[mademoisellehypergamy]

This may be along letter but I have to share it with you qnd I know that U can help me and you will do ur best 🤍

First thing, Im going and Ive gone through alots of spiritual change, mental and just personality change like alots ... and the thing is now is time for me to let go of things and discover new things, for example fangirl life, twitter idk kpop, those common interests but in the same time idk how or what shall I do, Im here to take some of your advice since u are such an inspiring woman to me.

+ As I grow up, Im the youngest child in family and the only girl, my family, my bros made me like I cant do anything right, My opinions are always wrong and I just cant live on my own, so I end up  being too scared to see new things or take any decision cuz maybe " its wrong " " who said is right " idk is just too unsure and scared that I cant do it, and Im always wrong even in the little things like " i like apple " they made me feel like a fool, childish for liking it ... or even in the small things they alwqys make fun of me smh, and Im very sensitive too. So if u have any advice on how u became the person u are or if u can share with me u know ur tips ur daily life becuz I really want to learn from and U always inspired me.

Also in the feminine side, my mom was never interested in these things cuz she is naturally feminine and pretty ... so if u have any tips share it with me darling 🤍 ( like how to generally take care of my body / washing, vagina / im also so hairy so it makes me feel a bit insecured too )

I hope if u can share with us alots of ur wisdom and thoughts and everything and pls advice me how to grow from this circle and end it to be a powerful women 💖

Note: Im 18 yo

Hi love,

Awww, reading your message reminded me of my younger sister 🥰 I’m sorry it took so long to reply back to your message. I hope this will help you. In the future I will make a more detailed post about hygiene, but this will help you get started.

🌸 Mademoiselle Hypergamy’s Basic Hygiene Tips 🌸

🌸 Shower Daily. You may have to shower more depending on how active you are, the climate you’re in, and how much you sweat.

Your shower routine should include:

- Washing your ENTIRE body. Your feet/in between your toes, behind your ears, your buttocks, everything! - Use soap. Alright, this sounds silly, but when I was in college I had a roommate who never showered with soap. Please use soap. Use it with a loofah/washcloth/silicone bath brush/etc.

🌸Incorporate Dry Brushing. Do this prior to showering on dry skin. This will help prevent cellulite and keep your skin smooth and firm as you age.

🌸Wash Your Vagina. Do not put soap in the vagina! You can use a gentle cleanser/pH balanced feminine wash (I recommend Rael Natural, vH Essentials, Organyc) on the exterior vaginal area. Never use soap inside the vagina, just water! Click here to watch a video to see the actual motions. *The video isn’t graphic, but I wouldn’t recommend watching it in public lol*  

🌸 Remove Body Hair. Shaving is probably the most accessible way to remove body hair at 18. If you are able to, I would recommend waxing or sugaring (especially if you want to remove pubic hair). Eventually, I’d recommend laser hair removal because it REALLY makes a difference! Be consistent about removing underarm hair if you struggle with body odor.

- Use body scrubs prior to shaving to prevent in-grown hairs and “strawberry legs”.  - Always shave with a fresh razor.

🌸Use Rich Creams After Showers/Baths. Always use thick, luxurious creams on your skin to keep it hydrated!

🌸 Wash Your Hair When Needed. Washing your hair every day is not good! Wash it when it’s very oily/dirty. Invest in quality products. Always use conditioner. 

🌸 Deodorant. Use it! There’s a variety on the market to choose from :) 

Some other just general tips I have to take care of your body: - Work out. Even if it’s just walking. Aim to do this 3x a week. - Drink. Water. I can’t stress this enough! - Use sunscreen. Everyday. You’ll thank me later. - Sleep; Unless you are a student studying for an important exam, there is no reason you should be staying up every night.  - Maintain your hands and feet. Make sure your nails are clean. Make sure your skin is hydrated. 

