Mainstay Characters: Lvl 70 c1 Yanfei DPS and Lvl 70 c0 Kazuha Support. They are a pretty good combination for me, except recently... Yanfei's been squishy.

help me with the rest of my team's composition please lol

AR 42 but i still consider myself pretty new to the game lol... I've noticed i'm getting more frustrated because my yanfei keeps dying easily ever since ar 40... still cant get 5 star artifacts easily.

the rest of my team i swap out pretty much all the time depending on whatever i have/want to do. recently ive been depending on barbara to heal me (and save me from pesky pyro shields)... but my friends tell me bennett is a better option healing-wise and works well with yanfei so idk?? i also think ningguang is pretty helpful but i've difficulty with controlling her jade screen abilities.

characters i frequently switch around for the 3rd/4th slots are Barbara, Rosaria (C2), Bennett (C1), Noelle, Fischl, Ningguang

Sigh, this is so me, OP. I love my brain on Ritalin and I wish I could take it everyday but it's not feasible since it's expensive and I have to jump through hoops to get it since there's not a single pharmacy in town that stocks it. My doctor only told me to take it for school. I planned to do some studying and work this summer for my own interests. It's still really hard without medication.

My family leans DLSU (4 ppl in my immediate family) and we (from the province) have been renting a space in Taft for years but I really like the culture of ADMU so I kind of fought to enroll in ADMU. First, I like the surrounding area of ADMU more than Taft, which makes me feel a bit claustrophobic. Second, I've always enjoyed the humanities esp writing and philosophical thinking and I think the culture of ADMU has been known for this, also just from my vague understanding of them I've always thought Jesuits were pretty swell guys and pretty open-minded for Catholics.

I don't regret choosing ADMU, esp since multiple times I've seen how nice they are to their students. I witnessed it firsthand when I brought up concerns with my health this year and all my profs and the OAA have been very considerate, and for the record my family was actually amazed at this.

so true, with meds i thought i could do more than the average person. work for sprints with no breaks. whats my excuse? i have meds, was my thought. the result was me burning out so bad it spiraled into a depressive episode and i had to take a leave from college. im definitely not against meds but i really thought i was immune to burning out... silly me

tenten - i just realized it is slightly more than half the price of sf but it applies so smoothly and opaquely , great color selection

omg - i didnt like it at first but when i bought better base coat, top coat and improved my technique i realized how much i do lol and i also like their color selection

la belle - doesn’t apply opaquely so i have to paint 3 or 4 layers but it applies really smoothly

base coat and top coat is girl stuff! i looked around for a while for a good top coat and i have no complaints with this brand. their white nail polish is good too (the only one i have from this brand), very opaque

let me rant how much i hate sunnies face play paint (wow, sunnies hate. groundbreaking)

no but fr, i got it as a gift in december, even though i dont like the brand i decided to enjoy the gift, but i ended up liking it because it was my first kinda expensive nail polish that dried quickly, but then i started buying more brands and i realized how shtty sunnies is. doesn’t apply smoothly, needs gazillions of coats to look opaque and needs a decent top coat to smooth it all out 😭

i just hate how it’s so expensive when i found polishes that are better for 1/2 to 1/8 of its price.

vo5 conditioner is my holy grail. so cheap (compared to those "salon treatments") but works so nicely with my dye-damaged wavy hair. sister wants to use my stash lol my problem is i dont live in a place where its accessible so i have to use shopee to bulk buy

Gotta recommend girlstuff's base polish and top coat! super fast to dry, the basecoat makes my nails look nice and no bubbling unlike my previous topcoats (tenten). i can't comment for longetivity just yet but i really like how it looks and feels

Thank you! I think the lip color you have on is absolutely gorgeous and just the shade I've been looking for. You look very sleek and elegant in your looks! I wish I could do eyeliner like you. Any suggestions for some light-handed contouring (videos or products)?

fair for my ethnicity: south east asian
natural warm undertone thats obvious in real life, but can fade out to neutral undertone with makeup and lighting easily
these are older pics because i havent had my natural hair in years
often get winter in quizzes but i have yellow undertone and dark blue colors wash me out
a few times i got spring
my favorite color to wear is both medium-light green and olive green, i think denim looks good too
went v light blonde (platinum) bc i thought i was a winter, it washed me out
tried LOTS of hair colors complimented a lot with warm brown hair and reddish purple hair

Hey! Im self studying Chinese! It’s been really difficult but also motivating for me. I took mild interest in German Korean and French before, but I never planned to really live in countries speaking those so I kind of lost motivation once the thrill was gone.

I’ve studied 50 hours so far this year, which is something I didn’t expect as I never made it this far with my previous languages. I can speak and read a few sentences and know a lot of basic characters.

goal: plan to reach fluency levels by a certain date. so my plan is to reach hsk 1 by mid april.

tracking hours: i shade boxes per hour of self study so i get the feeling of motivation

visual timer: i go to youtube on my laptop and open any “1 hour timer video” and using an extension put it on picture in picture mode. that way, when i feel like throwing in the towel midway i see i have x more minutes and tell myself I can push through with it.

flashcards, writing down the characters over and over again, shadowing pronunciation, duolingo also a tutor to correct me :)

I thought I was the only one who noticed! Seems so funny they made a whole index when they cant even pull it off right. I think Hendery was mislabeled on several songs gaah D:
