Housamo 2017 Christmas Event, first half of Story 1a

Recently, the Housamo people announced that the main story quests (for the currently released chapters 1-6, at least) are going to have an English translation in game. As a result, I’m focusing on the event quests that are outside the main story. Please forgive me, I’ll be starting with the current special event instead of going back to try the earlier ones.

For some reason, the quests are labeled like 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, etc. This post is the first half of 1a. Sorry, there’s a TON of screengrabs, and I’m really bad at this, so I’m tackling it in pieces.

Please accept this first batch--88 screenshots, representing the first half of the introductory quest 1a.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

リョウタ：　はぁ。。。　はぁ。。。　っ！　ま、　まだ追いかけてきるぅーーっ！ Ryouta: Haaa... haa.... ma, mada oikakete-kiruuuuu! Ryouta: haaa... haa.... they're still chasing uuuuuuusss!

マリア：　リョウタ様。。。！　いけません！　私はあの方たちにお話がーーー Maria: Ryouta-sama! Ikemasen! Watashi wa ano houtachi ni o-hanashi ga--- Maria: Sir Ryouta! I can't go on! I can speak with them--

リョウタ：　そんなこと言ってる場合じゃないよーう！　とにかく走って走って！　ハリーアップゥッ！！ Ryouta: sonnakoto itteru ba'ai janai you! Tonikaku hashitte hashitte! Harii Appuuuuuu!! Ryouta: Now's not the time to say your case! Anyway, run, run! HURRY UP!!

ーーー　暮れも押し迫った、 12月のある晩。 --- kure mo oshisematta, 12-tsuki no aru ban Nightfall was also imminent, one December evening

白い息吐きながら、　少年少女が全力で駆けてゆく。 Shiroi iki tsuki-nagara*, shounen shoujo ga zenryoku de kakete yuku Whilst exhaling white breaths, the boy and girl ran away with everything they had

��折背後を気にしつつ、　緊張した面持ちで。 Tokiori haigo o ki ni shitsutsu, kinchou shita omomochi de Occasionally they glanced behind them with a nervous expression

* I'm not sure if it's haki-nagara or tsuki-nagara. The verb 吐く has two readings, tsuku and haku--and they both have to do with breathing, or vomiting, or expressing a lie/thought.

もう数度目の角を曲がったところでーーー Mou suudome no tsuno o magatta tokoro de [Light, I have no idea. I think something like "after rounding a few more corners..."]

少年は、　その足を止めた。 Shonen wa, sono ashi o tometa The boy stopped his feet

リョウタ：　－し、　しまったぁっ！　袋小路だぁ！　今すぐ戻って！　Uターン！ Ryouta: --shi, shimattaaaa! Hukurokouji daaa! Ima sugu modotte! U-TAAN! Ryouta: --d, dang iiiit! It's a dead eeeeeeend. Immediate retreat! U-TURN!

マリア：　リョウタ様。　そのような時間はないようです。 Maria: Ryouta-sama. Sono youna jikan wa nai you desu Maria: Sir Ryouta. This doesn't seem like the time for that

巻き込んでしまい、　申し訳ありません。 Makikonde shimai, moushiwake arimasen. You got involved in this... I'm terribly sorry

リョウタ：　だ、　大丈夫だよ！　な、なんとかなるなるっ。 Ryouta: da, daijoubu da yo! Na, nantoka naru naruuu Ryouta: I-It's okay! Th-that's just how it happened is all....

。。。　「アプリ」さえあれば、　まだなんとかなったのに。 ... 'apuri' sae areba, mada nantoka nattanoni. [I *think* he's saying "if I only had the (summoning) app on my phone, I could do something (to help us out)"...]

ごろつき：　へへ。。。　やっと捕まえたぜ？ Gorotsuki: heh heh... yatto tsukamaeta ze? Thugs: heh heh... ya finally got it?

往生際が悪いんだよ、　てめぇら！ Oujougiwa ga warui-n dayo, temee-ra! Y'all don't know when to give up!

["temee" is an offensive word for "you", while the "-ra" at the end makes it refer to a plural you instead of singular, I guess much like adding "-tachi"? I guess this is that slang or dialect thing that my About Page warns you that I'm trash it. Please be gentle with me! ]

[Note: throughout this scene, there are three thugs. Sometimes only one of the three is pictured as speaking, and it rotates between them, but... they don't matter enough to worry about which one is speaking at which time]

マリア：　。。。。。。。ㇱ！ Maria: ....... shi! [Is that tiny "shi" supposed to be the start of a word, or just a generic gasp or something? I refuse to deal with Japanese onomatopoeia right now so please overlook this]

リョウタ：　ま、　マリアちゃん？　危ないよ！　ねえ、　ちょっとーーー Ryouta: Ma... Maria-chan? Abunai yo! Nee, chotto... Ryouta: Ma-Maria? It's dangerous! Hey, wait...

マリア：　貴方がたですね。　我が校の生徒たちに暴行を働き、 Maria: Anata gatadesu ne. Wagakou no seito-tachi ni boukou wo hataraki, Maria: It was you, huh. Assaulting the students of our school,

あまつさえ金銭を略奪するという方々は。 amatsusae kinsen o ryakudatsu suru to iu katagata wa. and robbing their money... you're the people who have done that.

[Sorry, this translates a little awkwardly if I divide it line by line. Maybe in this case, I should have left it all together. Google Translate renders the full sentence as "The people who have assaulted our school's students and plundered (their) money"...]

マリア：　即刻、　そのような行いを反省しーーー

Maria: Sokkoku, sono youna okonai o hansei shi Maria: Immediately, reflect upon those actions---

被害に遭われた方に、　謝罪を。 higai ni awa reta kata ni, shazai o. and those who were brought to harm, apologize to them.

リョウタ：　だ、　ダメだよマリアちゃん！　「アプリ」が入ったスマホ。。。　なくしちゃってるんだよ？ Ryouta: da, dame dayo Maria-chan! "Apuri" ga haitta sumaho... nakushi chatteru-n dayo?* Ryouta: I-It's no use Maria! My smartphone with the app... I can't find it?

["nakushi chatteru-n dayo"... I have no idea how this works. Google Translate suggests "You lost it?", and I kind of believe it when it comes to verb identification. But trying to look that up on jisho.org word by word, it's... confusing]

リョウタ：　怪我をしてま、　癒すこともできない。　いつものようにはいかないんだ！ Ryouta: Kega o shite ma*, iyasukoto mo dekinai. Itsumo no you niwa ikanai-n da! Ryouta: If we get injured, we won't be able to get healed up. It's not gonna go like it usually does!

