they say that all of the bad things happen in your life to make you stronger. that something amazing is going to come for all of the crap that life put you through. so that’s my question: why has life put me through the wringer without some sort of payout? are there just some people who deserve one shit-storm after another? does this just mean that i’m meant to be some evil villainess who takes over the world? does this mean that i’m allowed to let the world burn by my hand?

Chris Evans is like a three year old who thinks Chris Hemsworth, age five, is a deity. In every image where they’re together he’s almost invariably adoring. There’s one where Hemsworth has him in a headlock and Evans is just like “this is my life now and that’s ok.”

Sorry it took me a while to find them!
I like how in every shot there’s at least one person in the background looking worried and one person looking a little turned on.
Hemsworth looks like he genuinely wants to murder him in this one. Acting.
And a bonus where Hemsworth is visibly holding him still:
I hope I have amused you and/or satisfied a kink
Hey guys, so I’m nearing the end of my senior year, and it’s been great so far! I accomplished my academic tasks efficiently and didn’t burn myself out, and I think the main contributor to my success as a student is my organization system. This system has been refined throughout my high school years, but I think now I’ve finally found the most effective methods.
Please remember that this isn’t the only organization system you can adopt; this is just the one that works the best for me, and I hope that by sharing it with you, you’ll gain a new perspective on how to stay organized as a high school student.
The first thing I wanna talk about is my notebook system, which I briefly mentioned in my Guide to Note-Taking.
My notebook system comprises three types of notebooks: the Everything Notebook, the subject notebook, and the revision notebook.
The Everything Notebook
The first stage is in-class notes. I only bring one notebook to school every day. I call it my Everything Notebook, and this is where I write down all of the notes I take in class. This way, I don’t have to lug around six notebooks where I’m only going to use a few pages in each of them that day.
Subject Notebooks
At the end of the day, I would revise my notes and compare them to the syllabus so I know where we are in the learning process. I would then transfer my class notes from my Everything Notebook to my different subject notebooks. This is stage two. I also start to jazz up my notes because I use the notes in my subject notebooks to study for tests.
In addition to my class notes, I include material from my teachers’ notes that they might not have elaborated on, as well as points in the syllabus (I’m currently taking A2) that were only glazed over briefly, or not at all, in some cases. (Note: this does not mean they completely skip a chapter or topic; it’s more like they missed a few bullet points that should be in my notes but aren’t. An example would be if we’re learning about phenol reactions and the teacher forgot to mention the use of FeCl3 as a test for phenol.)
Revision Notebooks
Stage three comes a little later, when exam week is just around the corner. Essentially, I rewrite and improve my notes from my five different subject notebooks into a single revision notebook or binder. (Recently, I’ve opted for a revision notebook because they’re lighter and easier to carry around.)
Because my teachers don’t always teach in the order of the syllabus, the first thing I do is organize my notes according to the syllabus. I would then fill in any other missing gaps in the material that hadn’t been filled in stage two.
When compiling material for my revision notebook, I use as many sources as possible: my own notes, my teachers’ notes, youtube videos, online sites, and my favorite, the mark scheme! I add in some answers from past papers (explanations only, so no calculations) mainly to secure marks. It’s safer to memorize definitions straight from the mark scheme than from the textbook or from handouts. I also do this to ease my memorization, especially for topics that require lengthy explanations. It’s a lot easier to remember the 6 points I need to explain the principles of NMRI than to remember everything in the four-page handout my teacher gave me.
Folders and binders are essential to organizing your papers. Some people keep a single accordion folder for all their papers, but for me it’s just too heavy to carry around all the time. The same goes for subject folders that are brought to school every day.
Instead, my binder/folder system comprises my Everything Folder and my subject binders.
The Everything Folder
The folder I carry with me to school every day is this A4 folder I got from Tokyu Hands. It has 5 pockets, one for each day of the week, so all the papers I receive on Monday will go behind the first divider, and so on.
