Chronic illness is so discouraging…every time I have something important going on I get sick.

I wish I had a body that was able to keep up with me.

Kryptonite = Ecto-Ranium

Danny hated this green stones, they completely negated his powers and make him feel very weak. So as he finally had time to work on it in his intership in Gotham.

The reason he even found about it, was his parents playing with them and then getting Cancer from it. And started to blame ghost for it, Jazz took him after that away from them to Gotham. The stone had played on his development, he was fucking tiny because of that.

So while Jazz worked in Akrham as assistant psychologist, he took a internship in Wayne Enterprises.

This was how Tim and Kon meet him in the Lab, working on a bracelet while glaring at a Box. Then he put on the Bracelet on his wrist.

Conner had felt it on his body as Danny open the Box and Danny started to laugh in a soft joker way:"HAHAHA! You can't fucking hurt me anymore! Stupid stone!"

Tim helped Conner up after he closed the box:" Stupid Stone?"

Danny truly proud of what he was able to do:" Yes that stupid shit made me weak all the time, since my parents got it. And now i learned there are more i fixed the problem for me in the future!"

Tim and Conner looked at each other, only someone of Kryptonian blood should feel the effects of Kryptonite.

Tim:" Well Batman can't try to call Dibs on him." The fanfic that gave me the idea https://archiveofourown.org/works/45178483

Saturday, November 11th

Little time lapse of me catching up to my immuno class, and drafting a sociology response. I’ve been wildly unmotivated so I have soooo much to catch up on. Hopefully tomorrow is a more productive day.

Been a long long while since I posted. A lot happened meanwhile so, here's the update folks

I got an internship!!

So my study schedule has been a bit messy trying to squeeze in sessions here and there while traveling.

What's worse than an uncertain life is a stagnant one. This changed routine is a welcome treat.

working student's survival guide for life 👩‍💻💻📱

also my phone's colors are a little happier today, yay! 🌷

everyone tells you how to launch and advance within your career, but i haven't found a lot of advice about surviving the day to day that has actually consistently worked for me. so here are some tips and tricks i learned the hard way. none of them are a magic pill, but i hope it helps even a little bit ☺️ these are also not really limited to being a working student, adulting can be a pretty universal struggle 🙈

talk to a friend — preferably a friend who shares common hobbies rather than a shared career, location, etc. you don't have to be picky by any means!! i talk to friends who are in the same career, school, etc. all the time! i've just found that when i talk to friends who share hobbies, it eliminates stress so much more effectively because the topics tend to center around our shared hobby and i've never found out later that there was an ulterior motive for the friendship because it's all just for fun!

take lots of breaks — don't worry about appearing unproductive because your work will speak for itself. i used to have my butt pretty much glued to my chair from 9-5 and most days even beyond. now, i take breaks to exercise, read a fun book, complete my studies, sometimes even take a nap, and i get the same amount of work done!! of course, knowledge plays an important role and for a time, putting in those extra hours may even be necessary, but it should definitely not be treated as the gold standard!

get a hobby — this is closely tied to the first point, and no, watching TV doesn't count (unless you actively participate in the fandom by creating fanfic, gifs, etc.). it can be hard to find something that sticks. it can also be hard to accept that this is something fun that you can suck at. but don't give up!! try many things! try things you've already tried! and for the love of all good things, do not turn your hobbies into a side hustle!! (unless you also commit to having new hobbies outside of those)

you've probably already heard at least some of this before, in which case, consider this a friendly reminder — you got this! 💕

Unpaid internships are insane to me. "But you gain valuable experience" pal do you think this is minecraft? Hold up just lemme pull out my wallet rq and pay my bills with some hard earned xp and throw it at an enchantment table. Maybe food will magically appear in front of me. Fuck you

Snack preps for the week and a perfect recovery run around the faculty. Found a route that’s exactly 5k and starts/ends in front of my building!

old rheology notes; from my studygram

First day of my internship begins from tomorrow. I'm equally as excited as I am nervous. Hope it goes well!