[What does this "ma" phrase-ending mean? From the next sentence, I'm assuming it's a particle indicating a conditional "if", as opposed to being a part of the previous verb "shite", but... I really have no idea]

マリア：　いいえ、　リョウタ様。　罪を重ねる方々を、　見捨てるわけにはまいりません。 Maria: Iie, Ryouta-sama. Tsumi o kasaneru katagata o, misuteru wake niwa mairimasen. Maria: No, Sir Ryouta. The people who pile up their sins... I can't allow myself to abandon them.

ごろつき：　は、　迫力のある女だな。。。　人聞きの悪いこと言うなよ、　嬢ちゃん。 Gorotsuki: Ha, hakuryoku no aru onna da na... hitogiki no warui koto iu na yo, jouchan. Thugs: Wh-What strong force this woman has... don't say such bad things about people, young miss.

ごろつき：　オレたちはただ、　身の程を教えてやってるだけよ。 Gorotsuki: Oretachi wa tada, minohodo o oshiete yatteru dake yo Thugs: We're nothing special, simply showing you your place

チャラチャラ金目の物を持ち歩くまんじゃねえってことをな Chara-chara kaneme no mono o mochiarukuma-n janettekoto o na You shouldn't be carrying around such unnecessary valuables

マリア：　ーーーそのようなことㇱ！！ Maria: ---sono you na koto-!! Maria: ... that sort of thing...!!

ずいっとマリアが距離を詰めると、　ごろつきのひとりが、　彼女の腕を掴んだ。 Zuitto Maria ga kyori o tsumeru to, gorotsuki no hitori ga, kanojo no ude o tsukanda. When Maria had almost closed the distance between them, one of the thugs grabbed her arm.

ごろつき：　おぉ、　こえぇ。　まったく、　気の強え女だ。　 Gorotsuki: Oo, koee. Mattaku, ki no tsuyo e onnada. Thugs: Ohh, look here. For sure, you're a strong-spirited gal.

「アプリ」も無しに、　敵うとでも思ってんのか！　アァ！？ "Apuri" mo nashi ni, kanau to demo omotten no ka! Aa!? Without your app, do you really think you stand a threat as our enemy? Huh!?

マリア： くっ。。。　お離しなさい！ Maria: Ku... ohanashinasai! Maria: Guh... Unhand me!

リョウタ：　マ、　マリアちゃん！　うわあああ！　その手を、　離せぇぇっ！ Ryouta: Ma, Maria-chan! Uwaaaa! Sono te o, hanaseeeee-! Ryouta: Ma-Maria! Wowowowow! Get your hands ooooffffff!

なんとかしようと突進したリョウタだが、　あっさりかわされ、　地面に突っ伏してしまう。 Nantoka shiyou to tosshin shita Ryouta daga, assari kawasare*, jimen ni tsuppushite shimau. Ryouta rushed forward to do something, but something got in the way, and he fell to the ground

[I have literally no idea what "assari kawasare" is. When you put the full sentence here into Google, it suggests something like "but it was bothered". In isolation, Google has zero idea what to do with it. I'm just guessing]

ごろつき：　ハッ、　こいつにも身の程ってのを、　分からせてやる必要がありそうだ。。。なぁ！ Gorotsuki: Haa, koitsu nimo minohodo tte no o, wakarasete yaru hitsuyou ga ari soda... naa! Thugs: Heh, this guy too--seems like we need to make him understand, too, ehhh?

リョウタ： [PlayerName]... 委員長, ケンゴ。。。！ Ryouta: [PlayerName]... iinchou, Kengo...! Ryouta: [PlayerName]... Class Rep, Kengo...!

[委員長 (iinochou) is part of Shirou's in-game title]

リョウタ： 。。。　助けてㇱ。。。！！ Ryouta: ... tasukete...!! Ryouta: ... help...!!!

[calling your name with their last breath, your friend then perished the end </GrimHousamoAU>]

ごろつき：　ん。。。？何の音だ。。。？　鐘の音か？　これだからクリスマスってのは。。。 Gorotsuki: n...? Nan-no oto da...? Kane-no ne ka? Koredakara Kurisumasu tte no wa... Thugs: eh...? What's that sound...?  A bell's tone? It is Christmas, though...

ごろつき：　おい、　どんどん近づいてくるぞ！　なんだ。。。？　寒気。。。？ Gorotsuki: Oi, dondon chikadzuite kuru zo! Nan da...? Samuke...? Thugs: Hey, it's steadily getting closer! What is...? A chill...?

youtu.be/YTy9v9a7Tmo

ごろつき：　な、　な、　な、　なんか出たァㇱ！？ Gorotsuki: na, na, na, nanka detaaaa!? Thugs: S-s-s-s-something came out!?

ごろつき：　何だァ。。。　テメェ？　こいつらの仲間か？　助けにでも来たのかよ。 Gorotsuki: Nan daa... temee? Koitsu-ra no nakama ka? Tasuke ni demo kita no ka yo. Thugs: What... this bastard right here? You friends with these guys? You come ta help them?

そこに立っていたのはーーー　「PlayerName]でも、　シロウでも、　ケンゴでもない。 Soko ni tatte ita no wa--- [PlayerName] demo, Shirou demo, Kengo demo nai. But the one standing there... it wasn't [PlayerName], nor Shirou, nor Kengo.

漆黒の毛に覆われたーーー　武骨な風貌の獣人。 Shikkoku no ke ni owareta--- bukotsuna fuubou no kemonohito Covered in jet black fur--- an rough-looking beastman

筋骨隆々とした肉体に刻まれた、　痛々しい傷跡。 Kinkotsu ryuuryuu to shita nikutai ni kizamareta, itaitashii kizuato Carved into their body that overflowed with chisled muscles: painful scars.

深々と被ったフードの下からは、　ギロリと大きな目玉が、　こちらを睨む。 Fukabuka to kabutta huudo no shita kara wa, girori* to ookina medama ga, kochira o niramu Silently from beneath their hood, their huge staring eyes glared out.

[I can't directly translate ギロリ (girori). Jisho.org thinks it might be a form of ぎょろり (gyorori), meaning staring or glaring? I'm inclined to believe it]

ブラックサンタ？：　お前らは。。。　「悪い子」だな？ Burakku Santa?: Omaera wa... "warui ko" dana? Black Santa?: You guys... are you "naughty children"?

["Omae" is a rude form of "you" (though less rude than the "temee" the thugs used in part 33?)]

ごろつき： 質問に質問返してじゃねーぞ！　こっちの質問に答えろコラァㇱ！ Gorotsuki: Shitsumon ni shitsumon kaeshite ja nee-zo! Kocchi no shitsumon ni kotaero kora! Thugs: Don't respond to our question with another question! You answer our frakkin' question!

