last year during my undergrad senior year, when my dad died, my two jobs both expected me to come to work the following day???? and i DID??? because i didnt want them to be mad at me. MY DAD HADNT EVEN BEEN DEAD FOR A FULLY 24 HOURS WHEN I CLOCKED
Thinking about when my foster care parents told me at 4 years old that I would end up dead by 18 or a drug addict/in jail like my bio parents. I GRADUATE undergrad in TWO weeks with a double-major and HONORS and I am FULLY FUNDED for an excellent GRAD SCHOOL!! Breaking the cycle.

the most interesting thing about foxface is that within the books and movie, she is not presented as a warrior but as a scavenger. There are tributes who focus solely on survival skills rather than fighting, because of HOW much survival skills determine your outcome in the games.

I have friends with Rex tattoos… I feel so bad for them….. , I can just Unadd his songs that are on my playlists, I can’t UNADD him from my skin !!!
@TheThomason
oh god. everytime i do something because everyone else wants to this is literally how i imagine it ending up. this is what i needed to be like, yeahhh maybe i should set better boundaries and say no!
Saw someone say, “Foster care is still a better option than abortion.” My dude, I was literally sexually and physically abused, locked in rooms without food or water for days, and told that I would be better off dead for years while in the foster care system.

@evilratperson
Exactly! And her death, which appears to be suicide-especially within the book, signals how far she was in the game. in the top five??? based purely off survival skills??? incredible.
@tyler02020202
Stop calling me out like this !!! Literally have to continually remind myself that my professors aren’t my replacements for a childhood filled with failed parenting !!!
@pengvvins
omg thank you! <333 it all worked out! the moral of the story, make sure you take the time you need! these jobs dont care about us, i would rather had to of found new jobs in hindsight than cut back on my grief period!!!!!
First off, i literally sob every time I look at photos from HS. Secondly, imagine being a fully grown adult telling students (especially from poverty and traumatic backgrounds who wanted to break the cycle of their trauma) that they would never do anything with their lives.

Definitely steal from places like Walmart and target (if it’s a chain it’s fair game!!) but definitely wouldn’t want to make y’all’s jobs even harder i promise !!!
i need a shirt that says “yes i am a history graduate student, no that doesn’t mean i know every minuscule detail of global history from the last 50 million years.”
@zedonarrival
yeah if my univeristy wasn’t paying for me to do both my masters and phd, i wouldn’t be here. it makes little sense to pay for these degrees, i have people recommend to only pursue them if the university funds you or else its a waste.
@unrealhozier
YES!!! like besties, he has been producing music, Tell it to my heart, Swan upon Leda, and Blood Upon the Snow. ??? and those were INCREDIBLE
@Elisociety
@xaviersonline
YES THIS!!! it is so sad, and sometimes scary the secual intrusive thoughts i can get and its like, NO I DON’T WANT THAT, but WHY can’t i stop thinking it!!!???
oh my god. most of life really is about the little things. a nice playlist, trying a new recipe that turns out well, a poem that hits home, spontaneous messages, buying that thing you’ve been eyeing for a while, a warm bed. yeah. im so grateful for the little enjoyments
@hondacrvthe3rd
i went through a situationship ‘breakup’ (he got an actual gf) a few months ago and i lost 16 pounds and went on a ‘grippy sock vacay’ as a result. i wouldnt wish that sh*t on my worst enemy !!!!!!!!! 🫣🫣🫣
@jilltalbot
This is incredible to hear. I almost got engaged during undergrad, but it didn’t work out because of my desire to pursue higher education. He asked a very similar question. This gives me a lot of encouragement. And I start my PhD program in three weeks!!!!
@TheGreatKatee
I graded the assignments for the course I TA, at 2 am on a Friday night, and I was thinking how these kids are going to be like, “our TA must have such a boring life.”
explaining to other graduate students that my entire life doesn’t just revolve around my studies, research, and being “professional” 24/7!!! i can, in fact, have passions like being annoying on twitter, listening to music, and wearing cute outfits!!!
Just paid my first and last installment for my apartment in NY !!!!?????!!!!!!! I’m so broke now but I officially will have a place to live!!! And I move in less than 55 days!!!!

@megabethbob
i agree! so many people explicitly say that they perfer the polish and style of the last three movies, but i think the first hunger games movies capture the rawness/vulnerability / brutality the best
@llmunro
THANK YOU FOR THIS! I always found it beyond strange when I would mention to my adoptive family or friends my desire of knowing more about my biological family and being met with statements such as “it’s not worth it, just be content now, etc.”
after almost 7 weeks of living in my depression room, i finally had the energy to DEEP clean it today after therapy and classes. i scrubbed the walls, washed my sheets &my HUGE pile of dirty clothes, disinfected&wiped down my bathroom, reorganized every thing, vacuumed, etc.
