So like, video still isn’t mine it belongs to someone else on tik tok I’m pretty sure you can see the name somewhere. But like I need friends lol and I’m going to New York City in like 2 days. I’m kinda excited and kinda not even though so many people want to go and don’t have the opportunities.

I kinda wanna plan other things for the summer to. Like I wanna make this summer really really fun. However, when I get back I need to look for a job to make this summer extremely fun. I want to go to the pool, the fair, the mall, the movies. I want to go have breakfast with friends, go to Santa Cruz and maybe even Disneyland. I kinda wanna save up for Disneyland so for senior ditch day I can go. Bruh do you know how awesome that shit would be?

Uhh video is not mine it belongs to vereenasayed on insta and I’m pretty sure on YouTube and on tik tok. Anyways, so I’m mad bored but I have my friends Hulu and my boyfriend’s Netflix to watch shit on. I’m trying to meet up with my internet friends this summer cause they mad lit.

Also, I really want to make friends here on tumblr but like I’m not really good with keeping up here cause liiiike. Yeah I’m not sure what excuse to make for that. I don’t really use tumblr that much. But I’m going to try??

Officially the first day of summer.

See it’s shit like this that make me realize I have no sense of fashion.

[growup-gloup]

Do you have any advice on how to develop your style/fashion better? I feel stuck when it comes to my personal style and I don't really know what to do about it 😬 I basically just wear hoodies and jeans lol any advice would be amazing ❤️ thanks ✨

Hey babe, 

You should start with a staple wardrobe that has the essentials. These essentials are versatile and can be used in many outfits and can dress up or down a look. Here are some essential that I recommend starting with:

Plain white dress shirt

Plain white tee

Black Pants

Blazer

Light washed jeans

Darker jeans

Black Leather/Pleather Jacket

Little Black Dress (LBD)

Skirts

Pumps

Black flats

Comfortable sneakers

“Cute” sneakers

After the basics, look around you. See your friends. Look at people on the internet. What styles stick out to you? Which clothes do you want to rock? Personalize your wardrobe with those, then. 

Bonus: As my most favorite most extra “insta baddie” Amber Scholl suggested, find a model/youtuber/celebrity whose style you like. You don’t have to be a fan of them, but you should like their style. Then find another one whose height and physique and complexion match yours as well. Obviously the last one will be harder because models tend to look so similar physique-wise. I still haven’t found one that goes with my body shape. But if you do find one, it’s good to see what styles would work best on that look before you go out and buy something. 

💋

Jesus Christ thank you so god damn much dude. I’ve literally been trying to think of how to help myself in fashion but I got nothing!

How to write an effective conclusion

Earlier this week I told you how NOT to write a conclusion. Here are some quick tips on how you can write an effective conclusion.

(1) What is the function of a conclusion?

Your conclusion is your opportunity to leave a lasting impression. A good conclusion should:

Answer the question “So what?” It should prompt your reader to think about the relevance of your argument beyond the context of your paper.

Remind your reader why your take on the subject is correct.

(2) What kind of information should I include in my conclusion?

Synthesize the information you presented in your paper (but be careful not to repeat or summarize—demonstrate how the points you raise fit together!).

Refer back to your introduction to demonstrate that you have met the goals of your paper.

Propose solutions to the problem you examine, or point out the wider implications of the issue you explore.

Raise any unanswered questions or areas that require further study.

(3) Is there anything I should avoid in writing my conclusion?

Yes! You can refer to my earlier blog post on types of conclusions to avoid. Also, you should try to avoid the following:

Do not use phrases such as “In conclusion…”, “In sum…”, or “In closing…”. These are overused and only point out the obvious: that this is the end of your paper. Instead, get right to it!

Do not introduce new ideas, arguments, or themes in your conclusion. Make sure everything that supports your argument and all of the issues you want to raise are in the body of your paper.

Do not summarize your paper. We already read it once, so you don’t need to remind us what you’ve already said.

(4) How long should my conclusion be?

