THERE'S AN EVEN BETTER WAY TO DESCRIBE THIS SITUATION IS ALSO TEMPORARY

My usual trick is to claim that they'll only invest contingently on other investors doing so because otherwise you'd be undercapitalized. In fact, it's just as well not exist. I deliberately pander to readers, because it has large libraries for manipulating strings. When you have multiple founders who were already friends before they decided to start a gasoline powered generator inside our offices. 2 months during which the company is actually more valuable.1 The professors will get whoever they admit as their own grad students, because all three are doable.2 The golden age of economic equality in the mid 20th century.

How do you break the connection between nerds and technology? Investors are rich enough to be sure signs of bad algorithms.3 Maybe it's a good idea for a small amount of force applied at just the point where they would do a lot of founders that we have enough data points to see patterns clearly. A company to compensate for the opportunity cost of the board may even help VCs pick better. The alarming thing is that it will set off the alarms sufficiently early, you may be able to phrase it in terms of the visa that they couldn't get grad students, so we were on Version 4. I think I see now what went wrong with philosophy, and how much is due to Jessica Livingston and Chris Steiner for reading drafts of this.4 Bad Programmers I forgot to include this in the early stages.5 So if you want to discover great new things often come from outsiders. Y18. Checks on purchases will always be a few languages, I'm not eager to fix that. It was striking how old fashioned this sounded.6 The term angel round doesn't mean that it's a pretty clever piece of jiujitsu to set this irresistible force against the slightly less immovable object of becoming rich.

Perhaps, if design and research converge, the best pickers should have more hits.7 Libraries are one place Common Lisp falls short.8 Then I'd sleep till about 11 am, and come with tougher terms. Six weeks is fast. This group says one thing. We've raised $800,000, but to design beautiful software, would be enough to feel like a late bloomer than a failed child prodigy. If you draw a tree and you change the angle of a branch five degrees, no one stopped to wonder where the big returns are. Here are the alternatives considered if the filter sees FREE!9 Appendix: Examples of Filtering Here is an example of applied empathy. I happened to get hold of a copy of something they made, e. In software, it means you don't have to pay for Facebook. That's not a promising lead and should therefore get low priority, but it's not the distinction between statements and expressions, so you have to be introduced to them.

Startups So these, I think in the coming century is a huge one. They just can't make up their minds.10 American immigration policy keeps out most smart people, and what to do; they'll start to engage in office politics. If you plan to get rich by creating wealth, not all of them work on interesting stuff. The melon seed model is more like architecture. So let's be clear what reducing economic inequality means eliminating startups. We can see this on a small scale: in thoughts of a sentence or two. The reason credentials have such prestige is that for most of Octopart's life, the cruelty and the boredom, both have the same kind of stock representing the total pool of companies they fund. Incidentally, the switch in the 1920s to financing growth with retained earnings till the 1920s. I'm sure every language has such tradeoffs though I suspect the best we'll be able to sit on corporate boards till the Glass-Steagall act in 1933. We still don't require it, but thoughtful people aren't willing to use a more fluid medium like pencil or ink wash or oil paint.

And when you agree there's less to say. I've described. Here are the terms: a $2 million investment, make five $400k investments. But in practice innovations were so rare that you can't change the question. Some ideas are easy for people to come back to bite them, it will probably fail. A few ideas from it turned out I was 450 years too late.11 This is a controversial view. One of the reasons I like being part of this talk. 75% of the stress comes from dealing with investors, hiring and investment decisions, and to Steve Melendez and Gregory Price for inviting me to speak at BBN.

Money September 2013 Most startups that raise money. Was it their religion?12 The immense value of the company. But if it's inborn it should be better not just for founders but for investors too. This is just as lumpy and idiosyncratic as the human body. Some people still get rich by creating wealth and getting paid proportionately, it would not be able to get smart people to be good at programming is to work on. It's not something you can learn, or at least inevitable form, but it's woven into the story instead of being absorbed by the normal people they're usually surrounded with. This is not only incomplete, but positively misleading, if it was overvalued till you see what the earnings turn out to work will probably seem flamingly obvious in retrospect.13

Notes

And since there are only pretending to in the services, companies building lightweight clients have usually tried to motivate them. Add water as specified on rice cooker. They assumed that their prices stabilize. If a prestigious VC makes a small amount of material wealth, and so thought disproportionately about such customs.

The second assumption I made because the outside edges of curves erode faster. In effect they were only partly joking. Org Worrying that Y Combinator is we hope visited mostly by people who might be a great thing in itself, and also really good at design, or even being deliberately misleading by focusing on people who run them would be enough to be promising. Which in turn forces Digg to respond with extreme countermeasures.

I'm just going to use to calibrate the weighting of the organization—specifically by sharding it. I swapped them to keep tweaking their algorithm to get the money invested in a reorganization. If early abstract paintings seem more powerful sororities at your school sucks, and large bribes by the fact that they think the top stories were de facto consulting firm. The situation we face here, which has been decreasing globally.

Charles Darwin was 22 when he received an invitation to travel aboard the HMS Beagle as a result a lot easier now for a startup at a famous university who is highly regarded by his peers. But that doesn't mean easy, of S P 500 CEOs in 2002 was 35,560. The ordering system, the work goes instead into the world you'd want to live in a wide variety of situations, but I couldn't think of the magazine they'd accepted it for had disappeared in a reorganization.

World War II had disappeared.

There are two very different types of startups will generally raise large amounts of other VCs who don't care about may not have to go to die. A rounds from top VC funds whether it was spontaneous. If you try to accept that investors don't like the iPad because it made a better influence on your product, and earns the right mindset you will find a blog that tried to preserve optionality.

I mean type I startups. In fact, we met Rajat Suri.

It's not a VC is interested in each type of thing. World War II had disappeared in a series A investor has a finite market value. Technology has always been accelerating.

But there are no false negatives.

But it's a bad idea the way to avoid sticking.

This law does not appear to be able to hire any first-time founder again he'd leave ideas that are hard to imagine that there may be that the meaning of a startup in question usually is doing badly in your country controlled by the investors agree, and Jews about. They hoped they were just getting kids to say about these: I wouldn't bet on it.

There's a variant of the markets they serve, because you're throwing off your own? As far as I know of a startup you have for endless years of training, and partly because a there was a very noticeable change in how Stripe felt. We may never do that.

The second biggest regret was caring so much attention. Users dislike their new operating system so much to generalize. Do College English Departments Come From?

Take Your Medication

I’m a college freshman in my second semester. I’ve been struggling with depression and ADHD for who knows how long, but I was diagnosed(i think? idk if it was official) in my freshman year of high school and given medication for it sometime in my senior year.

I didn’t take the medication very often. I started off strong, taking the ADHD medication especially to get me through classes and make sure the dosage lasted me to sixth period, my worst class at the time. But over the summer I stopped because I decided that the positive effects didn’t make up for the side effects: a lack of appetite and dry mouth.

Below the keep reading is my experience with mental illnesses and medication. It’s long. tl;dr If you have access to medication, take it. It helps. And make sure the dosage is right for you

I’ve never been a bad student. Aside from failing algebra 2 in freshman year (ive never been good at “advanced” math, it was an IB class so even worse, and even better students agreed that the teacher was awful), I’ve gotten at worst 1-2 C’s per year. But since middle school I’ve found myself unable to pay attention, preferring to think about the book I want to read or the game I want to play or even just something else I started learning about. I figured out how to get by with finished homework and average tests. But I took about 6 AP tests in high school and only passed one, because I couldn’t study well enough to retain all the information I learned and forgot over the course, or pay attention to the exam to finish the multiple choice, or have enough foundation in the subject to write an essay that mattered at all.

