_________________________________________

Annoyance courses through your veins when Rhys’ phone buzzes against the tabletop again. The devilish device has been blowing up with messages since before your tutoring session had even begun, as soon as Rhys walked into the room with a mumbled greeting, fully immersed in the device.

Each vibration has slowly chipped away at your feeble concentration. You quickly lost focus on studying, and you’ve had to re-read the same paragraph three times over, restarting every single time he received a new message. Not a single fact has clicked in your head, and the urge to collapse in defeat is all too tempting right now.

Rhysand is in no way phased by your unpleasant aura and blatant glares. His laptop is open, eyes glued to the screen as his fingertips fly across the keyboard. He has a paper due at nine in the morning, and although he’s known about it since the end of last week, between tutoring you, the Halloween party, hockey practices, and games, he’s up to his ears busy.

But he wanted to see you.

He’d spent all week thinking about you. During practice, he’d found himself glancing up into the bleachers, looking for you, hoping he’d catch a peek of you in that sinfully butchered jersey of his. That reminds him, he needs to get you a new one because you’re more than distracting in that scrap of fabric.

He’d searched for you the same way at the away game the Bat’s had this week, even though he knew you weren’t in the building at all, weren’t even in the same city.

And psychology is fucking ruined for him. He thinks about you the most when he’s sitting in class, staring at the lecture slides he should be copying down. It’s a good thing that the information comes so easily to him, otherwise he’s pretty sure he’d be fucked with the amount of time spent daydreaming about how your lips felt on his, soft, shy, intimate.

“You know, if I’m keeping you from something,” you finally say, snapping Rhys from his paper. It’s hard to keep the annoyance out of your tone but the surprise on his face, the way his brows knit together in confusion has a pang of guilt stabbing you in the chest. Clutching your pen in your grasp only helps a little. “We don’t have to do this tonight.”

You refrain from admitting that you really do need his help tonight due to the quiz you have coming up later this week. It’s the only night he’s available to tutor you, with his hectic schedule. Right now, his presence is more distracting than it is helpful, and from where you sit across the table, you can tell that he’s stressed.

It’s in the way that he runs his fingers through his jet-black hair, tugging on the roots when whatever he’s typed doesn’t make sense. You know this is his tell because it’s followed by the prominent clicks of the backspace key for each letter he removes. Clack. Clack. Clack.

You can fully see the exhaustion written on his face, the circles beneath his violet eyes, and how every so often you’ve caught him rubbing his fists into his eyes. The bruise on his jaw looks better than it had the last time you saw him, splotches of yellow-green dust the area instead of the deep purple coloring it was when the injury was fresh.

He must see your frustration on your face because his shoulders drop in shame.

“What? No, I’m here,” he insists, shoving his computer away from him. Yeah, maybe a break is what he needs. Shame crawls up his throat. He’s supposed to be your tutor, and he’s been so caught up in his own work that he forgot that he’s supposed to be helping you.

Rhys frowns when his phone jolts against the desk again. You take a calming breath, closing your eyes, but they still prickle with frustration. You’re just as frazzled as he is. If you don’t pass this quiz, you’re not sure there’s hope of salvaging your grade.

You’re arguably just as exhausted as Rhys. Your other classes are also on the verge of kicking your ass, and you can only blame it on the fact that you actually have a semblance of a social life this year and aren’t holed up in your dorm room 24/7 outside of your classes, studying your ass off. No, you’re hanging out with your roommates more, meeting new people, going to hockey games and parties, both of which are things you never thought you’d be into.

And trying to keep up this façade as Rhysand’s fake girlfriend isn’t easy. Amarantha seems like she’s everywhere. You can barely count the number of times last week Rhys messaged you about her. You meet up with him when you’re close and able, in the commons, the food halls, you even met him between the stacks of bookshelves in the library while she pretended to peruse the non-fictions, but you can’t be everywhere at once. It’s a lot. Just last night, Amarantha was at the hockey house when Rhys arrived home. She had sunken her blood-red claws into one of the freshmen who’d been invited over for a few beers with a small group of players. Azriel had warned him of the devil under their roof, and Rhys had showed up at your dorm with a sheepish smile and a box of cookies from the convenience store he passed on the way over.

If he didn’t have those sweets in hand—and if your roommates hadn’t gone to a movie that you wanted to see but couldn’t because of the amount of studying you had to do—you would have slammed the door in his face.

You spent the night studying alright, but it wasn’t the words in your psych textbook. You couldn’t help but examine Rhysand, who sat across from you on your couch, the way that his hair fell from his brow when his chin tilted down to his own work. The way that he held the chocolate chip cookie in his mouth between his teeth as he wrote in his notebook. The zip of excitement you felt when your fingers brushed against his rough ones in the cookie box.

Your cheeks warm at the memory. You swear you can still feel his touch, the sheepish smile he gave you when he pulled his hand away, letting you pick whichever cookie you preferred. You wanted to lean over and taste that soft smile against your lips. You managed to find the restraint, offering him a gentle smile in return before stuffing a bite of the chocolatey goodness in your mouth as you ripped your gaze from his.

“No, really,” you try to insist politely. “If you need to go, you should. Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine.” It’s difficult to hide your cringe. You really do need his help.

Rhysand stares. He doesn’t know what he’s done wrong, and when he opens his mouth to ask what has you so on edge tonight, his phone pings with another message, and realization sets in like a boulder in the pit of his stomach at the way your gaze drops back to your book.

“I’m sorry,” he apologizes, snagging his phone from the table. It’s Cassian, again. His roommate won’t let the fuck up in the group chat, demanding mandatory attendance from every single member on the team at the party he’s hosting at the hockey house the night before team plays the Springview Wolves.

Rhys would be worried about the potential jinxing Cassian’s text puts into the universe if he didn’t know that this is the one superstition his defenseman has. The past two years, the entire hockey team had attended one of Cassian’s pre-celebration parties. It was the last party before their meet with the Wolves, who they’d then slaughtered in a 6-2 game. The following year, they’d beat them in nail-biting overtime with a snapshot that could’ve broken the plexiglass had Azriel missed. Safe to say that this party has become as much as a tradition as it is a superstition, and Rhysand needs to be there.

But right now, he needs to be here, focusing on you and the psych class you’re bombing.

“Look, if you’re too busy to tutor me I’d rather you tell me now so that I might have a chance at finding a new tutor before this quiz.” It’s difficult to mask the disheartened etch to your voice. Who are you kidding? There’s no way you’ll be able to find a tutor when the quiz is two days away.

Yep, you’re officially screwed.

“I’m not,” Rhys protests, shaking his head. Something about the idea of another person tutoring you has annoyance flaring in his veins. He silences his phone, something he should have done as soon as he walked over the threshold of the study room. “It’s just Cassian, anyway.” Rhys slides his chair around the corner of his table so close that your knees knock into each other. The touch sends a shockwave up your thigh and you try not to recoil at the surprising feeling. “Sorry. I’m done texting. Remind me what you’re working through, and I can help with any questions you have.”

You’re apprehensive to let this tutoring continue. It’s become very clear that Rhys has other priorities. He’s the captain of the hockey team for fuck’s sake; he probably has more on his plate than you think he does.

At your hesitation, he questions, “What?”

You shrug, feeling completely defeated. All you want right now is to crawl home with your tail between your legs and curl into a ball in your bed. You’ve pretty much accepted that you’re going to fail this class, tutor or not. There’s no way you’re going to admit any of this to Mor’s cousin right now, so you deflect, lamely. “I don’t know Cassian that well, but he doesn’t seem like the kind of guy that likes to be ignored.”

Rhys rolls his eyes, and your breath hitches as the corners of his mouth twitch in amusement. Sadly, a grin doesn’t break through, but it lights a fire under your ass. You want to see that smile, and you’ll do just about anything to make it happen.

It’s sad, almost, how much effort you’d put into earning that grin, but not apply that same energy toward studying.