[I think the final コラ (kora) there is a meaningless interjection, like "hey!" or "yo!"]

ブラックサンタ？： 「悪いの子」－－－なんだな？ Burakku Santa?: "Warui ko"---nan da yo? Black Santa?: "Naughty child"---what is it?

ごろつき：　この感じ、　何処かで。。。？　わっ。。。　「悪い子」なら、　どうだってんだよ！

Gorotsuki: Kono kanji, dokoka de...? Wa... "warui ko" nara, dou datte-n da yo! Thugs: This feeling, somewhere...? I-If you're saying "naughty children", just what do you mean?

ブラックサンタ？： 　。。。そうだよなぁ。　「悪い子」に決まってる。 Burakku Santa?: ... sou da yo naa~. "warui ko" ni kimatteru. Black Santa?: ... yes indeed. It's settled: you're "naughty children"

抵抗しない者をいたぶり、　暴行を加えようする連中がーーー Teiko shinaimono o itaburi, boukou o kuwaeyou suru renchuu ga Your gang, who committed assault against people who did not resist--

ブラックサンタ？： ーーー　まかり間違っても、　「いい子」なわけがない。 Burakku Santa?: --- makari machigatte mo, [ii ko] wake ga nai. Black Santa?: --- if you continue to go wrong, you can't be "nice children".

ごろつき：　だっ。。。　だから！　どうすんだって、　訊いてんだろうが！ Gorotsuki: Da--dakara! Dou sun datte, kiite-n darou ga! Thugs: S-So what! Whatever you do, I don't care!

ブラックサンタ？：　どうする？　決まっているだろう。　 Burakku Santa?: Dou suru? Kimatte irudarou. Black Santa?: What will I do? It will be decided.

クリスマスの訪わは、　裁きの時の訪わでもある。 Kurisumasu no otonawa wa, sabaki no toki no otonawa demo aru. Christmas visits are also Judgment Time visits.

ブラックサンタ？： すべての子供は、　聖なる者の審判を受け、　「良い子」と「悪い子」に分別される。 Burakku Santa?: Subete no kodomo wa, seinarumono no shinpan o uke, "ii ko" to "warui ko" ni bunbetsusareru. Black Santa?: Every child receives the saints' judgment, divided into "Naughty" and "Nice"

ブラックサンタ？： 「良い子」には、　惜しめない祝福を以て、　その褒美が与えられるがーーー Burakku Santa?: "ii ko" niwa, oshimenai shukufuku o motte, sono houbi ga ataerareruga---. Black Santa?: To good children, generous blessings and rewards are given...

ブラックサンタ？： 「悪い子」」には、聖人の従者からの叱責と、 Burakku Santa?: "Warui ko" niwa, seijin no juusha karano shisseki to, Black Santa?:  To naughty children, a rebuke from the saint's followers

厳格にして無慈悲な「罰」が与えられる genkaku ni shite mujihina "batsu" ga ataeraeru. and a strictly merciless "punishment" are given.

ブラックサンタ？： オレの仕事は、　聖人の従者に成り代わり、 Burakku Santa?: Ore no shigoto wa, seijin no juusha ni narikawari, Black Santa?: ~My~ job is, as a follower of the saint,

「悪い子」に相応の「罰」を与える事 "warui ko" ni souou no "batsu" o ataerukoto. to give an appropriate punishment to naughty children.

ブラックサンタ？： ーーーだから、　「悪い子」のお前らには。。。 Burakku Santa?: ---dakara, "warui ko" no omae-re niwa... Black Santa?:  ---and so, to you "naughty children"...

ブラックサンタ？： 「オシオキ」を執行する。 Burakku Santa?: "Oshioki" o shikkou suru Black Santa?: I'm executing your "punishment"

ごろつき：　お、　お、　お、　おしおきぃぃぃっ！！？ Gorotsuki: O, O, O, Oshiokiiii!!? Thugs: P-p-p-punishment!!?

ブラックサンタ？： ヒャァーーㇱハㇱハㇱハㇱハ！！　覚悟はできてんだろうな、　悪ガキ共ォッ！！ Burakku Santa?: Hyaa-ha-ha-ha-ha!! Kakugo wa dekite-n darou na, aki gakidomoooo!! Black Santa?: Hyahahahahahaha!! You should prepare for it, naughty brats!

ブラックサンタ？： テメェらに与える、　オレからの「罰」は、　 Burakku Santa?: Temee-ra ni ataeru, ore kara no "batsu" wa, Black Santa?:  The "penalty" I'm giving you bastards--

灰袋でパンパン叩くなんて生易しいモンじゃねェぞ！？ hainukuro de panpan-tataku nante namayashii mon ja nee zo!? --beating you with ash bags would be easy, yeah?

[The ending 生易しいモンじゃねェぞ (namayashii mon ja nee zo)... I have no idea what that is. In isolation, "namayashii" is "simple/easy"... but I don't know what that katakana モン (mon) is, so I'm guessing at how this "beating you like a drum with my bags" sentence is ending]

ブラックサンタ？： 地獄行きにも等しい、　この爪による洗礼ーーー　受けさせてやるぜェッ！！ Burakku Santa?: Jigoku iki ni mo hitoshii, kono tsume ni yoru seneri --- uke sasete yaru ze!! Black Santa?: It'll be like going into hell. This baptism by my claws ---　I'll let you receive it!!

ごろつき： はっ！？　な、　何だこいつ！！　急にキャラが変わりやがったぁぁぁぁっ！？ Gorotsuki: Haa!? Na, nanda koitsu!! Kyuu ni kyara ga kawari ya gatta Thugs: Huh!? Wh-what's with this guy!? Suddenly his character has changed!?

ごろつき： か、　鉤爪を装備してやがる！　コイツ、　ヤベェよ！　は、　はやく逃げッ。。。！ Gorotsuki: Ka, kagidzume o soubi shite yagaru! Koitsu, yabe yo! Ha, hayaku nige...! Thugs: H-He's got claw equipment! This guy--he's dangerous! Q-quick, run away...!

ブラックサンタ？： 逃がすかよォッ！！　喰らいやがれ。。。 Burakku Santa?: Nigasu ka yo!! Kurai yagare... Black Santa?:  Running away, eh? I'm gonna devour you--

[喰らい (kurai) uses an irregular kanji 喰. It looks close to 食 (from taberu, for example), and apparently has similar meanings--to the point that searching on Jisho for "喰 kurai" brings up results for its partner 食 as well.]

youtu.be/YTy9v9a7Tmo again

ブラックサンタ？： 「振鐘」必罰、　デア・ヴィルデマン！！ Burakku Santa?: [See note below] hitsubatsu, Dea Virude Man!! Black Santa?: "Swinging Bell" inevitable punishment: Der Wilde Mann!

