an adult. In fact, most people live in their family home until theyâre married ¯\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
Saaaame in Pakistan dude and being abroad for grad school is really fucking me up I am not built to be even slightly independent đ
In Western culture (including America!) it was completely normal for people to live with their parents in adulthoodâsometimes until they married, sometimes longer. In America, that changed (for men) in the 1940s and 50s, when it was really really easy for an 18 year old to get a good job that paid more than enough to live a comfortable life on, or to afford college which would then practically guarantee you an even better-paying job. Women joined the trend of moving out at 18 in the 1960s and 70s.
And now those jobs donât exist, or are few and far between, and guess what! People are living with their parents again. But that 70-year span was just long enough that it fell out of common memory, and now people are seen as âfailuresâ because the economics have changed.
A very great deal of Western culture, ESPECIALLY America, is actually still based on a memory of the 40âČs and 50âČs as the baseline of normalcy despite them being a total fluke at the time. World War II and McCarthyism created a massive shift towards rabid patriotism, Christian fundamentalism and the ideal of the ânuclear familyâ that resembled nothing before it and weâre still recovering from as the majority of our most powerful politicians are old enough that this period of sudden fanaticism is their ânostalgic good old daysâ and the way they think things are âsupposed to be.â
I love when these posts randomly become tiny history lessons, it soothes me

REBLOG FOR GOOD JOB GETTING KARMA COME ON GRAB A PIECE
i'm sure someone has said it already but have you noticed the "comfy girl" romanticization
doesnât extend to fat people?
a thin girl wearing sweats and a messy bun and old t-shirts or jerseys and slippers and etc. is cute and so loveable and sexy and girl next door like
but a fat girl in the same exact outfit is sloppy and lazy and unattractive and must mean she doesnât care about her appearance and doesnât take care of herself
The further you are from the thin/cis/white/etc. definition of âbeautyâ, the more intensely you are expected to perform femininity as a way to âmake up forâ your failure to be perfect.
What a perfectly succinct way to put it.
Somebody said it.
Being kind is like?? the best thing in the world?? Making other people feel loved and happy is so rewarding?? And having people actually liking you for being nice to them is the best feeling ever??
friendly reminder this shark week that - for every human killed by a shark 25 million sharks are killed by people - when we swim weâre in THEIR habitat - they donât even like to eat us weâre too bony, when they do bite us they think weâre seals - sharks have been around since prehistoric times and now theyâre endangered animals because of us -the media likes to portray sharks as deadly monsters bc they look scary but really weâre the ones killing them
âmakeup is an art/a form of self-expressionâ totally falls apart when you see the way women are mocked when they go off-trend
âthe woman who chooses not to wear cosmetics at all faces sanctions of a sort that will never be applied to someone who chooses not to paint a watercolorâ (Bartky, 1998, p. 33)
