Anon Advice Asks - May 20

touch starved anon (new), thoughts anon sending a message to exam results anon, rainbow hearts anon, ace qpr anon (new), exam results anon

touch starved anon

Hi! I’m an anon already but I’m kinda shy to admit this as my other anon,

But, I think I’m touch starved? I don’t get the “feel good” endorphins when I hug my parents (usually because I’m not allowed to say no) but like, when my friends hug me and stuff it feels so lovely that I could cry. I don’t actually know how to be less surface level friends with my friends so I can stay stuff like this, but I really care about them all so much. I just want to hang out with them more. I just want to hug them more.

Hi!

I think the thing with touch is that like...it feels the nicest when it comes from people that you trust. So maybe it's that you trust your friends more than your parents? Which makes sense, seeing as the touch with your friends is a choice.

If you're not comfortable talking with your friends about it, remember that touch doesn't just have to be hugs! You can just sit close together, rest a head or hand on someone's shoulder, share a seat, link elbows, hold hands....that can all be platonic, and be physically grounding. Maybe try initiating some small touch and see how it's received? (pay attention to their reactions to make sure they're okay with it, obviously) You can also just ask "hey, can I have a hug?" without explaining the why. It's okay to ask for a hug :)

thoughts anon to exam results anon (slight TW...mentions of SI, unhealthy coping)

Hi Cas it's thoughts anon and I don't know if you even remember me but I'm writing about exam results anon

I think the exams they are referring to is the CBSE/ICSE Boards Examination for standards 10 and 12 (majorly Indian education boards) and I took the exams this year myself and the results came out 13th May. I was in tenth standard when I took the exams (like a sophomore, I think) and now I'm in eleventh (junior). And yes for us these exams are a pretty big deal (the twelfth standard ones are an even BIGGER deal). They, like, decide our future with no retakes or refunds. (I mean you can retake them... After a year of sitting with 10th standard students that are younger than you, learning the syllabus ALL OVER AGAIN and that's only if you fail... So.) The exams are designed to help you pass but the rest is your battle. Strangely though (as is the case with exam results anon) I got higher marks in subjects I'm not terribly good at and lower (than my usual grade) in my best subjects.

Also parents are pretty strict on this matter. My parents are different (my dad is non-existent and my mom is a college dropout). They literally expected me to fail lmao but no I got an average of 85 percent which isn't really good but I have to live with it now so :/

Anyway the situation is that parents in India are really strict about boards and it's like. Those numbers do define you. To a certain extent they define the love you receive from your family and your friends. If you get less than 80 percent then you're toast (ie you'll never get into good colleges and you'll basically never get a high-paying job) and if you FAIL... It could mean disownment. I've literally heard of people within my old school who offed themselves over these numbers but it was all covered up in the news as 'mysterious but tragic deaths'. I know. It's fucked up. It's a horrible reality. The exams themselves are simple but high stakes (like I said, they help you pass but passing is not all that matters) so there is a LOT of toxicity within the existing society about getting good grades.

There are only two types of parents in this aspect. The kind who pressurize their kids to an unholy they-can-barely-keep-up-with-it degree (like hitting and shouting at them and pushing them into too many private tuitions) and the ones who don't (because of work and all that) but wish they did. They pin their frustrations on their kids and say cruel things in the heat of the moment and you can see it, in real time, that those words register in their heads and they will remember it forever. Exam results anon seems like a pretty good student from what I can tell and they don't deserve what their mother is telling them. Feeling like everyone would be better off without your existence is something I understand. Feeling like your mother should have a better child is also something I get. For advice the only thing I've really done about my nastier emotions is shove it way down but I don't think that's very helpful (as advice but in practicality it works really well) so I'm just sending them love and support!

Hi! This is so kind of you <3 And wow....this absolutely sucks and I feel like the way people approach this isn't healthy at all...I can't imagine the pressure. And the fact that PARENTS act like this...it's frustrating. I get that there's a societal and cultural aspect involved, but I can;t imagine pushing a kid that hard.