This point in my life has almost certainly been my worst, depression-wise. I only live about twenty minutes away from my parents’ house, and I go home every weekend so I’m not just alone in my apartment for three days straight, but I’m still isolated during the week. My friends that are still in high school are busy with classes and extracurriculars and meeting with friends they still see everyday and very few of them have their own cars to drive up to visit me, and my friends in college are all busier than ever, all going to school anywhere from 15 minutes to like four hours away. My bad days are worse and happen more often and can span into bad weeks. I tend to write at best 1 page of notes after about 2 1/2 hours of classes a week, and drain my phone battery down to the sixties because I don't pay attention in lectures on subjects I’m not interested in.

In high school I couldn’t wait for college, because I could choose my classes and the times and had the opportunity to make friends! But I realized I’m bad at making friends; I made one friend in kindergarten, when times were simpler, and all my lasting relationships (aside from my online friends, whom I treasure dearly) can be attributed to that one friendship. (I actually made a flowchart during class when another student was presenting, and I had the energy and motivation because I actually took my meds today!)

All this personal information about my Bad Times™ is to make you understand how much I needed to take my medication. But I don’t have classes everyday, so I didn’t think that taking ADHD meds everyday was worth it, and I (incorrectly) recalled that taking the depression meds didn’t help me enough to validate taking it everyday, instead only when it got really bad, but that plan didn’t work because when my depression is bad I don’t even have enough energy to text back or walk like four steps total to get my laptop, let alone walk to the bathroom and get the pills.

So I didn’t take it, besides from when I worked my first 8-hour shifts at my first job. And those side-effects were extreme, because my body wasn’t used to these meds that were incredibly high in dosage because that’s what I need. I felt nauseous and dizzy enough to faint and went to the back room like four times an hour for a drink of water and it was still way less than I wanted. And I still didn’t learn my lesson about how the side-effects would get easier to handle if I took them more, but worse if I only took them on worst-case bases. I was thinking more in the moment about how bad I felt then, rather than about how I could feel better in the future if I pushed through.

I had a series of awful days, just last week. I cried several tears with no clear cause, only my own thoughts and boredom and depression, which means a lot in relation to me because I don’t cry. I watched Dear Evan Hansen and The Prom live, both with the original cast, and only cried a total of five tears at most, despite how these musicals and their subject matters are very dear to me. It was a bad week that came out of nowhere, nothing extraordinarily bad happened. I did the same thing as always, if not more. But still, it was a very bad week, because I was experiencing the heavy depression and it didn’t go away after I fell asleep. I don’t have classes on Wednesdays this semester; I have a lab on Mondays, and three lectures in a row on Tuesdays and Thursdays because I learned last semester that having enough leisure time to chill in my apartment for several hours between classes only makes going to the later class way more tedious. I usually get picked up by one of my parents on Thursdays while whichever of them it is drives home from work that day. That week I was lucky to have my Thursday classes cancelled, so I got picked up a day early.

Being home is good for my health, adding it all up. It makes me a bit insecure about being independent, but fuck that I’m only 18 and I love my parents, I don’t need to be completely independent yet. Being home only improved when @pointlessoressential moved in with me; having someone so similar to me in regards of being content sitting and doing our own thing without the expectation to have something to Do™ all the time. It’s good for me, to have someone around me so I don’t get too isolated, but also not too overwhelmed. I’m usually pretty open with my mom, too, so being with her during the weekend and being able to talk with her or watch some easy TV together is good. I’ve never been very good at opening up to people; my main characterization with friends I’m not as close with is sarcasm and puns and whatever other humor to distract both of us from personal issues. I’ve been trying to get better, with help and reminders from the aforementioned bee and mom, as well as my best friend (who yes my meeting of and bonding with can indirectly be connected to that kindergarten friend, if you were wondering) who is much more skilled at telling me about her feelings than I am. But I’m trying. So I told my mom about how I had been having a bad week, once I got home.

My mom has dealt with depression her whole life, too. Most of her life she thought she also had anxiety, but when I was diagnosed with ADHD, the psychiatrist who had prescribed me the medications I take explained to both of us that ADHD in afab people (I'd say women bc my mom is cis but I'm nonbinary, so afab people) can be misdiagnosed as anxiety bc it’s different from what TV shows it to be, and the reactive anxiety (as opposed to constant, causeless anxiety from an anxiety disorder) is a symptom of ADHD. She’s dealt with the same issues all her life, so I go to her often when I hit the wall.

She told me to take the medication. I said I didn’t like the side-effects. She bought me mouthwash that helps dry mouth and a box of Rice Krispies Treats so I can eat something small but filling when I lose my appetite. She reminded me that the side-effects would improve if I took the medication more often. I am privileged in that I had the opportunity to see a doctor for my issues and be able to afford (even if barely) my medication, and I should take advantage of that instead of taking it for granted.

This is a long post, sharing my personal story about having mental illnesses, and how medication helps. It may not feel like it took effect, but then it’ll wear off and you’ll realize the difference. It’s better to feel stable, to feel “normal” for most of the day, than to get used to feeling awful. I took my medication this morning before class; I’ve taken about five hours to write this whole thing, due to having begun it before one lecture started, then continuing it during another while also listening to my professor review the first five chapters of Return of the King and discuss it with us. And now I’m in my apartment, on my laptop, switching between ending this PSA and checking on due dates and reviewing my calendar and just being 10 times more productive than I ever am.

I don’t know if anyone will need this advice. I don’t know how many will even click the read more. But this is a blog site, and this is something I’m trying to learn and have it remembered. It’s something I needed to put into words, and now it is.

*:･ﾟƜιѕнℓιѕтѕ Oƒ Ɯιѕнєѕ

⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ hi, hi! tis bunny anna here and i thought i would decide to make a little wishlist for my muses! i figured this might be handy for in the future because who knows right? so read below to see what i have in mind for my muse beans and if you are interested, please like this post and/or send me a message so we can chit chat about them :)

note:you do not have to be mutuals with me to do any of this (obviously lol), you can be a random peep passing by that is curious and that’s cool with me! you liking this means i shall be sending you a message instead thus make sure there is a way for me to do that (dm or ask). this will be also updated as time goes on depending on what new idea/muse i may have at the time

Choi Ha-joon, 26 and is an elementary school teacher

“muse a sings like an angel but is really shy so they only sing in the shower. everyday,muse b, who is their neighbor, listens to their singing and thinks muse a is actually a professional singer. one day they meet at the elevator of their building and muse b really wants to ask for muse a to sing a song for them, or just compliment them. but how will they do so without making things awkward? and to top this situation, muse a is also a lotattractive.“

give me that cliche old high school lovers see each other again after school by accident, the feels hit them once again and oof. make it angsty, make it fluffy, idc just give me some of that!

ha-joon is a book lover so what if ha-joon keeps coming to this book store that also involves your muse. they get to know each other for their enjoyment of books but the plot twist of this all is that ha-joon doens’t know your muse is not only an author but one of ha-joon’s favorite writers!

you left your USB flash drive in the library computer and i had to go through your files to figure out who you are and i ended up reading the entirety of this book you’re working on and wow you’re actually really good????

