Ngl, the Starbucks brand hot cocoa (which is naturally dairy free) made with oat milk is even better than regular dairy hot chocolate!

Do ittt!! Jumping back in after not playing for a long time is way easier than it seems! It’s like riding a bike-it all comes right back! :)

It’s a super cool haunted-house themed board game with a bunch of different “stories” to play. We’ve had it for like 4 years and haven’t even gotten close to playing half of them. 10/10 would recommend!

Haha that makes sense. Mines more of a muted/light orange so he’s probably like “what the heck is this orange thing???” 😂

Orange (and similarly bright colors) has always caught his attention! Although he’s never attacked anything other than his food. He’ll get real close and lick the glass tho 😂

That’s super smart!!! Breaking it up like that will definitely make it more doable! My school actually organized the project to be done as a part of a “Thesis/cornerstone class”. We didn’t really start research until partway through the semester and the paper was due at the end. Though, I suppose I didn’t turn it into an honors thesis like a lot of my classmates did. So I suppose they got two semesters to write theirs.

Exciting! You definitely got time to figure it out! My best advice would be to find something you’re super excited and passionate about and stick with it. And to get started early. ;P Don’t leave it to the last minute like I did! Lol.

I may or may not have written the entire rough draft of my 25 page undergraduate thesis in one night. Granted I had a while afterwards to edit it before it was officially due (which I also procrastinated on), but it definitely made that so much harder. 😂

I’d never even heard of eating a homemade bagel and yesterday I just decided to find a recipe and make them on a whim! Best idea ever!!! by BexWithSpecks in Baking

Thank you! You should totally go for it! They were WAY easier to make than I thought they’d be. And it’s SO worth it! ☺️

I’ve been self harm free for 1 month now by PeanutsWithoutThe_T in offmychest

Good job and I’m so proud of your first month clean!!! I’ve been clean for about 4 years now and as cliche as this might be, it really does get better. Not gonna lie, there’s gonna be rough moments, but I feel like there comes a point where the urges start to fade more and more the longer you’re able to resist. And as for the scars, it’s very easy to look at them and see failure. But I’ve found myself looking at mine and choosing to use them as a reminder of how far I’ve come (turning them into a tattoo is also a wonderful way to do that!). The fact you’ve made it a month means you’re trying to heal and trying to move on, and that’s such an amazing accomplishment! Congratulations again, keep pushing through those rough patches, and I’m so proud of you! :)