I get what you mean about the tests being so high-stakes, but I do want to stick with my opinion that you are worth so much more than a test score. It's awful that people don't act that way, but as a PERSON, you are so much more.

Don't bottle up your emotions, though! Please talk about them <3 Vent in my inbox if you need to!

rainbow hearts anon

Hi cas rainbow hearts anon here! You were 100% correct with me needing a space to vent and yes I sorta do know that it will get better so I'm just really holding on for when that day comes. About the talking to someone I have thought about talking to our school counselor but I tried to earlier in the year for other issues (ik my life is so easy and problemfree) but it just ended with them telling me they would call me later and they never did and I went like three times. And he's also just really focused on the people he already knows and people he's talked to since forever so it's just another place where I feel like I don't fit so I've sorta removed that as an option unless I'm really desperate and feel like I absolutely need it. I've been doing a bit better since I sent the ask obviously none of my problems have gone away but I'm in the part of the cycle where I just had a breakdown and am now ready for more stuff to hold onto untill I eventually break again. But fun stuff now because my life isn't really all that bad my friends want to go to the fair and they invited me to go so I'm super happy but at the same time not because it is 35 dollars and I wanted to give more money to my mom or use it to buy their presents but I think I'm just going to go to the fair and give my mom some of my birthday money. And while I'm on that topic my birthday is like a month away and I am sooooo excited because I will finally get my hair dyed purple which has been my dream since forever so I'm super excited and really happy that all the work I did to convince my parents is soon going to pay off. So yeah thank you for responding to my last ask it felt so nice having someone listen to my problems and not feel judged 💜🩶🩷🧡💙🖤🩵💚🤎🤍💛❤️

Hi <3

Ugh, I'm sorry the guidance counselor wasn't very good. I hope you know that has nothing to do with you. Sounds like they don't do their job very well. Please know you're still always welcome to vent here <3

The fair sounds so fun! And purple hair, too? I have purple hair, it's the best :D If you have the money, can I suggest getting some purple pigmented conditioner (different than purple shampoo/conditioner for blondes)? It helps the purple stay longer. SO worth it.

Happy early birthday!

ace qpr anon

hi!! i'm here for advice and to rant :3

so i'm a high school freshman, i'm fourteen and i have no gender (afab). i'm in a qpr with my bestie who's also nb and fourteen, and we're both ace. the idea of anything yk sexual grosses me out, like even kissing and i have kind of a hard time with physical touch i don't initiate. my partner is really touchy tho and i'm kind of an angry person by nature (i blame my dad) and i'm worried that i'll blow up on them by accident if they try to press me for anything. i'm worried about it solely because i have been known to blow up at people i love and be really nice and kind to people i don't purely because i feel comfortable enough to actually express myself with people i love. i really love them /p and i don't want to lose them but i'm worried. yk. sorry to make you read all this and i hope you have a great day :)

Hi!

Okay so it sounds like both of you have some work to do here. First, if you set a boundary about not wanting to be touched, your partner needs to respect that, NO EXCEPTIONS. Your body is your body, and if your partner isn't respecting that, it might be that this partnership isn't healthy. Make sure you set those boundaries, and don't back down. You deserve that respect.

As far as getting angry...I'm gonna be very loving here when I say that just as you have control over your body, you have control over your actions. I ALSO can get angry easily, so I'm not judging you at all, please know. And recognizing that is a great first step! But now it's time to work on it. Your dad may have taught you anger, but you're old enough to not continue the cycle. If your partner does break those boundaries, you need to practice ways of saying something that's firm but KIND. Because you're right, your anger could cause you to lose them, but that responsibility is on you, as well.

I think two things I'd try is first: if you're feeling angry, step away. It's okay to take a moment to step back from the situation, knowing you might say something you regret. I do it all the time (taking a step back) and it makes a HUGE difference.

Second, practice what to say in that situation. Have the words ready. That way, it's easier to find them in the moment.

Sending you love and luck!

exam results anon

hey cas! This is exam results anon....

