dorm tips!!

since everyone is moving into dorm, i thought i could share from my 3+ years of experience of sharing my living space with someone else:

okay you pups always keep some extra batteries and lightbulbs; you don’t want it to be 11pm and have no stores open anymore

put things on your walls, it’ll automatically make you feel more at home

change the locks on your drawers

always, always check with your roomate(s) if it’s okay to bring people over; even if it happens spontainously, sending a text when you’re on your way means the world

don’t ever, ever let cooked food out for longer than an hour; it just gets super gross and no one wants to deal with that

make sure to discuss with your roommate(s) the details regarding the quality of both of your lives: plan a cleaning/washing dishes schedule and stick to it

headphones will save your ass ~

ask your roommate(s) out from time to time; they’re probably as lost, homesick and new to this as you and it doesn’t hurt to just be… nice

have at least 4 cups and extra pillows (throw pillows are OK)!! you never know when you’ll spend lazy afternoons with your friends and you will want to make their stay as comfortable as possible

don’t keep your lamp open after 10-11pm. it’s common sense

extension cords are the bomb!! have one with you

don’t go anywhere without slippers; dorms are dirtier than you might think

sharing food is everything, we’re all hungry and broke students

don’t bottle things in, you’ll only turn bitter. if something bothers you, talk it out with the person.

dry shampoo is a must; it’ll save so much time when you’re in a hurry and don’t want your hair to look gross

keep in touch with the people you left behind; skype sessions with people you didn’t even realize you’ve missed are healing the soul

air freshener might seem like an unneded addition, but it’ll help so much in making the room feel more put together; especially if all you’ve done in the past days was study. related to that: open your windows

have an extra alarm clock! no matter how reliable your phone may be, at some point it will fail you

coupons? COUPONS!

folding is tricky and the only way to make it better is to practice. or, if you want to save space, you can just roll your clothes

it won’t be only about what you want anymore, but more about what you need; weigh carefully if you need another phonecase!!

if dorm is too loud, most buildings come with a study space that you can use almost anytime. really, go there

your college cafeteria might as well be your cheapest resource when it comes to a proper, warm meal, try to eat some soup at least once/month

bedding costs A LOT. okay, there’s nothing shameful in using some old ones, even if it features the most colorful cartoons

don’t borrow anything without asking. ever.

everyone seems nice at the beggining; make sure you don’t plan your whole life around the roommate who might turn out to be an asshole

any more tips added are appreciated! send me in any question that you mgiht have or tell me about your dorm experience!!

if there’s a silver lining, it’s that for once, jean grey can’t claim the moral highground. everything’s always a competition with you.

The fact that Snape is one of the youngest if not THE youngest professor is fucking hilarious.

d-cookie-deactivated20210317

Like how does he get away with half the shit he does like almost everyone there has taught him since he was 11 and they just see this 21 year old just walk back in like "Sup fuckers I'm a professor now by force better so you better start treating me like one."

d-cookie-deactivated20210317

7th years in the school are like probably "Didn't this fucker graduate 3 years ago?"

maybeshesnaped

Imagine being a fourth year who has done /said something to your classmate Snape and then in your 7th year he's your TEACHER

d-cookie-deactivated20210317

THAT'S LOCKHART THAT'S LITERALLY LOCKHART LIKE

1. He Went to School with Snape

2. Got taught by Snape

3. Became part of the Staff like Snape

And the Fact that he's acting like he knew shit about potions is hilarious cause you just got Snape in the corner like

"Listen here you little shit . I taught you. I've seen your test scores. I graded those shits and you coming in here talking about being able to come up with an antidote?...Sit down."

d-cookie-deactivated20210317

The more people reblog this the more shock I am that they didnt know Snape started teaching at like 21 and he's like 30 first book

d-cookie-deactivated20210317

People in the tags for the past week having been confused and going bananas so like we gonna forget about the movies. Because the movies got it all wrong

Snape is 31

Hagrid is 63

Professor Mcgonagall is 56

Lupin and Sirius and Peter (3rd movie/book) 33

Dumbledore is 112

Do what you will with this info fam

You forgot Burbage. In the books, she's in her twenties.

the-witches-son

Bringing this back around, when Snape started teaching in Aug/September 1981, he was 21

In Aug/September 1981, Lockhart was 17 :')

cokeworthprince

lockhart, 17, never fucking learned how to read: actually professor ;-)

snape, professorially, as if he hasn’t just had his last growth spurt: on god, i’ll smack the shit out you. put—your hand—down.

@cokeworthcauldrons , your tags are fantastic

So I just reblogged with this info but every fandom needs to see this

THERE IS AN EXTENSION CALLED SAVE PAGE WE

It’ll save an entire webpage, no matter how long it is. It saves all text, most photos, but no videos. I use it mainly for offline fic reading as my wifi goes out in heavy rain, but it’s useful as fuck.

All you gotta do is go to your webpage of choice, I.e a fanfiction, and click the icon. After about 10 seconds it saves the webpage to your Downloads folder with everything you see. Just like a webpage.

