I Did Theatre In High School And It Was Tradition To Go The AppleBees After Opening Night. Most Of The

“Robert Pattinson showed up with iPhone voice recordings and had already nailed the voice for ‘THE BOY AND THE HERON’ before recording started. It was his first ever voice role and he finished in 2 days.” (source)

I think it’s been days since I last saw the sun

i forgot how fucking weird november is theres no afternoon its just night after 2pm

I think my clangen save made some toxic Yaoi. The deputy, Fogfruit, and one of the medicine cats, Woodsting, were mates for a bit but broke up when their kits were a couple moons old. But a few moons after their kits became warriors they got back together. It made me think that they broke up because of their kits, maybe the responsibility of being a parent put too much strain on the relationship. Once they didn’t have to deal with raising them anymore they thought they could try romance again. Not exactly healthy but okay. But all the kits are on good terms with their dads. So idk. They’re still messy.

get you a man who can do both

In Adventure Time Jake, a dog, and Lady Rainicorn (a Korean speaking unicorn thing) are married and have babies called corn dogs. One of those kids ends up marrying and having a daughter with a bear. Jake himself is a hybrid because his dad fucked an extradimensional entity. They had no fear in this show.

I’ll never understand why anthropomorphic animal cartoons like Robin Hood and Zootopia will go to the trouble of creating character designs that are meant to be understood as “attractive” or even “sexy” to the human audience but explicitly avoid showing interspecies romances between anthropomorphic animals. Why is THAT weird but, like, trying to make rabbits recognizably sexy-coded to humans isn’t?

Story time!

I was a theatre kid in high school. After our opening night it was tradition for all of the cast and crew to go to AppleBees to celebrate and then be there until 2-3 am. In my senior year we had one kid from a different high school join us. He was a really nice guy and worked extremely hard. We also had elementary school and middle school students in a few scenes for the sake of getting more parents to buy our tickets. One of those middle school students was the guy’s younger brother. So when we all went to AppleBees those two guys came with us. I sat next to the little brother and my sibling.

The kid is on his phone, most likely feeling awkward about being the only middle schooler surrounded by high school students. I ended up seeing what he was doing on l his phone. Kid was watching My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. So I ask “Hey are you watching My Little Pony?” My sibling overheard this and started looking at the kid. The kid looks shocked and mortified because two seniors in high school just caught him watching MLP. So imagine his surprise when we start gushing and asking question because we too watch MLP.

We were like “OMG! Who is your favorite character? How far are you? How long have you been into it?”

This kid was in SHOCK that two kids 4 years older than him watched a show that a lot of people in his own age group would tease him about. He was a little timid, but we spent the rest of the night talking about MLP with him.

Never be afraid to be into something you love. It does t matter if it’s technically a show made for kids. That does not make your enjoyment less valid and you never know who might be into the same thing you are.

Also yes, while I am not as into it now, I still consider myself a MLP fan.

Use the available tutoring facilities, even if you’re doing well in the class. You can even use them to just have someone proofread a paper for you. They are super useful!

Find someway to be active/social on campus. If you’re college regularly hosts fun events then go to some of them! It’s a great way to make college fun and deal with stress.

Have a set timeframe when you do homework! Once you reach the end of that timeframe just stop. Only work after the timeframe if you absolutely need to! Likewise that means that you work during your work time! Take small breaks when needed, but try to use that timeframe to work. For example I wouldn’t work on homework after dinner, 5-6. I would do my homework the rest of the day, taking breaks for meals and the occasional 5 minute break. I only worked after dinner a handful of times. This was a great way to keep me from procrastinating, but also gave me some me time to prevent burnout.

Actual good first-time college student advice:

Wear jeans/pants that “breathe” and bring a sweater, even if it’s scorching hot out, until you know which building blasts the AC to 60 degrees F and which feels like a sauna

Backpacks with thick straps are your friend!  Messenger bags are cool and all but if you’re commuting with a lot of stuff, symmetrically styled backpacks are better for your back

You are your own person and you can walk out whenever you need to or want to, so long as you’re not disrupting the class.  Meaning you can go to the bathroom without permission, take a breather if you’re anxious, answer an important phone call, etc.

If you don’t like the class on the first day, if you can- DROP THAT CLASS AND TAKE ANOTHER ONE!  It’ll only get worse from there!

If you can, take a class outside your major; it’s a good break from your expected studies.

You are in charge of your schedule.  Your adviser and guidance counselor is there to ‘advise and guide’ but if you don’t like certain classes and you can substitute for others, that’s your choice.

Consequently, if you are changing anything drastic in your plan, talk with your adviser and instructors.

Pay attention to your credit hours and grades.  Never leave this to the last week of school, you will be sorry and stressed beyond belief!

Unless it’s a lab book or otherwise specified, go to the class for a week or so before buying an expensive textbook.  Some classes, while having it on their required list, do not actually use the textbook a whole lot and you might find some of it scanned online.  Rent if you can or buy used online (schools actually don’t give discounts).  Use your best judgement on what you think you need.

Tell the people who go up to you selling or advertising things you are not interested in that you are in a rush to class and don’t have time to listen to them.  It’s less rude and they’ll leave you alone.

The smaller the class, the better it is to have some sort of acquaintanceship with a couple classmates.  They might save your ass if you are absent one day or need to study.  And talking with them makes the time go by faster without it being so insufferable.

You don’t need to join a club or sport, but internships are cool and useful!

If you can afford it, take a day off once or twice each semester if you’re too exhausted.  Just be aware of what you missed and if it was worth missing!

Your health is the most important, this goes for mental health too!!  Note: College-age/upper teens is when mental disorders like depression and anxiety are most commonly diagnosed.  Most schools have therapy services, especially during exam time.  Look into it if you need to!

Communicate with your professor if you are having trouble with something.  Anything.

Eat and stay hydrated.  Bring a water bottle and snack to class.

All-nighters will happen but never go over 36 hours without sleep.

It’s going to be hard and there will be times you might think about giving up.  This WILL happen.  You just have to make sure what you’re doing isn’t making you absolutely miserable and/or there is something rewarding and positive to look forward to at the end!
