Being in college as an introvert AND living in the dorms is both a nightmare and a dream

a dream because i’m away from home and i can be independent

a nightmare because i have a roommate, i am constantly surrounded by people no matter where I am and I have no alone time to myself which i value a lot. Along with my ADHD it is definitely something, I have found ways that have helped me and could potentially help anyone else that deals with this type of problem. Even if it isn’t for college specifically, it’s just some good tips.

• headphones

dude….these are lifesavers. i am always walking around with headphones on or earbuds. i just got me some over the head headphones which are really nice and noise cancel just the right amount that it doesn’t make my head explode and hurt. And does a good job of telling people “i’m busy” and also helps keep me focused whenever i’m doing any work or projects for my classes.

• Calender/notebook planner

OKAY. BEFORE YOU GROAN HEAR ME OUT. I hate planners. like LOATHE THEM. But I wanted to try something new so I would have a spot where I could just slap all my homework and stuff in, I found Notion which is a calendar thingy that you can customize and make it all cool and whatever and there’s templates you can use. i don’t remember which one I used but it’s a plant one that had a bunch of pixel art and was for university.

I like putting in the work to put each and everything in to the calendar as it makes me want to use it more. and I get to look at things i like, for example I had a ghibli themed this past semester which made me happy. And for the new semester I changed it to a Zelda theme. This has made me more motivated to do work as well.

I had everyone tell me “oh use google calendar” NO. no. it’s boring. it looks plain, i need to be looking at things i like and Notion works for me. but I do know some people who just straight up use the Canvas calendar

• boundaries

yep. boundaries. it’s a necessity, I had to learn that very quickly since i am constantly around people. If you are getting fed up with someone. set that boundary. or anything really, set the boundary

sometimes I will go into an empty classroom that i know has no classes going on at the time and i will sit in there and just be alone for a while. it’s a great way to recharge as well as cool off if there’s anything bothering you

•it’s okay to say “no” when you don’t want to go somewhere

this goes along with the boundaries thing but still it’s good advice to learn to stand up for yourself. especially if there is someone who is continually pestering you, or if you have been adopted by an extrovert (luckily for me my college is very small and we are all gamers and nerds so i don’t have that problem as much)

If you have a car, and you become the “chauffeur” (the person who drives around people) for people. you can say no to taking them somewhere. gas prices are expensive and there are times where you are too busy, or even just don’t want to drive. i have plenty of those so i tell them no or give an excuse that i need to work on homework

also you can take advantage of your car and either scream in it, or just sit there and recharge if you have nowhere to go

that’s really all the advice i have for you, or if you know someone who would need it? send it to em or reblog or whatever you want.

have a good time zone!

Hi I'm Piper!

This is my main, I think of it as an archive of my favorite fanart and textposts of my interests, AKA, reblog hell.

Where the cool stuff happens:

Art sideblog

Self taught artist

I'm attempting to be a writer

Casual gamer

I'm an adult and thus I will occasionally reblog posts containing adult themes

Into spec-bio! Not super hardcore but all my friends call me the biology nerd

I have Must Tag Every Character In The Post disease, it's incurable

I really like subnautica :)

^ I CANNOT PLAY THE SEQUEL (only own a laptop) AND I AM AVOIDING SPOILERS

I have a lot of original characters

I do a lot of art and doodles, mostly of characters belonging to me and my friends but I've been doing more fanart recently! I've also been interested in writing for a very long time and I've been doing but I have only recently started posting things.

I like space, both the real life science and stuff going on up there but I also really like it as a sci-fi setting. Also into cryptids and stuff like that but not in like a conspiracy theory way...? More of a 'I like the aesthetic and the prompts and lore ideas I get from freaky lil buggers in the woods'

My friends have this ridiculous theory I'm not human and I am in fact an alien or critter in disguise but I assure you that's completely bogus and I'm 100% human and I have a normal number of limbs.

Tagging:

#Piperamble < self explanatory. Ramblings and textposts of mine

#Piperquestion < my asks and when I post questions

#Friend art/#Friend oc/#Friend ramblings < also self explanatory. Art/writing/sillies/shitposts by my friends and mutuals

Spoilers < I reblog art, analysis, and screenshots from a variety of fandoms, many of which contain spoilers, but I try to tag posts as such so that people can block them easily. I generally follow the format of "[media name] spoilers" (e.g. "outer wilds spoilers" "slay the princess spoilers" "echoes of the eye spoilers") with the exception of the murderbot diaries, which I tag by the name of the book (network effect spoilers are tagged "network effect") and the horizon games, which I tag "hzd spoilers" and "hfw spoilers" respectively.

Thank you for reading my rambling, I hope to see you again soon!