Some people also keep blank papers in their folders; I don’t because my school has its own lined paper and graphing pads that I keep under my desk that I use if a teacher asks us to do an assignment on those papers. If I do work at home, I prefer to just use a plain A4 paper or a legal pad.
Subject Binders
At the end of the week, I’ll sort my papers into my subject binders. Sometimes I’ll keep some papers in the folder if I think I’ll be needing it the next week. This usually only applies to worksheets because all my teachers’ notes are available on Google Classroom, so I can access them even if I don’t physically have them.
Each of these binders have sections inside them:
Physics: 1 for handouts, notes, and tests, 1 for Paper 4 (Theory), 1 for Paper 5 (Practical Planning). I included extra tabs to mark the different topics in the handouts section.
Chemistry: same as Physics.
Economics: 1 for Paper 3 (MCQ), 1 for Paper 4 (Case Study and Essay). A lot of my Economics material is online, though.
English: 1 for Paper 3 (Text and Discourse analysis), and 2 for Paper 4 (Language Topics, which includes 1 for Child Language Acquisition, 1 for World Englishes). Past papers, handouts, and notes all go under their respective topics.
Mathematics: I just keep everything together because I never revise math and just constantly do past papers.
This makes it easier for me to revise each subject because I can just take one binder with me instead of a messy folder with everything just shoved in there.
I keep a magazine file for each of my A-Level subjects (English and Mathematics are combined). All my textbooks, revision guides, and subject notebooks are kept here, so if I need to revise one subject, that’s the magazine file I’ll take out.
These magazine files prevent any small things (like my book of flashcards) from being shoved to the back of my bookshelf, or materials from different subjects from getting mixed up.
In my senior year, I mostly plan using this app called Edo Agenda. It syncs across all my devices for free and has all the features I need: a to do list to organize tasks, monthly and weekly calendars to organize events, a journal to organize notes and memos.
I used to bullet journal regularly, but it takes too much time during weekdays, so now I just bullet journal for the therapeutic effects it gives me, and I use an app for organizing tasks and events. Sometimes at the end of each week, I’ll transfer my tasks to my bullet journal and then decorate the page, but again, this is just for its therapy.
Organizing your school supplies is just as important as organizing your papers and notes. With a more organized backpack and pencil case, you won’t waste time looking for your things at the bottom of an abyss.
Pencil Case
I don’t find it necessary to bring so much stationery to school unless I plan on making notes at school (usually during revision week).
Backpack
Because we’re already in the revision term, I don’t really carry a lot of things in my everyday backpack, just the following:
Pencil case
Everything Notebook
Everything Folder
Revision notebook
Kindle
Phone
Wallet
Earphones
Calculator
Speaker
Drinking bottle
A pouch with things like a hairbrush, pads, and lip balm
And that’s all for now! I hope this post will help you organize your school life (if you haven’t already) or at least provide some useful insights on some ways to stay organized as a high school student.
Slytherin: I avoid murder if I can help it.
how are you so insecure that you would do that to me? she wrote. how are you so deranged that this was okay in your mind?
Tears fall as I read the note she left. Truth is, in my mind, it wasn’t okay. I just did what I thought I needed to. In order to survive.
“Ha! Survival! That’s what this is about.” I could see her say it now.
If only, she would have taken what I gave her as a gift and accepted it. Without outing me as a psychopath. Without leaving. For the first time, she says it’s immoral. For the first time! She does this to me!
I don’t care if it was a head. I don’t deserve this.
Aaron: You're my boyfriend now just letting you know.
Spencer: *is too nice and awkward to protest* O-okay.
Aaron: You're cute when you don't know what to say. *smirks* Actually you're cute all the time, my little prince.
Spencer: L-little prince?
Aaron: Yes, baby boy. You're my little prince now.
It doesn’t matter what you think. The only thing that matters this point is what I’m doing. Which is making people laugh. You had your chance and it’s come and gone.