“He’s going through our roster in the group chat, calling every single person out by name to make sure their schedules are cleared for the party we’re throwing this weekend.”

You catch yourself before your eyes roll into the back of your head in what might possibly be the most dramatic, epic eyeroll ever.

“Wow,” you feign an amused laugh. “That sounds dramatic.”

“That’s Cass for you,” Rhys says, amused. He crosses his arms and places them on the table. It takes effort not to watch the way his muscles pop beneath his t-shirt as he leans in closer. You’re only a foot away from each other. If you wanted to recreate the kiss you shared on Halloween, all you’d have to do is angle forward, tilt your head, and his lips would be on yours. You wonder for a fleeting moment if Rhys was as thrown over the kiss that night as you were. If he still thinks about it, can still feel the phantom sensation of your lips pressed together.

You remember that you shouldn’t be thinking about the kiss at all, and you sit back in your chair.

“You know,” Rhys starts, and you don’t like the telltale signs of a scheme that lines his tone. You almost groan out loud but settle on shooting him a warning look. “Since you’re my girlfriend—”

“Fake girlfriend,” you correct instantly.

Rhys rolls his eyes and tips back onto the back legs of his chair. “Fine. Fake girlfriend,” he mimics and you toss your pencil at him. He catches it against his chest and the smile you’ve been waiting to see finally cracks his face. Fuck, he’s gorgeous when he does that. You’re even gifted those pearly white, straight teeth of his. You’d keel over in your chair like one of his many conquests if it wouldn’t give him an ego. You almost miss the end of Rhys request with how entranced you are. “You should probably make an appearance at the party.”

“Yeah,” you sigh. Realization strikes you like a fist. Rhys all but preens in his seat. You blink as his words settle, frows knitting together. “Wait, no, I can’t.” His face immediately falls. Rhys’ face scrunches adorably and you’d really like to reach out and smooth the crease between his brows right now.

There are more than a handful of reasons that you should not show your face at the hockey house party, the most prominent being that you’re his cousin’s best. She doesn’t want you anywhere near him, and you can’t break that promise even more than you already have.

Well, I won’t tell anyone if you won’t. His words echo in your head and you shove them away as quickly as they arrive.

The second reason you shouldn’t be going to his party is that you’re barely even friends, you’ve somehow been sucked into a mess of a situation, pretending to be his girlfriend in exchange for tutoring. Tutoring that right now isn’t helping improve your grade at all.

“Why not?” He challenges. “What if Amarantha shows up?”

“Because I have other plans,” you answer plainly. You don’t need to give him a reason. You press, “I can’t be your buffer between Amarantha forever, Rhys. You’re a big boy; you can fight your own battles.”

He looks awfully like he doesn’t want to fight his own battles, with his lips pressed into a pout. If you thought that he was distracting before, this is an entirely new level of diversion. A much better kind, to be honest.

“You’re seriously not coming to the party?”

“No,” you respond, packing up your things.

“But what if she corners me and tries to kiss me or give me a hand job or something?” He asks.

Your eyes almost bug out of your head. “Then you tell her no, Rhys,” you state. “It’s really that simple. And don’t guys enjoy hand jobs? When was the last time—” He opens his mouth and you shake your head. “No, nope, I don’t even want to know.” You glare until he shuts his mouth, but the amusement lingers in his eyes.

He huffs. “Those nails are sharp,” is all he offers.

You wince. Amarantha does keep her nails long and pointed at the tips, crimson red, like blood. You almost look down to admire your own hands but catch yourself at the last second. You do not need to be thinking about how your fingers might look like wrapped around Rhys’ eight inches.

Your cheeks burn and Rhysand raises a brow in question.

He must read the plea on your face because he thankfully changes the subject. “What could you possibly have going on that’s better than free booze, good music, and seeing yours truly?”

“Wow, Rhys,” you scoff. “Your ego is unbearably suffocating tonight. Did you get your dick sucked recently?” You ask sweetly, then busy yourself by turning to a fresh page in your notebook.

His answering grin is fucking smug.

The muscle of your jaw twitches with how tightly you clamp it shut.

“Hoping it happens at the party,” he answers, suggestively.

You fake gag. “No way.”

“Didn’t say it was going to be from you,” he teases. “But if you want to, you’ll know exactly where I’ll be.”

Gods, this boy and his fucking filthy mind. You certainly haven’t forgotten that he’s your best friend’s cousin, but the fact that you’re his cousin’s best friend has either slipped his mind, or he doesn’t care.

Either way, this isn’t a good situation to be in.

You divert, pulling your focus back to the books splayed out on the desk. Studying. Right, that’s what you need to be doing instead of whatever…this is.

“I told you; I can’t go.” You try and reach for your pen that’s in Rhys’ grasp but he pulls it out of reach, ignoring the glare you send his way. Fine. You search your backpack for a backup but come up empty. Ugh.

“Can’t, or won’t?” He shoots back.

“Both,” you sigh, checking the time on your phone. It’s well past nine o’clock in the evening, and you really thought that you’d be back at the dorms already, curled up on your bed with your laptop overheating on the sheets as it played a movie. “Can we get back to studying?”

“In a second,” Rhys assures. Why does he want you to come to the party so badly? Besides the obvious. Amarantha surely can’t be that much trouble. She is a little bit of a nightmare and you could see how Rhys wants her to take the hint that he’s moved on, but if he’s that worried about her in the first place, why doesn’t he tell her that she’s uninvited? Or make the hockey team aware that she’s not allowed in the party? Why is flaunting you around the only answer? “What if I said please?”

“That wouldn’t magically cancel my plans.”

“What plans?” You frown. You wonder why he’s pushing this so hard.

Studying for this quiz is going to be impossible. You and Rhys might as well pack up and vacate the room so that people who are actually trying to study can use it. You’re almost positive that the group lingering by an overcrowded area of the library keep shooting you scathing looks every time you open your mouth.

“Gwyn is turning twenty-one and since Mor and I don’t turn twenty-one until next year, we’re planning on ordering in and getting a little tipsy at the dorms.” Rhys gives you that seriously? look that makes you glare. “Not that I care about your opinion, like, at all, but is there something wrong with that?”

“Only the fact that you’re ditching a party whose halls aren’t patrolled by snitches?” He explains, and he would think that the resident assistants live for getting college kids in trouble. “It’s the dorms! How freshman of you.”

“Whatever, Rhys. Some people don’t want to drink until they can’t see straight in front of a bunch of strangers.”

“I’d be your eyes for you,” he winks, as if what he said was comparable to a knight in shining armor defending a princess.

“Good,” you retort. “Because I’m about three seconds away from gouging them out if you keep hassling me about this. Come on, I really need to study.”

Luckily, Rhys relents. His shoulders fall and the feet of his chair meet earth again.

“You’re right. I’m sorry,” he says, and cranes his neck to see what you’re reading about. “Let’s get you nice and ready for your quiz.”

Maya is the daughter and the only child of the infamous gang leader and hitman Suguru Geto. She had started her second semester as a third year college student, but for the past year, shed been dreaming of this mystery man, tall, daunting, and dangerous. Every morning shed wake to an uneasy feeling, as if the dreams meant so much more. Walking into class, she sees him, and does shit take a wild turn.

𝕀𝕟𝕥𝕠𝕩𝕚𝕔𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕘

It was now the next morning. Snoring softly next to you was the man who asked you to marry him just last night. You studied him as he slept. Curious as to why he thought that shit was ok to ask.

You just met him, there's no way he actually fell for you just like that, but then again you had fallen for him. But then again… that was different. And if he were to ever come in your dorm room he'd see just how many dreams you really had of him. You loved to draw so you sketched each and every one of those dreams , just so you wouldn't forget.

You continued to stare at the man while playing with the strings on his pants, testing waters again, but he was sleep- "Morning kid", you nearly jumped out of your skin, face beet red. "Jesus." You said flinching back.

He sat up and smirked, "you just looked so peaceful staring at me like that."