I talked about getting less-than-expected marks in English. To answer your question, wwe can only retake the test if we fail the subject, so i can't retake it.

But good news is, I glt into one of the most prestigious college in my state. Like it's super hard to get into it without recommendations and stuff. I had that college as my second choice but they called me for a test and personal interview a few days back. They were very impressed with my writing ability and I kinda told them that I write poetry and stuff, so they were pretty happy to offer me a merit seat in the morning batch.

So I pretty much shut people up by getting into a college without depending on anything other than my talent. My mom finally told me out loud that she's proud of me.

Thank you for your kind words in my last anon ask. I actually made that ask shortly after I got my results, so when i got into that college i was excited to tell you that everything worked out.

Thank you soo much cas.

With love, exam results anon<3

Oh my god this is AMAZING! I am so proud of you, and I hope you're proud of yourself!

As far as your mom being proud...I'm glad she is. But remember that pride in yourself is most important. You worked hard the whole time, and you should be proud of your test results AND your talents. You sound like an amazing student and an amazing person.

I hope you have a great time in college!

How to Balance Concept Learning and Practice Tests in CA Foundation Prep

Preparing for the CA Foundation exam involves consistent work, smart study, and a balanced combination of topic learning and practice exams. Most candidates end up exceeding one thing because they either read theory all day long without exercising it or practice mock exams without having the necessary background knowledge. Clear basics and thorough practice are actually the CA Foundation's success mantras.

This article explains how to achieve the ideal balance between studying ideas and taking practice exams to ensure thorough and efficient preparation

Understand the Structure of the CA Foundation

Let's first examine the exam structure before moving on to the strategies. There are four papers on the CA Foundation exam:

Paper 1: Accounting Principles and Practice

Paper 2: Business Regulations and Business Reporting and Correspondence

Paper 3: Statistics, Logical Reasoning, and Business Mathematics

Paper 4: Business and Commercial Knowledge and Business Economics

While Papers 3 and 4 are objective with negative marking, Papers 1 and 2 are subjective. The mix of theory and practice requires two approaches: regular practice and in-depth conceptual knowledge.

Why Balancing Concept Learning and Practice is Critical

If you concentrate on concepts only:

You could know the topic but find it hard to manage time, question pattern familiarity, and pressure management in the exam room.

If you practice alone:

You could end up memorizing the replies without actual understanding, which makes it hard to deal with tricky questions.

Therefore, a balance between both is maintained so that:

You know "why" something works.

You also know "how" to use it in exam conditions.

Phase 1: Building a Strong Conceptual Foundation (First 1.5–2 Months)

The initial phase of your preparation should focus on concept learning. This comprises:

1. Learn the Syllabus and Weightage

Divide each topic from the point of view of the ICAI syllabus.

Identify weightage chapters and prioritize them.

Official ICAI study material should be your first source.

2. Learn Actively, Not Passively

Attend classes or lectures carefully and make handwritten notes.

Attempt teaching a concept to a friend—it's the best way to check your understanding.

Create mind maps and flowcharts for improvement in retention.

3. Do Illustrations and Examples

Do not simply read examples—do them yourself.

Understand the "why" of each step.

Create a formula sheet for topics such as Accounting and Mathematics.

4. Revise Regularly

Do weekly revision of all topics you have studied during weekends.

Create short notes for quick summaries.

5. Set Micro Goals

Divide your preparation into a daily goal. 

E.g., Do one unit of Accounting and two modules of Math per week.

Pro tip: Keep your practice limited to examples during this phase. Don't jump into full mock tests yet.

Phase 2: Gradual Introduction to Practice (Months 2–3)

Once your base is ready, begin integrating practice tests and question-solving into your routine.

1. Start With Topic-wise Tests

After completing a topic, attempt topic-specific practice questions.

Use ICAI’s past year papers and mock test papers.

Analyze mistakes and revisit the related concepts.