You shouldn’t have to worry about space, because my HTML folder is 300 MB, holding over 500 webpages. I even went to the trouble of looking at each fanfic folder individually, and for 20+ chapter fanfic, it takes up about 2MB. Every webpage I glanced at was about 500KB, more if I haved it from Tumblr and had a bunch of pictures saved on accident.

So yeah. This exists. Putting this out there for all the paranoid readers who are scared of waking up and finding their favorite fics are gone.

Me: No one is hiring me

Adults: you’re just not trying hard enough

Me: oh yea, sorry about that. Let me apply “harder” this time. I’ll be sure to write my contact info extra “hard” this time. I’ll make sure to touch up my resume and make it hella “hard” this time around too.

Adults: You just need to hit the pavement, knock on some doors, call the hiring manager!

Every job application ever: PLEASE NO UNSOLICITED VISITS OR PHONE CALLS.

Fact: Our reception pool forwards the names of people who call unsolicited on to HR, who puts the names on a DO NOT HIRE, CANNOT FOLLOW DIRECTIONS list.

This is what is the most terrifying about re-beginning the job search.

knight-of-trash

Fact: My brother was a store manager at AT&T for several years, and handled the hiring process. People that would call and call about the job wouldn’t get hired because, “They seemed to be the kind of people that would constantly need attention on the job, or wouldn’t make a good fit in customer service, because they don’t have the patience to wait for us to call them back.”

Meanwhile I’ve always been taught to do exactly those things because it “shows that you care and take initiative”

Here’s how I got my new job:

Made a profile on Indeed.

Crammed that fucker with every damn skill and job I have ever had. That time I ran roller-coasters for a month? On there. “Property Managing” my mother’s rental for six months because she was too lazy to drive over? On there. ALSO. If you are skilled in, say, Photoshop, don’t JUST put Photoshop as a skill. Also put Adobe Suite, Adobe Photoshop, etc. Put every possible term for your skill under the skills. Google skill lists and start slapping them in there if you have even a tiny bit of skill in them.

Downloaded the Indeed app on my phone.

Set up a saved search to show me all full-time jobs paying $15 or more per hour in my area, and set it to only show jobs with instant apply. I did not narrow it down by field or anything else. Just full-time, my area, $15/hr.

Wrote up a three sentenceish generic cover letter that was basically “I am good at customer service, client management, and handling the variety of tasks this job will involve. I will be available on X date and would love to speak to you about this position at your company.” But slightly more professionally put.

Just fucking clicked apply on everything. Anything that sounded like something I’d be willing and probably able to do. Like, I wasn’t applying to mechanic jobs or anything. But front-desk at a mechanic shop? Sure. Towing dispatcher? Sure. Print shop coordinator for some fancy real estate agency? Sure.

The beauty of Indeed’s mobile/quick apply is that once you’ve set up your profile on there clicking apply is literally all you have to do for about 75% of the quick apply jobs. Some will have a couple additional questions like how long you’ve done certain things, or when you’re available to start. Some have random fun questions like your favorite superhero (usually startups). You click that button and off your resume goes.

I spent about an hour every day doing this, submitted several hundred applications in the process, and heard back from…maybe 20. Got an interview at 4 or 5. Got hired at an insurance company that pays RIDICULOUSLY WELL. Took about a month.

Do I want to sell in insurance? Not particularly. But this job will support me, my art, my ability to buy a house, and PROVIDE RESIDUAL INCOME ONCE I RETIRE. Which. If I play my cards right I could do in as little as ten years.

Your mileage may vary with this technique, but given the way job hunting is set up now carpet bombing an application site like Indeed is always worth a shot. I will note that when I came across a job I thought sounded extra interesting and more in line with the fields I wanted to be in I’d save the application instead of applying, then take the time that night to put together a better full application.

Good luck. Job hunting is terrible.

This is all solid advice. One more piece of advice is be on the lookout for any career groups. If you manage to join any they can be a huge help whether it be making connections or just helping to keep your head on straight.

anyways the version of much ado about nothing starring catherine tate and david tennant as beatrice and benedick is a Classic. david tennant’s benedick is FULL chaotic dumbass, and catherine tate’s beatrice is past being full of rage and is completely done with everyone from the very beginning. plus, they just work off each other so well.

not to mention the costumes and props. benedick in drag? BENEDICK IN JORTS AND A SUPERMAN SHIRT? beatrice wearing a suit? beatrice swaggering around with a beer in her hand, while benedick sips on pink, fruity cocktails? benedick writing his love song to beatrice on one of those stupid little electric keyboards? unparalleled artistry.

oh absolutely ICONIC. and the fact that he gives his whole monologue after whilst covered in paint. “love me? [beat, looks down at his paint covered self] why?” truly how shakespeare intended it

I also love this. what a way to kick things off.

[Image Descriptions: Three images of David Tennant as Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing. Two gifs of him wearing cut-off jean shorts and a superman shirt, smearing paint all over his chest and face. One still image of him sitting in a golf cart covered in union jacks with his feet up on the steering wheel, sort of hanging off the thing. He’s wearing a military uniform. This is Benedick’s entrance in the play. End description.]
