↖️ he thought too hard about caduceus and calliope and how they resent each-other for being able to leave home (to save their family, or, now that they're family is saved) but also trust each other the most with those feelings. they care about each other so much and they're angry and hurt and were cruel and love each other and might play a prank and hey do you want some tea? and would you please not tell our mum that i told you how terrified i am? would you promise we'll both protect them all forever?

Me: *still hasn't started my assignment that's due at noon tomorrow*

Spotify: hey did you know there's a concert being held nearby for an artist you like on your birthday next year :)

Me, doesn't even like celebrating my birthday but needs no prompting to be distracted: oh really? Well I need to know more right this second

Hate having a freeze response to stress. What do you mean i just spent 2 hours in bed rn unable to do anything cause i'm too anxious about an email i need to send to my uni secretaries

[alexhasalotofthoughts]

Every time I get a notification I think it is a UCAS email and I start panicking. This is horrible.

I need to find a new Harry Potter fic to read to distract myself from this horror.

Why is email etiquette such a stressful thing? I have to send emails to professors and ask if they would want to potentially supervise me for my thesis, but they gave the students a whole list on how you need to present yourself via email to maintain professionalism and seriousness.

Now, I do think I'm already pretty serious and formal when writing to my professors, but now I'm overthinking everything and I'm stressed out and scared to send an email to anyone asdfghjkl

Top tip: do not transfer universities because it is the biggest headache in the world

[jasminepeak]

One of the biggest things I've learned since starting university is that sometimes, you just have to wait. My anxiety will tell me 'you didn't hear back from the thing you applied to! Did you not get it? Did they forget about you? Should I email them and ask for an update?' And I'll literally worry myself sick thinking about all the unlikely but plausible things that could have happened but at the same time I'm too paralyzed to actually email them because what if that's weird???

And then the next day they respond telling me I got the thing and now I have to frantically delete that now very embarrassing email I almost sent.

Reminding myself to be patient and give things a week or two before slamming my hand down on the big red panic button helps because most of the time, people do respond!! It just feels like it takes forever because waiting sucks and time is just a little silly dance our brain chemicals do when they sense light.

Idk if it's just my uni but like 9.5/10 times I've thought about emailing about something I haven't heard back from, I get a response the next day or two and then I get to do a little happy dance because i didn't have to send an email