The corporate vibe☕

So the first week of internship passed and it was a mix of excitement and nervousness, I'm still learning, there are things I'm good at, things that need improving, everyone around seem to be so much more smarter and invincible

*sighs*

A little overwhelmed but taking it one task at a time.

Tech Girlie Diaries: being the youngest and only female software engineer on the team

👄 honest stories/lessons only 💅

I just found out I'll get to mentor my first female intern at work and I'm so excited!!! It's so rare that we (not even just our team but the company as a whole) get female interns 🥺 which got me thinking about everything I want to impart to this bright, young mind ✨ since I was once in her shoes 🩰 just without a female mentor 😔 Don't get me wrong(!!), I love my mentors and every chance I get to work with them has been great — they're literally the best dudes I've ever met 🥲 but there are some ~tech girlie things~ that guys just... don't have to deal with in the same way.

Hopefully, if you're also a woman in tech or an ally, these can help you too ☺️ and please let me know in the comments/reblogs/dms/asks if there's anything else I might've missed that you think my mentee should know! ❤️

Unburden Yourself: you do not represent all women ♀️

When I first joined this company as an intern, I was only the second female intern they'd ever had and their first backend female intern. There were no backend female engineers. I felt like I had to constantly prove myself against these bros who seemed to eat, sleep, and breathe code.

But I quickly realized, through the consistent kindness and respect my male colleagues gave me, that it is not a competition (unless it's a bug-solving hackathon, in which case, all other teams can suck it 🍭😜) and no one thinks for a second that I am a representative token of my gender.

Unfortunately, this diversity-affirming culture is still not the case in all workplaces, so this is the Most Important Thing to remember: that you deserve to be treated kindly and with respect by your colleagues AND yourself, so don't settle for anything less! 💕

Take the Day: Care for Yourself First🥇

After finding out I took basically no holidays for a year, my manager at the time was appalled and granted me a month-long vacation (it was amazing). He then proceeded to (kindly) lecture me on the fact that I was no longer an intern and working full-time means making a conscious effort to Not Burn Out™️. My current manager still gives me well-meaning lectures to the same effect, so I guess I haven't really taken this lesson to heart yet?? 🙈 I'll give some examples from what I should've done instead 😂

If that time of the month is killing you and you're straight-up collapsing at your desk: TAKE THE DAY OFF

If your back and wrists are killing you to the point that you physically cannot sit and type: TAKE THE DAY WEEK OFF

If you have personal/family struggles you need to be fully present for: TAKE THE DAY WEEK MONTH OFF

... You get the idea.

Be Your Most Effective Self 🌷

My current manager (literally one of the strongest women I know) and I work well together even though (or maybe precisely because) we have completely different personalities. She is direct, serious, and very goal-oriented 🎯 I tend to take a softer approach, can be completely unserious, and more people/morale focused 🍒

When I was starting out, I really felt I had to be more like my current manager so that people would respect me and take me seriously 😳 That thought daunted me so much because it's totally opposite my natural personality. It wasn't until people started telling me that my personality was a big part of why people like working me and want me on their teams that I started to learn to play to my strengths 💪

Despite our differences, my manager and I are both effective engineers in our own ways ☺️

Good Girls Get What They Deserve 💸

I have been unashamedly aggressive about what I want in my career.

Worked my butt off 🍑 for 2 promotions in 2 years 🌟 when it usually takes twice the amount of time for both! 🏃‍♀️

Communicated my desire to move into management someday to gain more mentorship / project leadership roles and experience 🤓

Your own growth and trajectory is what you have the most control over. Sometimes that means taking a well-deserved break, other times that means hustling and negotiating and networking until you make your dreams a reality.

I've lost count of how many companies I've applied to before landing this job and how many mistakes I've needed to correct even in my current position! So sometimes too, maintaining control means realizing that when you are denied/fail to attain certain opportunities, it makes you available to attend to others that may even be better suited to you in the long-run! 🏃‍♀️

💌: Say it with me, ladies: 🕯️❤️ The new year will be my year! I got this! ❤️🕯️
