The only “Not All Men” post I’ll reblog.

[dxmedstudent]

To break down rape culture, we need to stop teaching people that men can’t help themselves; they absolutely can look for enthusiastic consent, and they must. This is absolute bare minimum decent human being behaviour.

Tips for a car accident

1. Take inventory before you even get out of the car

• are you hurt?

• Did you hit someone or something?

•If you did are they okay

2. Take a deep breathe it’s going to be okay

3. Safely exit the vehicle and take stock of the damage

4.Trade insurance cards

•if it was a hit and run see if there’s a witness and trade their information

•if They got a picture of the lisence plate record it

5. If no one else did call the police

•they will call the tow truck for you

-the tow will cost $200 and an extra $50 for anywhere outside 5 miles.

6. Go to the hospital if you need to

7. Rest

8. Set a court date if you’re taking the person to court

•you’re gonna want a lawyer and witnesses

9. Take care of yourself it’s not the end of the world accidents happen.

College Tips for the Highschooler (or college newbie)

1. Community College is a gift, take it for granted.

While my friends paid two things of $18,000 for one semester I paid about 1,946.

2. If you get to schedule your own classes give yourself an hour break between each class.

This gives you time to do the homework you were just assigned, relax, and even take a nap.

3.If you need a semester break take it no ones judging you, take the time to save some money up for school.

4. Get a job.

Most colleges have on campus jobs even for community colleges. You’re gonna need the money don’t push this to the side.

5.Eat well.

Snacks are important, if you go a whole day not eating you’re memory is proven to not remember as much.

6. If you don’t like your professor drop the class.

You’re going to be distracted all of class simply because you don’t like them and in turn your grade is gonna suffer. Drop the class get the full refund and find a new professor for that class, if you need to wait till next semester for a new teacher that’s better than paying twice for the same class.

7. Get yourself a planner.

It will help, there’s a reason we have had agendas since kindergarten. I personally made a bullet journal for each class. Take your Syllabi and write down all those test days and everything.

8.Carpool.

Not only does it help the environment, it also helps your wallet. My car currently needs $25 for a full tank of gas. Meaning if I have five friends that give me $5 a week we all don’t have to pay for our own car’s gas and we all save $20.

9.Do your homework.

I have failed two (yes not one but two) classes simply because I hadn’t done the homework.

10. Apply for scholarships,

yes you might not win, but you might win and that’s such a better pay off. (No I haven’t won any yet but I’m still filling them out).

That’s all I’ve got for you on these tips. Feel free to ask for any tip topic you want I’m happy to make these.

Asthma Tips

Ladies at night take off your bra

It feels like heaven and is so much better for your body! It lessens the constraints put on your chest

2. Another sleep one, elevate, it helps because your lungs don’t have to struggle to push it up and out as much (or something idk)

3. Yes keeping a clean room is hard. So ignore the clothes and clutter (nope we’re coming back to that in a minute) and dust!!!! Dust dust dust!!!!!!!!! If you’re like me and constantly have the fan on all you’re doing is slowly circulating those dead skin cells and gross stuff. So dust at least once every other week!

4. Do your laundry. Believe it or not those are effecting the air your breathing. That sweaty gym outfit yeah dude it’s not helping.

5. Stuffed animals, protectors, lovies, whatever you call them. We all love them, we all have a special one. And gosh darn it you better be using febreze (or anything else that kills germs) on those nasty things because you show them all your love and they hold it forever, so show them some cleaning love as well.

6. If you’re like me and need it to be subzero to sleep at least get a humidifier! Don’t dry out your lungs!!!

7. I hope it’s implied by both the clothes and the stuffed animals but change your bed sheets.

8. Do as your doctor tells you!!! If they say to take a maintenance inhaler just do it dude!!

Thanks for listening to my rant guys, I appreciate it stay safe please.

Here is everything you need to know to survive your first year:

1. Friendship groups change and that’s okay. Not all of your friends are going to go to the same sixth form as you or some may not even go to sixth form at all and that is fine. Your friendship group might get smaller or you may not even have any. Don’t worry, most people are super friendly and welcoming so be sure to make new friends and talk to different people by stepping out of your comfort zone, but remember to be wise when picking your friends. There is no such thing as popularity, everyone is minding their own business and getting on with their own stuff so you don’t need 18 friends, one or two close friends are more than enough :) 

2. Make notes from day one. i can’t emphasise this enough!!! Whether its flashcards, mind maps or rewriting notes after the lesson, do it! Make sure you write the notes AFTER understanding the content from that lesson so you can consolidate your learning further and help it stick in your brain more! By doing this, you’ll have more free time in the weekends and also during your holidays you won’t have to make notes, you can simply revise and memorise your content! (i made my notes from day 1 but my best friend didn’t and our grades truly reflect the difference and she regretted it a lot 😖)

3. The BIG jump. i’m sure you must have heard about how big the jump is from GCSE to a-levels and how scary it is, but in my opinion it’s not as big as some people make it out to be. Yes there is a jump and yes the content is harder, but it is bearable and you will be fine as long as you have a positive mindset about it. 

