There have been some requests for the octopus umbrella as a print. Prim and proper ladies from the future, no doubt. As I am a gentleman octopus, I have made this possible.
I can personally send away a print measuring 10 x 8 inches, with a white border filling up the 11 x 8.5 paper. It will be on glossy premium photo paper by Kodak, so it's good stuff. (see images)
Price:
$15.00 (print only)
$30.00 (framed and matted. I only have 3 frames available though)
Frame dimensions:
15 ¾" x 11 ¾" (40x30 cm) Viewable image within that is 9 ½" x 7 ½" (24 x 19cm) (see images)
Shipping: Priority Mail USPS:
$6.00 (print only)
$16.00 (framed)
If you live around South Pasadena, CA, then we can meet up for some boba tea, and waive shipping charges. Except you buy me tea. >_>
Larger prints are available in my zazzle store. I set up a 20 x 10 for those interested.

«У каждого есть и будет свое мнение на этот счет, но единственное, что остается сделать, – это принять».
Hey it’s your girl Kat and I’m here with a post on prepping for AP exams! Having taken my fair share of AP tests (you can see them on my about page if you want help in a certain subject or are just curious), I’ve learned a couple things that have really helped me to be prepared and ready to knock out that test.
TEST TIPS
Come up with a study plan. I usually start reviewing for the test mid-March or early April so I’ll have ample time to go over everything. If you can afford to get a prep book like Barrons or Princeton Review, use the chapter outlines in the table of contents to figure out how to break down your review session. An easy way to break down your schedule looks like this: set aside a couple days/a week for final review and take the total number of remaining days you have until the test. Divide this by the number of chapters to review and the quotient should be the number of days allotted to each section. If you can’t or don’t want to buy a review book, I’ll have the link to the course outline for every AP subject below.
Practice practice practice. You know that saying “practice makes perfect”? It’s true. Collegeboard usually uses certain types of questions for the AP tests and the format generally doesn’t change much from year to year, so taking a multitude of practice test will help familiarize you with the test. I’ll usually schedule in a full practice test every two weeks as I’m reviewing, and then take 3 or 4 consecutive ones during my final review week right before the test.
Figure out your weak spots. If you’re consistently getting the same kind of questions wrong or have that one concept that you don’t understand, ask someone for help. It can be a teacher, a parent, a friend, KhanAcademy, or Google. Make sure you target your weak spots before the test because I guarantee you they’re going to show up.
Do not cram. The night before the test, you should be completely relaxed. If you can help it, don’t even look at your book or your notes. Take the day to fully unwind. Take a bath or do some yoga. That way, you’ll be fully relaxed for tomorrow and ready to operate at your maximum potential.
For free response, write down everything. My AP Government teacher, who’s graded tests for a couple of years, says that as long as you answer the question somewhere in your answer, you can earn credit for it, even if you have a lot of miscellaneous information (has to be correct though). So when it comes to free response, more is always better. A little trick he also taught us is to correspond your answers to the subsection of the questions, like a, b, c, etc so it’s organized, but then to cross out the letters when you finish writing the response (only for subsections). This is because if you accidentally include the answer to part a in part b, they cannot give you credit, but if you cross out the designations, the whole answer you wrote becomes fair game.
GENERAL TIPS
Get a good night’s sleep. Trust me.
Eat breakfast and bring snacks/water. The tests often go for more than 2 or 3 hours at a time and you will get hungry. You’ll be allowed to eat a snack during break time, so make sure you bring some food and water with you.
TURN YOUR CELL PHONE OFF WHILE TESTING. You will not be allowed to bring your cell phone with you. You will also not be allowed to use your phone during break. CollegeBoard is very strict about this. One time at my school, a girl used her phone during break to text her mom during the AP Biology test and she almost made everyone have to retake the test. Don’t be that person. PLEASE TURN YOUR PHONE OFF AND LEAVE IT OUTSIDE.
Dress in layers. You never know what kind of temperature it’ll be like in the testing room and a temperamental thermostat should not come between you and your hard work for this exam. Just avoid bringing hoodies because sometimes the proctors are very strict with them as the guidelines do not allow hoodies.
Be prepared. Check ahead to see what kind of calculators, if at all, are allowed for your specific exam. Take note that for the AP Biology test, only 5 function calculators are allowed. That means no scientific or graphing calculators. Pack up all your stuff the night before and set it aside so you don’t have to worry about it the next morning.
Breathe. It’s only a test. You’ll be fine.

Coping with the Fear of the Unknown in Islam
Life is full of things that can make us feel worried, and sometimes it’s like walking in the dark without a flashlight. But, in Islam, there are some really simple things that can help us when we’re feeling scared or unsure about what’s going to happen next. Let’s talk about these easy ways to feel better.