2. Alternate Days Strategy

Spend alternate days on revision and problem-solving

For instance:

Monday: Learn a new topic

Tuesday: Practice questions on old topics

Wednesday: Learn another new subject

Thursday: Attempt a topic test

Doing so guarantees that you are revising old concepts and learning new ones simultaneously.

3. Emphasize Objective Paper Skills

Practice Papers 3 and 4 MCQs with timer-based sessions.

Make yourself accustomed to negative marking and learn to skip uncertain questions.

4. Make a Mistake Log

Keep a notebook or Excel file to log your errors.

Include:

Topic

Type of error (conceptual, dumb mistake, time constraint)

Correct technique

This record book is treasure for your last-minute edits.

Phase 3: Mock Tests and Realistic Practice (Last Month)

This phase is focused on mimicking exam environments and skill mastery.

1. Take Full-Length Mock Tests

Begin taking complete 3-hour mock exams.

Attempt at least 6–8 full mock tests per subject prior to the exam.

Simulate exam environment:

No phone

Timer on

No distractions

2. Post-Test Analysis

Invest at least 1.5x the test time analyzing it.

Don't merely glance over marks—discover why you went wrong.

Visit the concepts for wrongly attempted questions.

3. Time and Stress Management

Learn to time-manage—particularly in Paper 3 (Math and Reasoning).

Use the Pomodoro technique (25 min study + 5 min break) for focused practice sessions.

4. Mix Conceptual Revision with Practice

Divide your day in 50:50 ratio:

50% for revising important concepts or formulas.

50% for problem-solving or giving tests.

5. Focus on Weaker Areas

Refer to your mistake log and mark the weak topics.

Relearn these topics from summary notes or video explanations.

Retake old questions from these chapters.

Bonus Tips for Balance Effectiveness

Utilize ICAI Resources Wisely

ICAI RTPs, MTPs, and Past Year Papers are important. Don't skip them.

Attempt these resources at least once before the exam.

Bunch Subjects Strategically

Pair a theory-intensive subject (such as Law or BCK) with a numerical subject (such as Accounting or Math) for day-to-day preparation.

This keeps your mind active and prevents burnout.

Make a Weekly Routine

Example:

Monday to Friday: 2 hours concept + 2 hours practice

Saturday: Mock test

Sunday: Analysis + Revision + Light study

Don't Neglect Health

Balanced diet, 7–8 hours sleep, and frequent breaks are crucial for long-term consistency.

Use light physical exercise or meditation to deal with stress.

Final Thoughts

CA Foundation success lies in smart preparation—strong concepts backed by consistent practice. Balancing both helps you tackle any question with confidence and manage real exam pressure effectively.

To boost your prep, consider our CA Foundation Test Series. It offers structured mock tests and performance feedback to fine-tune your strategy and improve accuracy.

Start early, revise smartly, and practice regularly—the right balance is your key to cracking CA Foundation in one go.

There will be a 3 hour exam that would test a varied array of abilities using the XAT. The following sections have been provided in it:

Verbal and Logical Ability

Decision Making

Quantitative Ability & Data Interpretation

General Knowledge

Essay Writing

The distinctive characteristics of XAT are decision-making scenarios, wherein the test-taker must not only apply knowledge but also present a resolution to rather knotty ethical dilemmas.

Syllabus Overview

XAT 2025

Master the key topics in every section for success in the exam: Verbal and Logical Ability: Gradually improve reading skills, logical reasoning, and vocabulary. Practice comprehension passages regularly.

Decision Making: Use case studies based on real-life happenings and ethical problems to help you think critically and make judgments.

Effective Study Techniques

Analyzing Old Papers: Knowing what types of questions and topics are most recurrently covered will put you ahead from the beginning.

Heed to Decision Making Practice: Since this is an important section, spend your time solving different case studies and practicing analytical scenarios.

Time Management Techniques: Plan how to manage your time so that you are sure of leaving enough time to cover everything.

Reading Widely: There is widening in reading and not restriction to merely academic books. Allowances for fiction and non-fiction that may stimulate independent thinking .