"How could you even tell, your eyes were closed." 

"I felt your eyes on me, and you and your boldness never goes unnoticed." He smirked again, his scar twisting into the curve of his face.

"Yea yea now make me breakfast please."

---

About an hour later you guys had finished breakfast and were sitting around in a comfortable silence, when the man spoke.

"You know I meant what I said last night." You glanced at him briefly,"and what might that be Professor Fushiguro"

He picked you up and sat you on his lap. "Marry me", you slid back off walking to the bag you brought. "Listen here Edward Cullen i'd love to, but i've got a quiz for your class that I need to do before 11:59 pm or you're gonna give me a zero", he smiled "oh you'd love to huh?"

You twirled on your heel glaring at the man who was already chuckling in amusement. " You know that's not what I meant."

"But you said it." At your grown age all you could think to do in the moment was stick your tongue out at him, like a 5 year old.

That earned you an ear to ear smile. "Anyways, do your quiz....thennnnn marry me."

You sighed pulling out your computer to check the assignments for his class and the rest of your online courses. His was the only one you had work for, sitting quietly across the room Toji watched you, silently.

It was an intense stare, but no harm was behind it. Almost like he was trying to tell you something. You thought more about what he asked. Considering it. It just felt wrong to say yes, let alone even ask that.

You read over the quiz he gave, it was about the different types of blood spatters. You didn't even think about it before, but part of the way the forensics team finds out how someone dies is by the way the blood is spattered across the scene.

As you started the quiz, until you heard voices outside. It didn't alarm you at first, turning back to your computer, but then you realized the voices were coming from the window in the living room, the one facing the back yard. The yard that's gated.

Toji swiftly stood and cut the lights out, grabbing you and moving to another room before another thought even crossed your mind. You looked at him eyes wide with fear, mouth open trying to find words, but before anything could leave your mouth, the deafening sound of an assault rifle pierced the air.

Toji dropped to the floor with you strapped to his chest, knocking all the wind out of you, trying to get out of harms way. He shoved you under his bed and disappeared out of sight. The people outside sounded like they were trying to break down the side door in the kitchen. “Look do not move until I come get you, you understand?”, he asked in a stern voice.

You were trying to catch your breathe so you just nodded between shaky breathes. As soon as you nodded he bolted out the room. No longer hearing the sound of the guns going off; the silence in the home was even more deafening than when the shooting started, making your ears ring. You’ve been through this way too many times. Even though your father kept you out of his life you could count a few too many times the place you were in was ambushed like that.

You weren’t scared just shocked, half way joking to yourself that you hoped they didn’t shoot up your computer. And trying to breathe after that gigantic man just dropped his weight on you

What seemed like forever later but was really only about 30 seconds, you heard more rounds going off. This time from inside the house. 

You hoped it was Tojis footsteps you heard hurdling towards you, not too long after the gunshots stopped. "Hey kid you ok ?"

  "No Im not ok, you just wwe slammed my ass into the ground ", you whispered yelled at him. All he did was roll his eyes and drag you from under the bed. As he helped you up, sirens were coming from all directions.

It was going to be a long day.

---

It was now 6 pm, and you were safely back at home. Your uncle was beyond livid about the situation. Him and Toji sat at the kitchen table trying to figure out who those men were, why they did that, and how they knew where Toji lived.

Of course now your uncle knew that you knew about your dad being MIA, considering you were at Tojis house. He was picking up on other hints the few hours the three of y'all where together. Like the way his eyes lingered a little too long on your waist or how you watched his every movement through hooded eyes. Surprisingly he wasn't mad or shocked about it. He had caught you by yourself at one moment and said "he is a lot older than you Maya, but I've known that man my whole life, and if I trusted anybody with you, it would be him."

You weren't up for the "guy" talk especially not with Gojo, and you hated when he called you by your first name like sir please. You knew he couldn't tell you anything , you knew that, it doesn't take away from the sour feeling you had towards the white haired man.

You were cuddled up in your fluffy bean bag chair when Toji walked in. "Hey Satu wants you to stay here until we figure this out. Do you want to go back to your dorm to get anything?", you shook your head "nah, trust me I have enough crap here already, and i'm good on hygiene products, I come home often anyways so there's stuff here."

He lets out a low hum in understanding. He closed the door and locked it. "Can I stay here tonight pretty girl, i'm scared." You snapped your head towards him only to find him pouting his lip out at you making you laugh out loud, "Of course you can, but we need snacks."

He walked over to your sitting figure on your bed, hovering. "Yes ?", you asked quietly.

He bent down and slowly pressed his lips to yours, leaning his hands on either side of you, his lips moved against yours cautiously not wanting to hurt you. Your hands lifted to his face, stretching your fingers into his hair.

Oh ok, no snacks then.

His lips started to move a bit faster slightly pushing you further onto the bed. Grabbing your hips, he picked you up and held you in his arms and sat you onto his lap, never breaking the kiss.

He cupped your face, "you're so beautiful", he whispered against your cheek. Your hands found their way to his waist band. He grunted lightly, stopping you from going any further, " Not yet baby, let me have you, yea?" It was all you could do to keep your voice and moaning at bay, so you just nodded. He was circling your hips with his thumb, placing small kisses across your collar bone and then up your neck. He did this on both sides leaving your face red, mouth open in a silent "O".

"I could get used to seeing you like this sweet girl."

You let out in involuntary whimper as he shifted you on his lap. His hands wandered all over your body, first he cupped your ass and made the same circle motions he did on your hips, you where on cloud 9 swaying in his embrace eyes fluttering open and shut.

Next he places more wet open mouth kisses right below your collar bone, as his hands slide up your back, under the tank top you had on, causing you to shiver. He easily slid it over your head eyeing your breast. His eyes twinkled at the sight. He was right about the earlier thought he had of you having more piercings, cause staring back at him where little pink hearts through your nipples shining just perfectly for him.

"Oh fuck me" Toji whispered leaning into your body, sucking on the metal on your nipple. In this moment he didn't care about your age, his “job” or that his house was shot up only hours ago. All he cared about was this pretty little ray of sunshine sitting on his lap.

He circled your nipples with his tongue flicking the jewelry as he did so. You watched him through your low, lust filled eyes, your hands had been locked in his hair, but he dint seem to mind.

He littered your breast with marks and kisses. Still peppering pecks up and down your abdomen he lifted you slightly and placed you on your back in front of him. Lifting his own body he hovered over you staring into your eyes.

"Is this ok?”

Your eyes held all the answers he needed, pleading, begging him. You refused to open your mouth because then he'd know just how bad you had been waiting for him. He met you 36 hours ago yet the desire he felt for you was so overwhelming, he almost couldn't take it anymore.

He pulled your shorts off of you tossing them on the floor leaving you completely bare under his gaze. His head dipped low in between your thighs.

"Look at you baby, so wet for me." His words dragged out in a low rumble against the inside of your thigh.

And that did it for you, any composure you had before snapped and you no longer could take his slow antagonizing pace. Every inch of your body was in flames under his touch and he wasn't making it any better.

"Toji" you whined

"Hmmm" He new exactly what he was doing and he knew just how bad you wanted him in this moment, he just needed to hear it from your pretty mouth.

"Please Toji"

"Please what"

"Touch me please baby, I need you so fucking bad"

And with that his resolve gave away too. His tongue found your sensitive bud with ease swirling so gently. His eyes roamed the beauty that was attached to his mouth right now, taking in every small detail.

Your hands were clenched to the covers that laid wrinkled beneath you, turning your knuckles white. Every one of your piercings glistened under the moon light lamp you had in the corner of your room making you look absolutely ethereal.

Toji wanted to fuck you so bad, he wanted to feel how you wrapped around him, but he knew you were too gentle, with his size he couldn’t be too rough or he’d for sure hurt you. You weren’t exactly small or averaged size, he was just a lot bigger than you were physically.

