I've Survived All My Finals!!!

I've survived all my finals!!!

Best one? Chemistry. Even though it was at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, Chemistry was my easiest class this semester by far. I even had time to write some of the FNAF lore on the back; I had been joking with my professor that I would tell him all the lore one day.

Worst one? Experimental Physics. It should have been easy, but my horrible time management skills wrecked me. It wasn't a traditional final, but a project with an accompanying poster, presentation, and lab report.

So yeah. My life is no longer chaos. ROTTMNT incorrect quotes will resume tonight!

Two Sides to Giving Thanks

For those of us in the U.S., today is Thanksgiving. I am thankful for many, many things in my life. I could write entire essays about my family, my friends, my school, my neighborhood... Heck, I could probably write a book about how much I love all the dogs in my life. Yet, I keep circling back to my special interests.

Astronomy has been there with me since the beginning. It has fueled my passion for learning, and it has served as a springboard for my professional potential. Then, Monster High grabbed my attention with its unique character designs, and I found a role model in Lagoona Blue. FNAF came into the mix in November of 2014, just after the release of the second game. It scared the crap out of me at first, but then I got obsessed with the lore and the character designs. FNAF got me through high school, by far the most stressful six years (yes, six--my high school included all grades from 7th through 12th because my district was so puny) of my life. And now, just two months ago, Rise of the TMNT joined in. The turtles being brothers and goofing off just gives me so much life, and Donnie in particular means so much to me that he might be a hearttype for me.

My interests have played a huge role in how I've grown as a person. I am incredibly grateful for them.

Today does, however, have a darker meaning to some families than others. I have heard that several American Indian families treat Thanksgiving as a day of mourning; I am not equipped to speak in detail on the matter, as I lack detailed information, but it is definitely understandable given how indigenous populations were treated by European migrants as colonization progressed. True awareness of this side of Thanksgiving is unlikely to spread quickly as things currently stand. Consumerism and indulgence have a significant foothold in the modern interpretation of the holiday.

So what will it take?

I don't have the answer. I'm just one person. But I know from experience that education and civil, rational discussion can go a long way. It isn't a guarantee, and it may not be easy. There are quite a few people in my life who aren't willing to participate in such discussions, and I bet a lot of you readers know people like that, too. It's a start, though. So as we feast upon our Thanksgiving buffets, and as we give thanks for the wonderful things in our lives, perhaps we can also spare a thought for those who must mourn today, and start to make changes for the better.

Thank you to everyone who got me to 250 likes!

Wow, I never anticipated anything like this! I'm so happy that so many people out there like what I post! Oh, and don't worry. More incorrect quotes are coming your way soon. :)

jellogender is the cutest thing I've ever seen not in a patronizing way but in a "im gonna steal it" way

Thank you!! It has lots of definitions, so there's plenty of room to "steal" it. Here's its page on the MOGAI genders wiki.

There used to be a really neat flag for it, too--basically the same one as on the wiki, but with a white diamond in the center. I can't find it anywhere, though, almost like it's been scrubbed off the internet. But hey, the other flag is also pretty nice. :)
