As I get older I’m starting to let go of the guilty urge to build permanent habits. Like, a while ago I decided I would start jumping rope every day. I did it for like three weeks and felt good about it. Then I got bored, because of course I did, because I’m a human person. So now I do a bit of kickboxing because that’s what I like now. The other week I cut all sugar from my diet, just for a week, to challenge myself. Now I’m back to eating sweets but I don’t crave them as much.
Growth is about stretching, trying new things, and setting small, realistic goals for yourself, not picking a “good habit” you’ve decided you will be doing always and forever from now on. That’s not discipline. That’s pointless self-torture and unhealthy resistance to change.
What’s good for you today will not necessarily be what’s good for you tomorrow.

Hi there! I'm putting this post out because I'm a full-time student unable to gain employment here due to our university preventing me from getting a job (under risk of expulsion).
I live in South Asia (Pakistan) and the area I live in has been getting pretty worse with regards to queer people.
I'm pretty sure I'm at risk of getting outed at my university department because of certain questions targeted at me recently by a supervisor who thinks that people like us should be put to death.
I'm a PharmD candidate and I'm hoping to apply to UofT, UWaterloo, and two more places (probably Saskatchewan so I can stay with my cousin). If I get accepted, I'm getting out of here by May-June and hopefully will be in a safer place.
If I can even apply for one or two, that's more than enough! I'd appreciate it so much!!
I'm not the best at art, but I wouldn't mind doing some silly little commissions if you'd like, and I also take writing commissions (details to come). I also have a Redbubble shop that'll go live soon. Until then, please support me!
Here's my: p*yp*l
You can also buy me a coffee!

Hi. My parents have made their monetary support for me contingent on whether I get into pharmacy school in Canada. I myself am attending pharmacy school in Pakistan.
They are not helping me pay application fees and I have no disposable income because we can get expelled/suspended for working. It's not legal but no one exactly cares here.
I posted this on my other account but got little to no traction.
I am trying to raise money to pay for the fees, here's a breakdown: it's $125 CAD for USask (or $88 USD), $215 for Uwaterloo, and $250 for UofT. If I get more than this, I'll apply to one or two others as well.
I'm hoping for USask so I can bunk with someone I know there.
Here's my:
i wish the stigma of going to community college wasn’t so big. it’s seen as a “lesser” option, when ALL learning is valuable, no matter where you get it from. it’s also a wonderful stepping off point for people who have been very burnt out by high school and want a smaller college and less pressure about acceptance, allowing them to have an extra year or two to decide on a four year college OR just staying at community college
if you’re going to community college this fall (like me), i hope you’re not too hard on yourself. you’re making the decision that’s best for you, and that’s what matters
Hello! Apologies if this question has been asked before. Is there any way to get a job curating/storing/classifying/cleaning/whatever artifacts without getting a degree? I don’t know much about archaeology but sitting in a back room dusting off pottery shards and sticking them in labeled baggies sounds awesome, honestly I’d far rather do that than do field work anyway lol.
You could try to volunteer, but I don't know how much luck you have. One of the hardest things to do is "get your foot in the door" and being a student is one of the best ways to do that. I very forcefully shoved my foot in the door by seeking out internships with two of the archaeology professors at my university. They already knew me and knew what I was capable of, so they let me work with them. I don't know if the same opportunity would be given to someone they didn't know, and who doesn't have any background education.
I hate to say this because I really do think that archaeology is for everyone, but without any sort of archaeology education I don't think that you could get a paying job doing lab work. There are to many trained archaeologists looking for positions, and not enough job openings, so it doesn't really make sense to hire someone who has no prior knowledge and no credentials.
See if your state (if you're in the US) has an Archaeology Day. It's usually at a State museum, and a lot of different archaeology groups will be there with tables about their programs. This is probably the best place to inquire about any sort of lab work volunteering.
