Hi Asha! If someone hasn't already asked you this, what are your tips for incoming freshmen in high school? Best of luck to you in school!

rapidly googles what ages are freshmen

Ah, that year. As someone from the UK, I honestly have no clue what it’s like starting another school at 14 - by that time, I had already been in secondary school for three years already, more or less. So, uh, I was in year 9 at that age. Righty. I’ve gotta be honest, because of this, I can’t really give much specific advice, but here’s some pointers from someone who’s relatively successful in school:

Don’t fuck with your teachers. They’re there to help, for goodness sake, and they’re humans. I’m great friends with almost all of my teachers, and d’ya wanna know why? I respect them, and they respect me back. Admittedly, I’ve had the good fortune to have some amazing teachers, but almost all teachers feel the same inside - they want to help. Of course, if you feel singled out or bullied by a teacher, that’s a different case - tell someone. Emma Blackery explains it really well here.

Just freakin’ do the work. For the love of god just do your damn work. I know, it’s hard, and I’m guilty of leaving it until the last second - hell, I got through most of my GCSEs without doing homework (which is bad and don’t do that I’m lucky I still got good grades), but still, do your damn work. You’ll regret it if you don’t, and it’s not worth hours of overtime and stress for half an hours worth of homework.

Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Again, teachers are there to help, damnit. If you don’t get something, don’t just sit on it and feel sorry for yourself, ask someone. A friend, a teacher, a parent, whatever. Ask someone to explain it to you, and if you still don’t get it, go home and do research on your own.

I don’t know what entering high school in different countries is like, but making friends really ain’t that scary. I’ll tell you now that I know everyone in my year, I’m friends with most of them, and I’ve never been bullied. How did I do this? I’m indifferent. I don’t get involved in bullshit drama, and you shouldn’t either - it’s a waste of time, and not worth the effort. Be friendly with people, but make sure that they know where you stand. Saying that, I’ve also never dated anyone, so maybe I’m not the best person to ask...

Don’t listen to the people that tell you you’re not doing enough. Ask yourself, every single time you’re in school, “Am I doing my best?”. If the answer is yes, then you’re fine. You’re doing fucking perfect, whether you’re getting As or Ds. Do your damn best, and no one can ever ask anything more of you.

In addition to this, don’t be unrealistic. Don’t try to push yourself over your own limit. Don’t listen to the people who tell you to get more organised if you know you can’t. Don’t be unrealistic. It’ll just get you down, in the end.

Eat your fucking breakfast.

I could probably add more to this, but I’ll leave it at that. Just remember that school isn’t supposed to be a nightmare. You have to be there. Make it enjoyable, take subjects you like, make friends with everyone, don’t get involved in messy situations, and please, please, appreciate your teachers. I’m always here if you need advice, darlings ♥

You like Aomine, right? Was the ever a point where you were like "I JUST WANT TO FUCK YOU BUT I ALSO REALLY WANT TO PUNCH YOUR FACE IN, AOMINE"?

literally every time i see him i think that

[imagine-free-ball]

You are trash, but you know, your our piece of trash 🌹❤️😘😘😘😘

i may be trash, but i am loved trash ♥

[imagine-free-ball]

hello i promise i’m not trash and i’ll be back to writing some time today ♥

thankfully this school ‘week’ was only two days and i only have like two pieces of homework so i actually have some spare time ^^”

Headcanon: Hara is a fair bit taller than Hanamiya (9cm, or 3.5in). Hanamiya is endlessly sour about this, and Hara is well aware of this fact; so much so that he brings it up almost every time Hanamiya looks even a little irritable (which is most of the time). People ask Hara how he got so good at dodging punches, every now and again - he just grins and looks towards Hanamiya.

(i know i’m supposed to be away but i was talking with fairy-tail-babes like 2 days ago and she mentioned that Hara is 6′2 and i just.. yeah)

SCHOOL

Got your attention, huh? This is pretty much all that’s been going through my mind recently. For example, I’ve spent at least eight hours today reading about currency exchange, which is, apparently, a lot more convoluted than mere division and multiplication. So, yeah, I can’t focus on writing at the moment.

School starts for me on Thursday (you’ll see another announcement then), so I’m going to go on a teeeeeeeensey-tiney break from now (Tuesday) until Friday so that I can finish a few things off and settle back into school.

