richie hcs re: hobbies go

well obviously we can get the canon ones out of the way: he likes doing impressions and he likes comics. if i had to guess re: comics i’d say richie’s largely into spider-man because he’s 1) fucking annoying (said with love) and 2) implicitly yet inarguably jewish (much like richie himself lol) he probably also likes the fantastic four because god who doesn’t and of COURSE he loves the x-men because theyre for gay people. he likes jubilee. as he gets older i have enough (likely misplaced) faith in richie’s comedic sensibilities to say that he wouldn’t be into deadpool. 

i think richie collects things because i and most people i know with adhd do this whether or not we’re totally conscious of it. he probably goes through phases where he collects certain objects/types of clothing/things in certain colors/etc. 

he listens to a lot of music! and he makes killer playlists. spends a lot of time making mixtapes for the other losers and he decorates them all himself.

i don’t think he ever draws like seriously (not like bill) but he’s spent enough years doodling dirty jokes and comics on his (and his friends’) homework that he’s developed a passable cartooning shorthand and he uses this power exclusively for evil

i don’t think he reads for pleasure like, consistently, but i do think he’ll occasionally get sucked into extremely brief but very intense phases of obsessively learning information on something completely random that he’s probably not even that interested in. you never know when he’s gonna drop a deeply obscure but 100% accurate fact about something that it doesn’t technically seem like he would/should know anything about. he does it for attention mostly but also by accident

i’m having trouble thinking of things richie would do as a hobby on his own which i think is mostly because imo he avoids being on his own as much as possible. hes an extrovert (not to be corny) and he gets in a weird funk if hes on his own for too long. so probably a lot of his free time is spent tracking down whichever of his friends isn’t (that) busy so he can tag along/harass them

How to study for finals

Here’s how I’ve studied form my final exams since I started univerisy, so far this method has granted me the best grades I’ve ever had in my whole scholastic career, enjoy!

First thing first in this method is very important to pay a lot of attention in class, since one of the main parts for the creation of the study material will be notes. I try to take my notes on my pc because I type way faster than I write, I personally like to use OneNote to take notes in class on my computer since is very easy to sync inbetween all of my devices, also is free! taking notes is a crucial step in this method because later on they will be the basis for our huge study guide. These notes don’t have to be fancy or anything, they should be just very rough and simple notes.

When I get home i transfer all of my note in a single Microsoft Word document and I Also correct any typos and grammar mistakes. Then once i have a good nomber of notes on my Word document I print it out.

Once I print it out i get all the material that my theacher gave me (eg. handouts, presentations etc.) and start revising the notes, adding informations where they are needed, corretcing errors, rewriting parts that were not written clearly and overall making my text easier to read. I also like to correct any formatting-related things (like underlining words taht should be in bold or in italic and so on)

If some things are still not clear or i don’t understand it I check my book or the internet for more informations, by doing this I don’t have to read the whole book, but just the things that my teacher wants me to learn.

Last but not least, I correct the original Word document using the notes that I revised and corrected as a guide and I print out the final document. This way I have a very big study-guide with everything that I need, written in my own words and ready to be studied!

I usually read this study guide 4 to 5 times to be ready for the exams, the informations in the study guide are so condensed that it takes me just a couple of days to memorize it but it is also complete enough for me to have all the informations I might need for the exam. Moreover while making it I am actually able to think critically about the material and understand it better.

I hope this guide will help many other students, if you have any questions about this method feel free to ask.🌸 

(also sorry for my english eheh)

Have a nice day darlings～

i’ve been having a typical teen existential crisis l8ly so wooooooooo so i’ve been thinking about a lot of things so here is my general advice i have learned in my 17 years of livin’ :-)

SKIN IS JUST SKIN!!! every1 gets pimples once in a while n it is a ok a ok a ok. iz just skin. just skin! iz ok.

holy cRAP u feel shit about urself b/c u feel insecure & jealous of someone over the internet!11!!1!!! holy cRAP me 2!!! take some time to regroup & remember what’s important. get off social media, take a walk, do what makes u happy. when u feel better, go back.

save ur moneh $$$$ life is expensive yo (esp uni holy hECK)

make the right choice. when ur debatin abt smthing, think 2 urself, “hmmmmmm... what’s the right choice?” & just do it. u will feel sm better i promise bb

b a person of their word. don’t b flakey. nobody likes flakiness. if ur not a person of ur word, ur kind of an asshole. u can’t b trusted. idk i h8 flaky ppl

where u go to uni/what u major in does not define ur life most ppl change careers anyway :-)

trust people until they give u a reason not to. aft that b skeptical.

find a reason 2 keep u going. it doesn’t have 2 keep u going 4 ur entire life. a tv show on monday’s makes u look forward 2 monday’s? wonderful. fantastic. excited 2 go to school just 2 c ur friends? great. keep that close 2 ur heart.

take time 2 grow who u r. when u grow who u r, and expand, u will not b threatened when u lose one aspect. b open 2 change :-)

write & take pics of everythanggg

take care of urself. obvy easier said than done. but it’s the lil things that add up, yk? get enough sleep. wash ur hair. clean ur room. lil things.

u r never alone. ever ever ever. never. there is someone who cares 4 u. “but kai no there’s not! no1 cares 4 me” hi i do. i care 4 u. i suck shit at responding to messages but if u r ever in a dire moment n u think no1 cares for u i want u to remember i care for u.

b grateful. b appreciative. b thankful every day.

ur best does not mean ignoring every aspect of ur life for that 1 thing

b cautious when overreacting abt things on social media. eg they don’t text u back right away, they didn’t like ur ig pic whatever. b wary. maybe they just didn’t c it, dude.

recognize that wanting 2 tear other ppl down says smthing abt u. doesn’t mean ur a bad person. it means smthing in u is damaged. don’t tear ppl down. bring urself up :-)

u hv so many years ahead of u that r bigger n brighter than anything u could possibly imagine

let things go

u can change ur life rn. progress, not perfection. progress.

aim 4 progress, not perfection. aim 2 make 2day’s u better than yesterday’s u and that’s it. not better than anybody else. ur only competition is u.

i love u <3 <3 <3 kai xo

21 February 2017 // EXAMS ROUND 1 Practice, practice, practice they say. So, practice, practice, practice I do. Exam season is upon us, and as always, I feel unprepared. We shall see what's in store, and what I'm capable of. Hopefully I do well. Wish me luck 🍀 🎧 "The Reason" by Hoobastank
