What is an “instant” death anyway? How long is an instant? Is it one second? Ten? The pain of those seconds must have been awful as her heart burst and her lungs collapsed and there was no air and no blood to her brain and only raw panic. What the hell is instant? Nothing is instant. Instant rice takes five minutes, instant pudding an hour. I doubt that an instant of blinding pain feels particularly instantaneous.

witchcraft and wizardry — study playlists for four magical institutions. what school are you in?
HOGWARTS. clock towers, white honey, handpicked wildflowers. ILVERMORNY. buttercream frosting, softest mittens, snowdrifts. DURMSTRANG. darkroast coffee, pearl buttons, wine-red lipstick. BEAUXBATONS. music boxes, ceramic teacups, lace bellsleeves.
listen here.
People were created to be loved. Things were created to be used. The reason why the world is in chaos is because things are being loved and people are being used.

love this list!
aka: shit to bring when school starts up.
Backpack get one you like, that carries all your stuff. pockets are a bonus.
Pencil Case it is honestly easier than carrying lots of little things that are good to have on hand, many of which are listed below.
Pens get ones you like writing with, be it ballpoint, gel, or fine tip. as a general rule, bring black and blue for writing, and red for revising. feel free to bring a few other colors, but be warned that some teachers don’t want you to use the.
Pencils good for writing anything you think you could easily make a mistake on. use them for math. if you have regular ones, bring a small sharpener. if you use mechanical, bring lead.
highlighters good for annotating or taking notes. jut one or two will work.
usb even if you use google drive, bring one. you might have a weird project that you can’t use drive, or someone might need to borrow it because they forgot theirs.
paper clips sometimes you have papers that need to stay together and there’s no stapler in sight. these guys are nifty.
sticky notes good for annotating and for reminders.
granola bar or a similar small, packaged snack. sometimes you get hungry in class.
hard candy smarties, jolly ranchers, something like that. good for mid-algebra sweet cravings or rewarding yourself for finishing tat bio test.
band-aids people get hurt. keep cool band-aids for yourself or a friend.
pads and tampons i do not care if you have a vagina or not. there’s always that day when you aren’t prepared and it starts, and you have the horrifying realization that you don’t have one. keep well stocked to help yourself or a friend in need. no one will think you’re weird for having a tampon. you might help some poor kid. bring them.
$1 in quarters you never know when someone is going to need extra money, or when the band is going to have a sudden fundraiser selling chocolate
perfume people get smelly. bring a little bottle. pass it around.
hand sanitizer sometimes you touch something gross, simple as that.
hair ties and bobby pins even if you don’t use them, someone else will probably need one.
pain pills keep a dose of tylenol. sudden cramps or headaches can come on at the worst of times, and it’s nice to be able to treat it.
chapstick sometimes your lips get dry and icky, especially in the winter. buy yourself one specifically for school.
cough drops for those times when your throat won’t stop bugging you for no apparent reason. very good for choir members, especially when you’re getting ready for a performance and working your butt off.
ipod it’s good to have something to do on the bus, or in extra time, or art class.
phone/ipod charger even if you don’t use it, chances are, someone else would love to borrow it from you.
earbuds/headphones same as above. but if you’re using your ipod, for god’s sake use headphones. you may love iggy azalea in the middle of history, but those around you might not
water bottle you will get dehydrated during the day. drink lots of water.
notebooks bring one for each class. you may not end up using every single one because some classes don’t require them, but bring extra
folders you can bring one for each class, or have one for homework, or both. find an organization style that works for you.
3 ring binder some teachers require them, and sometimes it helps sort through things.
a book some english teachers want you to have a book for independent reading, and it’s nice to have one if you get bored after finishing work. i like to have one i haven’t started when i go in on the first day.
that’s all i’ve got for you right now! there will be classes that require other things, or they might not. it always depends.
good luck! if you have any questions, feel free to ask!