Those whimpers you were trying to keep before had turned into a string of lustful moans as your hips bucked into his face. He eagerly circled his tongue tasting and feeling every inch of your silky insides.

You felt his tongue sliding around inside of you tapping your walls. At this point you were so out of it you were sure Gojo probably had left the house in disgust.

Your hands, again had not once left his hair gripping it from the literal scalp, he still did not give af.

His large hands were wrapped around your thighs lightly holding them in place as he devoured you in your childhood room.

“Fucking- helll Toji oh my god” You screamed out.

His tongue dipped inside of you again edging you towards your climax. Your hips rolling against his face causing him to pin you with one hand, forearm on your thighs, the other finding your soaking wet entrance.

Toji was in absolute heaven his, but he couldn’t have you not just yet.

[snakestardraws]

Felt like writing a post explaining all my special interests and hyperfixations. I was going to post this during Autism Awareness/Acceptance Month, but I forgor 💀 Anyway, here's my massive infodump about all my interests (under the cut):

Current special interests: These are the big ones. The extremely intense, long-lasting interests that make up a core part of my personality. I define a special interest as something I'm constantly thinking about, talking about, and interacting with over a long period of time. To know me is to know these interests.

Pink Floyd - If I had to name a favorite special interest, this and reptiles would tie for the top spot. My interest in Pink Floyd is all-consuming. I can never properly convey how much they mean to me. I first got into them at age 12 when my mom bought me a Dark Side of the Moon shirt. My overly literal brain couldn't stand wearing a shirt without knowing the band, so I looked them up on Scratch (yes, the coding website lol. YouTube was blocked at our school). I clicked on Wish You Were Here, and my life was changed forever. It was a catastrophic extinction-level special interest canon event. I started consuming more and more of their music, getting what I couldn't find on Scratch through an MP3 download website. I read their Wikipedia page and started to genuinely care about the members and history in a way I never had for any other band. I took a specific liking to David Gilmour. I whispered the names of the band members to myself in bed to help me remember them, I walked around on the playground whispering the lyrics to their songs, I got an MP3 player and downloaded every song I could, I did my big 7th grade history project about them, I made atrocious plagiarized fanart of them, I wrote smut fic about David Gilmour with my best friend, I read Deviantart fics on the family computer in the early mornings. For the next 6 Christmases, I asked for only Pink Floyd merch and spent all of my own money on it. My collection grew from that one original shirt to 15 shirts, 16 vinyl records, 8 CDs, 3 pins, 4 posters, a keychain, a fanny pack, a tumbler, and so many more I can't even count. Pink Floyd was at my middle school graduation party and my high school graduation party. It was a bumper sticker on my first car. It inspired the name of my second snake. Their music followed me from insecure tweenhood to semi-confident early adulthood, playing out of crappy MP3 players and old cellphones and cheap turntables and CD players and car speakers the whole way through. I planned 5 different versions of my wedding to David Gilmour. I saw him and Nick Mason in concert and cried real tears both times. I had the best and cringiest interactions with other fans on Deviantart, AO3, Wattpad, YouTube, Amino, Discord, Reddit, Tumblr, and Instagram. Pink Floyd even got name dropped in my official autism diagnosis report 9 months ago. I could go on and on forever, but I should probably stop at some point. Thank you, Pink Floyd, for changing my life.

Reptiles - Where do I even start with my love of reptiles? I suppose the only place to start is when I was 11 years old. I took a Quotev quiz called "What snake should you get?" and got a corn snake as my result. I had never thought about snakes before and only took it for fun, but this made me start seriously considering them as pets. After months of research and begging my mom, I got a beautiful baby anery corn snake for my 12th birthday. I named him Lloyd and promptly set up a bare bones habitat. From this point on, my obsession would only grow. I watched an insane amount of YouTube videos about snakes, eventually branching out into other reptiles. I researched every species I could, upgraded Lloyd's habitat, visited every reptile event I could, talked about snakes constantly, and drew snakes in class all the time. I got a hognose snake named Algernon when I was 14, but he unfortunately died from cancer a year later. I later got a crested gecko named Milton at a reptile expo when I was 16, a hognose snake named Agnes at a reptile store when I was 17, a Kenyan sand boa named Bartholomew and a gold dust day gecko named Archibald at a reptile expo when I was 18, and a giant day gecko named Alexander from Craigslist when I was 18. They are my absolute favorite category of animal and my passion for them is evident to anyone who ever talks to me. I am forever obsessed with them and hope my collection continues to grow. Reptiles are the most gorgeous, adorable, fun, and interesting creatures I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Thank you, Lloyd, for starting it all.

Steven Universe - My friend first recommended Steven Universe to me when I was 11. I watched a couple of episodes, but didn't really like it and didn't look into it any more. Years later when I was 17, my favorite YouTuber Athena P talked a lot about how good the show was and I thought I might as well give it another try. After suffering through the messy first half of season 1, the show finally connected with me, and I was obsessed. I shared it with my sister after I finished the show and she loved it too. I couldn't stop thinking about it and talking about it to everyone I met. I made my own gemsona, read and wrote a huge amount of fanfiction, drew fanart, joined the subreddit, and started consuming all the content I could relating to it. I absolutely love Steven Universe. It's gorgeous, simple, complex, comforting, emotional, hilarious, and overall an incredibly well-made masterpiece. It connected with me in the deepest possible way and helped me learn a couple of new things about myself. Something about the way these silly little rock characters are written has me in a chokehold, and this show will always have a special place in my heart because of it.

A Clockwork Orange - This interest has developed fairly recently, but I can already tell it's going to last a while. I discovered the movie when I was reading the Wikipedia page for the movie rating system and saw that a movie called "A Clockwork Orange" used to be rated X. I was intrigued and frightened by this idea, so I read the page for the movie and found it fascinating. I first watched the movie on April 3rd, got so hooked I had to watch it again immediately afterwards, and have since logged it 60 times on Letterboxd. I have also read the book, looked at numerous fanfictions, watched countless analysis videos, drew some rudimentary fanart, and am currently writing a couple fanfictions myself. I cannot explain why this movie captivates me so. It's dark, spry, unflinching, twisted, unique, iconic, humorous, intelligent, beautiful, hypnotic, perfectly shot, and of course, ultraviolent. But it's not the violence that captures me, which a lot of people I tell about the movie seem to misunderstand. This makes it my most controversial current special interest. I also love the book almost as much as the movie, with the exception of that goofy ahh ending. Ultimately, a wonderful piece of media that I can't look away from, no matter how hard I try.

“Undercurrent” interests: I define these as interests that didn't quite make the cut for special interests, but are still more dear to me than a regular interest. I don't constantly interact with them, but they are always in the background of my mind.

Travel advisories - These are the advisories posted by the U.S. Department of State on which countries are safe to travel to. They are organized by Levels 1, 2, 3, and 4, and each country is given reasoning for the safety rating. I got obsessed with reading all the advisories on the site starting at age 16. I even memorized each country and and made a Google Doc color-coding all of the countries by level. I've noticed a common theme with many of my interests, which is that I love anything that can be categorized. That's why learning about these advisories is super fun and addictive to me.

Product recalls - This is somewhat related to my advertising interest. Starting at age 7, I loved watching law firm commercials alerting consumers about product recalls. This interest continued on because I found it so fascinating. Now I look up recall commercials on YouTube and stay on top of new product recalls using Google. They are categorized by level of severity and released to the public in a variety of ways. I don't know why they give me so much dopamine, but they're so fun to watch.

Commercials - This isn't my most intense interest, but it's definitely my most long-lasting one. According to my mom, I loved commercials even as a young toddler, and that love has continued to this day. Whereas most autistic people seem to be less susceptible to ads than normal, I am extremely susceptible to them and love to analyze why a commercial is persuasive. I can't even explain why I like them so much. They're just incredibly fun and pleasurable to me, to the point that watching them feels like I'm on crack. When I was younger, I used to memorize and quote commercials all the time, record infomercials on the DVR, and even film my own commercials with my mom's phone. They will always have a special place in my heart, and they're the reason I want to seek a career in advertising.