[Note 1: "Der Wilde Mann" is his in-game charge skill.]

[Note 2: The furigana over the 「skill name」 reads "Shinshou". This renders the entire thing as "Shinshou Hitsubatsu", for "sure punishment or reward". However, the kanji for that phrase is 信賞必罰. But they've kept just the "sure punishment" last two kanji. The first two were swapped out for 「振鐘」--which, near as I can figure, is "swinging bell"? Maybe "fu-kane"? Months ago, I started translating the first chapter, and I remember Housamo doing this a bit. They'd provide kanji with one meaning, but then give furigana that didn't actually match the literal kanji, though it would provide insight into the meaning...

Anyway, there you go. They're referencing the phrase for "sure punishment or reward", but pulling out the kanji for Faith 信 and Reward 賞, to replace them with the kanji for Swing 振 and Bell 鐘. Whatever. Focus on how cool this guy looks in his 4-star form, and ignore the weird linguistic stuff]

黒き鉤爪が空を切り裂く。　そして切り裂かれた者はーーー Kuroki kagidazume ga sora o kirisaku. Soshite kirisaka retamono wa Black claws cut through the sky. And then, the people who were thus cut--

ごろつき：　うううう、　うわぁぁぁぁぁっ！　こわいっ！　やめろ！　くるんじゃねぇっ！ Gorotsuki: Uuuu, uwaaaaaaa! Kowaii! Yamero! Kuru-n ja neeee! Thugs: Aaaaahhhhhh! Scary! Stop! Don't come near us!

その場でガタガタと震えだし、　その顔は恐怖で歪む。 Sono bade gatagata to furudashi, sono gao wa kyoufu de yugamu. They trembled in place, their faces twisted in fear.

戦意を喪失しているのは明らかだ。 Sen'i  wo soushitsu shite iru nowa akirakada. It was clear that they had lost their fighting spirit.

リョウタ：　えっ、　なに。。。！？　あの人が。。。　僕たちを助けてくれたの？ Ryouta: Ee, nani...!? Ano hito ga... boku-tachi o tasukete kureta no? Ryouta? Eh, what...!? That person... did they help us?

マリア：　リョウタ様っ、　ご無事ですか？　あの方はいったい。。。 Maria: Ryouta-sama, go-buji desu ka? Ano hou wa ittai... Maria: Sir Ryouta, are you alright? Who is that person...

ブラックサンタ？： ケケケッ。。。　どうだ、　オレ様の「爪」の味はよォ？ Burakku Santa?: Kekeke... dou da, ore-sama no "tsume" no aji wa yo-? Black Santa?:  Kekeke... how is it, the taste of my "claws"?

震えるだろ？　こえぇだろ？　恐怖に泣き叫んだろォ！？ Furueru daro? Koe daro? Kyoufu ni nakisake-n darou!? Does it make you tremble? Huh? You screamed in fear, didn't you?

ブラックサンタ？： だったら誓いな、　悪ガキども。　もう、　悪いコトはしねェっ。。。てな？ Burakku Santa?: Dattara chikaina, aku gakidomo. Mou, warui-koto wa shineee.... te na? Black Santa?: In that case, swear, you evil brats. Say that you're sorry for your bad actions.

[Super uncertain about this one >< Bloody manga-style dialogue. I think he's asking them to swear off doing bad things, but I can't really translate it at a granular level...]

ごろつき：　はい、　しません！　わるいことは、　ぜったいしませぇぇーーーん！ Gorotsuki: Hai, shimasen! Warui-koto wa, zettai shimaseeeeeeeeeeeen! Thugs: Yes, we won't do them! Those bad things, we won't do theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeem!

ごろつき：　だから、　ゆるして！　ゆるしてくださいっ！　つめは。。。　つめはやめてェッ。。。！！ Gorotsuki: Dakara, yurushite! Yurushite kudasai! Tsume wa... tsume wa yameteeeeee...!! Thugs: Based on that, forgive us! Please forgive us! Those claws... please stop your claaaaawas...!!

ブラックサンタ？： よろしい！　わかったなら解散！　とっとと家帰って寝やがれッ！　Go!! Burakku Santa?: Yoroshii! Wakattanara kaisan! Tottoto ie kaette ne yagare! Go!! Black Santa?: Alright! If you understand, then it's over. Get yourselves home and go to bed! Go!!

ごろつき：　はいいっ！　ごめんなさーーーーーーーいっ！ Gorotsuki: Haii! Gomen nasaaaaaaai! Thugs: Yeeess! We're sorrrrrrryyyyyyy!

ごろつき：　おやすみなさーーーーいっ！　良い夢をぉぉぉぉぉーーーーっ！！ Gorotsuki: Oyasumi nasaaaaai! Yoi yume ooooooooo!! Thugs: Good niiiiight! Sweet dreeeeeaaams!!

マリア：　あ、　あの。。。　ありがとうございます。　助けていただき、　感謝の言葉もありません。 Maria: A, ano... arigatou gozaimasu. Tasukete itadaki, kansha no kotobo mo arimasen. Maria: A, ah... thank you so much. There aren't words enough to express our appreciation for your help.

ブラックサンタ？：　。。。　礼には及ばんよ。　オレは、　オレは仕事を為しただけだ。 Burakku Santa?:　... rei niwa oyoban yo. Ore wa, ore ha shigoto o tameshita dake da. Black Santa?:  You don't have to thank me. I was just doing my job.

ブラックサンタ？： それに。。。これはお前達の物だろう？　 Burakku Santa?: Sore ni... kore wa omaetachi no mono darou? Black Santa?: Besides that.... is this yours?

どうたらあの不良達が、　かすめ取っていたようだ。 Doutara ano huryo-tachi ga, kasumetotte ita youda. It seems the bad guys were taking this...

リョウタ：　こ、これって。。。　僕たちのスマホだぁ！　あ、　ありがとうございます！ Ryouta: Ko, korette... boku-tachi no sumaho da. A, Arigatou gozaimasu! Ryouta: Th-This.... it's our smartphones. Th-Thank you so much!

マリア：　あ、　あの、　せめて　お名前を。。。　お教えくださいませんか。 Maria: A, ano, semete onamae o... o-oshie kudasaimsen ka? Maria: A, ah, at least your name... could you please tell me that?

ブラックサンタ？： 名乗るほどの者でもない。　気を付けて帰れよ。 Burakku Santa?: Nanoru hodo no monode mo nai. Ki o tsukete kaera yo. Black Santa?: I'm not someone worth remembering their name. Please take care returning home.

