lower-income people tend to be “hoarders” and richer people are able to do more “minimalist” living spaces. if u don’t have much, you will hold onto any little thing that comes across your way. you got a new tv, but you still keep the old tv because you know things can break. you keep extra boxes of macaroni and cheese lying around because there will be a week when you don’t have money for groceries. you hold onto your stacks of books and clothes for dear life. those are your assets. physical evidence of where your money’s gone. it’s hard to get rid of it. the bare wall is terrifying when you don’t have much.
Fuck. This makes so much sense and explains so much about me. I must have inherited this from my mum.
so I’d normally put this in the tags but it’s kind of a lot so just reblog this from OP to skip my commentary. But I dogsit for a family who is clearly LOADED. Their house is immaculate. High, vaulted ceilings, wood flooring, two chandeliers in one room. These things are fancy, right ?? I really don’t know, anything that isn’t tile or 30 year old carpet seems fancy to me. It also so… bare. Everything is organized perfectly, they have no excess. Their decor is extravagant and yet minimal - it is carefully and precisely executed. Nothing that doesn’t match the aesthetic sits in their living room. I tried to replicate some of it, but it’s just not possible. I have every book I’ve ever owned, my mom keeps papers upon papers, VHSs in a dresser, how do you just get rid of these things when you know you may not have the opportunity to buy them again? How must it feel to live in such orderly quarters where everything is replaceable?
This really locked into my brain when I was reading one of the declutter your space things and it suggested getting rid of duplicate highlighters and pens. /Pens/. It suggested that you needed one or two working pens, so if you had extra you should get rid of them. That was when I realized minimalist living was /innately/ tied to having spare money, because the idea was, of course you just went out and bought the single replacement thing whenever the first thing broke. You obv. Had the time and money to only ever hold what you needed that moment, because you could always buy more later.
there’s a nice article titled “minimalism is just another boring product wealthy people can buy” by Chelsea Fagan which i feel addressed lots of my problems with minimalism, you can read it [here]

long time no post! here is a pic of my sociology mind map that i created last year x
college app season is coming up! since i’ve had some experience with interviews, i thought i would throw together a post about college interviews to give all you seniors a hand and alleviate some stress
🌿 t h e b a s i c s
many colleges offer interviews
can be required or optional
can be conducted at the school with a student/admissions rep, or near your home with an alumni
a word of advice: if an interview is optional and you are contacted to have an interview, TAKE THE INTERVIEW–it can only help
types of interviews
individual
most common type (95% of the time it will be this one)
one-on-one with a school representative
informational
short
more of a Q&A about the school
not personal; can have multiple interviewees
most interviews run from 20-60 mins
however, leave ample time around your interview. all of my interviews went at least 20 mins over. but remember: length of the interview doesn’t mean anything
📑 i n i t i a l s e t - u p
first of all, if you can’t secure an interview or are not offered one, DON’T FREAK OUT. that just means the school doesn’t have enough resources to give you an interview
it will NOT count against you or your application at all
for interviews conducted on-campus, you will have to sign up for a time slot to have an interview or email the admissions office to set one up
for alumni interviews, they will contact you
via email or phone
respond within 24 hours if you can, and absolutely by 48 hours
respond using “Dear Mr./Ms. ______”, thank them for contacting you, tell them you look forward to the interview, schedule a time that works for both of you, and make sure you are clear on the interview location
you’ll get an email of confirmation back from them
then mark it in your calendar
💭 h o w t o p r e p
research your interviewer !!! seriously, this is important
make sure to know…
where they’re from
which schools they’ve gone to (undergrad & grad)
what they majored in
what profession they have now
anything of significance about their relationship with the school you are applying to. for example, during my Princeton interview, I brought up my interviewer’s senior thesis topic, and he said no one had brought that up to him in like 20+ years. we had a great 20 min conversation about that, plus it made me memorable
research the school
specifics! whether it be clubs, resources, traditions, classes, etc.
especially know classes, research, professors, and resources that relate to the major you intend to study
create a list of questions to ask
these should not be questions you can look up the answer to (shouldn’t be factually/statistically based)
run over your résumé or topics that could come up
research what previous interviewees have said about the format of the interview
use tumblr, college confidential, etc. BUT take everything said with a grain of salt
make sure to know the transportation route to your interview location
optional: create an elevator pitch
👔 w h a t t o w e a r
business casual is best
gals: a nice skirt and cardigan, dress with tights, nice jeans/slacks with a blouse, etc.
keep your hair out of your face!
stay away from noisy/clunky jewelry, or anything you might fidget with
guys: button-down shirt or polos with khakis or a nice pair of jeans, suit jacket and tie/bowtie, etc.
wear nice shoes (no sneakers) AND SOCKS
nonbinary/non-gender-conforming: do whatever you think is best for you! just remember to look professional and well put-together (although this rule applies to everyone)
weather
summer/spring: lighter clothes. most likely you will be interviewing indoors, so don’t forget to bring an extra layer if necessary
fall/winter: add outerwear like tights, stockings, sweaters, etc. check the weather and bring an umbrella, hats and gloves, or snow boots if necessary
general tips
better to be overdressed than underdressed
avoid logos, graphics, and anything noisy (and please don’t wear apparel from the school–it seems “sweaty”)
use accessories sparingly
wear something classic but comfortable, that enhances your personality but doesn’t override it
📓 w h a t t o b r i n g
notebook/looseleaf paper
pens/pencils
any notes you may need
a list of questions to ask the rep
résumé
phone/money/keys/bus card
***make sure you know the interviewer’s contact info and directions to the interview!
💬 d u r i n g t h e i n t e r v i e w
arrive 5-10 mins early to get comfortable with your surroundings
location will most likely be either a workplace (like a law/business office) or a casual setting (like a cafe)
the interviewer will meet you
make sure to shake their hand
if you are at a place like a cafe or coffee shop, you don’t need to offer to buy them anything !!! you can get yourself something if you want
they will most likely start with an open-ended question like “tell me a bit about yourself”
ELEVATOR PITCH FO DAYS
tell them your name, your school, some activities you do, etc.
try to tell them stuff that’s not on your application
ex: talk about upcoming internships/events/activities
from there a topic will latch on and they’ll start asking questions and transitioning
at the end, they will ask if you have any questions
DO
sit up straight, use manners and make eye contact
ask questions–even in the middle of the interview
consider the interview a conversation
listen to and learn from your interviewer
take notes
DON’T
interrupt your interviewer or get distracted
hold back/be modest
sound haughty
be quiet. speak. tell stories. talk!
make your answers generic
be nervous! it’s really, really hard to mess up an interview. everyone has nerves, but just remind yourself that this doesn’t really count for anything
🎉 a f t e r w a r d s
whew! you got through it. CONGRATS !!!
within 24 hours, write them a thank you email
thank them for taking the time to interview you
make sure to mention specifics about how they were helpful! it makes you memorable
you may or may not get an email back, but that doesn’t mean anything
breathe a sigh of relief. compile notes. rest.
💡 i m p o r t a n c e
how much does this actually matter?
not much
seriously, stop stressing
interviewers cannot make or break an application. having a superb interview will not boost your application by a huge amount, just like having a not-so-great interview will not doom you for all eternity
what the interview CAN do is…
help the interviewer advocate for you further
give you insight into the school
give you a chance to elaborate among things in your app
show the school you can conduct yourself gracefully in social/professional situations
give your application a boost if they are deciding between you and a similar candidate
and that’s all! i hope this post was helpful. please feel free to message me if you have any other questions or need more advice.

