ive lived in this state my entire life and today i found out alabama has its own groundhog day called possum day where they get a possum from the wild and name it sand mountain sam and make it predict the weather
yo im doing homework and i had a sappy thought so im sharing it with u guys
i know a lot of you are really young. Like, you’re in high school or middle school or maybe younger or older or whatever
and like
there’s gonna be stuff you suck at. stuff you can’t do. stuff you literally always get wrong no matter how many times u go over the steps. maybe you’ve got something hindering ur learning or maybe you don’t, or maybe you do and don’t recognize it.
it can feel like the end of the world sometimes. when your trying so damn hard and you keep pulling 45′s or 30′s and maybe you can scrape up a fifty.
i literally cannot do basic trigonometry. it’s entirely beyond me. this is stuff you learn in eighth grade. im an adult and i can’t do it at all. but i can paint. im in university for political science. my brother is in university for maths and he could not read a polisci paper to save his life, let alone do a paper on it. i know a person going into biological sciences who cant tie her own shoelaces.
i have friends going into trades who never graduated high school. i have friends who graduated and took a gap year and are now going back to high school to upgrade because they’re not ready to move on yet. i have a friend who almost died of an eating disorder and is going to school for makeup, her dream career.
all of us are success stories in our own way. we’re maybe not all the way there yet, but we’re working on it. We’re going places. and we’ve all fucking failed.
if you’re failing at something right now, please know i’m proud of you. you aren’t a failure. you’re gonna go places. no matter how stuck you are, you’re gonna keep going and you’re gonna do great
keep on walking my friends <3
Gonna reblog this for everyone struggling.
One, two, three, a dozen failures or more will not ruin you.
You are stronger than them.
I believe in all of you. 💙
Gonna reblog this because I, personally, am struggling.
Also reblogging for anyone else who needs this, I love you all!
also reblogging for anyone else who needs this i love you all ^Haiku^bot^8. I detect haikus with 5-7-5 format. Sometimes I make mistakes.
my thesis involves this principle! in fluids, viscosity (the thickness/stickiness of the fluid) and inertia (the tendency of something to stay in motion when a force is exerted) are in competition. glycerin is incredibly viscous, so the viscosity beats the inertia and the dye doesn’t shift beyond where it is immediately pushed–so exerting an equal and opposite force on the dye just puts it back to its exactly original position.
I googled “how many eggs are too many” because I’m struggling to keep up with the output from my beloved hens, and after some searching I found a story about a guy in the late 19th century who decided - “without medical advice” - to live on nothing but eggs