I still love you all very much, thank you for sticking by me, and sorry about all of the... Gone-ness recently. School is a thing  ゜・（ｘ ω ｘ）・゜

♥

[imagine-free-ball]

[imagine-free-ball]

Answers & Replies

Where have I been? Not gonna lie - lying in bed contemplating how I have the misfortune to get ill two days before school starts again. Anyway, I’m up now... At 1:30PM... grumble (funny story it was 1:30PM when i wrote this then i got distracted. it’s 2 now.)(it’s 2:45 now. today is not a good day)

Answers/replies under the cut! Some leftovers from yesterday, too.

Anonymous said: *holds out cake* Happy birthday Aomine-kun! Blow out the candles and make a wish! *wiggles eyebrows*

Aomine: “A wish, huh?” He considers for a moment, before moving to blow out the candles. “I’ll never get tired of doing that. Just don’t ask what my wish was...”

Anonymous said: You're so tempting Dai-chan~ I want to give into you but you'd get too much satisfaction out of that.

Aomine: “Trust me, it’d be worth it- For both of us.”

hanamiyassmakoto said: Aomine and i almost share the same birthday !! Ψ(´▽｀)Ψ mine is on the second hehe

Aomine: “Happy birthday for tomorrow, then!”

And of course, happy birthday from me, too! ♥

muahaha i’m here to ruin lives and teach english

but seriously, i’m kinda glad/honoured/very happy to hear this - make the most of it, darling! ♥

lordfarsquaaad said: This isn't supposed to be a request but do you think Sosuke and Nijimira would be friends? How would they interact with each other?

I can totally see them being friends, tbh. The dynamic of their friendship is what I’d find hard to explain - like, they’re friends, and they get along, but don’t spend much time with each other? They both have a similar demeanour, although I think Nijimura is slightly more prone to speaking his mind; Sousuke’s the type to keep stuff to himself, and that’s where they’d clash. But they both acknowledge the others mature, realistic outlook, and appreciate the sacrifices they’ve made for others.

Please Read - An Important Notice

Ah, it feels like yesterday I was typing up the post to say I’d be on hiatus due to my GCSE exams. This blog has grown over the summer, despite my various writing troubles and numerous mini-hiatuses, and I’m proud to say we’re still going strong. I don’t want this to change. Like, I love this blog to pieces, even though my brain tells me otherwise some days - sitting down to write something, then maybe getting some messages or seeing someone’s reblogged it with nice tags, or getting a lot of notes on something… Ah, it’s a great feeling, and it keeps me going. So, why am I writing this?

I’m going back to school soon. Without going into detail, I’m going to try and state why this is more of an issue than when I started this blog back in late March… There’s a lot expected of me over the next two years. To get into the university I want I have to achieve top grades in four A level subjects (sorry, non-UK people ^^”), which is going to be tough on me. I mean, I can get it done, but I’ll probably have to put some effort into my school work now, rather than just coasting on by. Whiiich means that I won’t have as much time to write. I’ll still have time, but not as much. And I don’t want to stop this blog. Like, at all. Ever. It’s become a passion of mine.

Sorry that was so wordy… Here’s the point of this post: I want a new Admin.

I’ve thought about this since fucking May, before exams started, but I’m stubborn and proud and I love this blog as my own, and if I had a choice, I’d continue to run it on my own, but that’s no longer an option if I want it to continue growing and satisfy you guys. So yeah, new Admin.

Keep reading

An inofficial closure...

So the MTC event for Aomine’s birthday will officially close whenever we I wake up tomorrow morning. Both myself and the birthday boy are headed to bed (Not like that, stop looking at me strangely...), so we won’t be able to answer anything else for now, but keep sending ‘em in! We’ll answer in the morning. ♥

[imagine-free-ball]

*glares at aomine*

Aomine: He glares back, albeit in a confused manner. “What did I do wrong this time?” Narrowing his eyes at you, he draws closer. “Did you go and tell Satsuki what I said about her cake? Did she send you?”

[imagine-free-ball]

I dunno Dai-chan, I'm a hard girl to catch. I live for the thrill of the chase.

Aomine: “What, and you think I don’t?” Grinning, he leans casually against the wall. “I’ll catch you, so you’d best get running.”

[imagine-free-ball]

I'd give myself to you, Dai-chan, for your birthday but that'd be too easy and I'm sure you'd enjoy a bit of a challenge.

Aomine: “Hey, I’m not going to complain either way. We both know I’d get you, eventually...”

[imagine-free-ball]

Happy Birthday Aomine-kun :D *kisses his cheek* I got you some Teriyaki burger so here ya go! *grins and runs away*

Aomine: “Huh? Burgers... Thanks!”

[imagine-free-ball]

I'm glad that I could help you with that ^^ Have a nice evening!

Thank you for the help, indeed, anon! You too ♥
