There’s your science for the day. Go try it out for yourself!
*UPDATED* in the final picture of the original post, I made the mistake of saying “light as a particle” - I should have repeated the initial description (which is now fixed): the effect is from light passing through a single slit and diffracting, which is more accurate to what is being observed, because each bulb is a “point-source of light.” While the general scientific consensus is that light does indeed have particle properties, this single slit experiment is not a true depictor of those properties. While fewer photons do indeed get through, diffraction still (faintly) occurs between the lines. It’s the double slit experiment where things get REALLY weird, though.
They can flip off this country all they want considering the fact it was theirs first.
I was tagged by @crumpetofcuriosity !!! Thank you!!!
List 10 goals you have for the next 10 years, write it down or save it somewhere you can find it again, then tag 10 people.
To be happy with where I am. Hardly anyone knows if where they are is the right place, I want to understand that.
Be confident!!! I have come so far and have loved to watch my confidence grow. I can’t wait to see where it has gotten to in 10 years.
To be working hard. As long as I am showing some serious effort, I can be satisfied.
To still be learning Latin, because truth is, I am nowhere near where I want to be. Hopefully, ten years is a good time span to improve…
To befriend more people!!! I have made so many new people in the past few months and it has made me such a better person. I want to continue.
To read more. I have just started reading more and finding time to read, so I hope I continue that.
To make changes where changes are necessary. A lot of people don’t quite believe in quitting, but I think sometimes quitting is healthy. Sometimes, we give things our all, but they are doing us more harm than good. Some changes are necessary.
To take risks!! Some risks are good and can teach us important lessons. Risks don’t have to always be scary and huge. Some are beneficial.
To laugh at myself more. I take things wayyy too seriously and I hope to change that.
To stop procrastinating. I have literally had this in my drafts foorreevveerr, so I hope to get things done when I can, rather than just when I feel like it.
I can’t think of ten people to tag, but I encourage everyone to try this out! It really helps to put things in perspective, even though ten years seems like a really long time.

As a student, it’s so important to love yourself because if you don’t it’s going to translate into sacrificing your wellbeing for grades and not being able to cope with failure because you let it define you. So I’m telling you now, grades do not determine your worth as a person. If you can convince yourself that you are worthy and valuable as an individual, you’ll find your journey so much less stressful.
It’s that time of the year again! This is a long post that’s gonna get very reblogged, so I’ll keep it short.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
Follow me! (duh)
Likes and reblogs count as entries, but they’re limited to FIVE REBLOGS PER DAY. (I WILL check)
You must be at least 18 years old, no exceptions. The prizes can be transferred to minors, however, with the permission of a parent or guardian.
Side blogs are allowed to enter, and there’s no need to tag your main (here’s to you, closeted witches!) but if you end up winning, you’ll have to tell me your main when I contact you to see if you’re following me! GIVEAWAY BLOGS AREN’T ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE.
People who have purchased/purchase my services from my shop (as well as those in the waiting list) have an extra entry as a thank you for your support!
Do NOT tag this as giveaway!
There will be five prizes. Each will be drawn as I hit a new milestone. Fifth place when I reach 6,000 followers, fourth for the 7,000, third for the 8,000, and both the second and first for the 10,000.
The winners will be randomly selected with random.org and contacted via PM, comment, and/or tag, depending on how long they take to respond. If they don’t answer to reclaim their prize within 120 hours (5 days) of being drawn, a new winner will be selected in their place. So please make sure I have a way of contacting you.
For the main two prizes, I’ll need an address I can ship the goodies to. If you can’t/don’t want to receive the package and wish to trade your prize for an intangible one, that’s perfectly doable!