4. Socialising and balancing life. this is KEY, especially if you have a job. While personally i didn’t have a job, a few of my friends did and they would always complain about late shifts and not having enough time to study. Make sure you get a job if you know you can balance it out with your studies, while money is a priority, your grades should be prioritised more (if you need financial help talk to your sixth form about it, i know my sixth form had many bursaries from academic excellence to not enough annual income). Make sure you don’t spend 24/7 studying - take time out for your hobbies, meet up with your friends, spend time with your family. Oh and while we are talking about free time, PLEASE USE YOUR FREES WISELY and it will be easier to balance out your life!

5. Extracurriculars and work experience. in my opinion, i think first year of a-levels is the best time to do lots of extracurriculars and work experience as you will have the time for it (u won’t be occupied with too much studying to do) and also you can then go on to talk about it in your personal statement if you are applying to uni! Alternatively, it can also help you decide which course you want to apply to or if you simply just want to do an apprenticeship!

6. Stay organised. each lesson you will be bombarded with many sheets of paper, you will need sheets from last week, you will need to bring in a booklet from a month ago, you need to hand in your homework, you have an assignment due in two weeks - just stay organised and you won’t forget anything! I recommend having a day folder where you keep relevant work for each subject and bring it into college everyday until you think you no longer need that piece of work anymore - this saves you from carrying three separate folders in each day *ouch*. also i recommend having a bullet journal/planner/ some form of organising system to help you keep track of everything, personal and school life!

7. Drama *sips tea*. so you thought you are going into sixth form and everyone is mature now so there will be no drama, haha i wish. There are some childish people and stress can cause mood swings as well, all of which can result in drama. Just try your best to avoid it and don’t get involved. If however you end up being involved in drama, don’t drag it, just be civil about it and resolve the issue. If it’s for a petty reason, simply just be the smarter one and walk away from it.

8. Do your homework. Please. Just do it.

9. “bUT fiRst yEAr doESN’T coUNt”.it doesn’t matter, just keep focusing on your work and don’t slack in anything or you will regret it. You need to remember content from this year for next year so if you don’t work hard this year, you will end up working 100 times harder next year when you should only be working twice as hard :) besides, if you want to go uni, grades from this year will be used to predict grades for next year for UCAS. 

10. Have fun. honestly after completing my first year i realised how independent i have become, how much freedom my sixth form has given me and how much fun i had! (despite the last few weeks being filled with unnecessary drama its good to have a laugh once you look back). i’m sure you don’t want to grow up and look back and think about how boring your sixth form years were, so please remember to loosen up a bit and do have fun! 

wow if you made it to the end of the post then you are determined and i am wishing you the best of luck when you start sixth form *hugs you vvvv tightly*! if you need help with any specific questions, shoot me a message or an ask and i would be more than happy to help!

[solaceintoxicity-deactivated201]

FUCKING LOVE YOURSELF

Love yourself. You do not have to “earn” self’ love. You don’t have to have a stressful day to light some candles around the bathtub and turn on some music and take a bubble bath. DO IT BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT. Paint your nails just because it’s relaxing and makes you feel good. You don’t have to have a stressful day at work/school to treat yourself to some candy. Scrape some spare change out of your car/couch and get yourself some damn candy because YOU’RE WORTH IT. One of our biggest faults is taking care of others before we take care of ourselves. We love so hard before we come remotely close to ACCEPTING ourselves. Massage your legs, take a frickin bubble bath, stretch your body, turn on your favorite show and r e l a x, care for yourself even if you didn’t “earn it”. You don’t have to have a bad day to treat yourself well. You deserve to treat yourself well each and everyday simply because you need self-love day in and day out. Take care of yourself. Pamper yourself. Frickin wash your hair every single day for 5 days. Make yourself feel good. You have earned it even if you didn’t get out of bed today. You DID earn it because you’re alive and your heart is beating.

Here's you're daily reminder that you are beautiful, amazing, and wonderful just by being you.

[palidoozy-art]

As per request (thanks, singingrabbitskull!), I did a half-tutorial, half-sporadic notes on how I generally render basic expressions.

There’s already a lot of cool tutorials that exist on how to do expressions, so I tried to just look at a lot of really minor details that I’ve used but haven’t seen commonly passed down.

required disclaimer: this is just how I go about it, feel free to ignore bits, steal bits, do whatever you want with them. Hope this helps, and if you have any questions scream at my inbox!

[drumshoww]

You notice that your friend has fresh self harm marks...

DO:

Ask “are you okay?”

Ask “are you going to be okay?”

Say “hey, just wanted to let you know I’m always here for you”

DON’T:

Point to the marks

Say “OH MY GOD” or “HOLY SHIT” or anything of the sorts

Make a huge deal

Yank up their sleeve / pant leg / reveal the marks more than they already are

Pull them closer to get a closer look

Make them feel bad about it

Act like they hurt you / let you down

Make them “promise to never do it again” (Because that’s just unrealistic)

[livingdaydream623]

Do: •Ask if they want to talk about it Don't: •Force them to talk to you if they don't want to