マリア：　なんと素晴らしい御方なのでしょう。　名も告げず、　去っていき。。。　ね、　リョウタ様。 Maria: Nanto subarashii okatana-no deshou. Mei mo tsugezu, satte iki.... ne, Ryouta-sama. Maria: What a remarkable person. Refuses to tell us his name and just leaves... yeah, Sir Ryouta?

リョウタ：　か。。。 Ryouta: Ka... Ryouta: C...

マリア：　どうされました、　リョウタ様！　こんなに震えて。。。　まさかお怪我です！ Maria: Dou saremashita, Ryouta-sama! Konna ni furuete... masaka okega desu! Maria: What's wrong, Sir Ryouta! Your trembling... don't tell me you're injured!

リョウタ：　。。。か Ryouta: ... ka Ryouta: ... c

リョウタ：　かっこいいいいいいいいいっ！！ Ryouta: Kakkoiiiiiiiiiiii!! Ryouta: Coooooooooooooooooooooool!!

マリア：　。。。。。。は？ Maria ...... ha? Maria: ..... wha--?

リョウタ：　だって、　カッコイイと思わない！？　言葉はいらない！　ただただ、　悪い者を懲らしめる！ Ryouta: Datte, kakkoii to omowanai! Kotoba ha iranai! Tadatada, warui-mono o korashimeru! Ryouta: Wasn't that the coolest!? "Words aren't needed. I simply punish evil people"

リョウタ：　いいな、　いいなあーっ！　どこの人なんだろ！　サンタっぽかったけど！ Ryouta: Iina, iinaaa! Doko no hito nan darou! Santa- pokatta kedo Ryouta: So neat, so great! [And I have no idea about the rest, short of mentioning he's a santa]

突然現れ、　チンピラ達を一掃し　言葉少なに去っていった偉丈夫の姿がーーー Totsuzen shire, chinpira-tachi o issoshi kotoba sukuna ni satte itta ijouhu no sugata ga--- The sudden appearance of the fantastic guy who wiped out the punks in one clean sweep, and who left after  just a few words---

リョウタの目には、　敢然と悪に立ち向らう、　英雄のように映ったという。 Ryouta no me niwa, kanzen to aku ni tachi mukairau, eiyu no you ni utsutta to iu To Ryouta's eyes, he looked like hero boldly struggling against evil

[Here it is again. The kanji at the start of the second line 英雄 is "eiyu", which means hero. But the furigana over the kanji is ヒーロー, the katakana for "hiiroo" (hero). So the furigana gives you the same idea, but it's not a literal translation of the kanji, just like the charge skill back on part 59. Housamo plz]

There’s another 60 screenshots after this mid-sequence title slide, so I’ll get to those in the next part, assuming what I posted today isn’t complete trash. Please look forward to it! ^^

[abakadaeda]

on a recent dream about redacted (as always)

madaling sabihing ang mga karanasan sa panaginip parehas lang sa karanasan sa buhay kapag gising. ang pinagkaiba ng panaginip sa waking life ay lahat nangyayari sa loob lang ng utak. ang panaginip ay reality na nilalaman lamang ng mga representasyon. mga talinghaga. halimbawa, kung nakita mo ang isang kaibigan mo sa panaginip, hindi talaga sila yun. representasyon lang yun ng idea mo ng taong nakita mo. in the same way, pag nanaginip akong nabubulok at natatanggal mga ngipin ko, hindi naman talaga siya nangyayari sa totoong buhay kahit na ramdam kong totoo siya. yung emotion, yung feeling, yung itsura totoo, pero representasyon lang. posibleng representasyon siya ng insecurity ko sa ngipin ko at sa takot ko na pumangit itsura ko dahil pangit ngipin ko. i know i think about my teeth more than the average person because i’m insecure about them and those thoughts and feelings about my teeth show up in my dreams a certain way. kaya kong sabihing lahat ng nakikita at naririnig ko sa loob ng panaginip nanggagaling sa akin. isip ko lang yun lahat, wala nang iba.

bawat panaginip may gustong sabihin at may pinaparating sa atin. depende na sa tao kung may makikinig siya at hahanapin niya yung kahulugan. ako personally, madali akong madala ng panaginip. madalas akong managinip at madalas kong pinag-iisipan mga napapanaginipan ko. kaya ko rin to sinusulat. medyo malakas impact sa akin ng mga panaginip, lalo na straight after waking up. may mga panaginip na nagpapasalamat akong panaginip lang at may mga panaginip na sana hindi na lang natapos.

napansin ko bumabalik-balik ako rito palagi kapag kailangan kong maglabas ng thoughts n feelings tungkol kay redacted because i find it awkward to talk about with my close friends who are also redacted‘s close friends like my anxiety tells me maybe theyll think badly of me like oh why havent i moved on or whatever lol i mean dahil minsan yun din iniisip ko for myself but i KNOW i have that’s why sometimes it’s confusing. anyway this is just to maybe make sense of what happened in my dream.

yung panaginip ko nagsimula sa kuwarto ko, ginising ako ni diwa tas kasama niya si job for some reason ahaha and i was like uy da heck bat kayo andito blah blah tas sabi nila na may paparada raw or whatever sa labas mamaya and redacted might be there so i might want to check. so lumabas ako later that evening tas may parang prusisyon of some kind ng mga tibak (at mga mas extreme na tibak if u get my drift yes i do im writing it) tas nakita ko siya sa likod ng isang pickup truck and i remembered thinking she’s so pretty! lmao and i didnt want to interrupt them or whatever gusto ko sanang lowkey lang so i just went a bit closer and hoped she’d notice me but she didnt so lumapit pa ako tas kumausap ng mga tao tas gumawa ako ng excuse para makuha attention niya somehow. humingi ako ng yosi sa ibang tibak and this one guy goes sorry pre la akong yosi eh pero ito try mo! and i was like “ano to, juul??!? ahahaha ayos!” tas nagkunwari akong immersed ako sa conversation but i was half-glancing in her direction just hoping she would look my way. she was smiling and having fun just participating in whatever was happening there tas halatang walang ibang nasa utak niya. i took a hit from the juul while looking at her smiling and laughing and my chest got a bit tight and my breath got a bit short and then i woke up feeling very confused.

but now, after thinking about it and trying to make sense of it all i kinda get what it’s trying to tell me lmao well first of all that wasn’t her, it was my idea of her. she’s going through her life her own way, and it’s fine that i’m not a huge part of it anymore.

i didnt want to get too close and i didnt want to get too excited because i was (and i am) scared that it might seem like i want to be with her that much. but why is that a bad thing? oh because it WAS a bad thing. anyway

hindi ako sure masyado kung ano role ni job at ni diwa sa simula maybe theyre some kind of bridge i dont really know.

