Struggling

I started working on my college applications last month, but I haven't touched them since. I don't manage stress well and my reaction to it is to pop a vyvanse. But vyvanse has gone to shit basically because my tolerance has gone up. It's gotten to the point where it lasts for six hours and I end up feeling drowsy/sedated the last three/four of those hours. I know it means I should get a bigger...

School is taking over my life

I started school on Wednesday and things are starting to feel overwhelming already. Okay, not really, but I'm thinking about all the colleges and all the studying/homework I have to do. I'm starting to regret some of the classes I took.Accounting is boring as hell and it's too disorganized for me. Even with my medication (but I might just have grown tolerant) I still don't understand what the hell...

Senior year and College help

School is starting in four days and I'm not prepared at all. I just don't want to go. And it's my last year (which is exciting because I just can't stand 90% of the people there), but that also means I have to get my shit together. Meaning college and all that stuff.Should I be working on my applications now? And how the hell do I ask for a recommendation? I don't know how to ask for one without...

As Long as you Love Me and Schmelps (again)

After lazing around and doing nothing all month week, I finally decided to put something up. It's not really thought out, because it was a spur of the moment thing, but... drums please... my new story is somewhat inspired by JUSTIN BIEBER's "As long as you love me" or whatever the hell it's called. And this is crazy because 1) I hate that song and 2) I hate that song.And you know that part where...

Procrastination and schmelps feels

I was typing up my whole schmelps feelings, but Mibba started acting up on me. Well that saves you from reading my rambling.But look at them, they're just so adorable! It saddens me that they won't be training together anymore. But hopefully I see her in the next Olympics. I feel like the next Olympics (at least the swimming portion) won't be the same without Michael. There's still Ryan Lochte,...

How do you guys stay motivated?

How does one maintain their motivation to write? I always start a story and I'll get up to maybe three chapters and then I'll go on a really long hiatus and then I just can't write it anymore. I just don't have the motivation to continue. I've been told doing an outline really helps, but my mind is too scrambled to concentrate on organizing.Do you guys have any tips on staying motivated or...

Hiatus and Dark Shadows

I'm going to go on a hiatus for about... a month maybe? Just until I've finished all my projects and research paper. I'm super stressed out about them because it's just not working out. School is really piling sh**t on this marking period, which is really stupid because all we care about is the finals and summer.I'll be popping in here and there, but I won't be updating - not that I've ever been...

Thesis question

I was just wondering if anyone could help me out with forming a thesis? The essay has to be a historical criticism on a chosen text (I chose Oedipus Rex). Basically, it has to be an essay stating how the text was a product of the times it was written.Oedipus Rex was written during the Ancient Greece era, so they believed Gods governed our fate. I can make a thesis out of the latter part of the...

Took my first SAT

I don't know how I did honestly, but... hopefully I did well. I don't know, I felt like I could have done better on the english section. The math section wasn't too bad, but then again I only answered 10 questions per section. I already know I suck at math and no way am I chancing doing more than 10.But I was so unfocused during the entire test because my stomach kept growling and making popping...

Pedophiles + Wattpad

I've always wondered, what exactly is going on in a pedophile's mind? Is it caused by chemicals in the brain? Or is it simply a "they love who they love" sort of thing? Although I am in full support for same sex relationships, this has always been the argument. If these couples can marry, why can't pedophiles if they love who they love as well?For me, it's because it's sick. I just don't see...

Thoughts on Fanfiction

I saw a post on ONTD about fanfiction- mostly pertaining to author's works such as Harry Potter, Twilight, and a few other books I'm not familiar with. But needless to say, from the article, only J.K. Rowling and Stephenie Meyer were okay with fanfiction. Other authors said it was taking away from their livelihood, it was plagirism, etc. You can read the article here.Personally, I feel like...

Randomness + Questions

This is me everytime I read a wonderful Zutara or Taang fic/graphic.I ship everyone in TLA. Zuko/Katara, Zuko/Jin, Zuko/Mai, Toph/Aang, Aang/Katara - but I never touch the Sokka/Suki pairing, they're my favorite :DBut personally I liked Zuko better during the first and second season, even though he wouldn't shut up about honor in the first one. He's too nice for me in the third season.As you know,...

The Legend of Korra/Dooms Day

I know I said I wasn't going to watch the legend of korra until I finished The Avatar: The last airbender. But it was one and I couldn't not watch it. It was pretty good, I mean, I might learn to love them eventually, but I miss Sokka already. And Zuko. And Toph. I don't like Mako as much, and Bolin is okay, but he's not Sokka.I mean, come on, Sokka is awesome!I spent THE WHOLE WEEK WATCHING...

I hate endings

I hate the ending of series. It makes me cry.Does anyone remember X-men: Evolution? The animated series? I think it was the early 2000's... anyway, I loved that show, even when I was a kid I loved it. It was my favorite thing to watch Saturday morning on WB and Saturday or Friday night on Cartoon Network. I never finished it back then, but then I saw it on Hulu and started rewatching it.Oh god, I...

I updated Stuck In The City and it's currently open for a comment swap. It's short, about four chapters long right now, but they're mostly drabble-length. Leave me your story, but I'll probably read only the first four or five chapters. Let me know if you want a certain chapter to be focused on.I also updated my favorite reads list. Feel free to leave your story there, too.---I have a few things...

Motivation and Comment swaps

I have no homework. I basically have a chill day, and I SHOULD study, but I cannot for the life of me, study. Ughh, so basically, what I'm asking is, How does one study? What are some tips for staying motivated? I stare at the book for two-three minutes and attempt to read it, but I just can't concentrate on it. I want to get up and walk around, or I want to do something else. I have so much...
