How To Get Work Done When You’re 0.5 Seconds Away From Ending It All: A No-Nonsense Guide To School When You Feel Like Death
Important points are bolded for my fellow exhausted students. I see you and I’m with you.
1. I know people have said otherwise, but studying from your bed is okay. I know how it feels to not want to get up. Sometimes sitting up in bed is the most you can do. I’ve found that getting dressed helps me feel a little more into it, but don’t go out of your way to do it if it’ll kill your vibe or make you uncomfy.
2. Honestly, if you’re not going to school, you probably shouldn’t be getting up before 8 or 9. There’s a fuckton of studies that show that that’s around when your brain actually wakes the hell up and is ready to take on the day. Don’t force yourself to get up at the asscrack of dawn if you can avoid it.
3. I’m probably gonna get shit for this, but it’s okay to skip class sometimes. Just make sure that you know what you need to do make up for it, have someone that can send you the notes, whatever.
4. For the love of god, eat. I don’t care if you have a full breakfast, a bowl of cereal, or the junk food you have stashed in your room, or five saltines, just fucking eat so you can have something in your stomach. Just take my word for it.
5. You know what’s trying to get you to be productive at all times? Capitalism. You know what also sucks major ass? Capitalism. Don’t buy into it. Take breaks and take them often. If you need to tap out, do it, and anyone who disses you for it can suck it.
6. Fuck the “no zero days” mentality. If you need a day to recharge, or you’re just having a really shitty day, don’t feel pressured to be “productive”. If you feel like absolute hell, the most productive thing you can do is give yourself time to feel better. Please, please take my word for it.
7. I know you feel miserable. I do too. But if push comes to shove and you’ve got deadlines coming up and you’re not ready, sometimes it all comes down to just sucking it up and getting it over with. However! It doesn’t necessarily have to be top quality material. Why? Because a 50 or a 60 is still way fucking better than a zero.
1. Slader has answers for hundreds of textbooks across lots of subjects. Your book might not always be there, but if you’re lucky, it might save you a fuckton of time on that homework. It’s a blessing. Just make sure you actually read over the answers so that you at least kinda understand them.
2. SparkNotes and Shmoop. For the love of god, don’t just use one or the other. Use both. Shmoop gives easy, casual, quick-to-remember plot summaries, and SparkNotes gives good analysis so you look like you actually know what you’re talking about.
3. Try to have at least one person you can lean on in every class. Whether it’s to get help on homework or to vent about how much the class is killing you, I swear, it helps so much. If you can make a groupchat with people, the more the merrier.
4. There’s probably someone willing to just give you the homework answers, no questions asked. Most people get it. People understand when you’re tired and not into it. If there’s a class you’re good in and you can help them out as well, then it’s even better, because there’s a give-and-take.
5. If you have time during or in between classes, try to get a little homework done. I know the minute I get home, my motivation to do anything school-related drops 644747457%. Try to get a little done while you’re in the groove. Future you will fall to their knees in gratitude.
6. Find a comfort item you can bring to school with you. Doesn’t matter what it is. Bonus points if you can wear it or if it fits in your pocket. Pick something that makes you feel a little better whenever you look at it or hold it. I wear jewelry dedicated to my gods, but it can really be anything.
7. I know people say that grades are just a number, and they really are, but if you’re like me and still stress over them anyways, for whatever reason, it’s okay. Just remember that someday in the future, there will be a time when that shitty grade will not matter and will never matter again. You’ll get to move on with your life, and no one will care that you failed some class or some test or whatever.
8. If someone is giving you hell for not liking or not being good at a certain class, tell them to fuck off and move on with your life.
I hope this post can help people like me who are this close to rock bottom but still need to muddle through. Please know that this too shall pass. Please stay alive today. Know that if any of you ever need anyone to talk to, I’m right here.

“I have an announcement to make,” Tony said, getting up from his chair and shushing everyone around him. He was situated at one head of the table, and some of the avengers noticed the empty spot to his left, but didn’t question it. “Tonight is a very special Avengers Family Dinner™, since we have a new member joining us. Underoos, please come out of wherever you’re hiding, please.”
When Mr. Stark finished his sentence, Peter did a backflip off the ceiling where he was hiding, and landed behind Tony, making a few people jump. His mentor smiled and stepped to the side, pushing the teenager in front for everybody to see.
He was a bit intimidated by the amount of eyes on him, but he still needed to introduce himself. He swallowed hard and started talking.
“Um… Hi, everyone. I’m Peter Parker, but you might know me as Spider-man.”
or
peter is invited to the avengers family dinner, which is pretty eventful, to say the least.

Andre even made an ice cream flavor for Marinette and Kagami. Marinette didn’t even flinch at that. It’s basically canon
In case any of you had any doubts, Marinette is big phat ass Disaster Bi.
i wish there was a name for a kind of song that’s catchy, upbeat, and worth dancing to, but also bittersweet and tinged with an unexplainable sadness.
the best i can describe it is ‘songs you would put in an amv when a long series is over and you’re reminiscing on the journey while holding back sobs’
Sam: hey there Spider-Man, didn’t realise you were such an annoying little arachnid.