FURTHERMORE, natakot ako konti kasi ibig sabihin ba nito may feelings pa ako lol and ive come to the conclusion that no i don have special feelings for her now, which was difficult to figure out because 1) tang inang panaginip yan, and 2) ang dami kong sinulat dito, which means im still invested in some way, right? oo, siyempre. we went through a lot so it’s only normal for me to care about her. but what the dream is telling me is that ngayon, ok na. like i said earlier, we don’t play big roles in each other’s life anymore and that’s completely fine. the fact that we didnt interact at all in the dream illustrates that-- kahit na nabigyan ako ng bitin feeling pagkagising. but i realize yun din kasi nararamdaman ko sa times nagkikita kami irl or kapag nagchachat kami online. it’s like...dito na lang aabot friendship namin haha. which is kinda sad sometimes but also all right in d long run!

now LASTLY and also to reiterate-- her in my dreams is not who she is, but my idea of her and also a representation of what i understand to be....love? but what i think my dreams that look and feel like this one are telling me is to invest myself in new people n new relationships. theyre always reminding me how good it feels and how exciting and nurturing and meaningful loving can be! it’s not the person, it’s the feeling, it’s the memory, it’s my mind unfolding. feels good to finally be making sense of my dreams, and in turn, my feelings...and in turn, myself

[ashesofeternity]

From a distant timeVoices echo in the hall“Come and join usEnter life” andEverything is gone nowAnd through the looking glassI still fear mortality and its loss in the endUnlimited power in my handsThe claw of the dragon ascends(Mourn for his lost soulHe’s cursed and condemned)Each step I takeMay it hurt may it acheLeads me furtherAway from the pastBut as long as I breatheWith each smile on my bleak faceI’m on my way to findBack to the peace of mindAnd from the flamesAs chance would have itThe soulforged will come into lightAnd from the flames as chance would have itThe soulforged,The stainless will riseI will never change my mindI will leave it all behind

Lunar Lament ~ Demons & Wizards

Battlefield ~ Blind Guardian

It cannot be seenBut there’s blood on the greenOnly god knows I’m innocentTake me, take me homeA dark seed reigns in meLike the storm rules over the seaI challenge thee, do not cross this bridge alone

Don’t dare me nowThe threatening shadows will pass byThere’re getting closer nowOpen your eyesWake up my dear young friendAnd hate shall fade awayI will not move, yetI’ll stand still, insteadThere on the battlefield he standsDown on the battlefield he’s lostAnd on the battlefield it endsWar and anger shall reignThe clash of iron can be heardBy blindness you’re driven insaneI’m lost in anguish and griefSorrow won’t wane ‘til you dieA shattered body deeply hurtAnd darkness will cover the lightIt’s gone forevermoreThe field’s been left in sorrowThe father and the sonThey’re goneThe sun shines brightAnd anger risesLorn and lonelyTorn apartDon’t you thinkIt’s time to stop nowWe were charmed and fooled by the old serpent’s kissLet’s prayThat heaven is on our sideThrough violence and horrorShall honour ariseSo let’s prayAnd blessed shall be our leaderWe follow the noble and brightDon’t you hear me cryingCryingCome take me awayI hallow thy nameThere on the battlefield he standsDown on the battlefield he’s lostAnd on the battlefield it endsWar and anger shall reignThe clash of iron can be heardBy blindness you’re driven insaneI’m lost in anguish and griefSorrow won’t wane ‘til you dieA shattered body deeply hurtAnd darkness will cover the lightIt’s gone forevermoreThat’s what minstrel singJoin in the horrible screamsTake part in murderous deedsRenowned be the lion-heartedJoin in the minstrelsyWailing in endless griefIt eagerly longs for moreBroken bodies lay down on the ground

Blood sheds all over the placeThe green will be stained foreverAnd hate reigns all over the fieldThey keep struggling on in angerFiercely intenseOutrageous, too blind to seeAnd in pain they keep on singingWe claim the land for the highlordGod bless the land and our highlord

War and anger shall reignThe clash of iron can be heardBy blindness you’re driven insaneI’m lost in anguish and griefSorrow won’t wane ‘til you dieA shattered body deeply hurtAnd darkness will cover the lightIt’s gone forevermore

🎤 - song i’ll sing out loud

Time Stands Still (At The Iron Hill) ~ Blind Guardian

Light fails at dawnThe moon is goneAnd deadly the night reigns(Deceit)Finally I’ve found myselfIn these landsHorror and madness I’ve seen hereFor what I became a king of the lost?Barren and lifeless the land liesLord of all NoldorA star in the nightAnd a bearer of hopeHe rides into his glorious battle aloneFarewell to the valiant warlordThe Fate of us allLies deep in the darkWhen time stands still at the iron hill

The Fate of us allLies deep in the darkWhen time stands still at the iron hillI stand aloneNo one’s by my sideI’ll dare youCome outYou cowardNow it’s me or youHe gleams like a starAnd the sound of his horn isLike a raging stormProudly the high lordChallenges doom“Lord of Slaves!” he criesSlowly in fearThe dark lord appearsWelcome to my landsYou shall be damned

Lord of all NoldorA star in the nightAnd a bearer of hopeHe rides into his glorious battle aloneFarewell to the valiant warlordThe Fate of us allLies deep in the darkWhen time stands still at the iron hill

The Fate of us allLies deep in the darkWhen time stands still at the iron hill The iron crownedIs getting closerSwings his hammerDown on himLike a thunderstormHe’s crushingDown the Noldor’sProudest kingUnder my footHopeless it seemsYou’ve troubled my dayNow feel the painLord of all NoldorA star in the nightAnd a bearer of hopeHe rides into his glorious battle aloneFarewell to the valiant warlordThe Fate of us allLies deep in the darkWhen time stands still at the iron hill

The Fate of us allLies deep in the darkWhen time stands still at the iron hill 

The Elvenking’s brokenHe stumbles and fallsThe most proud and most valiantHis spirit survivesPraise our kingPraise our kingPraise our kingPraise our king

Take Me Higher ~ Solar Fragment

The death of the Taurus has brought us here Minos has taken revenge We fear to die in exile but I know there is still a chance for us to go above the sea, my son, don’t touch the waves, don’t near the sun Watch out! Watch out! Watch out! Hear my words: follow the clouds! But in his days of levity the boy is not aware at all Father, save me your words come, let us fly like birds and 

Take me higher on wings we are leaving on wings we arise Shore so dire I’m longing for freedom The price for it will soon be payed So the tragic is foretold the wax will melt beneath the burning sun My invention, is it safe? Nature can’t be replicated! The claws of wind, at once they reap the young man falls into the sea My fault!My fault!My fault!

