I’m studying for my philosophy final and half of it is over morals. Guess who was a major philosopher dealing with this subject?
Kant.
Guess what I hear every time I read his name.

I was looking at glasses online out of curiosity (I miss my old “nerd frames” - the solid black ones I had two years ago).
I noticed a multicolor search option, so I hit it out of curiosity:
You can get. Rainbow. Prescription. Glasses.
I know what I’m getting myself for my birthday!!! (which just happens to be during Pride Month)
Me: If you leave the lights on, the car battery will die.
Dad: It has automatic shut off! :)
Me: ...It's a 22 year-old car. The lights won't-
Dad: They'll shut off! >:(

College Textbooks???
I was at the campus bookstore a couple weeks ago when a mom and freshman daughter were buying textbooks. Their grand total? Over a thousand dollars. I kid you not. My freshman year I spent over $600 on books, and that was before I had to take all the classes I do now.
As an American senior college student, I've learned a trick or two for going around the high price of textbooks. Here's my advice (please share this and make it spread as much as possible!!!!)
1. Write down all of the textbooks that you need. This means (yes, I know) reading the class syllabi. The professors usually list the required books in this. If it is a "supplemental book" do NOT go out and get it. These can sometimes be found either online or at your school's library. Usually you don't even need them.
Wait. I know what you're thinking and how you feel: you need the books before the semester starts! But hang on. Wait until you attend your classes. The first day of class the professor will go over the syllabus and textbooks. Sometimes they even put the first chapter online for you. Others even reserve the books at the school library. My point is that you may not need to obtain the book yourself. It may already be at the school for you to borrow as you need.
Once you know what books you'll need, make yourself a mini chart. You're going to basically conduct your own price matching. Sure, there are websites that claim to do it for you, but I've found books for way cheaper than those sites claim them to be. These are the sites I use every year (I got five or six books for about $100 this semester): Textbookrush; Chegg; Amazon; Thriftbooks; Valorebooks. I've heard that Ebay is good too, but I don't personally use it. Write down the price on each website for each book, noting whether it's a rental or used. This will also be helpful if you end up both renting and buying books, like me.
A couple notes for when you're price matching: A. Don't be afraid of used books. The only site where I would worry about this is Amazon, and then I would check the reviews of the actual provider. I have yet to get a junky used book from buying online. B. Rentals are great! If you don't need a computer access code and the book will never be helpful to you outside of college, by all means just rent it! But ultimately this decision comes down to the cheapest option.
Once you've found the cheapest prices for your books, make the purchases and have them sent to your house/dorm/apartment. MAKE SURE TO SAVE THE BOXES AND PACKAGING. If it's a rental, you can re-use this at the end of the semester. Even if you bought the book, you can use the packaging if you want to re-sell the book. (Yes, you can sell your textbooks at the end of the semester! I'd recommend Chegg or Valorebooks for this. Sometimes your school may even buy them from you. This is all called textbook buy back...at least at my university.)
That's all the advice I have. If you have any questions, please message me or send me an ask!
Your old and ready to graduate college student,

My heart is screaming in my chest and I ckjadlfkajf They’re finally a thing and I’m screaming that was so adorable and it was so good. I freaking cried. I cried.(That actually isn’t too big a feat - I cry at Disney movies) But STILL
All in all, completely worth it.
Went to church for the first time in over a month. It started off alright, until the pastor's wife critiqued a pro-abortion sticker of a church member's roommates' car (the car belonged to a church member's roommates, not her). The lady made sure to say that "she'd have to ask the girl (the member) what she thought about abortion" .
Then at service, the pastor was listing the bad messages of the world, including multiculturalism and science for some reason? I....I just. Science. Multiculturalism and accepting others. Being a Christian and not dismissing others by saying you're superior. It was all so contradictory.
And science???? He said how logic isn't a God-given gift. He made it sound like it's just an Earthly thing like....what is it then??? What does he think it's for? Why do we have it?
And prying into that girl's business like that. What would she say if I ever mentioned that I'm not straight? I just.....I can't. There was also gossip in Sunday school about another college student who attends the church. I just happen to know this girl from my major. But they were harsh. And then they were all sweet and nice to her later. I can't with the two-facedness.
Hhhhh I don't even want to mention how I felt forced to be hyper-feminine. I'll have to ask my counselor what church she goes to, because dang. I don't want to go there again. I'm grateful to them for their help and them assisting me in a time of need, but the message they have doesn't seem right.
Oh, and the pastor went on about hedonism and "if it feels right" being wrong. Like. I'm not a hedonist, but I know when something is right or wrong. I know when an idea is bad or good (like my family's abuser). I use my logic to get through situations, and I pray, and I love others. Like.....how hard is that to grasp?
That church didn't sit right with me.