As for your family, it’s important to keep in mind that although they matter, at the end of the day you came into this world alone and you will leave alone. You must be able to rely on yourself, and that begins with trusting yourself. If you continue to let them influence you, you will never be able to achieve your full potential. 

They may have filled you with doubt, but I promise you that trusting yourself is the best decision. Sure, you can listen to their input, but your choices at the end of the day is the most important. Start by making small decisions for yourself (who you’ll hang out with, what hobbies you’ll pursue), and when you see that the decision ended up positive, it’ll be easier to trust yourself.

As for myself, I became the way I am by deciding that I was going to live life on my terms. Just like when someone decides to be a lawyer, they go to college, take the LSAT, then law school. I made that decision, and began to live my life accordingly. ❤️ 

The only thing you must do is decide to be hypergamous, and then make a plan. Level up. Be smart. Be financially and mentally secure. Don’t settle. Only date men who align with your vision. Realize almost everyone around you can help you get from point A to point Z. 

You also never have to give up your interests (like Kpop). If you enjoy it and it doesn’t hurt anyone, keep it. Just add some hobbies/interests :)

Good luck!

UPDATE

28.01.21

i haven’t been active on social media as well as tumblr but im rather focusing on my glowup as well as studying. I successfully cleared my foundation level exam past week but that’s not my main goal. i am preparing for law entrance LSAT exam for India which will be in June . I use netflix series (that too just kdeama’s) as a source of entertainment. It was a lousy day today . I tried to rush things so much that I fell behind but you know what its okay. ITS OKAY TO TAKE A BREAK. I’ve joined this amazing community of The GLOW UP DIARIES by Alivia Andrea

and have been doing Lilly Sabri Workout challenges. THEY ARE FREAKING AMAZING .

Also , I finally have no one to talk to. It might get lonely sometimes but ITS LIFE . not everyone is going to stay with you forever.

anyways , i ll  try to keep you guys updated.

[jimlingss]

1/hiya~ well, i like talking to u so my brain kinda notes ur answers to my msgs and brings them up next time i write u something. oh, so playing dnd is a club activity! my friend likes to play dnd & when she went to university she became acquainted with some classmates who play as well, so these days their friend group meet up from time to time to play. so i thought it was like that for u too, when u mentioned it before. uff, lsat sounds like a hard challenge. when will u take it?

Anonymous said:2/ btw why do u want to go to a law school? (u mentioned once that u wanted to study law so u can write the best crime book in the future. totally can relate) lol Kina. i kinda admire ur work ethic cuz mine is somewhat shitty. mostly because when i do things that make me enthusiastic i cant. freaking. stop. once i missed a meet up with my friend cuz i got stuck in lab finishing some work & didnt want to leave until im done sigh,,,add some perfectionism to it

3/ & there goes my unhealthy habit of often pulling all-nighters, cuz its the only time of day i can work normally. my scientific advisor once jokingly suggested to move to the western hemisphere so my biological clock can match everyone else’s lol. well, im glad 2019 was full of accomplishments for u! it was quite eventful for me too & i wonder what 2020 will bring. anw, ill be rooting for u (hope u wont get tired of my msgs abt random stuff lol)! lets reach greater heights this year! - chem

D&D at my university is a club that meets up like once every few months but I mainly play with a campaign that they grouped me in, if that makes any sense. It’s pretty fun so I suggest people check it out if they’re interested.

I plan to take my LSAT in June/July but that’s depending on how my studying goes. There’s a few more months before then so I have time. And there’s a lot of reasons why I would like to go to law school, most of which I don’t think people would care about but it boils down to family and $$ and just cause I can’t think of anything else that would realistically suit me.

Anyways, I get a lot of comments on my work ethic irl and when I talk about it online. I am the opposite of a procrastinator - at most I might procrastinate for hours, but never days. I don’t recommend being me tho cause while I do manage to concentrate and focus well, I’m pretty sure I have some unhealthy, workaholic habits. I’m not much of a perfectionist either - I tend to work as an means to an end as well. All I can suggest for NOT procrastinating though is making a daily to-do list and sticking to it. It’s not fun but you feel satisfied when you go to bed

(kinda sorta) SEMI-HIATUS!