Whats you favorite fairy tale? (Essay)
My favorite fairy tale or the fairy tale that means the most to me is the Three Followers. The story of of one master and three followers who were the best of friends, until ambition, envy, loneliness, and duty took hold of the friendship they had and destroyed it. Destroying themselves in the process. This story is supposed to teach children that although these feeling do not have to be evil if you let them take a hold of you and emotions get the best of you, whatever you were trying to achieve will be beyond you reach. Something we should have thought of when the arguments began. Thought I will not go into details, this happened to my friends and I. These emotions turned our friendship that we once thought as hard as steel into tatters and shreds. We fought and blamed one another because of a desicion that was not in our control. In the end all that has left was anger, guilt, and memories of a happier time. A lot of time has passed since then, and for all that my friends did to me from verbally and physically, to the scars they gave me both literally and emotionally, I can say I have forgiven them for it. Some might think me a fool for it but if I were to stay with the anger and guilt they would have taken over me until nothing was left. I didn't want that. "The past doesn't define who you are, it just a starting point for who are going to be." I wasn't going to become a person who held grudges, never forgetting what had divided us but one who always remembers the good memories that united us. I hope that one day in the long future we will meet again, though we might not be the best of friends ever again. I hope when our eyes meet and I see not hatred or anger but nostalgia and forgiveness. I hope that day will come.
Be sincere, man. Where is it unreachable? Where?
If you love that destination, no place is unreachable. Because love— love is the fuel that takes us to distant lands we dream of, but have no map for.
Love, only love, man. Nothing else. Nothing much.

Fragile Pieces
Trust is a fragile piece of paper
And you seem to have a hole puncher in your back pocket at all times
A lighter at hand as well
Punching, ripping, burning my once whole paper
Leaving me with a sad little snippet
A little crumpled up, even after a lot of smoothing
There’s this pathetic peace of paper I’m holding onto
It’s not much
And it won’t last forever
But I won’t give up
Because I can still read the words
Scrawled in your handwriting
“I love you”
Trust is a fragile piece of paper
And as long as it’s marked by you
My pitiful peace of paper
Will stay with me
At all times
Missing Home
And again
I am surprised
about how much
a person
can feel like home
even though
they once
made coming home
the worst part about your day
~ excerpts of me moving on ~
I have drafts of poetry in my phone I won’t ever finish
Words I started writing when times were different
I won’t ever get to finish them because everything turned out different than the thoughts of the past anticipated it
Not better, not worse
But different
So I now have drafts of poetry in my phone that I can’t finish
Because out of all the “what ifs”, fate chose the one I was most scared of
And the words that were written in the past are to delicate to be burdened by destiny’s cruel choices of today
It’s your birthday
I’ve feared this day for the past month
This night I woke up 8 times, thinking I forgot to tell you happy birthday as the first person on this special day like I always did, followed by a tight hug and a sweet kiss
Just to remember that you wouldn’t even answer the phone now if you’d see my name on the screen
And I’m hurt
Because I do wish you nothing but the happiest birthday ever, but I know I’m no longer part of it and I would ruin your day by saying hi
Happy birthday my love
May this year bring nothing but brightness to you
And maybe you’ll never quite understand what you did to me
And maybe I’ll have to live with that
And maybe...just maybe,
That will be okay
~ excerpts of me moving on ~
Why don’t people today want to be the better versions of themselves?
Why does everyone say “accept me the way I am”?
Well, according to me, people are too lazy and oversmart these days that they think they’re well aware of everything but on the contrary, people are so full of themselves and are such KNOW-IT-ALL type of people, it scares me. The future that lies ahead of us is in danger because of such people who don’t want to do better, who just want to be lazy and prideful that they miss out on basic things in life.
run away
what about running away? leaving everything behind never look back to the things that were things that could have been stop to search for meaning in you, my love in you, my mother just me and the yet unseen tomorrow
a dream, a warm fantasy of how only the road would define the future only the miles would define who I am finding myself in a world which is open to us all instead of getting lost in my mind which is only open to me
I want to let go of a couple of things like of the idea of being anything of meeting the expectations I expect others to have Yet all I reached is the nothingness I called the vision of perfection and couldn't hold onto anyway
I am sorry but I am not going to make it Instead, I will float in the sea of unconsciousness and slowly drown to the sound of your voice I am sorry but I am not able to be yet I will rather remain as an ungrown flower and hide in the shadows hide from the sun hide from the rain only to avoid growing up and to stay a child I am sorry but I am not ready to fall this early because if I fall for you you are not able to catch me and I can't fly yet I am sorry but I am not ready to leave my nest yet I am not ready to fly not ready to grow not ready to be the human you try to see in me
