hard pill to swallow: there are some things that are not meant for you. you will meet people that are not willing to stay. there will be times that you will fail. but don’t be discouraged because alongside, you are meant to be something, you will meet people that will stay, and most importantly, you will get better.

Quick reminder, especially for you younger undergrads: Discipline is a skill, not a character trait. And just like any skill, it can be practiced and improved upon incrementally. Try not to get discouraged if you have a day, or multiple days, where you are less disciplined than you would like or need to be. Don’t quit. Don’t spend the next week binging Netflix because you think it’s a hopeless endeavour. Just get up the next day and try again. Each day you try is more practice, and each day you practice, you’ll get a little bit better, and that continual improvement will pay dividends in the long run.

Keep at it.

You got this

And keep finding ways that work for YOU rather than pushing yourself to study the same way you see everyone else study. Keep at it, you can do it!

you’ve probably taken a photo of yourself with your friends and looked at it and said “oh no, I look so bad!” and then heard your friends try to reassure you by saying “no you don’t, you look normal!” and felt awful because they must have been reaffirming your suspicion that you look bad, right? nope!

you gotta remember that you know your face more intimately than anybody else in the world. you look at yourself in the mirror and see yourself in windows and ponds and take selfies and examine your acne and eye bags and every little discolouration on your skin. you know exactly how good you can look and you know exactly how bad you can look. to you, the difference between one pimple & more pronounced eye bags and no pimples & regular eyes is ENORMOUS. it’s GIGANTIC. it’s so dang obvious that it’s like your face practically screams “I LOOK SO DIFFERENT!!!!!!!!” and when you’re having a bad face day you feel like a horrible ugly goblin

but to anybody who sees you? the difference is so small it’s barely noticable because unless they live with you and are around you literally 24/7, they’re not going to know your face as intimately as you do. when my friends wear makeup I think they look a bit prettier than normal. when my friends don’t wear makeup I think they look fresh and like themselves. when my friends don’t get enough sleep or look sick or I just think they look more tired. they look more or less the same to me, and though I may notice if they’re having a bad face day, it doesn’t change their appearance as drastically as they might think. they still look like their pleasant selves. everybody thinks the same thing about you. you still look great in their eyes!

it’s like when your artist friend is discouraged because they drew something that they think is horrible, even though you think it still looks amazing. your friend has spent ages honing their craft, they know exactly what they’re capable of, and to them, the drawing they just did doesn’t even begin to compare to what they’ve been able to do in the past, and it makes them feel like a failure. but you don’t see any of that thought process, or see the vision they had in their head of what they were drawing, or know how their drawing could possibly look better or worse. all you see is a pretty drawing. because it IS a pretty drawing. it’s just hard for your friend to see that. your face is the same way.

you’re a lot lovelier looking than you believe!

take chances with people. if you want to get closer to them, make sure they know you want to spend time with them. go to have coffee with them, text them first, make them feel loved, tell them little things that you love about them. most people find it hard to make the first move, both in friendships and romantic relationships, so a lot of potential relationships never happen. life is too short. so go for it, because more often than not it can make life brighter and softer and happier.

a fools guide to not wanting to die anymore

by me, a fool who doesnt wanna die anymore 

never make a suicide joke again. yes this includes “i wanna die” as a figure of speech. swear off of it. actually make an effort to change how you think about things.

find something to compliment someone for at least 4 times a day. notice the little things about the world that make you happy, and use that to make other people happy.

talk to people. initiate conversation as often as you possibly can. keep your mind busy and you wont have to worry anymore

picture the bad intrusive thoughts in youe head as an edgy 13 year old and tell them to go be emo somewhere else

if someone makes you feel bad most of the time, stop talking to them. making yourself hang out with people who drain you is self harm. stop it.