Alright, so I had a feeling I’d be making this post. Before I go into it, I just want to preface everything with this: I WILL STILL BE HERE AND SOMEWHAT ACTIVE. However, my activity will be limited. I also may be on IMs or Discord less, so I ask for your patience. 

Anyway, into the reason I’m making this. 

As most of you know, because I have mentioned it quite a few times, I am taking the LSAT for the first time tomorrow, on July 15th. I have already registered for my second LSAT, which is on September 23rd. That is the LSAT that is really the most important, even though they both are. However, I have not experienced a true LSAT testing environment (I have, however, taken a prep course) and the July 15th LSAT is kind of like an official diagnostic and my starting point for the 10-week crunch that lies ahead of me. 

I’ve found a pretty strict study plan that requires 2-3 hours of studying per day, which -- though draining -- will hopefully raise my score significantly. I’m going into my first LSAT with a goal of at least a 150, but I know I can do way better than that with the proper prep, so on September 23rd, I will be aiming for, well, Elle Woods. 

I’m going to try to be here as much as I can, but I often can find myself being very distracted on Tumblr, and minutes turn into hours and suddenly I have lost a whole day to scrolling and shit-posting. Because I’m a mess, we know this.

There is an upside to this hiatus, though, because when I do come on here, I will be very drafts-oriented, as I will surely need a creative outlet after studying for so hard and so long on top of my job (and eventually my senior year of college). 

You will definitely see me as the most active here, though I am going to keep up with @ironaed to the best of my ability as well. 

I thank you again for your love and support. Quentin is hands down my favorite blog I have ever had on here (and I’ve had many). I am not abandoning him or you guys. I’ll just be a little quieter than usual. This has already kinda started to happen, because I’ve been studying more often recently anyway. I apologize to the people who have been waiting to hear back from me. I’m stressed, frazzled, and trying my best. 

Roleplaying means the world to me, and I am not going anywhere anytime soon. That’s a promise. I love you all so much! 

TL;DR - I have 10 weeks until my next LSAT (September 23rd) and a strict and intensive study regimen to follow until I get there. Expect less frequent / heavy activity from me IC and OOC until that’s over. 

[hobidreams]

hi there!! are you in uni at the moment? im really not sure if you’ve ever answered that, im only asking because I start uni in about two weeks and I’m NERVOUS. I was wondering if you had any advice? if this is too personal you don’t have to answer it at all I understand. but thank you! :) ps LOVED the second chapter to the yoongi story can’t wait for the third

hii love. yes i am!!  OF COURSE i am happy to give advice! this is more general advice, but if you want to give me a few more details about your situation (housing/faculty/etc), i can give more specific tips!! pls do keep in mind i’m in Canada and in Arts so my experiences may be different depending on where you are! feel free to send in another ask if i didn’t answer a question you had :)))

this got so long, hence the cut! sorry mobile users if it doesn’t show up.

GO TO OFFICE HOURS

i know everyone says this but it is SO important. i have to write a lot of papers & every professor has a different way of marking. i usually ask them to look over an early draft of my introduction/thesis to make sure i’m going in the right direction. this has resulted in at least going up half a letter grade, if not a full one!

you also get to know the professor better, in case you need them in the future for a recommendation letter or help with something.

it’s also a good opportunity to ask any questions you may have about upcoming homework, etc. profs will often drop hints about what they’re looking for!

DO YOUR READINGS

seriously. some people will swear you don’t need to read anything, but i find that i can only write papers by picking out niche moments in the text. many textbooks for science courses are very useful & it’s great if you can take notes on the material before time! or even skimming it will put you in better shape for the lecture.