Jordyn Flowers, Adventures of a Part-Time Comedian
Have you ever been intoxicated by a person? Just the way they talk, act, and react sends you into a frenzy of confusion and emotions. Does the way they captivate the room bother you? You lurk in the shadows and just observe. You smile to yourself as he cracks jokes and has the whole room laughing. You admire that from the distance, always leaving plenty of space. This helps you go unnoticed.
But today...today, he noticed you. You laughed aloud at his joke with the rest of them. You made a mistake though, you made eye contact. He’s seen you. You can’t hide anymore. The nice thing about staying under the radar is that he didn’t acknowledge you. He just looked away and you ducked your head. But, you felt something; a fire building in the pit of your stomach. You search the room for another point to fixate on, but your eyes deceive you. They land on him once again and he’s staring back at you. The beat of your heart quickens and palms start to break a sweat.
How could someone so unfamiliar cause such an extreme reaction?
How could someone so perfect notice you?
i know its a stingray but it looks like cthulhu popped his head up to say hi
I thought it was a giant squid.
holy shit they get this big?
They do get this big! They also tame relatively easily and are surprisingly docile animals. Its popular to swim with them in many beachy areas. As long as you’re not stupid and mean to them, your odds of being hurt by them are very low.
I had the opportunity to swim with a school of them on a sandbar once and I must say they are very aggreeable animals, though they do have the tendency to mob you if you have food, and they can be quite heavy. Still very pleasant animals.
ha cthulhu
Humans will pet anything. If aliens come, that might be what distinguishes us from the rest of the galaxy.
“we were going to blow them up, but they engaged in an oddly pleasing patting ritual and, well, it was nice.”
Where’s that thread where the person said they saw rays get in literal slap fights over who was going to be petted next?
What a cutie💞
Ocean animals never cease to amaze me 😭❤️
I just saw a pretty old professor(maybe like 60? 65?) greet another professor with “hey loser” and then hug him.
If that’s not what my friendships are like in 50 years I don’t want them
That’s the thing. I’m not friends with her because I pity her. I’m friends with her because I love her. I need to be there for her. Whenever I went through rough patches, she was there. And I need to do the same for her. Even if the rough patch is the rest of her life.
Sebastian Merlin, Don’t Forget Me
“Yeah, sometimes. I think about what life would have been like if I stayed. Sure, it could have been wonderful. Some really great people lived around me and I could have learned to make the most of my life. I could have been one of those people who is CEO of some big ticket company and had a happy family. The kind you see on the front of magazines or a sample for Christmas cards on photo websites. All these things are possibilities. Yet, when I think a bit harder, I can see that none of this would have ever mattered. I wouldn’t be happy. Leaving was for the best.”
“You left me here.”
“I never said I didn’t have regrets.”
Bookish
The Con
It all started with a glance and next thing I know my wallet is missing. I roll my eyes in irritation. That’s how our business works though; “let me pick-pocket you so you know I need your help.” Yeah. Because that makes sense. I spot her on the corner of Broadway and Seventh, holding my wallet in one hand and dangling my keys in the other. My keys!
"Missing something?“ She asks, a devious smile curling onto her lips.
"Actually missing a few somethings.” I pluck the things from her hands, “thank you.”
She smirks and sizes me up. I can feel her eyes travel up and down, then back up and down once more. I consider saying something arrogant, but I hold my tongue. Once she’s finished, she eyes me and looks drained. I raise my eyebrow, puzzled.
"Look. I didn’t want to come to you,“ she sighs, "but Nate says you’re the best and well, I need the best. You in?”
"Any friend of Nate’s is a friend of mine.“ I say sarcastically.
She smacks me in the arm while muttering something about me being an arrogant bastard. Little does she know that people often confuse that with my name.
The Show Must Go On
They had been rehearsing for almost two hours when Zander had had enough. He was hungry, sore, and his voice was tired. He would give anything just to have a break; be finished for the day and start again tomorrow. He had tried to reason with his partner, Anna, but she was adamant to keep going.