Simulated Mock Tests: One should continuously take full-length mock tests under exam-like conditions with stamina-building and confidence-building.

Current Affairs and Important Issues: Retention of current affairs and issues through frequent quizzes and discussions with the peers.

Test Centers in India

XAT is to be held at over 72 centers spread across the country, including all the major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore, and others. Candidates can opt for a center located in their city in order to avoid last minute tension on the exam day itself.

Cut Off Scores

The cut-off scores decide which candidates make the cut into the different courses. XLRI, in general, has rather chauvinistic cut-offs as follows:

Business Management (BM): About 95+ percentile

Human Resource Management (HRM): About 90+ percentile

Keep abreast of the cut-off announcements made by other participating institutes. These can differ very significantly:

Conclusion

Preparing for XAT 2025 is not a one-day show but a journey that demands dedication and strategy with great effort. With this, candidates can streamline their study process, and hence their chances of scoring better may increase. Retain your goals, stay motivated, and approach your preparation with a positive attitude. For more info visit: https://careermantra.net/exam/33/xat-2025

Suptober Day 17: Muse

College had done wonders for Dean's self-esteem and his development. He missed Sammy and their mom now and then, but nothing beat being independent and surrounded by his peers. While people were more or less forced to go to school, these kids had chosen college, specifically picked their classes and found a balance between studying and partying. That influence worked like magic on Dean.

Back in school he had first been a trouble maker, then the edgy bad boy everyone liked but nobody really stuck with. But in college he'd become an A-student, always coming to class prepared, syllabus in mind, homework done a few days early. He was thankful for the opportunity to make something of himself, to try something new, and he loved life on campus. His friends were here, new and old ones, and there were lots of things to do.

Next to his engineering classes, Dean had picked a minor in sports science after growing up a jock. He learned about the way the body worked and how to treat it right, which led to him filling up his schedule with football, soccer and baseball training wherever it fit. He got to train his body along with his brain in both his major and minor, perfect balance.

And because that somehow still wasn't enough for Dean, and because he needed money like most students, he was working with the art department when they needed him. Sometimes he just helped moving heavy boxes of supplies or set up the easels for class. His most frequent and favourite task, however, was modeling. Whether it was a portrait, nude painting or a detail study (sometimes all the focus was on his hands or eyes), he enjoyed watching the students practice. He enjoyed flirting and getting attention, but something about the objective, strategic eye of the art students made for a nice change.

Ever since the end of his third semester (he was now in his fifth) Dean had an extra reason to love his job though. One of the students, a quiet, mysterious one, had stolen his heart. Dean had been paired with him for detail studies occasionally, and met him on campus another few times. He knew that Castiel studied art and something in the sphere of humanities, that he had siblings and preferred sweet over savory. That was about it, but it was enough to make him long for more. For the first time since highschool, Dean found himself having a real crush on someone - daydreaming and butterflies included.

So of course, when twelve models gathered in the class room for one-on-one studies, Dean pretended not to see Cas as he sat on the stool next to his easel. Cas was currently bent over, digging through his bag to get his materials out and onto the easel. He was a little shorter than Dean, with black hair and sapphire eyes. What got Dean most excited was his raspy voice, which he hadn’t yet heard today, and the way Cas conversed. Their few encounters had been filled with deep talk and meaningful words, and Cas listening intenltly whenever Dean spoke. He cared, that was what Dean adored about him.

When the dark haired artist turned to him, Dean curled his lips into a smile. "What are we doing today, big boy?"

Cas' gaze followed Dean's figure from his eyes down to his ankles for a second, quick enough to miss it. Dean didn't. He didn't blame him, afterall Dean was sitting there in nothing but boxer briefs and a bordeux robe, ready for any type of study his assigned artist wanted to do.

Cas cleared his throat and picked up something from the easel. When he raised his hand to wave it in front of Dean's face, he recognized a selection of pencils.

"I'd like to work on faces", Cas explained, and with a glance to his easel, Dean found a sheet of paper fixed on a board instead of a canvas.