Passports - I became obsessed with the designs and rankings of world passports at age 17. Unfortunately, the only online communities for passports are about sexist "passport bros." Thankfully, I can enjoy the beauty of passports outside of those communities. I was thrilled to get my first official passport and stared at it for hours. My favorite websites about passports are the ones that line them up by color so you can click on information about them. I wasted so much school time looking at that site...

Rollercoasters - I have been fascinated with the workings of rollercoasters since I was 6 years old. The different types of coasters, lifts, and restraint systems are just so cool! The weird thing is that I'm kind of mixed on riding them, since a lot of them are extremely fun, but some of them are scary. But the topic of how they work and how they're put together is so fascinating. My favorite coasters are The Rattler and the Incredicoaster.

Dæmonism - This is the practice of creating a sentient mental animal companion inspired by the dæmons in the book series His Dark Materials. When I was 13, I read the book series and became obsessed with it, but especially the aspect of dæmons. I found a specific Amino community for dæmons with instructions on how to create/find your own. So at one windy spring track practice, I found my own dæmon. He appeared as a sunbeam snake I named Sisyphus and we started talking. We talked every day and grew incredibly close, and we are still incredibly close to this day. He tried out many forms and now appears as a marbled polecat. I plan to talk more about dæmonism on my sideblog @daemonforest!

James Bond - This one was almost a special interest, but I feel like I can't call it that since I haven't seen all of the movies and don't like some of them. I also haven't read most of the books and don't like the ones I have read. With that said, I absolutely love James Bond, and I have ever since I was 14. The action is actually interesting and gripping most of the time, the villains and their plots are so cartoonish, the music slaps, the jokes are good, the Bond girls are sometimes cool, and of course there's James Bond, the titular bitchular himself. He's cool, charismatic, mysterious, clever, fun to watch, and overall iconic. My favorite movies are Dr. No, You Only Live Twice, Casino Royale, and Skyfall. My favorite Bond actors are Sean Connery, Daniel Craig, and Timothy Dalton.

Star Trek - Another that just barely edged out of the special interest category. Similar to my James Bond interest, I feel I can't truly claim it as a special interest since I haven't seen all of the shows and don't like some of them. All the same, I absolutely love Star Trek, especially The Next Generation. I first watched it when I was 16 and fell in love with it. It's intelligent, beautiful, and engaging, with many thought-provoking concepts explored through complex and lovable characters. My favorite characters are Data, Spock (all iterations), Uhura, Picard, Janeway, Elnor, Seven of Nine, and Tuvok. My favorite shows are The Next Generation, The Original Series, Voyager, Strange New Worlds, and Picard. My favorite episodes are The Offspring, Silicon Avatar, The Inner Light, Patterns of Force, The Trouble With Tribbles, Subspace Rhapsody, Tuvix, Deadlock, and The Void. I'm currently making my own Star Trek fan story/comic using anthropomorphic cats.

Current hyperfixations: I define a hyperfixation as something that grabs my interest with extreme intensity, but for short periods of time. Upon getting into something, I can immediately tell whether it's going to be long-lasting or not.

Ball pythons - This falls under the category of reptiles, but ball pythons specifically are a hyperfixation right now because I'm getting 2 of them on June 7th. Since last week, I have been researching everything I can about them and talking about them to everyone within earshot.

PVC pipe fittings - This became a hyperfixation last month after my dad asked me to rebuild his sprinkler system with him. We had to work with PVC pipes a lot and they instantly fascinated me, specifically the pipe fittings. Googling pictures of them gives me immense joy.

Past special interests: Interests that used to intensely dominate my life, but no longer do. Even after an interest stops being a special interest, I never lose it. It just becomes a regular interest instead (with the exception of problematic interests I try to get rid of).

Lalaloopsy - My mom bought me my first Lalaloopsy at age 5. From that point on, I was obsessed. I collected over a hundred minifigures, constantly lined them up and played with them, made up my own Lalaloopsy OCs, watched the cartoon, played the minigames, and even bought the collector's guide so I could circle all the ones I wanted. My interest started to wane at age 11, but I am still very fond of them.

Harry Potter - Yeah, this one didn't age too well. My mom read me the first book at age 8 and I was hooked. I quickly devoured the entire series, watched all the movies, collected a bunch of merch and side books, watched those mid Fantastic Beasts movies, visited the theme park, played the Scene It game a thousand times, read a ton of fanfiction, and even made up a self-insert character who I wrote fanfiction about and shipped with Harry. My interest started to wane at age 16 because of JK Rowling's transphobia. I actually knew about it at age 15, but didn't care because I was kind of transphobic myself at the time. But as I mentally matured and realized I was being a dickwad, I realized I couldn't continue this interest because it would only support her. So I still reread the books occasionally despite their problematic content, but I have joined many people in officially renouncing the franchise and refusing to talk about it (outside of this post, of course). Fuck JKR.

Cats - Cats were my favorite animal starting when I was a baby. We've had a least one cat my entire childhood (our current one is named Tiberius) and they have always captivated me. We had an informational book about cats that I would go through and circle all my favorite cat breeds. I'm not as obsessed with them anymore, but I still love them dearly.

Ninjago - When I was about 11 years old, I saw the Lego Ninjago movie in theaters. My best friend at the time introduced me to the original Lego Ninjago show and despite the rough first season, I was hooked. I was especially interested in Lloyd and developed a crush on him, eventually naming my first pet snake after him. I watched every episode, collected a bunch of the Lego sets, made a Minecraft skin of Lloyd as an NPC, made fanart, Warrior Cats crossover fanfiction, and even smut fanfiction shipping Lloyd with Kai and Legolas from Lord of the Rings. Unfortunately, it really fell off in season 8 and the spinoff show looks terrible, so I only watch it occasionally now. But it was a good form of bonding with my friend and my sister, and I had a lot of fun with it while the interest lasted.

Warrior Cats - I consider this distinct from my cat interest because it's a specific series, but it was just as intense. My mom got me Into the Wild for my 10th birthday because her siblings loved the series, and I instantly fell in love with it. I read all of the books that were out at the time, including many manga and super editions, wrote copious fanfiction, drew even more fanart, made my own OC, and even made a second OC after I outgrew that one. The second OC, Snakestar, was made when I was 12, and she is still my main OC/fursona to this day. I'm not as obsessed with the series anymore and haven't kept up with the last few arcs, but I still enjoy rereading the books and using my current Warriorsona.

Wings of Fire - I got into this series when I saw my friend at the time reading one of the books on a church road trip when we were 12. I asked to borrow it, but I was pretty confused since it was the third book in the series. However, I still really enjoyed it and decided to draw the dragons like my friend did. They were a lot better at art than me, but we still had fun drawing together. I made quite a few fan tribes and character designs before reading the rest of the series, including one main dragonsona I drew excessively. When I was 14, I finally read the rest of the books since my sister was reading them in school and loved them. I now own all of the books, graphic novels, and drawing books. I also made an updated OC, a lot of art, and a lot of fanfiction. I still love the series, just not as intensely as before.

Past (hyper)fixations: Hyperfixations are transient by nature, and these are the numerous subjects I used to hyperfixate on but no longer do. Even after I stop hyperfixating on something, I never lose interest in it – it just becomes a milder regular interest. Because there are so many, I'll just write the age I got into each one.

Sea cucumbers (12), chameleons (10), microbes (5), Arthur (8), World War 2 (13), Armin Meiwes case (16), Rasputin (13), 9/11 (16), Everywhere at the End of Time (14), dog attacks (14), rare dog breeds (12), liminal spaces (16), Minecraft (8-14, but the hyperfixation hit when I was 9), Everlost (12), The Count of Monte Cristo (11), catalogs (12), furry fandom (15), lucid dreaming (15/16), Glorb (17), oud (17), graffiti (18), PSAs (16), sex toys (18), cocaine (18. NEVER AGAIN, COKE KILLS.), website data breaches (18).