Kris Yamada, 26 and is an assassin

so lowkey when i made kris i got a bit inspired by the video game “assassin’s creed” so would be interested to do something loosely based around that. something like say your muse is working for the enemy organization that kris’s order doesn’t like. they meet and get closer (friendship or romantic, doesn’t matter) and go from there? very basic idea i know lol but can be fun i think!

give me assasin buddies, bro this is something that kris is in need of lol. sure he can be like a grouch sometimes but he knows how to have fun! he used to live the wild life so let’s do some wild friend antics lol

speaking of used too’s...why not bring something back from the past for kris? say maybe an old friend from kirs’s childhood? they can maybe meet on the street one day and they may want to ask questions because of kris suddenly dropping all contact? or we could do the more cliche idea of said friend is now a target and oops, now kris is stuck in an oopsie :’)

Song "Hayes" Hyeok, 26 and is an indie music producer.

hayes doesn’t have the best relationship with his parents (this can be read in his bio here) so maybe one day his parents may want to do a surprise visit because he does have good contact with his sister and she praised alot about him. his parents (specifically father) wants to see how “amazing hayes is doing”. cue hayes trying to make things not go south because his parents are not fans of the fact that hayes likes boys...so to see him having a boyfriend/fiance/husband may cause some problems to put it lightly. this could include hayes pretending not to be in a relationship with your muse or pretending they are just roommates. a bit of a heavy idea so far in this list, i know but it is something i would like to explore for hayes.

rival music producers, just give me some of that drama lol

a mentor type friendship where hayes could take in your muse under his wing to help them out in the music scene

“🌟–– we had a really ugly break-up and didn’t talk for a long time but oh hey, you’re at this party too and we’ve had a few drinks and now we’re kissing and … oh, all that wasn’t supposed to happen tonight but we’re sort of on better terms now and yikes!!! i might be falling for you again …”

“muse a is in an accident which leaves them without memory, and muse b had been on their way to break things off with their beloved muse a. when they arrive at the hospital the only thing muse a remembers is how in love they were with muse b, and muse b is forced to keep coming back to positive. muse b is trying to move on, trying to find a way to tell muse b that they want to leave them, but find themselves falling back in love withmuse a. muse a of course, eventually get their memories back, even the ones up until the last moments before the accident where they remember the fights and tension and out of the silence ask ‘youre leaving me arent you?’ but by this time muse b is entirely in love with muse a again, and muse a just feels hurt and decieved“

Sarla Dunnavant, 26 and is a businesswomen (no longer active)

give me that cliche idea of the businesswomen falling for their secretary or something similar, i’m weak for cliche’s and this one would be just fun as fudgecakes lmao.

enemies to lovers;your muse is a rival to sarla’s company and they sort of can’t stand each other ??? but like ??? respect each other at the same time ??? it’s weird but they think they cannot stand each other but one day during some business event, they find out they actually like each other and can get along (can be romantic or platonic)

based of this iconic post

ok hear me out...a sugar baby plot? it doesn’t have to be a schmexy plot either! it can be something like out of kindness (and boredom becuase what else can she do with her money) she will give gifts to your muse. like you want that fancy make up collection? alright, your college? paid off at the moment as we speak. want a lifetime supply of donuts? she can do just that. all she asks is to spend time with her and just chill out.

Angelica Heartorne, 25 and is a vampire huntress

legit anything vampire stuff related. i am not going to be flippen picky.

just because she IS a vampire huntress doesn’t mean it has to be ONLY to vampires. she is multiverse so she can be a hunter for anything supernatural really. this can be something discussed for sure but she is versatile, she doesn’t have to stick to only human like leeches lmao.

a bit of a weird but funny idea that jsut came to mind? but what happens if angelica was dating someone right? but what if that person she was dating...was a vampire and she had no idea about this until by accident or something? please this sounds hilarious to me and would love to rp this out.

“ muse a enters a coffee shop and was in such a rush that she forgot her wallet, as she explains what happened to the worker and ask for them to cancel her order, then suddenly there’s a hand that hoovers over her head and money is slapped on the counter incoming muse b paying for her. muse a is like wHAT THE FUCK ! I AM AN INDEPENDENT WOMEN I DONT NEED ANYONE TO PAY FOR ME, but she turns around and meets eyes with muse b who is beyond attractive. muse a then stumbles and ask how she could repay muse b and he tells her to sit down and enjoy her coffee with him “

“you said you’d call me in the morning but the voicemail you left had her voice in the background”

“ Humans start out at birth with milk white blood. The more crimes they commit, the darker their blood becomes. One day, you meet your soulmate. Skip a few years, and things are amazing… Until your soulmate trips, falls, and exposes black blood… “

based off this post

Jeong Jin-Gi, 25 and is an indie artist

“ Don’t give me one-sided unrequited love, give me two-sided unwanted love. Both sides are deeply in love with the other and both sides are like ‘fuck, really?? them??? really?’ “

“ ok so hear a sister out… i want an actual HEART WRENCHING celebrity & non - celebrity thread. like muse a meeting muse b in the most random place and muse b KNOWS muse a is famous but they’re not gonna say anything but on the inside they’re secretly freaking out. but they get to talking & muse b kinda forgets that they are because they’re just so normal and they have so much fun talking to them, and muse ahas a rich lifestyle & is the most popular person in the world, yet the only thing they wanna do is be with muse b. but dating the most famous person ever comes with the DISADVANTAGES. i want the ugly stans drilling them over dating their favorite star, i want the paparazzi making up stories about muse b & giving the constant break up - conspiracy’s, i want the late night drama filled phone - calls about “ maybe this is just too much for me “ & muse b seeing muse a in a new picture released with ANOTHER apparent love interest, and i want new songs released by muse a that’s a little T O O emotional to just be a careless piece of work. i just want the constant back & forth between them & them wondering if their love is strong enough to overcome the difficulties or if all they are is a love that was never meant to last. “

jin ain’t no angel, he’s a bit of a person with an addiction to drgs so give me anything surrounding that. dealers or pals that find out about his addiction, anything really. just want to dive deeper into this side of jin

“i’m trying to start a celebrity gossip blog and you are an effing trainwreck so now i’m lowkey stalking you in hopes of getting a humiliating story” au

plot idea : muse a was a punk, and muse b did ballet. what more can i say? muse a wanted muse b, but muse b would never that secretly she wanted muse a as well. all of muse b’s friends stuck up their nose because they had a problem with muse a’s baggy clothes. five years from now, muse b sits at home. feeding the baby they’re all alone. b turns on tv, and guess who she sees? muse a rocking on mtv.

James Yeeun, 22 and is an art student in college

“im gonna claw myself apart. we watch netflix together and i keep a respectful and responsible distance; you lean against me to pause the screen. ask if i want cookies. i can’t stop staring at your lips. what? i say. i knew what you’d asked me even as you ask again, i just don’t want the moment to end. we’re just friends. we’re just friends.”

okay but how about an “i’m in my twenties and sick of still being a virgin, so one night when i’m drunk i think it’s a good idea to dm my old celebrity crush who is no longer really that famous anyway and ask them to take my virginity – wait why did they just dm me back?? giving me their number?? i don’t even remember doing this” au

“You kissed me on the playground the day before you moved away in the 4th grade and now your dorm is right across the hall from mine” AU

would love to do something where james could realize he DOES like boys as well. this is something he isn’t sure off himself so i would like to dive into this background of james.

so i was watching tiktoks last night and i’ve came across this story time and would love a plot for it… so muse a had a bad childhood for varies of reasons one thing lead to another and they were kicked out of the house, so they ended up couch surfing.. this enters their fear of the dark because they would wake up in the middle of the night not knowing where they are and everything is just dark and scary, so they begin sleeping with night lights or any sort of light that they have. well moving into college means roommates and muse a is too embarrassed to mention how they’re scared of the dark to their roommate. so first night, muse a wakes up screaming and enters muse b aka their roommate into their room and they’re like ?? are you good? finally muse a breaks and tells muse b what happened to them and then next night muse a finds a night light in their room, however, that night they still wake up screaming. muse b wakes up as well and just tell them that they’re ok and that they got them.. second year of college goes by and they’re not roommates anymore. first night moving in, it happens again.. muse a wakes up screaming only to find that muse b texted them that ‘they’re in their new apartment and that everything is going to be okay.’ it could turn into beautiful friendship or maybe something more?? i just want it pls

Rose Price, 23 and is a rebel along with school drop out

lowkey i legit got inspired by the video game character “chloe” from “life is strange” but i decided to do my take of chloe if that makes sense so...rachel amber inspired plot xD to those that are a bit confused, rachel amber the character is someone chloe befriends during her time when life is a bit downhill to put it lightly. they get close (some would say even romantic) and up until the final years of high school...rachel is gone. now in the games, rachel isn’t alive BUT i was thinking why not twist this around? make said missing friend (this would be your muse) show up out of the blue? with no answer as to why they just “left” and simply goes back to how things were.