For a standard undergraduate essay (10 pages or less), you can probably write an effective conclusion in one substantial paragraph (about one-half to three-quarters of a page). However, if you are preparing a longer and more complex essay, you will probably need more than one paragraph. A 20-page paper might need a two or three paragraph conclusion, and a dissertation may well need a whole chapter!

If you have any questions about writing conclusions, or about anything else related to academic writing, feel free to comment on this blog or connect with me via Twitter or Facebook.

writing an essay in college is very different from writing an essay in high school. personally, i write more research/history papers than literary essays (the liberal arts life and curse), so this is going to be a post on how a general research-y essay that has a thesis and arguments. 

intro

don’t open with a quote and don’t be overly broad. 

avoid generalizations 

your intro should address the topic of your essay (ex. the significance of gardens in renaissance society), and then narrow down to what you want to talk about in regards to your topic (ex. the political influence of the Medici gardens during the renaissance)

thesis! it should include the argument you want to make about the narrowed down topic, and three (or however many your class requires) reasons to support it. I like to think of it as W = X + Y + Z. 

your thesis explains who, what and why in a concise manner. 

body

topic sentences should not be a word for word copy of your thesis.

the order of arguments in your thesis is the order of your paragraphs 

depending on the length of your essay, there should be at least two justifications to your argument. 

so, just as the intro has a formula, X = A + B, and so forth. 

A and B should be backed up with some sources/quotes. don’t forget that if you are quoting from class notes to put either the prof’s last name, or (class notes)

be sure to have clear and concise arguments, don’t be flowery

USE WORDS THAT ARE ACCURATE. thesaurus is great but if you use a word that sounds cool but doesn’t capture the meaning you want to convey then don’t use it, because it may just change the meaning of your argument

quote whatever isn’t yours. it is completely fine if 90% of your sentences are quotes. its weird to get used to, but don’t worry about it. 

conclusion

the worst part in my opinion. 

synthesize don’t summarize. show how your arguments relate back to the thesis.

try not to copy paste your thesis into the conclusion, word it so that the readers understands that through XYZ, you were able to conclude and support argument W (referring back to the thesis formula)

do not add any new information, do not add quotes. 

your final sentence should tie up the essay in a pretty bow, but try to avoid clichés 

protips

when writing the body paragraphs, your ‘weakest’ paragraph should be in the middle, strongest as your last, and the second best as your first.

if you’re stumped on the intro, skip it. write out the body first, then the intro and you’ll be able to concisely word your thesis

think of your essay as an infomercial. your intro is the loud and clear HERES MY PRODUCT, the body is blasting information on why the product is so cool, and the conclusion is the final push for the viewer to buy that product. make your teacher want to agree with your thesis! 

use a mix of paraphrase and quotes!

don’t forget your works cited lmao (the MLA Handbook is a gr8 tool, also OWL Purdue)

prime time for essay writing is in the morning or at night, but make sure you edit it meticulously 

EDIT ON PAPER NOT ON YOUR SCREEN

stay humble, study hard

Friendly reminders taken from @cwote

Your mental health is more important than your grades

You are good enough, smart enough, pretty enough, and strong enough

Don’t just be good to others, be good to yourself too

Embrace all that is you

You will be okay

Just breathe. It will be okay.

Be proud of yourself for how hard you’re trying.

Be nice to yourself

Don’t beat yourself up. You are doing the best you can.

Be gentle with yourself, you’re doing the best you can.

Better things are coming.

Loving yourself is the greatest revolution.

Remind yourself, you deserve to be happy

Respect yourself. Don’t let others tell you who you are.

Learn to say no to people and things that make you unhappy.

Enjoy your own company.

Forgive yourself.

Never apologise for how you feel

Give yourself some credit. You’ve come pretty far.

Mental health is just as important as physical health.

Surround yourself with good vibes

Stop worrying about people who aren’t worried about you.

If you find you are surrounded by toxic people… Cut. Them. Out.

Trust yourself. You’re smarter than you think.