It’s too late but now I see the blaze in the sky would have posed no threat oh, if we had chosen the night instead Take me higher on wings we are leaving on wings we arise Shore so dire I’m longing for freedom The price for it will soon be payed

🌇 - song that inspires me

The Sea Queen of Connaught ~ Cruachan

I tell a tale of a pirate queen,Grace O'Malley was her name.Through her deeds and actions on the seas,She found fortune, respect and fame.Born to a seafaring family and educated well,Salt water in her veins, at sea she would raise hell!She preyed on trading ships, that entered her domain,Before the Nine Years war, she was a British bane!When she was but a child, she cut off all her hair,In defiance of her father who brought her to despair!“You cannot sail my ships with hair that is so long.”“But, father, can’t you see? All my hair is gone.”

[studyingpr]

Hiiiii 

I’m back from my summer break and I was thinking about my lasy year and then I wrote down what have I learn. Hope you find intersting and may help you if you’re a freshman. 

S T U D Y

You gotta study. For real. Not only going to class. You gotta read, make your assignment, do the tests and everything. Only attending to class won’t be enough.

Unfortunately you won’t be studying ONLY what you like. Back in high school we used to think like this, but it’s not true. There will be subjects you won’t like, boring professors and even subjects you hate. But that’s normal and will happen. 

Do NOT procrastinate. I mean it. Don’t let your assignment. When your professor set the due date, I recommend you starting at least 2 weeks before this date. Avoid stress and anxiety attacks because you’re doing your homework the night before.

Read your text books. For God’s sake, do it. Readings are important for finals and so you can understand what your professor is talking about in class. This way you won’t be lost.

Don’t be ashamed to raise your hands. Nobody is watching you or thinking you’ll say something stupid. Don’t think about this. Just ask your question or answer what your professor said. Don’t come back home with that doubt. 

Ask questions, ask your professor, your friends, anyone and don’t get lost on that subject. 

S O C I A L

People are different. Not everyone in college want to study and put effort on their education and you’ll have to understand and live with that.

Group projects may be hard. Mainly in the first semester, when you don’t know anyone, you’ll find the ‘wrong’ people to do your group assignments. People who you didn’t get along or they just won’t do their jobs. Just  try to not stress so much about it and stay away from that person on the next group.

You don’t have to do what everyone is doing. Do it if you’re comfortable with. Just because they are going to the bar it doesn’t mean you gotta go. You’re NOT forced to do anything and there’s no shame in no driking or not going out. You gotta do what’s best for you and the things you like.

Visit libraries. All of them. Find  your favourite one. If you can’t study at home, go out and find libraries, they’re the perfect place. Silence, books, calm and people studying is the perfect match for your studies. And there’s nothing else to do, so you’ll study anyway haha.

Visit others colleges, schools and campus. Be aware of the rules and do some visit to the places you’ve never been to. You can find other people, new places to study and you’re discovering something new.

Make friends. Friends and classmates are important to keep you okay and they’ll make it easy for you to go to the classes.

Your classmates aren’t competitors or enemies, so help out them. Help people is always a good thing and people will help you when you need. There’s no Hunger Games haha.

Discover your college. The programs, the sports, the clubs, extra classes and everything. College is such a great experience, so enjoy 101% of it. 

H E A L T H  and etc

Have fun. In your own way. Study 24/7 won’t be good for you and your mental health, so go out, watch some movies, visit museums, parks, bars, clubs or whatever you want, just close your books for a while.

Weeknds are for… what’s best for you, if you have to study for a test on monday, sorry, but you gotta study. If you study during the week or have night classes, you can rest.

Stay health. Eat fruits, veggies, proteins, carbos and keep yourself stronger for your routine. Drink tons of water and have good nights of sleeping, at least 8 hours. Avoid doing assigments 'till dawn and showing up at class like a zombie.

Keep your life organized. Get yourself a BuJo, agenda, diary, planners, cell phone, a notebook, just find what’s best for you and write it down. Everything. Classes, assignments, tests, finals, etc. This way you’ll have everything together and will be easier to organize your time and life.

Do not quit on your planning method. For years I tried to keep a diary, and 3 months after, I wasn’t using anymore. Last year I started a bullet journal and it’s working SO much for me. Create a habit to look over your notes, even if that requires to set an alarm everyday.

Don’t push yourself to hard. Nobody said you’ll HAVE to do that course. You can always change your mind and find what’s best for you.

If necessary, find help. There’s tons of help/support groups on colleges, if you need, find someone and talk about it. Black people, LGBTQ, refugees you are NOT alone and people will help you.

Be yourself. People will like you as you are, you don’t have to be someone else to be liked. 

PORTUGUÊS (BR)  AQUI:

E S T U D O 

Você precisa estudar. Sério. Não basta só ir as aulas. Você tem que ler os livros, fazer trabalhos, provas.

Você não vai estudar SÓ o que gosta. Lembra da frase do ensino médio? Aquela “você tá estudando o que não gosta agora pra na faculdade só fazer o que gosta”? Mentira. Vão ter matérias que você não vai ter muita afinidade, matérias legais mas com professores chatos e disciplinas que você odeia. Acontece, e é normal. 

Não procrastine. Não deixe as coisas para a última hora. Quando o professor passar um trabalho com uma data bem longe, não se engane, o tempo passa muito rápido. Comece um trabalho pelo menos 2 semanas antes da data de entrega dele. Eu deixei muita coisa pra ultima hora e acabei me estressando, levando minha ansiedade nas alturas e chorando de madrugada morrendo de sono. 

Leia os livros e textos. Pelo amor de Deus, faça isso. Leituras são importantes e fundamentais para uma aula, e para uma prova também. Ninguém merece estar numa aula em que você não entende nada porque não fez a leitura. 

Não tenha medo ou vergonha de levantar a mão. Seja pra perguntar ou responder alguma coisa. Levante sua mão e fale aquilo que tiver de falar. Pode parecer que está todo mundo te olhando ou pensando que você vai dizer alguma coisa estupida, mas não, é tudo coisa da sua cabeça. Tente não voltar pra casa com aquela dúvida. Pode ser importante. Além do que, os professores gostam que a gente tire dúvidas. 

S O C I A L 

As pessoas são diferentes. E você vai ter que aceitar isso. Você pode gostar de estudar e tudo, mas nem todo mundo é assim. 

Você vai escolher as pessoas erradas para fazer trabalho em grupo. Quando você é novo num lugar, você não conhece ninguém, né?  Imagina um monte de gente que não se conhece? Pior ainda. No primeiro semestre, especialmente, Você vai fazer duplas e grupos com pessoas que podem não querer estudar, que queiram deixar tudo pro ultimo segundo, alguém desleixado ou chato. E depois dessa experiência, você vai, no mínimo, não querer fazer mais trabalho com ela. E tá tudo bem, porque você vai descobrir o grupo perfeito pra você depois, conforme for vendo e conversando com as outras pessoas.