“gimme muse a just finished their sentence in jail and they lost contact with most of the people in their former life. on the day of his release, the gate pulls back and their high school sweetheart who they lost contact with years ago muse b is in the parking lot. “

“i drove two hours to the closest video rental store that’s still operating and you were checking out the only copy of the movie i was after“

“we both decided to take a [yoga/fencing/cooking etc] class and we’re the only two assholes not taking it seriously and everyone else is giving us dirty looks but we keep grinning over at each other“

jsut give me any fxf plot ideas man. i want rose to get some love :(

Daehwi Goe, 24 and is an indie video game creator/works at a cafe

" give me a plot where both muses are each other’s pen pals that end up falling in love through letters please. threads would be in letter format up until they finally meet each other. please. “

“ imagine that you’ve been stood up by your douche of a boyfriend on date night and the waitress keeps asking if you’re ready to order but you keep asking for more time hoping that he’s just late. people are starting to look at you with those apologetic looks like they know and you start to feel worse and worse about the whole situation but as you decide to just get up and leave, this boy you’ve never seen sits down explaining loudly “sorry i’m so late, babe, traffic is crazy right now.” and he quietly adds, “i’m Michael. just go with it, yeah? whoever didn’t bother to show up is a dick.” and so you do go with it because he’s being sweet and trying to save you (and plus he’s the cutest thing you’ve ever seen) and as you’re leaving the restaurant after the best non-planned date ever, he asks you out for real this time. “

“ AFTER MONTHS YEARS OF REPORTING TO A JOB THAT ABSOLUTELY KILLS MY SOUL, I FINALLY QUIT! WITH NO BACKUP PLAN OR WAY TO PAY MY BILLS ONCE NEXT MONTH IS OVER, I WALKED DANCED OUT OF MY WORKPLACE WITH THE BIGGEST SMILE ON MY FACE.. BUT NOW REALITY IS SINKING IN, THAT I’VE JUST DONE SOMETHING CRAZY IMPULSIVE AND OMG YOU’RE WATCHING ME SPIRAL OVER WHAT A MISTAKE I’VE JUST MADE AND YOU’RE SO SWEET TO OFFER TO BUY ME A DRINK BECAUSE I SURE AF CANNOT AFFORD ONE. “

“we broke up right before a giant roadtrip our friends planned and we don’t want to bail on everyone and ruin the trip so yay, looks like we get to spend a five hour drive and a weekend in a cottage together.”

Adagio Seo, 20 and is a warlock

just give me that chilling adventure’s of sabrina plots man...it’s why adagio was even made lmao.

adagio while yes, i did made him specifically for that show universe, just like angelica he is mulitverse so he’s not off limits to that show only. if you want him to be in a harry potter au? cool with me. a normal college au? also cool with me. want to go full on twlight, even better lmao. just because he is mostly for the show, doesn’t mean he’s not expandable :)

“ does the “i slept with you the other day and i didnt know we had a mutual friend and now we’re sitting across each other for brunch and it’s awkward because i ran out when you were asleep” au exist bc i need that fic “

ok so adagio has an interest of necromancy but like the thing is he’s bad...like really bad at necromancy lmao (there’s a reason he skills in herbal) so like just give the whacky shiz that can happen when doing necromancy wrong.

basically anything warlock/witch plots, throw them my way! want my wild warlock to have some love :(

please don’t say I’m going alone

He hates the Universe because he has a single hour left of hugging a girlfriend who is now asleep by pure post-crying exhaustion, an hour left of trying to memorize every little detail about her. He hates the Universe because there's only a month left until their one year anniversary and now they won’t get to celebrate it together, because she just spent all too much time away from him undercover in prison in Texas and now they're being separated again, because her face is puffy and pink from crying and he thinks his might be as well.

Or, what went through Jake’s head before he said goodbye to Amy for Florida.

This was actually kind of a semi-prompt from @alwaysandbeyond who wondered aloud in the tags why Jake chose the selfie of Amy he has with him in Florida and prison and said that someone should write a fic about it. Truth be told I’ve always been curious about this so I… wrote the fic. Hope you like it and apologies in advance for the feels