"You have really nice features, they'll make for a good study", Cas continued while sorting his pencils back. Dean couldn't help but grin at the comment. Had Cas just very indirectly told him that he found him pretty? When Cas turned to face him again, Dean batted his eyelashes, waiting for instructions.

"Are you okay with that, Dean?"

"Yep", Dean responded. "I'm paid to do anything you need me to, your wish is my command." Ah...too much? Apparently it was just right, because Cas chuckled and said "I'll keep that in mind" as he lightly took hold of Dean's jaw to turn his head a bit.

Dean was pretty sure that the thin fabric of the robe must've been vibrating with his racing heartbeat, but if it did, Cas didn't say anything about it. Instead he began to draw, mapping out Dean's proportions before he went into detail. At least Dean assumed as much, the way Cas had positioned his head, he couldn't see the artwork. He could only listen to the scratching of pencil on paper, imagining what was happening. Now and then, Cas quietly asked him to change his position a little bit so he could see his face in different lighting. And when Dean didn't understand, or pretended as much, Cas would put his fingertips on Dean's jaw and gently move his head by himself again.

"Can I ask you something?", Cas asked after about thirty minutes. He spoke quietly in order to not disturb the other eleven artists and their models. There was a low mumble in the room, and so far nobody had said anything about it.

"Anything", Dean responded.

Cas put his pencil down for a moment to look at Dean. "Why do you model?"

Dean found himself taken aback. He hadn't expected that question, and he wasn't sure there was a definite answer to it.

"It sounded interesting", he shrugged. "I like art. They wrote that they really need people to do this, and I..."

He trailed off, biting his tongue. Okay, maybe he did know the answer.

Cas noticed him waver, of course he did. "It's fine if you don't want to talk about it. I was just curious because...well, I feel much safer behind my easel. I wouldn't enjoy having a class of people stare at me all at once."

"I don't enjoy it", Dean sighed, giving in. "I don't mind it. I do enjoy watching you guys work though. But...I like that during class I'm not being stared at for being handsome or naked or whatever, but because everyone's trying to improve their skill and I'm kinda just...there."

It was quiet for a few seconds after that. Dean was beginning to worry that he might have bored Cas to death, or that his answer hadn't satisfied him, when gentle fingers cupped his jaw to turn his head. Cas was leaning in closely, his eyes fixed on Dean's. In their position Dean was 98% sure Cas would kiss him here and now. If only he'd lean in a little closer...

"Are you alright, Dean?"

Ah, nevermind. In less than a second, Dean's expression turned from dreamy to defensive and he shook Cas' hand off of him. He wasn't a charity case or anything, why would Cas even come to that conclusion?

"I'm sorry", Cas added quickly, raising his hands. "It just sounds like you made some unpleasant experiences, that's all. I didn't mean to upset you."

Dean shifted in his seat, changing out of the now uncomfortable position to stretch his stiff limbs. Then he looked around himself, and when he found everyone else busy with their work, he sighed and looked down at his feet.

"People have always told me I'm pretty", he murmured. "And I liked that attention during highschool. But I have a brain and feelings too, you know."

Again, Cas was silent. And again, Dean felt stupid. This wasn't how he'd expected this afternoon to go at all. In his mind they'd flirted through the whole session, maybe Dean would have chatted him up about his favourite artists, or could've given him advice on muscle placement with his sport science background...

Cas' voice ripped him out of his daydream.

"I think you're pretty great", he said, looking at his drawing. "You're funny, you're smart and you're a good listener. You deserve to be treated accordingly."

Without thinking, Dean responded. "Go out with me."

His assigned artist looked over with a frown. "What?"

"Go out with me", Dean repeated.

"Like on a date?"

Dean began to waver, Cas’ reaction wasn’t very promising. "That's what I was thinking, unless you don't want to...?"

Cas was frowning, frozen in his movement. Dean wasn't sure whether he'd even listened. "So Meg was right, you have been flirting with me?"

