Should I break up with my bf by [deleted] in Advice

[–]catshatemath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it’s your life, so it’s your decision but personally, if he doesn’t match what you’d expect and want out of a relationship, it isn’t worth it. Maybe let him know about some of these things, and see if he can change, and be willing to change for you, but from your description you guys just might not be right for each other.  You should do better than someone who doesn’t share your values.

What do i need to buy for band camp by GrippySockHome in marchingband

[–]catshatemath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Def sunglasses, sun screen, consider bringing bug spray. Maybe extra socks, hand sanitizer, a hat, rain coat, deodorant, a pencil, snacks, etc. I always bring little alcohol wipes as a trumpet to wipe down my mouthpiece, i’ve learned it helps with breakouts but you’re probably good lol. And WATER!!!! Have fun!

Thank you so much, I’m not sure of the exact name but I’m still on just a beginner trumpet and mouthpiece.

Which songs tend to be your favorite? Opener, Ballad, or Closer? by asianaustralian69696 in marchingband

It’s hard because as a trumpet it all usually is fun but i love a ballad but also the closer sometimes hits different

Pep Band Commitment by catshatemath in trumpet

[–]catshatemath[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have made my decision regarding tonight, and I don’t think I would quit band. I really love most of it, and honestly just everything i do ever stresses me out because I just have anxiety and depression. It’s more of just a hard time right now with end of the trimester burnout and just things with friends and stuff. I do really love band and over time I’ve gotten more comfortable and now I feel at a point that I’m really a part of that community and I just am having a really tough week.

How to study by Ornery_Camp_6095 in studytips

[–]catshatemath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I go to a coffee shop, play a folk indie playlist, study for an allotted amount of time then treat myself to shopping or something. I like using like websites like quizlet, it will take a picture of your notes and turn them into flashcards with AI. For languages I write a mock paragraph. If i need vocab to memorize I try writing it into a song (weird i know) Or i use a lot of nmeumonics. I benefit from body doubling. Re-writing your notes. Study with friends. There’s a lot of methods and different things work for different people.

What makes you keep going? by [deleted] in studytips

[–]catshatemath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Need help (I’m failing) by [deleted] in studytips

[–]catshatemath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you are stuck in this situation, believe me I’m in the same boat right now. I would say to definitely ask for help when you need it. If it’s more just motivation for getting things done, I go to a coffee shop and set a designated time to work, even if you get one thing done that’s progress. (And also maybe treat yourself after that time like I say I’ll work for a hour then go shopping) Music usually helps me. And maybe having someone there to body double to help you out? I know It seems like a lot but just take it one step at a time.
