my fave overheard on campus moment of all time was the two guys who sat behind me in pop culture theory
as class was starting one of them was like “so… do you want a blowjob after this” in a rly bored voice, and then the second guy was like [pause][dejected sigh] “yes”

Anonymous asked: A week ago I sent you an ask really freaking out about college and your advice really helped me. I just want to say thank you so much. I still have 2 days until I leave but I am not as freaked out anymore. I do have another question though. Is there anything that I would need to bring that people don't normally think about? I don't want to get there and find out I have the wrong stuff.
Hey, babe, I’m so glad my advice was helpful! Hm, stuff to bring to college that people don’t normally think of…let’s see…
- First aid kit. It might seem obvious, but it’s not. Even if it’s just a box or two of bandaids, some rubbing alcohol, a bottle of Advil/Tylenol, and some Neosporin. It’ll make you popular, and it’ll come in handy.
- Small sewing kit. Even if you can barely sew a button. Thread and needle come in handy more often than you’d think, ditto safety pins and scissors. You should be able to buy one at any reasonably large craft store.
- Your favorite kid’s show/movie and a way to watch it. I’ve watched more Disney in the last few years than…ever, maybe. And I got Liberty’s Kids this summer and I’m gonna watch the fuck out of it this year while I write my thesis. Seriously. Your serious, dark TV shows are great and I love them, too, but when you inevitably have a really awful day, a light, familiar, comforting kid’s show or movie is the way to go. TRUST ME ON THIS.
- At least one book you really love. I brought a whole crate of books, including the entire Harry Potter series, my first semester. I didn’t read half of them, but I have no regrets. It was soothing to be able to see them there, you know? Something that was mine.
- I suggested this before, but some kind of comfort item? I have a few stuffed animals that always come to college with me, a favorite blanket, that sort of thing. Tell anyone who questions you to fuck right on off.
- Bring backups. If you wear glasses, bring an extra pair (try Zenni.com if you don’t have the money to drop on an extra pair of store-bought glasses). Bring an extra phone charger. Bring extra headphones. Bring extra everything.
- SNACKS BUY FRIENDS. Bring some chocolate, bring some cookies, whatever you can get your hands on. It’s easy to buy the love of a college student with junk food.
- On a related note, maybe have some foodstuffs in your room for when you decide that you just cannot with the dining hall anymore. Everyone reaches that point eventually, even if it’s just because you’ve had a long-as-fuck day and people seem too intimidating.
- On ANOTHER related note, if you drink caffeine, find a source that works. Coffee, energy drinks, tea, those little MIO things. It helps to know where you’re getting that boost. And remember, kiddo: caffeine OD’s are a thing, and I will be disappointed in you if you drink twelve espressos in a day and have a heart attack.
- Last but not least, something to cover the walls. I said it before, I’ll say it again. College dorms are basically prison cells before you put shit in them. Posters, sticky notes with quotes you like, pictures, whatever. I make signs with quotes and sketches and Organic Chemistry stuff. Adler has a postcard collage. ANYTHING. Blank white cinderblock walls are depressing.
I hope it goes well, babe, you’ve got this!
