âIf I am a witch, then so be it, I said. And I took to eating black thingsâcoffee, dark chiles, the bruised part of fruit, the darkest, blackest things to make me hard and strong.â

If youâre an artist, then this is for you.
This year, I want you to be unapologetic when you create.
Donât apologize for your writing, drawing, music, designs, films, sculptures, cosplays, knitting, sewing, cooking, and anything else I mightâve missed.
Donât apologize for the quality.
Stop being afraid of what you can accomplish. You might think you can do so much better, well guess what? You will. Youâre always improving. But if you start to apologize for the best you can do at this moment, then you might restrain yourself, stop yourself from taking risks that will help you.
I know this is a hard thing to stop. I do it all the time. When I submit art to people that Iâm not so confident about, Iâll apologize in advance.
This year, I challenge you, and myself, to stop doing it.
I love you â I do â but I am afraid of making that love too important. Because youâre always going to leave meâŚWe canât deny it. Youâre always going to leave.

COLLEGE ADVICE PT. I
write down every deadline!
get someoneâs number in every class, in case you have to miss a class or need a study buddy
donât buy textbooks before you go to the first class â you might not even need them
same with notebooks, binders, folders, etc
live on campus for at least a year if you can â youâll make more friends and get more involved that way
apply for a work study job â your boss will be way more understanding about taking time off to study than if you work off campusÂ
put yourself out there, especially in the first couple of months. go to club interest meetings, hang out with people from class, introduce yourself to your hall mates
if you donât like the free t shirt, donât take it. youâll never wear, no not even to sleep, and youâll just end up stressed out about your lack of closet space
donât go straight back to your dorm after class â study in the library, hang out in union. donât coop yourself up in your room all day!!
start your work as soon as you get it
always carry a water bottle
donât leave the dining hall empty handed! grab some fruit or cookies for a snack later
keep a travel mug in your backpack so you can get free coffee from the dining hall instead of starbucks
coordinate with your roommates on big stuff â fridge, coffee maker, etc
apply for fafsa the day it opens!! if they need any extra info youâll wanna know asapÂ
lay out your clothes the night before, so you can sleep a little later
use the resources available to you!! go to the gym, the campus clinic, etc because youâre already paying for it!!
go to sporting events even if you donât like sports, itâs a chance to really appreciate your school + get away from homework for a bit
start your work as soon as you get it!!!
take classes that interest you!! even if theyâre outside your major
study hard but donât forget to take a break!! spend time with your friends and make memories!!
always keep $20 in your car for emergency gas or food
youâll probably switch majors. thatâs okay.
if you decide you want to ~party~, take it easy. always go with people you trust, and donât be afraid to leave early if youâre getting a bad vibe
donât wear a lanyard. sure, theyâre convenient, but at what cost?
speak up in class, but donât be a know-it-all. if youâre speaking over all the other students or acting like you know more than the teacher your attendance grade is going to be the same as if you hadnât talked at all
donât sweat your gpa too much. itâs not like high school, and unless you have to have a certain gpa for a scholarship it doesnât really matter what it is
keep your room clean. seriously itâll make your relationship with your roommate much better and will keep your space from stressing you out
avoid all-nighters like the plague
enjoy it!!!Â
COLLEGE ADVICE PT. II - DORMS
you donât need as much as you think you do
seriously, if you donât use it at home you wonât use it at school except for:
shower caddy + shoes (invest in a sturdy caddy)
robe
earplugs/sleep mask if youâre a light sleeper
get a comfy mattress pad!! it doesnât have to be expensive â mine was $25 from bed bath and beyondÂ
Clorox wipes!!!!!Â
a sleeping bag + sleeping pad is great to have for guests or last minute camping/road trips
 donât be afraid of random roommate pairings!! it worked out great for me, and even if you donât end up bffs you can still get along
communicate with your roommates!! set expectations up front â how clean will you keep the room? will you need to call before you have guests? is their food up for grabs? can you share clothes?
pack as light as you can â you can always grab more stuff over break, and chances are youâll have less storage than you think
related: donât bring every pair of shoes you own. one pair of each type is good â sandals, dress shoes, workout shoes, etc
keep some snacks on hand â popcorn, granola bars, cereal are all good for snacking + sharing
those ikea rolling carts are great for storage!!
the dollar store is great for finding little bins for wrangling pens, nail polish, hair ties etc
have an extra set of sheets, because it would take an act of congress to get me to actually do laundry and make up my bed in the same day.Â
bedding: you can get it super cheap while still being nice/durable!! my quilt was from a west elm outlet for around $30, my sheets from tj maxx for $18, and my backup set was $7 from walmart. i used throw pillows and blankets i already had and bam, super comfy bed.
youâll probably wanna stay away from white comforters, bc your bedâs gonna be the main seating in your room and you/your friends will wear shoes on there/drop a slice of pizza/generally get it really grossÂ
throw pillows!! my friends laughed when i moved in and had a bunch, but guess who was begging to watch movies on my super comfy bed??? theyâre not essential, but itâs nice since youâll be sitting on your bed a lot
be selective about the school supplies you bring bc they get heavy fast
start hoarding grocery bags!! theyâre perfect for desk sized trash cans
bring a lamp (and not just for your desk.) dorm lighting is seriously depressing (esp if you end up with cinderblock walls) so bring your own!
youâre probably not going to have much time for reading, so donât bother hauling a huge box of books up the stairs.Â
have a couple extra cups/mugs on hand for friends, but donât bring your whole cabinet!! you wonât have much space so you donât want gross dirty mugs hanging around your desk
sponges > dish rags
bring two of each: plates, bowls, silverware sets, travel mugs.
bring a small hamper!! if itâs too big youâll run out of clothes before you run out of spaceÂ
tide pods will make your life so much easier
bring some pictures from home to hang around your desk, but leave some room for new pictures!!
keep some extra command hooks/picture strips on hand after move in
cleaning supplies to keep on hand: broom or small vacuum, clorox wipes, and lysol (for when the flu inevitably goes around your hall). thatâs honestly all youâll use/need.
bring anything you need for your hobbies; guitar, paint, yoga mat, etc
wait a couple days after move in to hang up stuff on the wall; youâll probably move furniture around for a few days still
honestly, youâll be moving furniture all year
be respectful of your hall mates!! donât be loud after 10ish or before 9, and keep the common areas clean!!

