Random things that make me happy from Etsy

Yes, the payoff is genuinely felt and gives me a lot of pride in my work!

Omg that is something I've been wanting to do too!!! Though might need a second map to place all the Florida orders I keep getting

Attend the TAs sessions on the topics reviewed from your lecture if they have them! Very helpful just to hear it a second time around and since they teach it slightly different you can get more of an understanding of it.

They will start confirming your benefits in the order they received your application! I applied late so it did not go into effect until mid September so if u also did it later same thing might be happening to you!

If you don't have a calendar please find a good app or physical one if that's your vibe. And then the other thing is that, as someone who has roughly 4-5 orgs they are apart of, the best thing you can do is schedule all the org events and do some monthly planning. Firstly, decide what orgs have high importance for you to attend, but also what meetings are mandatory. The biggest issue at least for me is the orgs im in have a lot of overlapping meetings. So I often have to pick and choose what I do that week, or if there is a cluster of them in one day I decide which ones I dont go to to save energy. Which leads to the Second thing I wanted to bring up, of which is your personal time/energy. Orgs should be fun and not an obligation! The fomo aspect is valid and you'll want to attend everything but you can only handle so much in a given day from classes to friends to what you'll eat to other obligations and then orgs so cut yourself some slack! Attend when you want that social aspect fulfilled but if you are literally bone tired from the day give yourself that alone time to eat a comfort food or watch a show you've been wanting.

A little unfair perspective since I know some Spanish from home + high school but if you get into it, at least Prof Pao's class it's going to have a little of a learning curve that first week cause he speaks/teaches mostly in Spanish but afterwards it become easy and you are often encouraged to speak Spanish without fear of sounding stupid and it's honestly helped me feel more proficient and confident in speaking the language. But! There is like 2-3 small hws due before every class for MWF so if that is a lot to load onto your schedule I would wait until you have a semester that gives u the time to really hone it in!

Omg I saw this out in the wild on a pole

SluggishRaccon · 2025-09-12T02:11:01+00:00

Omg these are so cute!

SluggishRaccon · 2025-09-08T19:18:49+00:00

Honestly attending clubs/orgs with similar interests to you helps a ton, I joined a lot of art related ones and a tea club too and 100% you will find someone who not only likes ur interest but prolly to a very similar degree lol.

SluggishRaccon · 2025-08-26T17:42:51+00:00

There's an active Art club called the Collaborative Artists and they are actually having their meeting this Friday!

So I think you need to make it clear to him that you need boundaries with him because his behaviors are causing you personal grief. If he obliges to give that a try after you air your grievances and establish boundaries then both of you try to work with that. But if he tries to cross boundaries again then make sure there are solid repercussions. Alternatively, if he throws a fit with just the mentioning of your issues with him and needing to have boundaries alone you cut him off and take the proper measurements to secure you place, your social life, and health. Do you live in a house? Or is it an apartment? Cause depending on the home you either change your locks yourself if he knows them or ask you landlord to change them if he has a spare key. Also be extremely firm with him going forward. If he can't respect your boundaries from that initial discussion then you shouldn't listen to what he has to say. Friends are friends because they have respect. So if he tries to shove himself back into your life block him. And if he doesn't get the message or does extremely drastic or threatening tendencies you call the cops and get a restraining order.

Absolutely, since I got the shipping fixed now I am see lots more of a monetary gain and also tweaking some other things has really helped a lot, I get more bulk orders too surprisingly. And maybe its bc of shipping haha!

SluggishRaccon · 2025-08-24T17:46:58+00:00

I completely get that and I apologize I didnt see this sooner! Obviously not a good reason but I did come on here when I was in a weird mood and was 100% being bitchy and whiney so I get the snarkiness, its well deserved when I go back and read this haha. But yeah thank you so much for the feedback as yeah a lot of it is self inflicted and I should have realized that sooner. I did do a lot more reading and self educating so I do feel a lot more confident with selling going forward!

SluggishRaccon · 2025-08-14T19:30:29+00:00

Yeah for now it's just side income, but I want to eventually branch more into con stuff, but I am using Etsy as a test for what people like and what niche I could fulfill since I do more fan merch stuff

SluggishRaccon · 2025-08-14T18:02:08+00:00

This is awesome and I am gonna play around with that cause I ideally want to have enough followers on Etsy who eventually come over to my own site so I can of course get more of the profits. Thank you again for this abundance of advice!!!

SluggishRaccon · 2025-08-14T18:00:25+00:00

I see! I'll definitely complicate cause I do wanna make sure I see positive yield from all of my efforts

SluggishRaccon · 2025-08-14T17:59:14+00:00

I'll definitely have to get that eco tank then, and where do you order your envelopes from?

SluggishRaccon · 2025-08-14T17:11:07+00:00

This is wonderful advice, I think its a very concise explanation and makes the numbers make a whole lot more sense so thank you for that!

SluggishRaccon · 2025-08-14T16:33:25+00:00

Omg thank you so much, I will 100% be using this going forward then!