*Updated* Studyblr Intro
Whew! Ok so, I’ve made an little introduction post a little over a year and a half ago over here and I’ve been on and off this app ever since so I feel like I should reintroduce myself and hopefully try to make myself more active on here from now on!
What has changed:
- I’m now a full-time criminology and stats major, and I have about a year and a half left before I finish college!
- I don’t really do sports or many extracurriculars anymore due to lack of time but I (try but sometimes the potato chips and heated bed win, but *only* sometimes hehe) workout at the gym and starting to transition to a plant-based diet
What hasn’t changed (and also important things to keep in mind/know about me):
- I have bpd so it’s hard for me to respond to things in a timely fashion although I’ll try my best to see posts and respond, so please be mindful of that when I can’t. Also, if I ever sound brusque and/or aggressive in my responses lemme know! Most of the time (unless the response is provoking/hateful) I don’t intend to come off that way and I’m sorry if I do :/
- I still like to read, write, play volleyball, track & field and living at the local buffet with my 10 piece honey bbq wings
- I also love every and ALL things fashion I don’t think I’ve talked much about it but fashion lovers feel free to gush about various fashion tings you see in my inbox whether it’s various editorials, pieces, or just overall representation in the industry I’ll take it ALL
- I am also an activist and I have a ZERO tolerance policy for white supremacy/neo-nazism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism for obvious reasons. This is a safe space and if anyone needs to talk feel free to inbox or pm (if privacy is a concern). I rarely say no, but please make sure to ask if it’s okay to share with me beforehand as I am not qualified to handle certain topics and/or may not be in the right headspace to discuss it.

sotd: ooh la la la // exo
winter came super early this year and i’m not exactly sure how to really feel about it? there’s been a lot of rain/snowy weather lately so I don’t want to feel some type of way right off the bat just incase it’s a false alarm
on a more positive note, I ended up getting a pretty good grade on a test I was really worried about and I actually feel really liberated. I feel like I’m finally heading in the right direction and I hope it stays that way
Some of my catch up notes, and some fresh lemon and ginger tea 🍋
It’s pretty overwhelming realizing that my entire social media experience basically started here?? Like I was shitposting on here all day in 2011 and now I’m back after several hiatuses later time flies by waaaay too fast.
This is soo bad its good

concept: autumn + yellow
I hope you’re all having a beautiful morning/day/night! I’ll be spending the day catching up on some work, hanging with some pals, drinking tea, and listening to the 1975′s new album nonstop. I’ve also been carrying this tiny little journal around with me; its nice to have a little place to jot down any thoughts/mantras or doodle. I used to be so anal about sticking to one journal at a time, but tbh there’s nothing wrong with having more than one for all of your thoughts! this little guy comes in handy when I don’t feel like journaling an entire page.
