Before we get to the yap session, can you guys please get me to 1,500 followers before August 20? That's my birthday and I think it would be really awesome if we get to that amount of followers on my birthday. But anyways, enjoy the yap session! So as far as a lot of us know, school is starting soon. Either on August or September...for the majority of us. If you're already starting school *AHEM* some of the people I know here-, then I feel bad for you. But regardless, I would prefer if you would listen to my little pep talk. Because listen, I know it's going to be hard. And I know you're gonna stress a lot over homework...and group projects...and whatever else you do. Extra outside school activities. Extracurriculars. But trust me, you are going to alright. I don't really understand or even know the slightest of your real life situations. But something that helped me personally is that uhh, school is a temporary thing in our lives. And maybe you can make it one of the most extraordinary years you can live through. Surely it's not perfect. No year could ever be perfect. But- I think the way that school forms lives for some people is...kinda interesting. As time goes on, school doesn't really become mainly for education. It's a lot of work honestly. Schools all over the world treat it differently, but regardless if you're starting 4th grade or graduating college next year...There's always moments in between that can actually become valuable memories. Joining clubs, participating school events, having friends in general. If you're not the person to socialize, you can create your own projects separately. You can always uhh- I don't know. I'm sure there's many ways that you can enjoy your personal time whenever you have a little break in school. Don't forget to actually get your work done on time. Please. Sometimes when I look back on a school year that I didn't really like living through, I actually realize how good it was. And maybe some of you guys can understand that idea too. Even if the school years aren't really your best right now, I know there's some better years up ahead. You just gotta keep going!..You are going to be okay. Be excited to meet your friends. To reach opportunities. You have a lot! Okay so I've been yapping for a while now, you can leave or you can stay to listen to some of my...slightly different school tips. I'm gonna make this kinda quick because I don't want the transcript to get too long...so uhhh- (RANDOM SCHOOL ADVICE) GO MORE OUTSIDE MORE. I'm serious. Sometimes, if you do your homework outside, it instantly boosts your energy. I don't know if that's just me, but it GENUINELY works. Join a lot of fandoms. I'm really obsessed with Cuphead (well duh, look at this project), but I try to to collect a few interests every now and then to keep my excitement going for certain things. And to further educate myself in certain topics I didn't really care about at first. And I highly suggest you pick ones that you actually wanna join and that you think are good for yourself. Now, I'm neurotypical so my experience with interests are different than people who are neurodivergent so just keep that in mind. Just take care of yourself. I don't think I need to explain that one. Add small and I mean- SMALL references to your homework sometimes. I'll like quote The Cuphead Show in my essay or something like that for example. Document the year in some way, whenever that's a sketchbook or a journal. Or like- literally anything goes. Dress in a way that makes you happy, as long as it is in dress code, because sometimes it REALLY can boost confidence in yourself. And of course, try to stay happy in dark situations. My gosh, I did not mean to make seven tips...okay- Anyways, that's my big yap about school- I guess. And I really hope that you guys find some sort of uhh- value to this. But overall, thank you so much. And I really hope this school year for many people go well. And yeah, this transcript is gonna get super long, my goodness- =========================================== credits: - voice + project "interest"/The Cuphead Show - images c418: Sweden - song Piero Piccioni: Mexican Dream - song (both are edited by me!!) please check more of my yap sessions here!:
