For everyone who's sad the Olympics is ending, saying such things as "what will I ever watch now? what will I do, there are no more sports?!" : Watch the Paralympics? Please, watch the Paralympics! It takes place between August 28th and September 8th. Disabled athletes deserve to be hyped up, too!

You should never have shame about your academic journey. It's a journey. You're growing and learning. You're going to face challenges alone for one of the first times in your life. Shit's hard. It's ok to struggle.

I haven't had a pretty journey at all. I'm graduating with a bachelor's degree at 25. I've been in college nonstop since I was 18. I've failed a lot of classes and had to go part time. So many things have happened. But I will have the degree. And that degree is worth the exact same as someone who got it in 3 years. The knowledge I have is mine to keep.

How I got here doesn't matter. I'm here. I am going to graduate in a few months. I have won this chapter of my life. And to those who try to shame me for how I got here and how long it took, I pray that you never experience the things I have that have made it take long. May you live a life of comfort and luxury and have hands soft as silk until you die. And hopefully I will get the same grace from the universe eventually.

hate when people don’t give my personality enough time to defrost like i swear you’ll love me just give me 2 weeks
