If you follow the first path to the right behind the dining hall(the one that wasn’t there yesterday), you will find deep in the wood a cathedral formed from the branches of the ancient oaks. Sit in the last of the fallen-log pews and tell your story to the leaves, and a Visitor will come. Go only in times of great need, and do not talk to Them along your way. Do not under any circumstances look at the face of the Visitor, even if they tell you to. Twig, the beautiful boy in your calculus class, will tell you to go on the solstice.

Do any boxers/bjjers have any advice? 

You could ask from some conditioning exercises to improve your agility. 

Well what helps my reaction time is people actually doing stuff to me. One time @thenonbinarywarrior​ and I were practicing some Aikido together and the idea was for one partner to punch, and the other partner to dodge and then gain control of the fist. So they showed me what to do and went to punch me so I could practice but I didn’t move and caught it in the ribs and spent the next 5 minutes laughing while they looked 1000% done with my shenanigans. Also, the second time they  went to do the punch for me to practice I moved out of the way lmao. 

accepting that everyone was as horrible as you were when you were a teenager is so freeing.

teenagers suck, they all do, in one way or another.

Health Tip: You don't have to #gomeatless all together but make a plan to eat one or two meatless meals a week.

We have all had those moments in life where our schedules begin to get extremely hectic to the point where we can’t even find time to breathe. For the past couple of weeks, this has been me. For the past couple of weeks I have done nothing, but run around with my head cut off hoping that I will at some point find a moment of clarity and everything will simply fall into place. Unfortunately, that rarely happens, so for all of you who are just like me and have a crazy busy schedule here are my tips on how to be able to breathe, yet get everything you need done with.

Disclaimer: I am a third year college student who is taking some rather time consuming classes as well as a film course so my scheduling tips may or may not work for you and that is okay. Please feel free to adapt them in any way you deem necessary.

1. Use Your Eating Time Wisely

           While you eat breakfast, lunch or dinner make this your downtime. Don’t bring your textbook to the table or think about that horrible moment at work. Don’t think about how long your list of things to do or how to plan out your meals/the next day. You can think about all of this later when the time comes for you to tackle that task. For now, just sit enjoy cooking the meal you plan to make. Then savor the time you have to scroll through social media or read a book while you are eating the delicious meal you just prepared yourself.

2. Tackle One Task at a Time

           I know for some of us, myself included, and it is hard to focus on one thing when you have so many that need to get done. While I am studying for one exam I tend to think of what I need to read for my other classes and whether or not the film my group and I are working on is coming together properly. Then the next thing I know I am trying to remember what it is exactly that I should be memorizing for the exam that I have coming up only to find out that I have no clue. Therefore, I have to go back over it which ultimately puts me back a minimum of 10 minutes. If you focus on one thing at a time you are bound to understand what it is you are doing and get it done a lot faster than you think.

3. Plan a Schedule Ahead of Time

           At some point prior to when you need to be studying and you know your life will be a little hectic make a pretty intricate schedule so you know when you should be doing what. If you know you’re going to be working/have class at specific hours, plug them into your schedule. That way you can work around the hours that you can’t change and get the most out of your day. For me, I work at a restaurant, therefore I am working mostly nights or afternoons so I know not to schedule many important school things around those times. I go to class every day, but I have a lot of free time besides Tuesday – which means I am capable of getting all of my studying done then as well as my film making.

4. Get Some Sleep

           I know it’s cliché to say it, but it is important to get sleep. When you are well rested you will feel as though you have more energy and you can get a lot of things out of the way. I am capable of feeling well rested with 5.5-6 hours of sleep, which is not the amount that people need, but it works for me. Granted I do drink a cup of coffee every day, but I still bust out as much as I can do before I feel myself start to get a little bit drowsy. Whether it be from not getting a full 8 hours or just because I am doing mundane tasks who knows.

5. Don’t Feel Bad if You Don’t Finish Everything

           My last tip is simply this: if you don’t finish everything and it’s the end of the day and you’re ready to go to sleep, sit yourself down, look at your list and decide on what is so important that needs to be done as soon as possible tomorrow morning. Then once you have those at the tip-top of your list, figure out what is so-so important. Which will then be followed by the not-so-important-but-still-needs-to-get-done group. Once that is done you will be able to get some sleep and wake up tomorrow refreshed and rejuvenated and bust out all of those really important jobs first making you feel accomplished within the first couple hours of your day, which will make you feel great early on leaving you with a positive attitude the rest of the day.

 I hope these few tips helped all of my lovely busy scheduled spirits like myself. Trust me when I say that I know what it feels like to be going around and around hoping that at some moment you will be able to get of the ride and just sit. For, now we will just have to manage and enjoy the ride no matter how stressful it may seem.

An Evening For Fashion & Lifestyle Influencers

On Thursday I headed to Amazon HQ along with other fashion and lifestyle writers and bloggers for an Evening for Fashion & Lifestyle Influencers hosted by Amazon.co.uk. It was an entertaining evening, full of information and amazing, inspirational people. There was informative talks by fashion and blogging industry professionals, and the Amazon Fashion team also gave a great talk.

I checked out…

19/f I still in love with him!! Even if i tell everyone that i dont care and if i do as if i am happy i am not! Its even more dificult because Everything was fine and then one day he just changed, and now he dont talk to me that often but he still writing to me about his problems and writing with harts, i dont know if i should get over him ):

idk it can be a hard decision, to decide whether to get over someone or not? do you feel like there's a chance for you to date him in the future? do you know if he likes you romantically or if he just sees you as a friend? maybe you could try actively flirting with him and seeing how he responds to that, it's generally a fairly easy way to tell if someone likes you too :*

you could always ask friends to do a bit of investigation for you to find some answers as well? if you find out that he doesn't feel the same, then yah that's when it's time to let go and to work on getting over him <3