read on ao3

Jake has two hours before the first of four cars that will take him and Holt to witness protection in Florida arrives. He spends them both at Amy’s apartment. There’s no use in packing if he’s not allowed to bring anything with him; no use in anything but hugging his girlfriend so tight he fears he is squeezing her small frame to pieces, all while telling her repeatedly he loves her and won’t forget about her. Not a great promise, considering he has the memory of a goldfish. But he remembers emotions. He remembers anything that caused a strong emotional response at the time or still does. So yes, he’ll remember the woman who has made him feel love in all its different kinds - from aching, unrequited infatuation to the effortless and tender-hearted commitment they’ve reached after almost a year. He’ll remember the fierce but quirky, competitive but lovable detective who just told him she loves him so much and wants to move in with him until he’s old and gray-haired and rotting away in a retirement home in Coral Palms. “They’ll get you out of Witsec”, Amy keeps on repeating for their first ten minutes of their two last hours together, while Jake can’t stop imagining the nightmare scenarios of never getting home again. “We’ll get you out. We’ll catch Figgis. You’ll come home. You have to come home.” He agrees with her. Both of them know nothing's for sure and maybe they really will never see each other again, but last hours are better spent pretending than accepting brutal realities. There will be plenty of time to do so in Florida, he assumes. Amy cries. Long, heaving sobs shake through her body and her tears dampen his t-shirt when she’s pressed tight against him, the two of them together on her bed for the last time in a long while. He tries not to think about how her bed would have been their bed someday soon if Figgis hadn’t called when he did. We should move in together. Haha, said the Universe. Very funny. Jake officially hates the Universe. He hates the Universe because he has a single hour left of hugging a girlfriend who is now asleep by pure post-crying exhaustion, an hour left of trying to memorize every little detail about her. He hates the Universe because there's only a month left until their one year anniversary and now they won’t get to celebrate it together, because she just spent all too much time away from him undercover in prison in Texas and now they're being separated again, because her face is puffy and pink from crying and he thinks his might be as well. He knows he won’t forget her, but he also knows he cannot possibly remember everything, because there's so much to notice about Amy Santiago he’s discovering new things every single day. Some days it’s the cutest constellation of moles at the small of her back, some days a brand new meal she can actually cook without burning the kitchen down or poisoning them both, and one day she even tells him the back-story about a tiny dot in white ink on the foot; a relic from one of the few times she got drunk at a college party and wanted to know what getting tattooed felt like. Other days he discovers how the shape of her eyebrows change marginally sometimes because she claims it’s impossible to fill them in exactly the same every day, or how the sparkling gleam in her eyes when he tells her he loves her is different from the one she gets when she’s really excited over a case, but not all too different from when she’s truly engaged in re-reading the Harry Potter novels for the umpteenth time. (Jake’s not yet sure if he should take it as an insult or a compliment to mean roughly as much to her as he’s discovered those seven books do. From the amount of Ravenclaw or Hogwarts-stamped paraphernalia he keeps finding in various places over her apartment, he’s hoping for the latter.) No photograph could capture the all-consuming focus in her expression when she watches Jeopardy or how melodious her laugh sounds when it's untamed and authentic. Her quick-witted comebacks or the adorable way she scrunches her nose when Hitchcock says something distasteful couldn’t ever be framed into a picture, no matter how skilled the photographer. He knows he’d find every single one perfect, but they still wouldn't capture enough. Maybe he should follow the orders someone gave him and abstain from bringing anything personal to Florida. On the other hand, maybe it could be helpful to have something physical there to ground him. Something to look at to know she’s real and exists somewhere out there, something to remind him she’s more than an intricate and hyper-realistic daydream, might help during all the months and maybe even years he’ll be stranded without her. It’ll have to be a photograph. A picture won’t capture any of her intelligence or humor, but there’s a chance it could capture a sliver of the ethereal beauty she is and right now a chance of a sliver is all he needs. The question is simply which one. He has a ton of pictures of her in uniform or with other members of the squad, all unusable. A picture of her at work would be too difficult to explain should someone see it. No cop pictures. There are even more dorky selfies of the two of them together, making funny faces or even trying to hold the camera up and kiss at the same time, but right now only seeing them so free and happily unknowing is an all too painful sting. And a picture of him with a girl would be even yet more suspicious if he got caught; there’d be no way for him to deny ever knowing the woman in the picture and he’d be screwed. No couple pictures. It doesn't leave him with much. For a moment he’s scared no picture on his phone lives up the necessary requirements, until he swipes far enough to reach a collection of shots he’s nearly forgotten. The pictures are from approximately two months into their relationship, back when everything was still new and a little intimidating. They’re taken in his apartment, and if he closes his eyes, he remembers the moment clear as day. ~ nine months earlier “There are so many Die Hard pictures in your camera roll. Honestly, Jake - aren’t some of these identical?” Amy’s on his couch, taking up most of the space with her head on one armrest and her feet in his lap. They’re looking through each other’s phones for some trivial reason mostly to do with boredom; it began with Jake needing help to spot spelling errors in a text, and now they’re having too much fun looking at pictures in the other person’s gallery to stop. “I don’t know that for sure and I’m not deleting any of them until I have proof!” He tickles her left foot with his free hand, the corners of his mouth twitching when it makes her giggle. “And you have way too many pictures of laminated documents to get to tease me about Die Hard.” “I’m confident I could prove some of these are the same. And lam' jobs are important! I have a blog!” “And I follow said blog! Because I’m an awesome supportive boyfriend!” “Then where are all the pictures on your phone of me, huh? The ones you show your college buddies when you’re having a beer together and bragging about the attractiveness of whatever girl you’re hooking up with?” He can tell she’s trying to fake seriousness, but she keeps interrupting herself with fits of laughter. “Isn’t that what all white heterosexual cis men do when they meet up?” “Amy Santiago, how dare you assume I’m straight?” He’s the one laughing now, his grin growing wider from the sight of hers. “And I have plenty of pictures of you. I think. I had to delete some because I was running out of space for Die Hard stills.” “Maybe I should solve the issue. I’m deleting all the Die Hard stills I know you have doubles of and replacing them with selfies.” “Real mature, Ames.” His eyes light up when an idea hits him. “Ooohh, wait - will there be selfies of you in just a bra? Without one?” “Yeah, I’m the immature one of us two right now”, she scoffs, but the smile on her lips lets him know she’s not really mad. “And no, there won't, because I’m classy. And afraid of you leaving your phone on your desk and Charles somehow finding them.” “You know he’d just be ecstatic I had them.” “That makes it worse. Now, I need to get to work.” She sits up straight and holds out the phone a little bit in front of her so it captures part of the wall behind her as well. “This is serious business.” Jake lets the camera click once, twice, before he dives forward and into the frame. The sudden impact of his weight against her makes Amy fall to the side, and the next few shots come out blurry as he attacks her with a little sloppy but mostly playful kisses. “You’re ruining the pictures”, she whines. “Nah, I’m making them better”, he claims then and puts the camera app on timer before pressing another kiss to her lips. “Now I can show my hypothetical college buddies pictures of me kissing you, so they’ll know you’re for real.” “That would be an issue?” “Oh yeah, they would never believe I was actually dating you. You’re way too pretty.” He swipes through the collection of pictures of them kissing they’ve taken now, showing her the few of them that turned out reasonably sharp. “You’re way too pretty!” “You’re prettier.” “No, you are - oh god, we really are that horrible lovey-dovey couple everyone hated in high school, aren’t we?” Amy hides her face in her hands. “What have we even become?” “Doesn’t matter, because these pictures are hella adorable. I won’t even delete them for more Die Hard stills.” ~ He desperately wants to take one of those cheesy pictures with him to Florida. Even in the less sharp ones, it’s evident to anyone with a functioning pair of eyes how happy they are, and it makes Jake curse silently when he remembers that happiness is being taken from them now, picked up and dumped right into a coursing river of destruction by Figgis. (He should’ve just become an accountant or something equally mind-numbing because at least then he would never have to leave her.) But a picture of the two of them together is too risky and too revealing of his past, so he options for the second best thing - one of the few selfies Amy captured before he joined her. She looks considerably more serious in this picture than in the next one, her lips more a shy smirk than the wide grin she has in the pictures with him, but she looks gorgeous enough for him to want to look at it forever. More importantly, it’s a reminder the next pictures exist. It’s a fragment of a memory of better times, and it’s all he’s brave enough to bring. There’s a buzz from the Bluetooth printer on the desk in Amy’s bedroom as the picture begins to print. Her head shifts a little from where it’s resting on his chest, startled by the sudden noise, and he very nearly starts crying again, because in fifty minutes he’ll be separated from her with nothing more to keep than the selfie he already knows he’ll be staring at until he’s memorized every inch. He’s not going to forget her.

Blog1. Writing the Story

Hello,

My name is Emel Saat. I am the Writer, Director, Producer, Casting Director, Location Scout, Editor and blah blah blah-other hats. All you need to remember is that I am the Writer and Director of Koko Ni Inai (I'm Not Here).

Now, sadly most of these blogs will not be written in real time. I'm going to do my best to write in as much detail as I can remember for you. There were so many things going on at once that I didn't have enough time to write in my journal every day. Now that things have settled down a bit (that is a lie) I have more time to share KNI's story with you, the filmmakers and moviegoers (another lie).

O-K! Many people ask me "Why? Why a Japanese story?" Because clearly, I am not Japanese (you can tell straight from my name. Which is 100% Turkish). Let's skip about my ethnicity and go straight to how the story came to be.

It all started during my sophomore year of College, spring semester 2014. This was an amazing semester. Why?? Because. I. Lived. In. JAPAN. For six months! I attended Kansaigaidai (took me weeks to memorize that name) in Kansai, Osaka in Hirakata-shi. Living there was a good balance of city and rural. It reminded me a lot of the themes Hayao Miyazaki uses in his films. He would always show "old" against "new," and technology versus nature. Even though Miyazaki did not live in Hirakata-shi, the landscape could one day be in a Miyazaki film (if he never retires).

Living there sparked a lot of my creativity and possible stories for future films. But we're here to talk about Koko Ni Inai (I'm Not Here).

I learned a lot living in Osaka. I learned that in Japanese culture simplicity is beautiful. In their art they can take a simple design and use it over and over again. When you step back you see it is actually a complex piece of work.

In America, we're about "bigger is better," and "We need more glitter...no, not glitter, we need sparklers. Wait no! We need fireworks. Come on people we need more pizzas!" Which can be fun and all but I sometimes find myself getting lost in all that "pizzas".

