Olay just saw your Texas post. I'm from minnesota and I applied and got into baylor? With a 80000 scholarship??? This is good or bad??? I know baylor is a good school by reputation but I've only ever heard old white men talk about it being good which makes me distrust it soooo much. Advice? Thoughts?

Bro you got an $80000 scholarship to Baylor???? That’s fucken impressive!!! You go anon!!!

Baylor is a private school that’s probably why you only hear old people talk about it but it’s a really good school especially if you are going like pre-med or something super smart like that. I know people from high school that go there and love it. One of my teammates transferred from Baylor and she loved it there but she’s a pre-vet major and Baylor isn’t a big ag school. I’ve heard it’s pretty similar to UT (in terms of classes and diversity and student life) only private. From like a cultural standpoint though Baylor is in Waco which is kind of a weird city. It’s not big but it’s not small. It’s blowing up a bit from the Fixer Upper family and their Magnolia Farms brand (I’ve heard mixed reviews about their brand if you’re curious about them lmaoo) so it might be kind of a culture shock if you’re used to a big city. It’s not far from Dallas if you like the big city scene. I fucking hate Dallas but that’s because I’m from Austin lol. Minnesota is very different from Texas in terms of like people and stuff we do here so it might take some time to get used to. I’m from the Austin area so I’m used to big city life and I go to college in a much smaller town than Waco and a much smaller school than Baylor and it’s not scary or bad. There’s a group for everyone. If you’re and incoming freshman or even if you’re a transfer the easiest way to settle in and be comfortable is find a club or organization to join that fits you’re interests. I joined the equestrian team at my college my freshman semester and I literally can’t imagine my college life without it. I’ve made so many friends and connections that I wouldnt have never made if I didn’t join. I’m also in the geology club but they’re not as fun and pretty weird lmaoo but that’s just geology people for you.

So my advise is if you don’t get a scholarship like that ($80000 is like the best Baylor could give Im so impressed anon) closer to home, and you’re not super attached to Minnesota and willing to understand Texas culture (it’s insane compared to the rest of the US) GO TO BAYLOR. A degree from them will look amazing. And my general college advice no matter where you go is to join a club/organization and find that group of friends and really enjoy college life. Being in a org will get you off campus and socializing with people and doing things you might not have done on your own.

Persona 5 Equestrian!AU

 it’s the dreaded Horse Phase™™ I have some ideas under the cut if anyone’s interested

Some terms for those who don’t know Stallion - male horse  Gelding - male horse who’s had the snip Mare - female horse grey = white (in terms of coat colors) Eventing - cross country on horseback (I did it for a long time it’s pretty hectic) paddock name - the informal name of a horse used outside of competition or in general conversation. The elaborate names are a makeup of the sire (dad) and dam (mum) names for their offspring tack - the bridle and saddle

Akira

all rounder, great a show jumping & eventing

dates Yusuke

Lives with stable master, Sojiro

Horse: ‘Arsene Lupin, Joker extraordinaire’

black thoroughbred stallion

paddock name: joker

herd leader, rather relaxed temperament 

Ryuji

former jockey turned barrel racer, sometimes events with Akira

dates haru

Started horseriding as a correctional method but now really enjoys it

A cowboy

Horse: ‘The Skull of Captain Kidd’

Buckskin quarter horse gelding

paddock name: skull or kidd

has a bit of a limp like his owner but it’s nothing serious

mischievous af 

Morgana is the barn cat who gets on well with a miniature pony named ‘zoro’ (this horse is a such a shit) 

Ann

prize-winning dressage champion

dates makoto

also models equestrian gear

Horse: ‘Carmen’s Panther’

palomino Swedish warmblood mare

Also models tack

Sassy bitch

Yusuke

Dressage & show jumper

also paints lots of horses (he went through the horse phase)

dates akira

Horse: ‘Goemon’s fox’

grey ‘white’ arabian stallion

paddock name: ‘fox’

rather stubborn

Makoto

allrounder, loves eventing (GOTTA GO FAST)

dates Ann

father was a mounted policeman, aspires to do that later

Horse: ‘Queen Johanna II’

Cleveland Bay mare

paddock name: Queen

SUPER FAST GIVES SKULL A RUN FOR HIS MONEY

a bit skittish

From the same dam as Sae’s horse

Futaba

stable girl (does pony club & junior comps that aren’t as serious as the rest)

Horse: ‘Necronomicon’

tri-paint pony mare

paddock name: oracle (orry?)

Very fast learner

decent allrounder, gets on with Joker

Haru

prized dressage champion & show jumper

dates Ryuji

pays for literally everything & anything everyone is so spoilt

like everyone else here, never got out of the horse phase

typical rich girl with a horse (but not a cunt)

Horse: ‘Milady de Noir’

Chestnut andalusian mare

this horse is literally worth over 10k its pedigree is fucken royalty)

Paddock name: noir

the sweetest mofo ever anyone can ride her she’s so calm

will be a great dam

General Ideas 

Everyone’s riding uniforms includes a coloured accent from the games text message background (ie Ann’s cravat for dressage is pink. Also everyone looks so hot in their uniforms)  The saddle blankets are also the same colour (ie Queen’s saddle blanket is dark blue)

Akira moves in with Sojiro Sakura, who owns a fair bit of land and equestrian centre with his adoptive daughter, Futaba, and their pet cat, Morgana

Upon arriving, Akira is put to work doing basic stable hand stuff under Sojiros eye, and meets Joker, a stallion that hasn’t been put to work for some time since the original owner abandoned him

Sojiro offers to coach Akira in the basics of riding, while Morgana and Zoro watch. He gets a bit more confident riding Joker and starts to take him out alone on trail rides

Morgana sits on Zoro’s back when out riding

Akira meets Ryuji and Ann, who moved their horses to aggist with Sojiro since he is a lot cheaper than other places

Ryuji is a former jockey who had an accident, so he’s now a barrel racer

Ann is a dressage and showjumper, but is also a model for equestrian clothing

The three get along and start to share their mutual dislike towards society, they go on trail rides together (with morgana and zoro tagging along.)

Ryuji hates his old coach, Kamoshida, for abusing him and horses, and Ann hates him for constantly hitting on her

Yusuke and Makoto move their horses in and get to know everyone

Yusuke is a freelance artist who spends his time drawing horses as well as being a show jumper/dressager

Makoto is an all-rounder whos training to become a mounted policeman

Yusuke and Akira hit it off, as do Ann and Makoto ‘,:)

The horses start a herd, and then a pony comes along, no one knows who it belongs to until Sojiro tells them he has a daughter who owns it

Futaba doesn’t do pony club and junior comps anymore since her mother passed away, so Sojiro wonders if the group could get her back into riding

Futaba also loves to dress up the horses and Ann is On Board™ with that

Haru shows up with the most perfect horse anyone has ever seen like wtf

Escaped her fiance, Ryuji offers comfort (they become a thingo)

Do I dare include the trash man? He could be a lit rival though

Shido used to own Joker but abandoned him because he wasn’t good enough

Akechi’s horse - Robin Hood (paddock name: Crow) a grey thoroughbred stallion