Other: Things I didn't know how to categorize. They're not exactly special interests or hyperfixations since I don't think about them or interact with them a lot, but they are extremely present in my life.

Pompompurin - I became obsessed with this little yellow dog guy on my trip to Japan when I was 16. There was merch of him everywhere, and I quickly bought everything I could that featured him. Now I have numerous stuffed animals, keychains, pins, minifigures, purses, stickers, clothing articles, and even a giant 3 foot tall Build-a-Bear of him.

The color green - This has been my favorite color since I was about 12 years old. I know everyone has a favorite color, but autistic people seem to get a bit more intense about their favorite colors than other people. Basically, if I can get something in the color green, I will, and it has taken over my entire life. My favorite shades are dark green, sage green, and mint green. It's so comforting to me.

Whew, that was a lot of infodumping! If you somehow read this entire thing, thank you so much! I didn't really expect anyone to read it since I wrote it mostly for my benefit. Have some pizza while you're here 🍕

💚 Thanks for reading! 💚

"How Technology is Changing the Way We Learn"

In the past few years, there has been a sudden rise in the use of technology in various aspects of life, especially in education. With the increasing availability of digital tools and online resources, students now have more access to more information and learning opportunities than ever before. This shift has significantly changed the way we students study, collaborate, and comprehend academic content. As a Senior High School STEM student, I’ve witnessed firsthand how technology has shaped our academic journey throughout the years. Here are various reasons why technology is changing the way we learn.

1. Access to Various Sources

Back in the earlier days, the library was the primary source of information. The library was a haven not just for bookworms, but for students who needed help with their homework. The library had a collection of books that were full of specific information that assisted students in finding answers, solutions, definitions, and terms needed for their homework. Growing up in Gen Z like myself as a STEM student relies much more on technology nowadays than a physical library because with a touch of a smartphone or a click of a computer, you now have access to different websites that contain the information you need, especially when you need to conduct a research study, which most students use Google Scholar.

2. Interactive Learning Tools

Textbooks are no longer the only tools we use to learn. Interactive apps, simulations, and educational games have become commonplace in many classrooms. As a STEM student, I’ve experienced how these tools make learning more engaging. Apps like Khan Academy offer interactive courses in math, physics, and computer science, breaking down complex topics into bite-sized lessons with visual aids.

Platforms like Quizizz display flashcards that could help students enhance their active recall, memorizing, and understanding of the concepts easily because of the quiz game it offers.

3. Collaboration in Real-Time

One of the biggest changes technology has brought to education is the ability to collaborate in real-time, regardless of any location in the world. Platforms like Google Docs, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom have been helping students ever since the Covid-19 pandemic struck. During the pandemic, remote learning platforms became essential for continuing education. Even though many students faced challenges with online learning, these platforms provided a way for education to continue without interruption all thanks to the implementation of Online Classes. Now, blended learning—combining in-person and online education—is becoming the norm, offering more flexibility for both teachers and students.

4. Personalized Learning

Every student learns differently, and technology is helping cater to these individual learning styles. Adaptive learning platforms use algorithms to tailor lessons to each student’s needs. If you’re struggling with a particular topic, these platforms adjust the difficulty and provide extra support until you grasp the concept. Tools like Duolingo and Grammarly, which offer students language and grammar support are just a few examples of how technology provides customized learning experiences.

For us STEM students, this is particularly helpful, especially when using Grammarly for a research project. Using Platforms like Grammarly helps correct revisable sentences and paragraphs easily in one click, providing less effort and less time-consuming for us students.

5. Preparation for the Future

Technology isn’t just transforming education for the present; it’s also preparing students for the future. As technology like AI and Programming evolves, we students could resort to learning skills like coding, and learning the different types of programming languages so that we could adjust to the evolving technology all around us.

6. The Potential Downsides

While technology has brought us numerous benefits, it’s important to acknowledge the challenges and disadvantages it presents. Overreliance on technology can often lead to distractions, with social media and games constantly thriving for attention. Furthermore, the concept of Technology and its use remains a problem in many parts of the world, where students lack access to the necessary tools and internet connectivity to fully benefit from online learning resources.

[my-autism-adhd-blog]

Hi so I’m an incoming freshman I have autism and ADHD I was wondering do you have any tips for high school specifically for people with autism and ADHD like me? Thank you for your time!!

Hi there,

It’s been out of school since 2015, so I’m rusty with tips. However I did find one article listing 12 tips that might help:

1. You don’t need ONE study space.

A well-stocked desk in a quiet place at home is key, but sometimes you need variety. Coffee shops, libraries, parks, or even just moving to the kitchen table will give you a change of scenery which can prompt your brain to retain information better.

2. Track more than HW in your school planner.

Keeping a calendar helps you plan ahead—but you’ve got more going on than just homework assignments! Make sure you’re marking your extracurricular, work, and social commitments, too. (Tests, band practice, away games, SAT dates, half-days and holidays are just a few examples of reminders for your planner.)

3. Start small.

If you’ve got a big assignment looming, like a research paper, stay motivated by completing a piece of the project every few days. Write one paragraph each night. Or, do 5 algebra problems from your problem set at a time, and then take a break.

4. School supplies (alone) don’t make you organized.

Come up with a system and keep to it. Do you keep one big binder for all your classes with color-coded tabs? Or do you prefer to keep separate notebooks and a folder for handouts? Keep the system simple—if it’s too fancy or complicated, you are less likely to keep it up everyday.

5. Get into a routine.

When will you make the time to do your homework every day? Find the time of day that works best for you (this can change day-to-day, depending on your schedule!), and make a plan to hit the books.

6. Learn how to create a distraction-free zone.

A study on workplace distractions found that it takes workers an average of 25 minutes to return to what they were working on pre-interruption. Try turning off your phone notifications or blocking Twitter (temporarily) on your computer so you can concentrate on the homework tasks at hand.

7. Get real.

When you’re looking at the homework you have to get done tonight, be realistic about how long things actually take. Gauging that reading a history chapter will take an hour and writing a response will take another 30 minutes will help you plan how you spend your time.

8. Use class time wisely.

Is your teacher finished lecturing, but you still have 10 minutes of class left? Get a jump on your chemistry homework while it’s still fresh in your mind. Or use the time to ask your teacher about concepts that were fuzzy the first time.

9. Look over your notes each night to make sure you've got it.

Fill in details, edit the parts that don’t make sense, and star or highlight the bits of information that you know are most important. Interacting with your notes will help you remember them. You can also use Homework Help to get your questions answered 24/7.

10. Study a little every day.

Cramming Spanish vocabulary for a quiz might work in the short-term, but when comes time to study for midterms, you’ll be back at square 1. You might remember the vocab list long enough to ace the quiz, but reviewing the terms later will help you store them for the long haul.

11. Don’t let a bad grade keep you down.

A rough start to the semester doesn’t have to sink your GPA. Take proactive steps by checking your grades regularly online and getting a tutor if you need one.

12. Make a friend in every class.

Find a few people you can contact from each of your classes if you have a homework question or had to miss class (and do the same for them!).  Then when it comes time to study for exams, you'll already have a study group.

The article will be below:

I hope this helps. Thank you for the inbox. I hope you have a wonderful day/night. ♥️

Madrid Week 2: Taking Time

Hola a todxs! Niko here again, back for week 2 of studying abroad in Madrid. This week felt nearly as long as my first one in the city. Class started on Monday. Thankfully, schoolwork has been pretty light thus far, so I’ve had the spare energy and time to focus on adjusting to the new schedule, commute, and teaching/class style at UC3M, all while attempting to make new friends with Spanish, American, and International students from across Europe (and Oceania!). Also, I took a weekend trip to Granada in the southern region of Andalucía — more on that later.

SCHOOL STUFF (ACADEMICS?!)

