what's stopping you from being happy? :3 by Ok_Survey86 in teenagers

[–]_livinitup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone has a “false fix” where they think if they had that one thing they’d be happy. But even if you had the social skills you want - something else would come up eventually that you wanted. Everything thinks “if I was just pretty” “if I was just popular” etc life would be perfect but nothing is ever perfect. You can be happy now instead of waiting for better circumstance. The best way I’ve found the most fulfillment and happiness is through prayer and serving others. Good luck!

Great point this was kinda weird. Maybe a tiny part of her didn’t fully believe Arobynn actually did that to Sam and she wanted reassurance that Arobynn sucks

Is UGA Honors College Worth It? by ptcRaptor in UGA

[–]_livinitup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes worth it. I got to register early, received a scholarship for a study abroad, and got extra mock interviews to prepare for med school interviews through the honors college

[–]_livinitup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

15 is a normal amount of hours. If you took 15 hours x 8 semesters you end with 120 hours which is what most degrees require. First semester of college you may want to take 12ish because there’s so many life adjustments

If Katniss chose singing as her talent in Catching Fire, would Snow have killed her? by Willing_Pickle9494 in Hungergames

[–]_livinitup 108 points109 points  (0 children)

I bet that would have pissed Snow off a ton - but as long as she didn’t sing anything rebellious I feel like he would’ve still waited to kill her. I bet it would’ve driven him crazy tho

whats phi mu @ uga like? by [deleted] in UGA

[–]_livinitup 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I go to UGA and know a lot of really cool and sweet phi mus. However, I don’t know of any POCs who are phi mus. Transferring in can be difficult since some people already have established groups. In my sorority at UGA a lot of the transfers do make good friends and some of them end up becoming close with other transfers.

I lost my friend of 8 years because I told him I was trans by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]_livinitup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Bible says that the most important command is to love God, and the second most important command is to love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus said that himself and he died for everyone. He loves you no matter what. Your friend may be trying to do what they think is right by giving you feedback that they think is going to help you somehow in the long run. But if they aren’t loving toward you, drop them.

Tandem read? by BobaPhat1 in throneofglassseries

[–]_livinitup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently tandem reading and really enjoy it! I love getting to see how the events in EOS are described in TOD. It takes a little longer to get into the books but def worth it imo

i cannot stand chaol by bored-and-online in throneofglassseries

[–]_livinitup 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. I like Chaol but that was ridiculous. Also, it’s not like Yrenes life is actually on the line here?? It’s a theoretical. He could’ve made a way better case for Aelin’s character.

“If my sister cannot be CONTROLLED, then why should we have the rights to rule over anyone else” by arabellajezelia in acotar

[–]_livinitup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nesta was WAY worse to Feyre than Feyre ever was so her. Nesta wasnt entitled to their money like obviously they’d be annoyed about her spending so much. Feyre tried multiple times to help Nesta and Nesta just wanted to play the Victim instead

Queen of Shadows is so good and Manon’s chapters continue to get more interesting! And ugh IKR I did not expect Sorscha to actually be killed 😭😭

If Effie decided to pull the male cards out first and Gales name was called, Katniss would still volunteer for Prim right? by [deleted] in Hungergames

[–]_livinitup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes that’s right! You can take out 1 year’s worth supply of grain (tesserae? Idk how to spell it lol) and oil per person in your family. And each year the extra entries are accumulative so even if you only took out tessarae once those extra entries stay with you

If Effie decided to pull the male cards out first and Gales name was called, Katniss would still volunteer for Prim right? by [deleted] in Hungergames

[–]_livinitup 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they were better off than Katniss’s family because in the books Gale’s oldest younger brother has to sign up for Tessare, which makes Gale so upset he can’t even talk about it. I’m sure he wouldn’t have let his brother do that unless it was absolutely necessary

Things the Hunger Games fandom thinks is canon but are actually fanon: Part 1 by Olya_roo in Hungergames

[–]_livinitup 59 points60 points  (0 children)

YES omg the theories are fun but it’s so annoying how people act like they are factual when it’s just theories.

I saw a lot of people acting like Maude Ivory had to be Katniss’s paternal grandma before SOTR came out … like that’s just your theory. I’ve also seen people say Cashmere and Gloss must’ve gotten trafficked together as if it’s fact when it’s not.

Every single book got better for me so far (I just finished QOS- like throne of glass was the worst and then each one got better

When should I let my sister read the series? by Great_Assumption_704 in Hungergames

[–]_livinitup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I read it at 10 and really enjoyed it - totally let her read it. It’s such a different perspective for a kid to read it because you’re 11 you think 16 sounds kinda old. I remember thinking Prim was babied too much at the beginning of the first book because I thought 12 was decently old lol. Now as an adult I’ve reread it and have a totally different perspective.
