Okay so I don't know if anyone really needs or even wants to hear this but I thought I'd put my realization out into the world. So school and learning is fucking hard in a normal year and even harder now and that can be really disheartening. I am currently in my first year of college and I was definitely one of the "smart kids" in highschool. And while in high school I picked up this nasty little habit of every time I did something wrong be it a minor mistake like putting a negative where there's not supposed to be one or something more conceptual I would always say immediately afterwards "wow I'm so stupid." And it wasn't true but I really believed it. I thought I wasn't able to make any mistake.
It wasn't until I said that in front of a teacher after they explained a college level consepts to me again that I really had someone look me in the eyes and say "you're not stupid your learning" and ya it's kinda obvious but it never hit me till then.
So end of the vent here's some advice. That teacher corrected me every time I said that until eventually I started saying that was a stupid mistake rather than I'm so stupid. And now you're going to beat the thing that seems really stupid but it works for me anytime I make a mistake and I want to call myself for the things stupid I never play stupid with silly. It certainly gets me some looks in my chemistry class college when I say it but it makes the mistake fun and non-consequential if it's silly. And man has it improved my ability to learn.
The best way to learn, to really learn is to forgive yourself for your mistakes.
So call your mistake silly and then laugh about it and move on. What's a silly little mistake to the rest of your life?
Hope this helps anyone that reads it.

Send me asks I’m gift wrapping
This is what I love about Greek mythology
Let me explain
1) The goddesses are the ones who do most of the cursing. No seriously, check. Goddesses are kinda petty
2) Hades names his dog a fancy word for Spot
3) Persephone once crushed a woman into a plant for saying that Hades loved her more. Thats why we have mint.
4) Hades is mythologically the most faithful one. He almost cheated a couple of times, but felt really bad and couldn’t do it
5) Aphrodite once flayed a woman alive because people thought she was prettier.
6) Hades kidnapped Persephone because Zues told him to. He literally has zero social or romantic skills, and fingers that big brother Zues, who’s courted hundreds of women would know a thing or two about wooing. Zues told Hades to kidnap Persephone.
7) Hades went to great lengths to make Persephone happy in the underworld. He even created a garden make of jewls for her. But when he realized she wasn’t pleased, he willingly let her go.
8) Artemis help deliver her brother
9) Hestia ate virgins who broke their vows
10) Zues is such a sleezbag, he blamed Aphrodite for all his affairs (with her being the goddess of love and lust and such). She and Hera did not take it well
11) Athena was born in full body armor.
12 ) Demeter tried to kill Zues for allowing Hades to take their daughter.
13) Demeter has a bleeding heart, but also murderd an entire army for trying to cut down a sacred tree grove
14) Hades my be intimidating with his helmet of terror, but Persephone had a man tourterd for all eternity for not taking no for an answer.
15 ) Artemis turned a peeping-tom into deer and lets him get eaten by his own dogs
16 ) Hades is the king of the underworld because he got the short straw.
17) Amphotrite is sometimes described as the sea herself. She’s drowed countless people.
18) Persephone is a proud queen of hell who has no problem with her job
?????? rich people are losing it
I take personal offense when someone refers to Odysseus as "Ulysses"
who says anything needs to be orderly, or make sense,or really anything