LEARN HOW TO COOK

university campus food is SO EXPENSIVE. i spent so much time on campus my first year & i spent like $15-20 a day on food (2 meals). learning to cook is not only better for your health, but waaay better for your wallet. curry is really great for meal prepping on the weekends.

FIGURE OUT POTENTIAL PATHS

are you interested in grad school in the future? you may have requirements you need to take. please don’t think you need to decide on anything right now!! but if you have any vague idea at all, it’s a good idea to take a look at what you need to get in IF you decide to go that way. you don’t want to be in fourth year & realize you need to stay an extra year bc you didn’t take this one super specific class.

ex. i want to go to law school, so in first year, i looked up the average admittance GPA of unis in Canada + figured out my schedule for when i need to take the LSAT. that helped shape my plan for uni!

GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE

i know. it’s so hard. i’m the worst at making friends but i make an effort to talk to at least one person in every class. this is important not only if you get sick/miss lecture & need notes, but also because you could potentially make some great friends!

join clubs. it’s a great way to meet new people & maybe learn a fun activity while doing it! your uni will likely offer a clubs day. this will really enrich your university experience!!

LET YOURSELF FAIL

you’re going to fail/do poorly in some things. it’s inevitable, since you’re doing something new. give yourself time to grieve over a bad mark, but then move on. look at how you can improve (doing more practice tests? studying this particular area?)! one fail is not the end of the world. even a failed course isn’t the end. you can always try again.

a lot of my friends failed because of poor studying habits carried over from high school. don’t be this person. uni is HARD and requires a lot of work.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH/MANAGE YOUR TIME

if you get sick, you will be out for WEEKS. & while sometimes it’s unavoidable to pull an all-nighter, don’t think you can get away with doing it all the time. the work you put out during those hours won’t be the best anyways, so it’s not worth it. make sure to plan your time out as best as you can.

i find for writing papers, i do it best in small chunks over several days so i always start early. others like to dedicate a whole day to writing it without breaks. just don’t leave it until the last minute & find what works for you!

mental health is also really important. i believe most unis have accomodations for mental health & if you have a pre-existing condition (like ADHD, etc), make sure to reach out to them so they can get you things like extra time on exams, etc.

but in general, do things that make you happy! you don’t need to spend every minute studying, even if it is before a big test. tbh, i find that relaxing for a few hours the night before a final helps me retain information better than if i was cramming.

ENJOY YOURSELF

i’m not going to lie, it’s going to be a hard several years. but school is not the end all be all. so, if you want to go to a party instead of studying, well, do it. have fun. live your life!! of course, you want to keep a good balance between your fun / school, but please enjoy yourself!!!!

[innocent-scarf]

currently studying for the LSAT and im making sure to give myself a lot breaks which basically consist of shuffling all taylor’s music and dancing / screaming ridiculously. Its been an excellent coping mechanism for an otherwise stressful and painful activity. 

[loveyakusoku]

jen is gone - semi-hiatus notice

hey y’all, I’m sure you noticed my more than often no activity, and unfortunately its going to continue that way for two months more or less. I am once again hunkering down to study for the LSAT and its already kicking my ass. so, from now on I’ll be queuing replies and other things. if you want to unfollow I totally understand tbh im not even that great, but i know some people got a thing about inactive blogs and whatever. the easiest way to reach me now is prolly discord during my work hours (even then) and when i decide to procrastinate (like now). please always feel free to talk to me or leave me messages. thanks anyways for your endless patience and understanding, and I’ll be here when I can (and prolly when this stupid anime has me fucked up). 