With the first week now under my belt, I wanted to quickly touch on my academic experience so far in Spain. This semester, I’m taking a Spanish language class for international students, and three classes in English for a both national and international students: “Social groups and their cultural imaginaries” (a mix between philosophy and culture, INTERHUM 300 equivalent), “Materials Science and Engineering” (MATSCI 220 Equivalent), and “Databases and Structures” (EECS 400 Level Equivalent). Given that I pass 🙏, all of these classes should count towards my degrees (aerospace engineering major, international minor for engineers, computer science minor).

School at UC3M is quite different than it is in the states. Most notably, the grading system is unfamiliar. At Michigan, a big emphasis is put on required assignments that are due throughout the semester — homeworks, problem sets, mini projects, etc.. These required assignments force students to continuously engage with the content, which I feel improves focus and learning (if the assignments are completed with the right intention). At Carlos III, the final exam constitutes 60% of the final grade for the vast majority of classes, with the remaining 40% of “continuous assessment” depending on things like in-class quizzes and one-off assignments.

With no homework to keep me on track, I’m gonna have to pay close attention to make sure my classes don’t fall to the wayside with all of the 1,000,000 other distractions in Madrid (and Europe) vying for my attention. I’ve already decided to switch one class (Neural Networks) because I thought it would require a level of effort that I simply wasn’t prepared to put in while I’m abroad with bigger priorities than school (namely, exploration, self growth, meeting people, etc.).

This is a shift in itself that I’m going to have to get used to — for my entire life, performing well in school has been at the top of my list. However, while in Spain, all I need to do is pass (get a 5/10, 50% overall) for my credits to transfer with no effect on my GPA, so that’s what I’m shooting for now. I’m certain that this will cause some internal conflict (e.g.: a 60% on [x] quiz?! Oh no!!! tbh math 216 already got me over those bad grades tho lol) when things start to pick up, but I guess we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. 

ON RELATIONSHIPS

Going into my study abroad experience, my biggest goal was to understand the culture of Madrid & Spain from a local point of view. I knew from studying in Buenos Aires that living in a different city can be a much more enriching experience than touring it for vacation, so long as I put in the effort. A big part of that goal was to make friends with people local to Madrid, along with other Americans*/ International students who shared that same mindset. I think that in explicitly setting this goal, I inadvertently put a lot of pressure on myself to make all these friends really quickly, in an environment and language I’m unfamiliar with, all while trying to adjust to and internalize a major lifestyle shift.

As a result, I think that — up until this week — this self-imposed pressure gave me unnecessary anxiety that inhibited me from being my true self. I spent time worrying about whether the Spanish students in my class would like me, if my Spanish was good enough to communicate with them, if they would judge me for being an American, how soon I should message the new person I met in the cafeteria so I wouldn’t appear too clingy… the list goes on. I was stressing and strategizing to make friends, when the best strategy is always to just be myself.

This is a lesson I’ve learned during my transition to Michigan, but being implanted into a new environment and University gave me a bit of a factory reset. I had to remind myself that I’ve only been here for 2.5 weeks. Directing my attention inwards instead of outwards will enable me to be fully present (and able to overcome the initial discomfort of making new relationships [see week 1 for discussion on discomfort]) when people that I can click with inevitably come along. Through this process, I’ll undoubtedly develop a stronger relationship with myself and increased comfort being alone, which is another personal goal of mine.

Funnily enough, that’s how things started to turn out in the second half of the first week. When I caught myself overthinking and was able to redirect my focus, I slowly started to reach out and become more friendly with some of the Spanish students in my culture class, and I met a group of Spaniards by chance that I really vibe with at the club on a Wednesday (oops, sorry it’s syllabus week :P ). Simultaneously, I’ve begun to get closer to some fellow American study abroad students. By no means have I found the perfect group of friend-soulmates that I’ll proceed to travel and experience Europe with for the rest of my 17 weeks in Spain, but that wasn’t something that I was ever expecting, anyways. Moving forward, I’m going to do my best to avoid resisting flow, always assuming positive intent to keep myself open to new interactions (check out what I mean by this by watching this video clip from a speech Mark Rober gave at the MIT graduation, I highly recommend the whole video), all the while prioritizing my own peace and happiness.

This weekend, I also visited Granada, a small town in the south of Spain famous for its Moorish influence and the incredible La Alhambra palace nestled in its hills. I might cover the trip in more detail next week, I guess we’ll see… but it was a beautiful weekend filled with beautiful architecture, beautiful sunsets, and great company. Per usual, check out the photo captions for some more context.

Until next week :)

*A LONG ASIDE ON THE WORD “AMERICAN”, for context & completeness

I would like to be clear about my use of the word "American". In English, there is no succinct way to say “Person from the United States of America”, unlike other nationalities (Spaniard, Argentinian, Norwegian, etc). American is the best word that we have. However, in conversations about US culture with people from other countries, I’ve been met with a similar critique in multiple instances (both with Europeans and South Americans). The Americas include the entire continent of North America and South America, which encompasses a huge variety of countries, cultures, and nationalities. When saying the word “American” while describing a person from the United States, we are inadvertently reinforcing the narrative that the United States is the most significant country across both continents and thus more righteously deserves the blanket term “American” over any other country in the region.

This conclusion is obviously more nuanced than what I’ve stated. The United States of America uses the word “America” in its name, which is likely where this blanket term came from. Also, I don’t think that the perpetuation of this US-centric language is due to intentional individual action, but rather a result of complicated cultural and etymological phenomena which I don’t have a comprehensive understanding of.

I won’t stop saying American in these blogs — primarily because saying “person from the United States” each time would likely distract from the points I'm trying to make — but I felt that an acknowledgement of this common criticism was important. In Spanish, Estados Unidos = United States, and US citizens are more precisely described as “Estadounidenses” (although the word “Americano” is still commonly used). When introducing myself to people from other countries, I always do my best to use the most precise language possible when referring to my nationality, which is one of the many ways I practice cultural humility. Stay tuned for another blog sometime this semester about how I go about practicing cultural humility, something that I think is very important for Americans who come from one of the most — if not the most — influential countries on earth (something that has also become apparent through my conversations).

C++ Quiz Challenge: Test Your Programming Prowess! Are you confident in your C++ programming skills? Whether you're preparing for a technical interview or simply want to test your knowledge, this comprehensive quiz will challenge your understanding of essential C++ concepts. Let's dive into ten carefully crafted questions that every developer should be able to answer. 1. Smart Pointer Fundamentals Consider this code snippet: cppCopystd::unique_ptr ptr1(new int(42)); std::unique_ptr ptr2 = ptr1; What happens when you try to compile and execute this code? More importantly, why? The above code will fail to compile. This exemplifies one of the fundamental principles of unique_ptr: it cannot be copied, only moved. This restriction ensures single ownership semantics, preventing multiple pointers from managing the same resource. To transfer ownership, you would need to use std::move: cppCopystd::unique_ptr ptr2 = std::move(ptr1); 2. The Virtual Destructor Puzzle Let's examine this inheritance scenario: cppCopyclass Base public: ~Base() ; class Derived : public Base public: Derived() resource = new int[1000]; ~Derived() delete[] resource; private: int* resource; ; int main() Base* ptr = new Derived(); delete ptr; Is there a potential issue here? If so, what's the solution? This code contains a subtle but dangerous memory leak. When we delete through a base class pointer, if the destructor isn't virtual, only the base class destructor is called. The solution is to declare the base class destructor as virtual: cppCopyvirtual ~Base() 3. Template Metaprogramming Challenge Can you spot what's unique about this factorial implementation? cppCopytemplate struct Factorial static const unsigned int value = N * Factorial::value; ; template struct Factorial static const unsigned int value = 1; ; This demonstrates compile-time computation using template metaprogramming. The factorial is calculated during compilation, not at runtime, resulting in zero runtime overhead. This technique is particularly useful for optimizing performance-critical code. 4. The const Conundrum What's the difference between these declarations? cppCopyconst int* ptr1; int const* ptr2; int* const ptr3; This question tests understanding of const placement: const int* and int const* are equivalent: pointer to a constant integer int* const is different: constant pointer to an integer Remember: read from right to left, const applies to what's immediately to its left (or right if nothing's to the left). 5. Rule of Five Implementation Modern C++ emphasizes the "Rule of Five." What five special member functions should you consider implementing? The Rule of Five states that if you implement any of these, you typically need all five: Destructor Copy constructor Copy assignment operator Move constructor Move assignment operator Here's a practical example: cppCopyclass ResourceManager public: ~ResourceManager(); // Destructor ResourceManager(const ResourceManager&); // Copy constructor ResourceManager& operator=(const ResourceManager&); // Copy assignment ResourceManager(ResourceManager&&) noexcept; // Move constructor ResourceManager& operator=(ResourceManager&&) noexcept; // Move assignment ; 6. Lambda Expression Mastery What will this code output? cppCopyint multiplier = 10; auto lambda = [multiplier](int x) return x * multiplier; ; multiplier = 20; std::cout