“The show is in two weeks!” she yells, “and you’re still moving like you have two left feet!”
“It’s not my fault someone keeps changing the choreography every five minutes. You’re the most indecisive person I’ve ever met! I’m going to get a drink,” Zander turns on his heels and disappears.
In that moment, all of Anna’s anger flooded to the surface. She was angry, fed up with his attitude, and couldn’t wait to get Revue Show over with so she didn’t have to deal with him anymore. He was a pain in the butt! She balls her hands into fists as she continues to think of how stressful it is being Zander’s partner. Waiting for him to return, she starts to pace and move the microphone she’s holding from hand to hand. Her anger had not subsided and it scared her, so she continues to try and calm herself down.
Once he returns, she stops pacing, “Do you have any other smart remarks or can we keep working?”
“Do you have any choreography changes or can we keep working?” he sasses.
She sighs heavily in frustration and approaches him, “I only agreed to be your partner so you didn’t get stuck with some high-strung brat! Why can’t you be grateful!”
Zander rolls his eyes and turns to leave the room. In a fit of rage, Anna goes silent and lifts the microphone above her head. She brings it down on the base of his skull, knocking him to the floor. Then, she gets on top of him and closes her hands around his throat. She wraps her fingers so tight, she can feel the life leave his body. And just as quickly as the intial rage set in, it dissipated. She looks in horror at the lifeless body in front of her. How could she do something like this? She backs away from the body of her now dead partner and runs out of the band room and into the choir room.
“Come quick! He’s not breathing!” she exclaims and clings to another girl, her best friend.
Mr. Saniga emerges from his office to investigate all of the commotion. He notices the girls’ frantic bouts and the initial panic, “Girls? What’s wrong?”
Anna points to the door to the band room with a shaky hand. He approaches the door and gasps. He steps inside, approaching Zander, checking his pulse and sighs.
“Girls, what happened? Because he’s dead.” He pulls out his phone and calls the authorities. Neither of the girls answer him.
Once the authorities are present, the girls are separated and Saniga is as well. The police officers take care in locking all of the doors that give access to the crime scene and escort the witnesses to the choir room.
Anno starts to dream up an elaborate story about how she had gone to the bathroom and when she got back, there was a man looming over him. She tried to stop him, but she couldn’t! It looked like Zander had passed out and that’s when the man left. That’s when she went to get help because he wasn’t breathing. She recounts these events to the police officer that was sitting with her, silently hoping that they would buy it.
In the other room, officers and a crime scene investigator have begun a thorough investigation. The crime scene investigator takes photos and then starts to search for evidence, with the help of the police officers. They search the area and find the microphone and determine it the underlying murder weapon. There was a patch of blood that had begun to congeal on it and upon further examination, there was a bloody patch on the base of his skull. The medical examiner determines that cause of death was strangulation, so Anna’s story somewhat matched up. The investigators seal up the evidence and prepare it to be sent to the lab for prints.
The police officers, ask the witnesses a series of questions and let them go. Anna in a hurry, leaves as quick as she can manage after the authorities leave and heads home.
She quickly starts to pack a bag and calls to her mother, “Mom! I’m going to grandpa’s cabin for the weekend!”
She knew that they would find her prints on the microphone, so she decided to flee. Her grandfather’s cabin was in the middle of nowhere so she figured she would be safe and set off before the crime lab could get the results and arrest her.
A Gentleman
The way he looked at her was the most mesmerizing thing to ever see. The way his eyes creased at the corners because he smiled so hard. It was the way he held her waist, leaving his hand in a neutral spot for the respect of her body. How he gently held her hand. How he tucked strands of hair behind her ear when it fell in her face. His whole demeanor was so tender when it came to her. Every girl wanted their boyfriend to be like them. Hell, every guy aspired to be him. But his heart was so pure, that none could compare. He was something of a myth. Something of a too-good-to-be-true Prince Charming. But maybe that’s what made the hunt that much more fun.