[nittasupremacy]

it’s like i always come here when my life is in shambles, why do i cope to my chaotic life through tumblr?

anyways my life is in shambles.

i absolutely feel like i am losing control of myself.

since graduating college with my bachelors degree back in may, i moved back home to my parents house.

after my graduation ceremony, that following monday i started my first full time big girl job as a paralegal. in other words, i was clearing out my college apartment, preparing for graduation, taking finals, moving out and preparing for a new job all at once.

since that mess of my life has happened it’s about to be one month of being home.

i started the month off pretty well, i knew i had to look for a car and once i got a car i would be officially focused completely on my job, LSAT prep, and going to the gym consistently. i wanted that to be my life. and then, i got into a car accident while driving my mom’s car. granted, it wasn’t my fault and luckily won’t have to pay out of my pocket, it was still traumatizing! i was so angry and i felt like i was in a complete disarray, it’s been about one week since the accident. it also urged me to purchase a car which i will be picking up tomorrow. but since the accident i havent taken care of myself properly, barely doing my skin care routine, barely taking care of my body, haven’t gone to the gym since it’s happened…especially cause i had been so active since graduating.

i just feel like i’m in such a disarray. i pick up my car tomorrow tho, so i’m hoping i can finally start my life with my very own mode of transportation! not having to rely on other people is my favorite life relief, i hate being a disturbance.

now my schedule won’t rely on my moms availability for her car and such. i can genuinely create a study system for myself geared to promote as much focus and discipline as possible. like library times, rotating coffee shops and such. i’m excited for my journey living back at home, spending time with my family for the next year before leaving for law school.

and im excited to take my LSATs this october.

i hope tomorrow brings better news.

[imtheblankspace]

You should be more active on here. I feel like Taylor notices you but you are not as popular or relevant as the other blog just cause you are less active and aren't interacting with everyone as much

lololol “Not as relevant” literally my life lmfao… I’m going to try to point some things out by using this anon as an excuse because some things do have to be brought up.

Anyways as far as interacting with others goes, I try to stay on here as much as possible and reply to people and tags and stuff but it gets overwhelming. I have a job at school, I’m finishing a 5 year college program in 4, taking 20 credits this semester, and studying for my CPA exams and LSATs on top of everything else. I am by far going to put my career right now as my #1 focus because I am trying to get into the Top 14 Law Programs in the country. I think everyone on here forgets that some of us have really really busy lives and it is hard to stay active. I love the entire fandom and have great friends in real life that I made from being  on here so it’s much easier for me to talk to someone if they message me directly.

Im not like trying to bitch but I think a lot of people forget that even Taylor herself is so busy and she can’t juggle being on here for 10 hours a day sometimes. I’ve seen this become a problem in this era where people are putting their entire lives into meeting Taylor and that’s fine but you also have to remember that the second you meet her and walk out, you’re on your own and theres a life to live that you are not building up. If Taylor notices me that is fine and if she doesn’t that is fine, but you shouldn’t be putting all of your effort into just meeting her because it will take an emotional and mental toll on you and at one point it did take a toll on me but I have since come around.

I love you all and just want everyone to remember that even though meeting Taylor is an amazing achievement so is getting an amazing job, working out, having a hobby, and enjoying your life in the moment. Don’t forget what your guys’ true purpose is

[katierosefun]

lsat anon here, coming off of anon bc I grew a backbone I guess (im never sure how sending stuff like that is gonna go over lol) but also bc you really are genuinely one of my favorite fic writers and I really admire your work ethic as well, I’ve tried to write fic before but I get burned out after like a paragraph, I can’t imagine writing so much while in school and studying for the lsat of all things. And actually I only deleted/abandoned my ff.net account like maybe a year ago because I realized you were on ao3 and I literally only still had it active so I would get author updates lmao. glad to see you working hard and all that jazz and I hope everything goes well :)

AAAAAAAH hello!!!! thank you so much again for the very kind words, because they really brightened up my night!! i hope everything is well for you too!!! :’)))

[sapphicwocsafespace]

im also in the process of filling up the queue cos i realised neither of us has been very active here lately and i apologise for that! jai is busy and im working full time + studying for the lsat so im busy too. hope you guys are doing great <3 

- max
