one thing that so many students forget is that, a win is a win. if you planned on doing english homework but instead you finished your history essay, celebrate that, don’t be upset taht you didn’t sick to your plan, at least you got SOMETHING DONE. a win is a fucking win and don’t let anyone tell you different.
I like how the one dude had to sit down twice he was so overwhelmed
hard lesson to learn but it has been important for college: ask professors for extensions BEFORE you desperately need it, rest BEFORE you're exhausted, skip class BEFORE you're too exhausted to go to class, cancel obligations as soon as the vibes are off, etc
there's been five times so far where I was like "Should I ask for this extension/go home early/skip this class?" and each time I've been incredibly thankful I did it and I felt better afterwards.
my favourite animal is me when i remember what i'm capable of.
I like this-a whole lot
STUDYING. DOESN'T. SUCK. AS. MUCH. AS. FAILING.
I passed all my exams!! Some grades were less than expected, but I hope next semester is going to be better 🙌❤️
not to be rude but some of y'all need to look on the bright side sometimes. like, yeah sure the world is fucked and people suck and we all die whatever, sure, but like. go outside.
In my country the climate is weird, we've got some cold fronts coming, so obviously with the drastic change of temperature I got a cold(in the mornings we need have a coat but during evenings you can perfectly go in tank tops), but I need to make a presentation for Thursday, so reading this is a must, when I finish I'm probably going to sleep till tomorrow evening
Things done today
- Started the wips of two of my final presentations (got all the bibliography and the started it)
- Studied for chemistry
- Started my art history presentation
I normally don't like to post about politics or what's happening around the world, I know what's happening but I need this little space of the internet to be blissfully unaware of it. A little content warning ⚠️ I'm going to talk about it in the most realistic way possible, if it triggers you don't read it, I'm going to talk about deceased people and the reality of the people of valencia at this moment. So if any of these things aren't your cup of tea I get it, don't read, mental health comes first.
So this is one of the few times I'm breaking that no post policy to speak about what is happening in Valencia, Spain, I'm not from that specific comunidad autónoma but is something that affects all Spain, not just economically, also on personal levels, I know people that has been affected by it and they told us that they were speaking one another to go and be able to identify the corpses of their loved ones, that the death's on the news are way lower that the reality, we have over 2000 missing people. This is a very serious hit to our country, it has passed over night and the governor of valencia is doing a nefarious work in trying to mend it, we had the king and queen, the president of the Spain and the one of the comunidad Valenciana going there and being thrown rocks, and other things,( I would also like to add that people were calling the king and queen everything, that's normally considered treason, but with how people were reacting to them and the fact that with one wrong move we would have the third republic the had to bear with it, not to pity them, just an important fact) because no helping has been able to go there and they are wasting resources and time in cleaning and getting food for the people. We have underground parking that are graveyards, the people of the UME (the Spanish special forces for things like this) are going to need a physiatrist for all they are seeing, the same with normal people. They don't have anything and all because the president of the comunidad Valenciana decided to not listen to Aemet and cutting on the emergency unit a few years ago. If the UME and the people don't clean the streets we are also going to have problems with various quite dangerous virus, like typhus, but the military nor volunteers can access most of the towns nor there are enough people because the president of valencia, doesn't want to accept help from anyone, not form other of the 16 community's or from other countries, France sent 200 firefighters with out permission because we couldn't handle it, and the president of valencia ended up asking for 500 military men and the president of spain sent 5000.
I kind of needed to rant, because we have boxes and boxes full of basic need things, food, clothes... And buses full of volunteers that also aren't being distributed because they don't know how to do it, and they put the wrong people to do the things.
In my page there are a few charity webs that I'll also link, and artists that will do commissions and donate it to Valencia, if you are from Spain and prefer to donate food and other things instead of money, like me, in all big shopping centers there are places to do so, and if you are a college student at least in madrid they are also taking donations to send to Valencia.
Thanks so much for reading all this.
