so the thing about my family is that we have two ancestors on my dad’s side who were buried in france, where I currently live. one died in the spanish civil war, and one died prior doing…we don’t know what. but he somehow managed to get buried in père lachaise. 

so anyhow, my gran sends me a message like “pls put flowers on ur uncle samuel’s grave because he’s gone over a century with none and it will make the ghost mad if he hasn’t already” because my family spends time in europe but never long enough to go all the way to père lachaise and give ya boy samuel jr. his death rites. so im like “ok gran I can do that” bc im a good grandson and you do not fuck with gran she doesn’t DESERVE THAT 

i figure out which plot he’s on and ask someone specifically where you can find uncle samuel jr. and they tell me where and so I arrive at the junction and. 

HE GONE. 

WHERE DID YOU GO UNCLE SAMUEL. 

*celine dion’s smash hit “my heart will go on” playing in the distance* 

in other words either someone stole my entire great great uncle samuel or he has risen again, ready to party in paris for all of eternity. 

You’re pretty chill about a corpse disappearing.

My guy, my dude, he’s been dead since 1851. He could be anywhere. He does what he wants.

Penguins: clumsy but adorable.

i never wanted this to end

oh my god those are ROCKS the penguins are falling on ROCKS are you OKAY PENGUINS do you need WINGPADS OR SOME OTHER KIND OF SHOCK ABSORBING PROTECTIVE BODY GEAR

Fun fact, due to their flightlessness, penguins have actually extremely sturdy bones for birds. That plus their natural blubbery body makes them their own shock absorbers

I wouldn’t call it [Rogue One] a political or not political film. I just would say this film talks about stuff that we should remind ourselves these days. This is the darkest times in the galaxy. There’s no Jedi around. There’s no one there to do the job for us and it’s the people who have to get involved. And it’s about that —  it’s about people understanding that if we work together as a team, we can achieve great things and we can bring change.

Study Tips!

I actually have been approached by a couple of professors this semester and they asked me to have a “study skill” and “time management” presentation for any students interested.

For my time management presentation, I’ll be going over I said Here.

I haven’t created a study skill presentation yet so I’ll give you a quick run down of how I study.

  1. Stay at least 3 readings ahead of the class. This allows you to get a primary exposure to the information so you can come up with any questions you might have later. And then when you attend lecture, that second exposure to the information will help you reinforce the learning.
  2. Take notes on your assigned readings. When I take notes on my reading assignments, I have developed my own bullet layering method (I’ll put that up later) and a colour coding system (this will be explained with the bullet layering note taking).
  3. Take notes in class. During lectures, I try to pay attention and not write down everything the professor is saying. Since I have read the material and taken notes before attending the class, I already have a rudimentary knowledge so I don’t need to write everything. I only write down information that wasn’t in the reading, anything the professor repeats or emphasizes, and anything the professor writes on the whiteboard or blackboard. The way I take notes in class is with the Cornell Note Taking method. This link and this one explains how to do it.
  4. Rewrite notes. So after I finish with my classes, I will go to the library and rewrite my lecture notes (because they’re usually really messy). After rewriting those notes, I will combine my lecture notes and my reading notes. I typically do this with my bullet layering method but the Cornell Note Taking method should work too.
  5. Review notes. After I finish rewriting my notes, I’ll spend about 20 minutes going over everything I just did and then go over it again whenever I have free time. SPACE OUT YOUR REVIEW OF NOTES. Cramming does not help, trust me.
  6. Study groups. Find 2 or 3 other people that are determined to do well in the class you’re taking and do a group study session 3 days prior to an examination. These study groups can help clarify any information you didn’t understanding and if you can teach the information, then you know it well. DO NOT HAVE A STUDY GROUP WITH 4+ OTHER PEOPLE. YOU WILL ALL GET DISTRACTED AND NOT STUDY.

I’m sorry I don’t have any pictures to go with these tips yet! Once I create my presentation, I’ll definitely upload it to Tumblr. If you also need help with organization (not in regard to time management), I will be making a presentation on that as well! I hope these tips help you, happy studying!

Weirdly anti-millennial articles have scraped the bottom of the barrel so hard that they are now two feet down into the topsoil

its so wild like “this generation with no fucking money is learning to prioritize essentials” and all these chucklefucks can write is advertisements for these companies

at least our jeans won’t tear at the seams after two washes

FUCK FABRIC SOFTENER IT’S UTTERLY POINTLESS

AND FUCK DRYER SHEETS LITERALLY NOBODY EVER HAS ENOUGH OF A PROBLEM WITH STATIC TO WARRANT PAYING OUT THE ASS FOR THAT SHIT

DO YOU WANT CLEAN CLOTHES? YOU DON’T EVEN NEED TO BUY FUCKING DETERGENT JUST MAKE YOUR OWN* IT’S SO GODDAMN EASY AND 80X CHEAPER

FUCK THE ENTIRE LAUNDRY INDUSTRY *Fuck The Entire Laundry Industry Recipe

1 cup Washing Soda (not Baking Soda. Different things.)

1 cup Borax (not Boric Acid. Also a different thing.)

½ cup - 1 cup grated bar soap (you can use literally anything. I often use Ivory because it’s easy to get and I find it works well, a lot of people like Fels-Naptha, which is an actual laundry bar. Some people use Dr. Bronner’s. Really does not fucking matter.) After grating your soap, combine all ingredients. That’s it. That’s the whole thing. Use maybe a ¼ cup per load.

^^^ I’ve done this for years now and it works as well as any store bought detergent

WHAT Thank you, tumblr user awfullydull! Your URL does no justice to the good advice you give!

Also you can MAKE your own washing soda very VERY cheaply.

Step one: acquire $5 bag of baking soda from Costco.

Step two: lay that motherfucking baking soda out on a baking tray.

Step three: bake the baking soda on a tray in an oven at 400° for 1 hour (to make the moisture evaporate, leaving washing soda)

Step four: revel in how easy and cheap it is to make your own washing soda, and maybe take a moment to be angry that the industry upcharges the fuck out of something that is so easy to make.

I see some of y'all complaining about static and/or wanting nice smelling laundry. Go to a craft store, find 100% wool yarn balls. If it doesn’t come in a ball, ask an employee to make it into a tight ball for you. Wash in the washing machine to make it felted. Remove from washer, add a few drops of essential oil to the ball, allow to seep in. Dry with clothing. Doesn’t need to be rewashed ever, and if it stops smelling, add few more drops of essential oil. Bam, reusable dryer sheets.

Words to replace said, except this actually helps

I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

Edit: People, I’m an English and creative writing double major in college; I understand that there’s nothing wrong with simply using “said.” This was just for fun, and it comes in handy when I need to add pizzazz. 

In addition to a little pizzazz in the dialogue tags, these are also super useful as part of the narration, or summing up/paraphrasing something that has been said, or even in a character’s dialogue as they describe how someone was talking!