TOP 5 SOCIAL MEDIA APP EVERY STUDENT SHOULD BE USEING 2025.

In the ever-evolving digital world, social media has become more than just a tool for sharing selfies and memes. For students, it's a dynamic space that fosters learning, collaboration, networking, and personal development. While there’s no shortage of social media platforms available today, choosing the right ones can be challenging. To help, we’ve compiled a list of the top 5 social media apps every student should be using in 2025 — not just for entertainment, but for education, growth, and staying connected.

1. LinkedIn: Your Professional Launchpad

Why It Matters to Students:

LinkedIn may not be the first app that comes to mind when thinking about social media, but it’s an absolute game-changer for students preparing for life after graduation. It’s a professional networking platform where students can build a digital resume, connect with industry professionals, and explore internships and job opportunities.

Key Features for Students:

Professional Profile Creation: Think of it as your digital resume. You can highlight your education, certifications, skills, and projects.

Networking: Connect with classmates, alumni, professors, and professionals from your dream companies.

Job Search: Use LinkedIn’s job search tool to find internships and entry-level positions tailored to your career interests.

LinkedIn Learning: Offers free and paid courses on everything from coding to public speaking.

Student Tip:

Start building your LinkedIn profile in your first year of college. Share your accomplishments and engage in meaningful content to grow your network over time.

2. Instagram: Visual Inspiration Meets Creativity

Why It Matters to Students:

Instagram is still one of the most influential platforms among students in 2025. While it’s popular for sharing photos and reels, it’s also a hub for student communities, educational creators, influencers, and even university pages that keep you updated on events and opportunities.

Key Features for Students:

Instagram Reels & Stories: Great for micro-learning, quick tips, and following student influencers who share useful hacks and content.

Study Pages: Many students create or follow studygrams — pages dedicated to study tips, motivation, and productivity.

Group Chats: Use Instagram DMs to create study groups or collaborate on college events.

Live Sessions: Many educators and mentors host Q&A sessions, tutorials, and discussions on trending topics.

Student Tip:

Curate your feed to follow creators that motivate and educate you — don’t let it become just a scrolling trap.

3. Discord: The Ultimate Study + Hangout App

Why It Matters to Students:

Discord started as a platform for gamers, but today it’s become one of the most versatile apps for students. Whether you want to set up a study server, hang out with classmates, or participate in niche academic communities, Discord makes it seamless.

Key Features for Students:

Servers & Channels: Create or join servers focused on topics like computer science, literature, design, or any subject of interest.

Voice & Video Chat: Host real-time study sessions, group calls, or virtual hangouts.

Screen Sharing: Useful for group projects, collaborative coding, or solving problems together.

Bots and Tools: Integrate productivity bots like Pomodoro timers, to-do lists, and quiz bots.

Student Tip:

Use Discord to form small study pods with classmates — it’s less formal than Zoom and often more productive.

4. YouTube: Your On-Demand University

Why It Matters to Students:

YouTube remains one of the best educational platforms available — for free. Whether you’re stuck on calculus or curious about marketing trends, you can find channels dedicated to your subject with in-depth tutorials and easy-to-understand explanations.

Key Features for Students:

Diverse Content: From 2-minute concept reviews to full lecture playlists.

YouTube Shorts: Bite-sized educational content ideal for quick revisions.

Live Classes and Webinars: Many educators and experts host free live sessions.

Channel Memberships: Some channels offer exclusive resources, Q&A sessions, and downloadable study materials.

Popular Student-Friendly Channels (2025):

Ali Abdaal (study tips and productivity)

CrashCourse (academic subjects)

Fireship (for computer science and tech)

Khan Academy (math, science, and more)

Student Tip:

Create custom playlists for each subject or topic to organize your revision and tutorials efficiently.

5. Reddit: Your Anonymous Learning Ally

Why It Matters to Students:

Reddit may not have the glitz of Instagram or the professionalism of LinkedIn, but it’s an underrated gem for students who want honest advice, community support, and in-depth discussions. It’s where students go when they want unfiltered opinions, answers, and academic camaraderie.

Key Features for Students:

Subreddits: Join communities like r/college, r/AskAcademia, r/engineeringstudents, or r/gradadmissions.

Ask Anything: Get real answers to questions about course selection, studying abroad, mental health, or life hacks.

Resource Sharing: Find links to books, study materials, and open-access journals.

AMAs (Ask Me Anything): Participate in Q&A sessions with professors, professionals, and grad students.

Student Tip:

Use Reddit with discretion — while it’s great for community insight, verify facts before taking action on serious academic or career decisions.

Honorable Mentions

While the above five are our top picks, here are a few others that can still be extremely useful depending on your goals:

X (formerly Twitter): Great for following academic professionals and university accounts.

Telegram: Offers large group chats and channels for notes, books, and exam updates.

TikTok: Educational creators are growing fast here, though it requires self-discipline to avoid endless scrolling.

Final Thoughts: Making Social Media Work for You

Social media can be both a distraction and a superpower — the difference lies in how you use it. The platforms listed above are transforming the student experience in ways we couldn’t have imagined a decade ago. From getting career guidance on LinkedIn to learning physics on YouTube or joining a coding community on Discord, there’s something out there for every learner.

Pro Tips for Healthy Social Media Use:

Set time limits for scrolling apps to stay productive.

Use notifications wisely — turn off non-essential alerts.

Follow accounts that add value to your academic and personal goals.

Take regular digital detox breaks to refresh your mind.

In 2025, being digitally smart is just as important as being book smart. So, take control of your social media, align it with your student goals, and let these platforms help you grow, learn, and connect.

Week 5: Hell Time!

I just finished our Wednesday morning class and quiz, and it was absolute hell! I made sure to prepare since it covered a lot of subtopics from Topics 1 and 2, but I didn’t expect the quiz to be so situational; barely anything from the lessons actually came out.

My groupmates (Rona, Edrian, Kuya Ian, and Lompia) and I couldn’t help but laugh at our scores since they were in sequence—13, 14, 15, 17 out of 28 on Part 1 of the quiz. But then Part 2 came, and it was even worse than the first one! I definitely need to study harder next time because if this continues, my grade will surely be in the red.

Group Activity Time!

After submitting the Part 1 and 2 of the Quiz, we were immediately assigned with a group. I'm part of group 1 together with Veron, Reggie, and some classmates that I'm not familiar with. We were tasked to create a canva design of the scenario: Online bookstore and we were having quite a problem, THE PC WERE ALL NOT OPEN IN OUR AREA.

Due to how slow our computer was, we had to take a picture of the other group's screen just to see our task and get started.

We waited for several minutes before we could begin, but by then, we were already behind the other groups who had their PCs up and running. Fortunately, Sir Carl said we could submit the activity next time.

Thankfully, my groupmates are among the few responsible people I know, so we managed to create an initial system in Canva.