I felt "If I can focus on a single idea and really dig deep into it maybe my films would be better."

Going back to Osaka, my friends and I used the train when we wanted to get outside of Hirakata. As a person who loves stories, I love watching people to see a glimpse of their own story, that day, in the moment. When I watched the people on the train I was super bored. You wanna know why??

EVERYONE was on their phone.

Have you ever tried watching someone stare at thier phone? Try it for a whole train ride. It's completely uninteresting. I was watching businessmen in their fancy suites play candy crush.

Now, I understand in Japan you have to be aware of other people on the train. You can't be loud if you're going to talk to someone. But the silence on the train was too much!

Let's fast forward through the semester--studying, biking, writing Japanese, crying, applying to transfer to a school from New Hampshire to New York City, finding food with pork in it, saying goodbye's to friends, going back home to New York, first day at a new college, aaaaaannnd STOP!

Okay, we are in the first month at Hunter College. It's 2015. I'm back in the familiar city, but with a new start. A new start means new professors, new classmates, and new friends. All of that was true except that last part...

"friends." (I promise you this is leading to the film. Thank you for sticking with me thus far.)

This college was no ordinary college. Everyone who attended commuted. Hunter has every kind of kid from every borough. A lot of the people there were interesting and cool. Once you got to know someone you could tell they had a story. But the thing was...that's if they talked to you. And even if they did talk to you, that first conversation you had with them would be your last. Why?? Because everyone went straight to work or home after class. Also, because dorms were only for kids who came from outside NYC. The rest of the students lived with their parents or shared an apartment with three other people. There wasn't a sense of community. What made it worse was that everyone would be glued to their -*hisses*-phones.

Walking down the halls you would see kids (when I say "kids" I mean students) sitting on the floor with their head down looking at their phone, waiting for their professor to come and unlock the door to the classroom. The halls were always silent. No one looked at each other. I was back to watching boring people.

I saw groups of friends (from their old high school) sit together while playing games or texting on their phones. What was the point in hanging out if you weren't going to talk to each other? Do people not socialize anymore??? In person??

As my boredom grew so did my curiosity. I tried waving at someone on their phone. Not one glanced at me. I then did some Jazz hands...nothing. I did a little dance in the hall. Again, nothing. I tried my hardest to really stare at someone. I used my imaginary telepathy on them...the kid didn't look at me.

I would sit on the Hunter bridge looking at all these students wasting what was supposed to be the best years of our lives --to looking at their phone. I could only think "What a waste."

For my first semester, I took screenwriting 1. We were learning about script format. Every time we finished writing a few pages, we would read everyone's script out loud together and then critique it. I'm used to having my drawings critiqued, but writing is kind of different. Instead of letting an image speak for itself you had to do all the talking (writing) yourself. It was a little uncomfortable at first, but I was so determined to learn story and format, there was no room for embarrassment.

It was around the end of the semester. Our final for the class was the best kind of final a professor could possibly give. He looked at all of us and said,"Do whatevah you want!!!!" ( Note: this was how he sounded in my head). I was blown away at all this freedom. All we had to do was keep it under 15 pages.

Once the class finished I had to go to my Sociology class (which focused on nuclear families and whatnot). I sat there...early for class. I was thinking about what to do for my final project. I was missing Japan so I chose that to be my setting...but what was the story? I was watching the kids sitting around me. Everyone was keeping to themselves on their phone......

wait....wait....ooooOOOHHH! That's what my final script is going to be about!

And that was how Koko Ni Inai (I'm Not Here) was born.

Car Capers Chips

Over the years, potato chip companies gave away many promotional items. This blog will focus on one of the games. One of our followers, Katherine Cox from Oklahoma, provided the attached photos of the Kitty Clover Car Capers (also known as car bingo) game. Katherine estimates the vintage to be from the 1950's. The game was made to avoid boredom during long car trips. As a kid, we played tracking out of state license plates. As you can see, this game tracks a much broader selection of items.

Katherine is trying to figure out whether they were included in tins. Despite a lot of research, I have not yet been able to ascertain how this game was distributed. Can you help her? E-mail me at [email protected] or leave a comment on my Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/TogaChipGuy/.

I previously wrote a blog about Kitty Clover and the history of the company can be found under "Kitty Clover" under the "Building an Industry" link on my TogaChipGuy.com website. Recently, I had the chance to speak with various members of the Lippold family, that owned Kitty Clover. In 1932, Harold J. Lippold, then 18 years old) purchased Kitty Clover and its equipment for $150 to $200 shortly after it was founded. In this depression era, most companies only hired married men with kids to help them survive the tough economic conditions. Since Harold was single, purchasing a company was a means of employment. The original owner had created the logo with the cat in the circle. Harold's father was one of six sons and all of his uncles worked for Kitty Clover. Harold's Dad was a pharmacist. Without a car, Harold frequently borrowed his Dad's car. Harold purchased his Dad's car in exchange for 60 percent of the company stock, 40% to his Dad and 20% to his Mom. Harold's Dad married and divorced. He later asked out the telephone operator at the company and they ended up being married for about fifty years. Once they married, Harold's wife stayed home to raise her family. Harold built a factory that was located on a railroad spur in Omaha, Nebraska. Growing up, Harold's son, Terry, remembers a 3 foot wide metal conveyor belt and a salter. Terry would eat the chips directly off of the conveyor belt. A glass wall separated the office from the factory. All of Harold's Uncles had their offices on one wall and they all used their first two initials on the doors to their offices. In 1954, all of the executives were paid the same amount, $12 thousand a year.

The company purchased its potatoes from Idaho. Kitty Clover chips were known for their flavor. When Harold was asked the secret, he would explain that he only used three ingredients, potatoes, salt and corn oil. His son Terry believes that the corn oil generated the flavor. The oil was changed frequently. The company used a secret code each month to determine the age of the chips. The chips were consigned to stores and displayed on wire racks. When the chips were 10 to 14 days old, the company picked them up from the retailers and these chips were then sold to farmers for pig feed. Employees collected the company's share of the sales proceeds and replenished the chips. The company served nine states and at one time was the world's largest chip manufacturer. Harold didn't expand further to maintain control. The company had 25 route trucks and at one time had a plant in Kansas City, Mo. The building was 80 thousand square feet and the company had 150 employees.

Harold had two sons and two daughters. I recently spoke to his son Terry, his granddaughter Teri (daughter of Harold's daughter Pat) and Harold's other son, Denny's widow, Judy. In the 1950's, women were not as valued in business as men. Rather than pass the company down to his sons, for fear that the siblings would quarrel, even though they got along well, Harold, his wife and his parents sold out to Fairmont Foods. Harold used some of the sales proceeds from the company to set up his two sons in their own businesses which were Dairy Queen franchises.

When Fairmont Foods purchased Kitty Clover in 1955, they fired all of Harold's relatives and replaced them with college graduates who were non-informed of the techniques the Lippolds used in building their potato chip business. Fairmont wanted to diversify outside of the dairy business and had expansion plans for Kitty Clover. A lot of the company's knowledge disappeared with the firing of the Lippolds and the company went out of business within two years. Harold died in 2006 at the age of 90.

See the photos of the Kitty Clover brochure.

Enjoy, Joe South's rendition of "The Games People Play."

Coronavirus: What UAE residents are doing to beat boredom

Neelesh Bhatia engages in screentime with family and friends Picture Credit score: Provided

Dubai: The UAE stepped up measures to fight COVID-19, by launching an intensive country-wide sterilisation drive to curb the unfold of the virus. In consequence residents have been compelled to keep indoors, else face the danger of fines.