how I keep myself sane during summer break.
I think we can all agree that the mere idea of having holiday breaks from boring lectures and all-nighter study sessions sounds like heaven; although this romanticized idea of having so much free time often turns into wasted summer days, oversleeping, and basically an anti-social teenage version of house arrest. so, to help you out (or, more to help Myself) here are some things I do to keep myself busy, on a budget (kind of), and mentally healthy during long breaks from school.
continue your morning routine. this is important; by this I mean to basically treat your summer mornings as you would your school mornings, without the rush and alarm. brush your teeth, brush your hair, start/continue a skincare routine, get out of your pajamas and into real clothes, make your bed, make some coffee, eat some breakfast, do it with some music on, whatever you want. this keeps your mind and body into a daily routine. donât let all your precious no-class mornings of summer go to waste!
savor sleeping in, but not too much. I know its super tempting to go to bed at like 2 AM and wake up the next âmorningâ at 12PM, but trust me, youâll regret fucking up your sleep schedule once you actually have to set an alarm and get your ass to class next fall. Iâm not saying you should force yourself to set a summer alarm (although, if you really want to train yourself this isnât a bad idea tbh) but for the love of god, at least go to sleep and wake up at reasonable times. donât waste your entire day!!
force yourself to see your friends a couple times a week, even if you really donât want to. obviously this excludes mental health days, but Iâve found that spending time with my friends actually distracts me from any anxiety Iâve felt during the past week. I love my alone time, but human interaction is super important both mentally and physically. as college students weâre all pretty much broke, so donât underestimate the power of free things- watching netflix at someoneâs house, having a boardgame night, going to parks, you name it. as long as youâre with your friends, youâll have a great time!
clean out your music library + make a playlist or two. yâall know I love a good playlist. this is something totally 100% FREE, and a perfect way to make use of your free time. delete all the stuff you donât listen to anymore and make a few playlists of your favorite songs, or even go with playlist themes to organize your songs. itâs fun and your future self will probably thank you later for getting rid of so much audible junk.
get back into reading. this is something that was on my personal summer to-do list. I havenât read a book for myself (aka not for a class) in sooo long, and let me tell you- I donât know why I ever stopped reading. I know for a fact that once the semester starts Iâll have zero free time to read for myself, so summer is the perfect time to get into a new book or two!
eat your three meals a day +hydrate. I mean this. its very easy to skip/forget meals when you really donât have any set schedule whatsoever, so plan your meals into your day. even make an alarm if its necessary. also: if you donât know if youâre drinking enough water, you probably arenât.
deep clean your room/workspace/closet. Iâm super guilty for putting this off but, long breaks like summer are the perfect times to deep clean! what makes it easier for me to clean my room is to go section by section, which means not doing it all in a day (because that gets hella overwhelming and stressful, let me tell you). grab a garbage bag, put on some tunes, and pick a section to clean that day; youâll be done with the entire space in no time!
outfit plan. for someone like me who has way too much in my closet and somehow still ânever has anything to wearâ, this is essential! set some outfits out on the floor/bed and take pics of them on your phone so that you can look back on them for some style inspo the next time you have âabsolutely NOTHING to wearâ.
find a new hobby, even if youâre bad at it. make some collages of your friends, make a scrapbook, learn photoshop, paint a little, learn how to sew, garden, cook, practice your phone photography skills⌠if there was a time for you to try out new things, itâs NOW.
make a post about all the shit you should do. Iâm doing it right now. literally. youâre reading it right now. its not a bad idea.
if you know you have shit to do, plan it into your day! this is where the planner/agenda/bullet journal aspect comes in. having no class and no homework is not an excuse to stop planning out your day, your week, or your month. make some task lists and pencil in your dentist appointments and dates with people and whatnot; and even journal your days while youâre at it! if youâre a planner, never stop. Future You will thank you for it, I promise.