Você não precisa fazer tudo o que os outros fazem. Faça aquilo que te faça bem, te faça se sentir seguro. Não é porque tá todo mundo matando aula pra tomar cerveja que você tem que ir atras dele. Você não é obrigada a experimentar nada daquilo que não quer, e não deixe ninguém te dizer o contrário. Não há vergonha alguma em não beber, não gostar de festas ou não sair. Você não precisa mostrar pra ninguém que é legal, a não ser você mesmo. Faça aquilo que TE faça sentir bem. É tudo que vai importar depois.

Vá em bibliotecas. Se você não consegue estudar em casa porque fica vendo sua cama (tão confortável), seu notebook (cheio de séries) ou a televisão, saia de casa e principalmente do seu quarto. Bibliotecas são o lugar perfeito para estudar. Você está cercado de livros, com outras pessoas que estão estudo, está tudo quieto, o clima é muito bom e relaxante. Além de ser o lugar propício, acaba te deixando sem alternativa a não ser estudar.

Visite outros institutos. Ou faculdades, ou campis. Eu não sei se em faculdades particulares pode haver trânsito entre as unidades, mas se sim, faça isso. Se você estuda em uma faculdade pública, você com certeza pode. Então faça. Nos dois casos, vá em bibliotecas diferentes, conheça os lugares diferentes, gente nova, lugares para comer, espaços, laboratórios. Conheça mais da sua escola do que só aquele pequeno local que você estuda.

Se divirta. Do seu modo, claro. Não fique só na faculdade, isso pode encher seu saco uma hora e fazer você detestar aquele lugar, e você ainda vai passar pelo menos mais 3 anos lá. Vá em festas, bares, lanchonetes, cinemas, teatro. Qualquer coisa que você se divirta e deixe os estudos de lado durante um tempo.

Finais de semana são para… aquilo que te servir melhor. Eu não trabalhava, não tinha muito o que fazer e tinha aulas a noite, então meu final de semana era especial para descansar. Durante a semana eu estudava, fazia trabalhos, minha vida girava entorno da faculdade. Mas durante o final de semana, eu nem olhava para livros ou qualquer coisa relacionada a faculdade. Mas se você trabalha, ou tem aula em uma grande parte do dia, você vai ter que acabar estudando um pouco durante o final de semana. Não todo ele, claro. Você vai perceber quando vai precisar abrir mão do descanso. Se você tiver que terminar um trabalho para ser entregue segunda feira, estudar pra prova no mesmo dia e ler um texto, você não vai poder deixar isso pra segunda. Vai ter que fazer durante o sábado ou domingo.

Tenha amigos. Não fique no seu mundo fechado, sem deixar que as pessoas se aproximem ou converse com você. Eu achei que não conseguiria fazer amigos, mas é tudo uma questão de tempo, até você conhecer as pessoas certas para querer passar um bom tempo ao lado delas.

Seus colegas de classe(s) não são concorrentes. Não tente sacanear eles ou impedir alguma coisa. Pelo contrário, ajude-os. Se alguém não sabe a data daquela prova, ou da entrega do trabalho, vá e diga. Ajude, ensine as coisas e seja uma boa pessoa com seus colegas. Ninguém merece estudar em um ambiente chato como se fosse um tipo de jogos vorazes.

 Nem todo mundo tá ali tão focado em estudar. Você provavelmente deve ter estudado com alguém que não gostava muito de estudar, ou que mal aparecia nas aulas ou que não fazia trabalhos. Na faculdade é igual. Vai ter pessoas que serão exatamente assim. Eu me surpreendi até, haha.

Conheça sua faculdade. Dependendo de como for, ela pode ter milhares de coisas que você não conhece. Esportes, torneios, clubes, palestras, eventos, bibliotecas, parques, áreas de lazer! Então pergunte para os veteranos, pesquise na internet, fale com alguém e conheça tudo aquilo que sua faculdade pode te proporcionar. 

S A Ú D E e etc.

Se alimente. Leve um lanchinho na mochila, deixe um em seu armário, mas principalmente, almoce e jante direito. Coma legumes, proteínas, carboidratos, feijão. Você precisa estar pronto pra aguentar o dia-a-dia. 

Tenha uma boa noite de sono. Durma, é importante, pra você e seu organismo também. Tente dormir pelo menos 8h e evite ficar fazendo trabalhos e leituras durante a madrugada e dormir poucas horas.

Organize-se. Arrume um bullet journal, uma agenda, um planner, celular, um caderno qualquer, o que seja, mas anote tudo. Datas de trabalhos, leituras, horários de treinos, horário pra estudo, provas. A faculdade é cheia de coisas e se você não se organizar, vai acabar se perdendo. Teste o melhor jeito pra você e comece a anotar, vai ser muito melhor.

Não abandone sua agenda. Durante anos eu deixava minhas agendas de lado. Sempre gostei de ter, de ir comprar, mas eu acabava largando-as em três, quatro meses depois do início das aulas e descobri o porque. Cada um se adapta a um sistema de organização. Hoje em dia existem milhares de sistemas que você pode testar e adaptar conforme o seu gosto. Crie um hábito de olhá-la todo dia e ao invés de anotar a data da prova no canto do seu caderno, pegue sua agenda e anote lá. Isso ajuda a manter todas as informações mais relevantes em um só lugar. (Eu sempre usei o método da agenda, mas ano passado comecei s usar bullet journal e amei! Foi o melhor sistema pra mim e eu o usei durante todo o ano.) 

Você não precisa fazer esse curso, se não quiser. As vezes, por sermos novos ou não conhecermos muito, escolhemos qualquer curso, só para estar na faculdade. Ou então você pensou que iria ser de um jeito e viu que é muito diferente. Se você nã está gostando das suas aulas, os professores são chatos, você se pergunta porque está ali e se pergunta se esse é realmente o curso certo pra você, provavelmente não é. Você ainda é novo, pode escolher outra coisa! Ninguém disse que aquilo ali é o que você vai fazer pro resto da sua vida! Saia do curso, vá pesquisar, assistir outras aulas e ir atras daquilo que você realmente quer e ser feliz.

Não fique em silêncio. Hoje em dia existem diversos tipos de ajudas, coletivos e grupos que você pode fazer parte. Não aguente nenhum tipo de bullying ou coisas maldosas e sempre procure ajuda.

Seja você mesmo. Você não precisa ser igual a ninguém ou querer fazer tudo que as pessoas fazem só pra ser como elas ou se enturmar. As pessoas vão gostar de você por ser quem você é, do jeitinho que você é.
