What Just Happened On CNN? Im At Work And So Wasn’t Somewhere I Could Watch

What just happened on CNN? Im at work and so wasn’t somewhere I could watch

Sure I’ll sum up.

So there was a very good peaceful protest by.... Lafayette Park? Right outside the White House. They were chanting, they had multiple reporters in the crowd, it was fucking CHILL, people were waiting for Trump to do a speech in the Rose Garden.

Then, out of nowhere, truly NOWHERE, the cops closed in from three directions and threw gas into the crowd. They used rubber bullets on the crowd IMMEDIATELY. One dude told the reporter “They don’t care about new, move.” They drove out the totally fucking peaceful, pre-curfew protestors.

They moved them all out, and Trump started speaking, and you could hear the fucking gas going off over his speech. CNN fucking did a splitscreen to show the peopple being shoved back as the motherfucker stood up there and said he would protect our rights and would mobilize the military against people.

Then back to the reporters, and everyone was forced further and further away. One woman on a bike told the reporter “They are getting the water cannons ready, you wanna move.”

TURNS OUT.

ALL OF THIS.

WAS BECAUSE TRUMP WANTED A PHOTO OP AT THE CHURCH ACROSS THE STREET. HE WANTED THEM OUT OF THE WAY SO HE COULD STAND WITH A BIBLE IN FRONT OF A CHURCH.

Even CNN is calling him a dictator, at 7PM.

Then the Illinois governor came out and called him a racist, xenophobic, misogynistic failure.

How to get straight A’s in college. Seriously.

Yes, even if you’re taking the maximum credit load. Because if I can do it, you can do it too. Note: My credit load also included a handful of honors courses.

Side-note: I’m going to be a junior (how??) and an RA (!!!) in the fall. Life moves fast. College moves faster. Anyways,

Here are my top tips:

1. LOOK AT THE SYLLABUS AND WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN. This is step number one, and it’s not up for debate. If you do this, there’ll be no surprises, and if there are: point it out to the professor (a simple, ??? this wasn’t on the syllabus ??, usually works). Also, you have to check and see what constitutes as an A in that class. Sometimes it’s a 90, sometimes it’s not. (a 96 was an A- in one of my classes last semester. I’m so serious.)

2. Get a calendar. Not a planner. One of those giant calendars with puppies or something on it and write down everything you have to do for the month. Put it above your desk. This helps A LOT because you can see everything you have coming up for the next few weeks, instead of jus playing it day-by-day.

3. It is OK to use ratemyprofessor. Sometimes it can be really helpful, but pay attention to the more in depth reviews that talk about what the homework, tests, quizzes and projects are like (instead of “her lectures are boring :///)

4. Sit in the front of your class. You’ll be more likely to pay attention and less likely to scroll through instagram. (by the way, mine is @parissdb :) It also grabs your professors attention, so even if you’re shy, they’ll at least know your face.

5. Do that extra credit. A lot of professors offer it in the beginning of the semester, and hardly anyone does it because no one’s thinking past tomorrow. It may be what saves you in the long run.

6. Figure out your best method of note-taking. For me, it’s good ol pen and paper. It helps me remember everything. Some people prefer typing it out. This is beneficial bc it makes it easier for you to find exactly what you’re looking for. (Thank you, command + F)

7. Put your effort into the percentages. If an assignment is worth 1% of your grade, do it well, but don’t exhaust yourself. It’s 1%!!!! If it comes down to it, spend more time studying for that exam that’s worth 30% than the group project worth 20.

8. Please. Stop studying what you already know. We’re all guilty of it. It makes you feel better knowing you have chapters 1-3 down, even if you don’t know 4-7. The key to studying is to learn what you don’t know.

9. Learn how to study. (Yes, it’s actually a skill that has to be learned.) I’m the biggest procrastinator I know, especially when it comes to studying. But I’ve found that studying 2 days before an exam usually does the trick for me. I create a master study guide during day 1 and study it all on day 2. Depending on what time the exam is, I may review on the morning of day 3.

10. SAVE SOME TIME FOR FUN ffs. Seriously. You don’t have to study 24/7, and I don’t know about y’all but my attention span was not built for that.

I might add more to this later, or make another post because I could give these tips for ever and ever. But hopefully this helps someone out there.

The fluffiest damn angel in the garrison, aka Castiel headcanons part 3…

Castiel’s heart, like the heart of any angel, is borrowed and belongs to his vessel. As such, he expressed deep and sincere regret at not being able to freely give his heart over to you when you offered up yours to him. His remorse abated only when you assured him your heart was big enough for both of you to share. Laying his head to your chest, listening to the regular drumming rhythm of your heart as you lazily combed your fingers through his hair, he found ample space for his love between the beats. In that moment he understood the old human adage that home is where the heart is.

Castiel knows how to make your nethers quiver. Point of fact, he was there when the Kama Sutra was being written. At the time he found the text on the nature and pleasure of love rather puzzling – wondering why humans would engage in such seemingly pointless acts of hedonism except for the obvious and necessary purposes of reproduction. His bewilderment rapidly dissipated the first time he elicited a pleasure laden orgasmic moan of his name from your writhing body – the salacious cry vibrating to the very core of his celestial being with resounding clarity.

Castiel would go to the ends of the Earth to make you happy. That hole in the wall bakery three states over with the amazing croissants you’re always going on about? Yeah, he’ll happily spend the night driving there and back simply to bask in the delight of your radiant smile when you untie the neatly wrapped white paperboard box to reveal the unexpected treat. Nothing in the world pleases him more than seeing your soul light up with pure joy.

Castiel’s idea of romance is as classic as it gets. He holds doors open for you. He offers you his jacket when there is a chill in the air. He surprises you with flowers just because. He listens attentively to every word you utter, no matter how mundane, as if it were the most important thing in the world in that particular moment. Date night dinners are an over-the-top candle lit bunker roof-top table for two, replete with a perfectly chilled bottle of bubbly, fresh flowers, and your favorite take-out (you and Cas, with strongly worded input from the Winchesters regarding a certain smoky situation in the bunker kitchen, collectively decided early on in your relationship that cooking was not the angel’s forte). Castiel strives daily to demonstrate how important you are to him.

Even when he can’t be by your side, Castiel is there for you. He leaves you encouraging notes in your overnight duffle praising your strength, on the mirror in the bathroom reminding you of your beauty, in the trunk of your car, wedged between the rock salt rounds and the holy water extolling the notion that you can do anything you set your mind to, even going so far as to secretly tuck handwritten sonnets and professions of love into your clothing pockets for you to randomly discover – all to remind you of his unwavering devotion and your importance.