Progression Blog

After looking back through the SWOT Analysis that I created, I have come to understand that my main strengths are being able to perform under pressure, having the knowledge to use multiple software packages like Photoshop and Premier Pro and other Adobe products, I have comprehensive camera skills that I am developing with each project I do, I have had comments on my strong team work skills and the commitment I show from my peers, I am resourceful with a creative mind that is quick to solve problems and finding creative solutions to various problems and I am always willing to participate in lessons and discussions and will give my own ideas and opinions.

My most significant weaknesses are poor time management as I always leave projects till the last day or week to complete or start working on causing the quality of my work to be worse than it potentially could be, I am very easily distracted by everything and get sidetracked or bored very quickly meaning I get very little work done when I’m at college or when I’m at home, I have a problem with getting somewhere on time or getting to bed at a reasonable time meaning I’m always tired and I’m more than likely late to college, I also have an unwillingness to do any sort of work as my mind wants to do so many other things but that probably links to me being easily sidetracked.

However over the past year i have had here at college I have been able to develop and improve these weaknesses and turn them into strengths like how I've learnt how to shift my focus more on to my work and stay focused for longer, I have also noticed that I get in that focused mindset I work a lot faster and produce more well made pieces of work. I haven’t been able to improve on my sleep schedule yet as my mind is still always active so it keeps me up late and I still turn up to college late meaning I miss out on time to progress my projects and I can miss out on information that might help give me more direction on how to go about doing my assignments. The main areas that I want to work on are my production skills such as using cameras, editing techniques and pre-production management as i believe these to be my most important skills that I have at my disposal. In order to develop these skills, I have come up with the following action plan:

During my time on this course i also learnt about progressing on to University in depth and in a more hands on fashion, I went to three different universities to have look at their facilities two of these trips were open days where i went to look and the University of Bournemouth and the University of Portsmouth, I went to Southampton University with the college as a day trip. Out of the three Universities Bournemouth stood out to me the most and I really enjoyed looking around not just the Uni grounds but the surrounding town and the accommodation, the facilities that they provide at Bournemouth are top notch and they have two new studios and a new build being constructed that will greatly benefit me as I decided to make it my first choice of Universities and got an Unconditional offer, I chose Portsmouth second and Southampton was my final choice, this was because I felt that Bournemouth would give me a better experience as I don’t live near there so it will be a new experience where as I live near both Portsmouth and Southampton and I visit both cities often.

I will be doing a Media Production course when I go to Bournemouth University, I am doing this course so I have a better chance of getting a job in the media industries.

With the qualifications i will gain from a course like that i can get jobs like these which would require skills like attention to detail, creative ideas and verbal confidence.

I have also learned how to act during an interview. Here’s is how I recommend you should act during an interview:

Dos:

1. Plan ahead – know where you are going and who to ask for

2. Do Your prep beforehand – how can you benefit the company? What are their goals? Are there training opportunities to develop my skills?

3. Think Positive

4. Be Presentable

5. Use appropriate body language

6. Ask questions about the job and company to show your interest

7. Using Specific Examples in your responses

8. Remind yourself of your personal statement before you go

Donts:

Not prepared

Confusing the course/job with another one

Showing doubts

Relying on your achievements

Dishonesty

Being overly familiar

Arrogance

Boredom

Negativity

Not making eye contact

Dressing inappropriately

Being late

During an interview for work of college, you will also be asked questions – so prepare answers beforehand. For example:

· What is it about our course that made you apply here?

· Why do you want to go into this area?

· Why do you want to come to this university?

· What do you think will be your biggest challenge on entering/completing this course?

· What aspect of this course are you particularly interested in?

· Can you tell me about any skills or qualities that you have that you think will help you throughout the course?

· Can you tell me about anything that is currently happening in the industry that you have taken in interest in?

Here are a handful of books that you should keep your eye out for, especially because it is Asian-American History Month!

When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon

Published: May 30th 2017 Publisher: Simon Pulse Purchase: Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Book Depository

Dimple Shah has it all figured out. With graduation behind her, she’s more than ready for a break from her family, from Mamma’s inexplicable obsession with her finding the “Ideal Indian Husband.” Ugh. Dimple knows they must respect her principles on some level, though. If they truly believed she needed a husband right now, they wouldn’t have paid for her to attend a summer program for aspiring web developers…right?

Rishi Patel is a hopeless romantic. So when his parents tell him that his future wife will be attending the same summer program as him—wherein he’ll have to woo her—he’s totally on board. Because as silly as it sounds to most people in his life, Rishi wants to be arranged, believes in the power of tradition, stability, and being a part of something much bigger than himself.

The Shahs and Patels didn’t mean to start turning the wheels on this “suggested arrangement” so early in their children’s lives, but when they noticed them both gravitate toward the same summer program, they figured, Why not?

Dimple and Rishi may think they have each other figured out. But when opposites clash, love works hard to prove itself in the most unexpected ways. - Goodreads

MAKE THIS BREAK PRODUCTIVE

Yes, even i know Rachel and Ross were on a break, but here it isn’t about them but YOU. It is about for the month of June to begin and most of us have already started relaxing our bums and torsos. Summers are all about chillin because what else could be done in this blazing heat! Let’s chill along while developing some skills. It would be better not to waste time for youngsters but grab some new and exciting skills which can be offered to you at the comfort of your home and also would be more than useful in this competitive world . as an added bonus thses may span for a maximum of 2-3 months. Yes, certificates included. I’ve got you a list of some time utilizing and CV enrichment dexterities you should grab this summer(thank me later).

1.Revamp your resume, cover letter and/or essays

Whether it’s a job, internship or college application resume, cover letter or essays, updated documents are always good to keep on hand at all times – after all, you never know when you might need them! Opportunity knocks the moment you’re least expecting it so it’s always best to be prepared at a moment’s notice. As a result, take the extra time during your break to work on all your important documents, adding any extra information you have had since you last updated them.

2.Volunteer

The holidays are a great time to volunteer. There are so many options out there, with something suited to everyone. You can volunteer as a teacher for a primary school, at an NGO as a worker, or at some social drive. Companies appreciate if applicants have a nice record of social activites which benefit the people. Connect with NGOs, social servicing groups, gram/nagar panchayats and suggest the innovative ideas that will bring a great change to the society. Besides being suggestive, involve physically in the activities. Apparently you will find yourself engaged in PMs “Brooms Up” movement. Alternatively, form groups with friends/colony members etc to contribute significantly. At the very least level, bring out a few awareness rallies on topics of concern like “save water/girl child” (Keep “save tigers” out of this), have some self-made knowledge-imparting posters, flyers, banners and other similar things stick at public places.

3.State-of-art activities

Billiards, snooker, lawn tennis, cooking, baking, yoga and even swimming are the things to learn this summer. Robotics, computer language courses, English speaking classes, online study courses (prefer the certification courses), learn other languages and many more of the crash courses make themselves available during vacations. Enroll yourself in less-lucrative-but-essential activities. Of course, they come with a nominal price package but the learning you will get will be of prime value.

4.Thinking and Deciding

Take time to reflect on next semester. Thinking about what you want to do next semester managing your time better and meeting more people can help you be mentally ready when the next semester starts. And planning can help eliminate the stress around what the future will bring.

5. Take a Trip by Yourself

You’re surrounded by people while at school. Why not hop on a bus, plane, or train and head somewhere alone? Go check out museums on your own time, eat where and what you want to eat, and stay where you want to. It might be the first time in a long time that you haven’t had to share a room with anyone. We suggest you not to plans for Goa because they mostly end up being cancelled(pun intended).

