How do you redecorate without breaking your fragile bank account??
I love this question! Everything on this list is under $30, and most of it can be purchased from the safety of your dorm room couch.
1. Plants: Plants are my personal favorite decor (apart from Xmas lights). They’re inexpensive and look great in any location. If watering a plant every day doesn’t work for your schedule, get a cactus! I water my cacti twice a week.
2. Xmas Lights: I try to distance myself from people who say that Xmas lights are just “seasonal”. I have three different strands of lights up all year long, one in each room and one on my outdoor balcony. These lights are perfect for parties, romantic evenings, etc.
3. Candles/Incense: Dorm room or apartment landlord permitting, candles and incense really help an apartment feel more homey. They also help stave off the smell of your cat’s litter box, which is always a plus.
4. Posters: Posters aren’t as expensive as you think they are, but poster frames are ridiculously expensive. And you can’t buy the cheap ones, they fall apart instantly- you have to buy the $40 ones. My advice to you, buy posters and hang them up carefully with pushpins or tape.
5. Clocks: Buy a cool clock off Society6 or RedBubble for $25. It’s my belief that the right clock can help brighten up an otherwise dull-looking room. I bought my boyfriend this Bob’s Burgers clock for his birthday last year.
6. Shower: You don’t need to use the low-grade weak shower head that came with your bathroom. You can buy color changing shower heads and spa quality shower heads on Amazon for $25. Go forth! Always keep your old shower head somewhere safe, and put it back on when you’re ready to move out. There are lots of great and truly unique shower curtains out there on the internet, but they’re expensive. You’re better off buying one from Target or Walmart.
7. Night lights: I am the sort of person who always needs to pee at 3am. I have always used night lights in my bathroom and kitchen because they’re so much better than blundering around in the dark. Similar to the Xmas lights, they help create that “mood”. I have these cute little lava lamp night lights.
8. Glow in the dark stars: Just trust me on this.
9. Chalkboard paint: Dorm room or apartment landlord permitting, chalkboard paint can help turn your room into a perpetual canvas. A friend of mine from college did this to his incredibly small room, and it looked so good.
10. Beaded curtain: Beaded curtains help make small spaces appear larger. We have a beaded curtain hanging in our hallway currently, and it’s great. You don’t need a super expensive one that was handmade by the indigenous people of wherever. Just a simple one to put in a doorway or hang on the wall to change your space.

It is past midnight. Not even the moon showed itself in the sky ,the heavy clouds were refraining her from doing so. It rained all week long. It was really a mood to restart something as important as school on such a dreary and monotone tone. Even the odds were agaist me being happy in the place I despise the most. Well, seems like today will be a day like any other. I better go to sleep, it is still past midnight and the moon ans stars are still up there, far away hidden from my longing gaze...
I mean, does it really exist such a pure and powerful love in real life?
i intend to remember you before the darkened sky departs. the moon, who’d stayed for a time, has reached you. may it brighten this night.

Jason Todd inner dialog boxes I have a slight obsession with
Hello, hello, hello...
You can hear my voice but are you really listening to what I am saying?
When you look at me, what do you see?
You see an illusion or the truth beneath?
I m not lazy, it became just too much
I m beginning to lose control over everything in my life
I've made a mistake early in my life
Now I'm paying the price
Twice as much....
I know sometimes we try to learn a language through these fancy programs and games, but here are some other activities and ideas if you feel like you're stuck
Use a dictionary. Not an online one, a paper copy. The bigger the better. It helps you think of the grammar (e.g. conjugations) so it's not just available at the touch of a screen. (if you really can't find a word in the dictionary, thencheck online).
Read books and articles and look up and write down every word you don't know. Then, when you've looked up the words, read over it again, checking your new vocab list when you come across the words you don't know. You can make these words into flashcards, but you don't have to. Eventually, you'll have a pretty solid base on common words because of this.
Translate with only your dictionary and your brain. Similar to number one, but treat the translating like an exercise. If you're translating into your target language (or even into your native language) get a native speaker to check it over.
As for what you should translate, go for passages of articles and books, or songs. Preferably what you like or find interesting, but go for some slightly boring stuff as well for variety.
Drill verb conjugations with flashcards, especially irregulars.
Listen to music in the language and sing along to the lyrics. This really helps if the writing system is different to your native language's, but it also helps reading speed regardless. The more words you know, the faster you'll become, usually.
Hajoonnnnn♡ Hope that you like it. 2019 vs 2021. A long way to come and still a long way ahead for me as a/an ( fan) artist
Even if everything is history now
And it all remains just a distant memory
The scars would still be present in my life
Rooted deep inside my mind, my soul
They still plague my dreams and keep me up at night
Even hearing your name make me wanna wish
Demons were just stories to scare out the kids
Face tutorial for Anon!
I wasn’t sure whether you meant heads or facial expressions, so here’s a very basic head tutorial! Of course not all faces are the same so proportions and the size of ears/eyes/noses etc. can vary! Feel free to explore and play with them to create unique and interesting characters! I hope this is somewhat helpful, and let me know if you’d like a tutorial on expressions as well!
