A JOURNEY OF SELF DISCOVERY

As I stepped onto campus, a mix of emotions swirled inside me. Excitement for the new chapter ahead, nervousness about the unknown, and a hint of sadness leaving the familiarity of my previous home and school routine behind. Starting college marked a significant milestone for me, a transition from adolescence to adulthood and from living with family, to living with strangers.

The first few days were a whirlwind of orientation, meeting new faces, and navigating the huge campus. I felt like a small fish in a vast ocean, struggling to find my footing. But as classes began, something shifted. I discovered a sense of purpose in the lecture halls, a hunger to learn and grow and though it was no easy feat, I made up my mind to push through.

Late-night conversations with dormmates turned into debates about life, death, and everything in between. Lecturers challenged our minds weekly, pushing us to question assumptions and explore new perspectives. The campus came alive ever so often, with cultural events, club meetings, and spontaneous adventures. The numerous hall parties, sports days, faculty events and symposiums that were held taught me how to manage my time wisely. To hear the sound of bass from music afar off and still dedicate to stay glued to my little work station chair and study for upcoming tests.

My cooking skills gleaned from my dear mother, somewhat saved me from the dreads of being fast food dependent. I became what was known as the "hall chef", because it was said that my cooking reminded them of home.

Starting college was a journey of self-discovery, a chance to redefine myself beyond high school labels and expectations. I embraced new passions, forged lifelong friendships, and developed a sense of resilience. Those early days of uncertainty gave way to a sense of belonging, a realization that I was exactly where I was meant to be.

Looking back, starting college was a pivotal moment in my life, a threshold to a world of possibilities. It taught me to embrace the unknown, trust myself, and chase my dreams with courage and determination.

Sexypink - Incredibly excited to announce this call for submissions as part of a collaboration between The Cutlass Magazine and the Institute for Gender and Development Studies at The University of the West Indies in St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago alongside Senior Lecturer Dr. Gabrielle Hosein. This project is seeking photos and videos of the plants, fruits, and vegetables brought by indentured labourers in their jahajin and jahaji bandals (bundles) as they now are situated, nurtured, living, and growing in the Caribbean and Caribbean-descended people’s homes, backyards, agricultural gardens and travel routes in the region and its diaspora. We all know about the deep connection between our Indo-Caribbean community and the land that we were brought to nurture. The impact our people have had on the landscape and topography of the West Indies is incredible and this initiative will serve as a visual journal to illuminate these influences. Please use the provided links on the flyer for more technical information about the submissions and important deadlines. Also do not hesitate to reach out to me and/or Dr. Hosein with questions. It will be very much appreciated if you all could forward this to individuals you know who might be able to participate. This project is in honour of Professor Brinsley Samaroo, the prolific Indo-Trinidadian academic and historian who passed away this year and was fascinated by cultural landscapes.

Inquiries (please address to both Harrichan and Hosein):

Zaga Dat ! The future of African Music

A few weeks ago I was asked to make a presentation at a meeting of the African Caribbean Students Association at the University of the West Indies, Mona on Afrobeat/s and Dancehall. I welcomed the opportunity to explore some issues and ideas around the popularity of Afrobeat/s and I wanted to discuss the connections between Afrobeat/s and Dancehall. I opened the session by taking song suggestions…

[unusualwhatsits]

I love you, your takes are phenomenal, do you perchance have any favorite byler head cannons you would like to share?

Thank you lovely!! I love you too!! That's so sweet <3 tbh I usually think about them more in a college setting, or sometimes right out of college at whatever job they're doing. I have a lot of fun fantasizing about what their life could be like in the future, so these are made more with that setting in mind, but I'm sure some could be taken as present time situations!

I'm back-hugger!Mike's #1 fan, so a few of those to start: When it's cold out Mike will walk behind Will and wrap his arms around him to stick his hands in his pockets to get warm/keep Will's hands warm, forcing them to waddle along instead of actually getting out of the cold weather.

When they sit on the couch Will's sitting in front of Mike, back against his chest, and Mike's got his hands down the collar of his shirt, other hand up the bottom of his sweatshirt, legs wrapped around his waist, feet resting in Will's lap, just cuddling the absolute hell out of him

When they're at the grocery store they BOTH push the cart because Will's there to get shit done and Mike can't help but loom over him and cuddle up to "help" him push

I think they both develop a need for glasses eventually. Artist/writers who don't need glasses are performing witchcraft imo I think Mike probably needs glasses in general and just refuses to wear them most of the time. If he's super sleepy he might pop them on to read at night. Whereas Will probably is farsighted and chooses to wear them when painting to make sure it comes out correct, but otherwise also ignores them. Will's probably the "squinting at the ingredients label" kinda guy. You know the one. Mike's the, "I JUST had them!!" glasses lost on the top of his head kind of guy. You know that one too, I'm sure.

Mike's a heavy sleeper, Will's a light sleeper. Mike's a starfish, for sure. I think Mike's the big spoon most of the time, except when he's starfishing, then either Will is laying flat on his back, an arm and a leg from Mike draped over him, or he's just starfished right on top of Mike lmao If Mike's on his back obvs Will is cuddled up to his side. Will's the blanket hog. Mike's a furnace when he sleeps. It evens out.

Once they start saying "I love you" they say it no less than 100 times a day that's a fact and I take no criticism

Sometimes their date nights are just them getting chocolate wasted and having a movie marathon. So the usual hangout day, but now they get to make out lmao

I like the hc where Will learns how to braid hair from El, and he braids Mike's hair. Short or long, it's just something to fiddle with, and be creative with, and I think it'd make Mike absolutely melt to be doted on like that, plus it feels nice.

Will's art is everywhere, covering the walls, the counters/tables with framed pieces, paints + pens + sketchbooks absolutely litter the house. He makes random stuff to decorate for Halloween/Christmas etc. like wreaths and garland and helps El make kitschy trinkets figurines to decorate her apartment with! Mike's writing is also everywhere, papers pinned to bulletin boards, books stacked next to his desk, work briefcase overflowing. No less than three draws open in his filing cabinet at any one time, half of the folders pulled out and scattered on the floor/on top of the cabinet.

They definitely make a comic together. Whether that comic gets published or not is up in the air, but they definitely at least make it

Mike prefers to listen to his music with headphones on, even though Will sneaks up on him from behind and startles him 99% of the times he wears them. Will prefers to listen to his record player. They get noise complaints in their apartment and Mike sneakily slips outside without Will knowing to kindly tell them to kick rocks <3 His boy needs his rock and roll time.

Neither one of them knows how to cook, but they have the spirit! Usually results in burnt food and takeout from the local deli or fast food joint, but that's ok too.

I love the idea of Will having a pierced earlobe, and Mike getting some kind of cartilage piercing. That one might just be my bias to Mike's lil ear tips peaking out of his hair. Idk it's just precious to me and I think it would suit him. A little rebellious but nothing too crazy. His mom would still probably have a fit, though.

Every time they go to sit down somewhere Mike does the pulling a chair closer with his foot thing like Patrick does to Art in Challengers

Mike often wears a layer extra than he needs during the winter because Will insists he's "not even cold!!" as a just in case thing (almost always needed <3) "Can I have your jacket?" "Sure <33" "I'm not cold >:| you just look hot" 'Thank you ;)" "Not what I meant... but accurate." ":0 <33"

Anyway, that was way more than I intended and just super random thoughts but whatever lmao Thanks for letting me talk about the boys! :D