6. Get a part-time job

Have you thought about getting a part-time job this holiday? The money you will earn can help you fund your expenses instead of taking out from your savings or charging purchases to credit. Moreover it will add to your work experience. Yes think about it, the early you start earning the more self dependent you become.

7. Learn

Learning is another way to utilize your semester break. Learn to use new software. Learn how to work on Photoshop and Illustrator, learn how to do programming. You can learn anything you want. It can be photography or even how to play guitar. Your learning will pay-off someday. Enroll to courses on Udemy, Coursera, edx. These are university collaborated websites and offer world best courses from highly qualified instructors. You can either opt for a paid certificate course or a free online course. You can easily choose relevant courses according to your graduation streams like C Programming, Java Programming, Adobe Photoshop, Digital Marketing, French Proficiency course, Robotics, Fahion Designing, Web Designing and many more.

8 Start your ownj Youtube Channel

Admit it. You did pass a lot of your classes with the heavenly guidance of those YouTubers. It’s time you can be on the other side. If your passion is teaching and spreading knowledge, go start a YouTube channel giving lectures on topics you love. Help illuminate lives! Or if you want to make a fun vlog channel, beauty channel or one of those random unboxing channels, do it! Become a YouTube entertainer.

9. Start writing/blogging

Everyone should try out writing blogs at least once in their lives. There are millions of people on the internet who are hungry for anything to kill their boredom with. So grab your pen (I mean the keyboard) and start blogging. You can write on academic topics or your personal experiences or even on your hobbies. You can also answer desperate questions of engineering aspirants or clear their doubts (that’s a kind of community service too!) There’s a place for everything and everyone! You might have some other ideas too, do comment below. Happy holidays!

Activate Student Interest in Reading with Three Proven Strategies

“I just can’t get the student to do the readings.”

It’s a refrain I hear with each new class of college instructors I teach. We will be discussing classroom management methods and inevitably the topic of student reading comes up, and the class will laugh and sigh with frustration. As a faculty educator, this has made me question how to get students to read what they’re assigned. More importantly, how to get them to want to read what they’re assigned.

Since COVID-19 has pushed classicists into the brave new world of online facilitation, the clamor to answer these questions has reached a crescendo. In a recent Blackboard post, one of my student-instructors wrote: “I found that most of the time, [my] students fail to do the student readings prior to class. I end up having to teach from scratch during my classes and conduct a lot of checks-on-learning…This has been my role and method of classroom management for the past couple of months. Next semester, when I can actually lay the ground rules, I will be holding them accountable for not doing the pre-readings.”

His frustration is palpable.

After selecting the perfect readings, writing hefty notes in the margins of the texts and articles, and framing in-depth discussion points for the class, it would follow that a vibrant class discussion on the lesson’s more nuanced points would occur. But then, only a fraction of the class actually completed the reading. It’s a letdown, and now that precious class time is used to discuss the fundamentals from the reading. Everyone loses, little is gained, and lots of potential is lost.

The quandary of getting students to read is an ongoing concern that’s magnified now. The typical pre-pandemic reasons students had for not reading have unavoidably shifted over the last few months. Now, students must manage the distractions of the changes in personal circumstance and reprioritize their motivations for everything in life, including the reading they’re assigned. Where they may have been intrinsically motivated to read for the purpose of informing a class discussion or a quiz, that motivation now fails the common sense test against the extrinsic motivators of figuring out how to live and operate within the restrictions of their new lived reality. Put another way, students must now balance priorities that fall at the bottom of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, whereas the assigned reading is part of the self-actualization category.

This means that if students are expected to complete their readings, the material’s utility must do more than just inform a conversation or a test. Instead, it must meaningfully coalesce into something more tangible.

To get at this, I’ve used a unique strategy that promotes reading completion, emphasizes critical reflection, eliminates punitive grading, and uses tools that promote democratic learning.

1. Scaffold Readings into Meaningful Responses: Instead of assigning readings as a standalone requirement in service to the next class, shorten the feedback loop by coupling the reading into a pre-class assignment. This is done by creating an interactive pre-class assignment and then merging the reading into the assignment’s instructions. By incorporating the reading into the assignment, the reading scaffolds into the larger task, which forces critical reflection and meaning-making.

Here’s an example: Issue a relevant scenario based on the class’s topic. Next, include a list of questions that require the students to explain, describe, or apply certain points from the reading to the scenario. This makes the reading and the associated need for critical reflection a by-product of the scenario and allows the students to understand how the reading is relevant in a qualified context.

2. Segment the Readings: If you have ever watched an online lecture, after a few minutes of active listening—unless the speaker is engaging—it’s easy for boredom to creep in and to become distracted. The same is true for reading assignments. Assigning a 40-page chapter or a 25-page case study is similar to assigning a 40-minute lecture to watch. Reading non-narrative material can be overwhelming, especially material that’s peppered with data and complex language; that’s even onerous for seasoned academics.

Instead, consider segmenting the reading into smaller chunks. Don’t just expect students to push through the 40 pages of reading and to then critically reflect on it before the next class; give them a roadmap through segmenting. To do this, instruct students to read a set number of pages each day and to actively engage with the text (highlight key points, write in the margins). Consider giving them a structured overview for distilling the essence of each segment (i.e., what it was about and why they think it matters). Explain that this level of critical reflection will help them apply the readings to the pre-class assignment.

3. Encourage Mixed Media Responses: Essays and journals have long been the standard for capturing student reflections. But they are limited as mediums of creative expression. Now, plenty of other digital interventions exist that easily democratize learning by giving students the maximum flexibility for critical reflection on their own terms:

Most LMSs include a discussion board utility for active learning and student community building. Discussion boards are well-tested and have been found to promote critical reflection in a safe environment. As a medium for reflection, discussion boards benefit students by allowing more time to think and to see peer responses, unlike the immediacy of an in-class intervention, such as a quiz.

As an educative medium, blogging is a bridge between what students are digitally familiar with and what is being asked of them in the academic world. For the digital classroom, blogs are a gateway experience for empowering students with the freedom to uniquely structure their prose, incorporate videos and pictures, share their posts on social media, and to interact with their peers in the comments section.

Similarly, vlogs (video blogs) give students much of the same capability as blogs, but focus on the video feature versus the text features of blogging. In the last few years vlogging has increased in popularity, with one organization reporting that over half (52%) of Americans say they watch a vlog and millennials (72%) responding that they are especially likely to be viewers. This means that the target demographic using this medium is also likely interested in creating new content, even for educational settings.

The same is true for COVID-19 has caused students to reimagine what’s important in their academic lives, leaving course readings in limbo. But there are ways to positively motivate students to read what’s assigned.

With the proliferation of podcasts in the last decade, students not only listen to them, but are also creating them with increased speed. With a variety of free smartphone apps like students can create digital content with relative ease and produce high-quality digital content with little-to-no training or expense.

Encouraging students to apply their digital prowess is a wonderful means of enabling democratized learning. When democratized strategies like blogging, vlogging and podcasting is consistently used for getting students to read before each class, those products can then be merged into an evaluated portfolio at the end of your course. This gives students an extrinsically motivating post-course benefit that they can always carry with them. Imagine having a well-produced podcast or streaming video series about your course’s content that shows off the quality of your material and your students’ creative skills! With the resources at their disposal, that’s possible today.

However, the technology should make sense for enabling course outcomes and augmenting a course’s strategy; it should never consume the course. What an instructor is comfortable with matters just as much as what’s available in the student’s digital repertoire.

Also, be aware of how students’ socio-economic reality affects their choices of digital engagement. Students coming from disadvantaged backgrounds or lacking the means or skills for using mixed media may feel disenfranchised, especially if they see the instructor prefers certain mediums over others. Make it clear that none of the options are preferred over the other, especially for grading purposes.