"For the whole semester, but thanks for noticing", Dean responded dryly. He wasn't mad, if anything he was relieved. If Cas' lack of flirting was based on him being oblivious rather than uninterested, there was still hope.

Cas sank onto his bar stool and pinched the bridge of his nose with two fingers. "God, I am an idiot, aren't I?"

"Sometimes", Dean chuckled and watched as Cas shook his head, then straightened to look at Dean again.

"I'm sorry. I'd love to go out with you", he said warmly, with an expression that made Dean blush. The guy was too dreamy.

"We could start with coffee after class", Dean suggested, nodding towards the easel, "but first, let's see what you produced."

Still smiling, Cas turned the easel. The wood dragged across the floor with a squeak. When the artwork was finally in his line of sight, Dean gasped.

"Damn, Cas", he said and leaned forward to inspect the image of his face more closely. It was perfect, at least Dean thought so. It was incredibly detailed and looked just like him, nothing seemed to differ from what he saw in the mirror every day. And Cas has chosen a pose and perspective that made him look even better. It occurred to Dean that maybe, just maybe, Cas generally saw him like that.

"What do you think?", Cas inquired, watching Dean inspect the picture.

"I think you're incredibly talented", Dean gave back, still admiring the creation.

"Maybe a muse kissed me”, Cas chuckled.

"Oh you're gonna get kissed, alright", Dean murmured as he straightened up again, only to find Cas tilting his head in question.

"What?"

"Nothing", Dean smirked. "I'm looking forward to coffee."

Wait For It

Dean stalks out of the Impala agitatedly.

It's a sunny afternoon, and Sam's on the porch, coffee on the table next to him, flipping through his political science handbook. He looks up when he hears the car door being slammed, and his eyes follow Dean as he lands in the other chair around the table.

Then, without warning or premonition, Dean starts to talk.

He's got a new colleague.

Novak, he calls him. With gritted teeth, frowning eyebrows, and feeling.

They don't usually talk about people. So Sam listens.

Considering the amount of time Dean devotes talking about how Novak walked into his office, stride radiating importance as though he'd been summoned by Dean himself - well, he really must be a pain in the ass.

*

Over the next week, Sam's not always outside when Dean comes home from work. When he finally is, on a Thursday, Dean plants himself across him and starts speaking immediately.

Sam closes his book, purses his lips and pays attention.

Castiel, he's become.

Horrible, he's remained.

When Dean's done ranting, the sun's gone down. He gets up, hands on his hips. "He's just a jackass about everything, Sammy. Who's pretentious about eyecolor? Nobody's eyes can be that blue."

Sam nods sympathetically.

Dean goes away to make dinner, satisfied.

*

Midterms are round the corner.

Without really paying attention to it, Sam's stopped flipping through his handbook, and started highlighting in his textbook. He stays up late, and wakes up early, determinedly chipping away at the ginorminous block of syllabus, bit by bit.

He also stops being out on the porch when Dean comes back from work, and Dean tends to not barge into his bedroom to talk about the awful people he works with, so that's that.

But dinner isn't saved.

It's a simple conversation about mashed potatoes, and Dean goes off. "You won't believe how ridiculous Castiel is about honey, dude." Sam asks for a second helping, he also receives an anecdote on Castiel's ungrateful attitude towards Dean.

Sam doesn't even dare to mention his dislike for bacon once, for all the times Dean offers him it - because he's sure he'd get another indepth analysis of how Castiel hates Dean.

But when they settle down to watch Law & Order after dinner that night, Sam gets a chance to think. He wonders, not for the first time, how truly terrible Cas must be, for Dean to talk about him all the frigging time, and by the end of the episode, he's decided to be the pillar of support his brother needs, right now.

So when Dean starts, randomly, about how Castiel doesn't even appreciate good music, Sam whips out his puppy eyes, and listens to the entire tale.

*

Weeks pass.

His first paper is Tuesday, Ethics. Sam spends most hours of the day on his desk, holed up in his room.

It would be unfair to Dean to say he used up all the time Sam did spend around him, to talk about Cas.

(Which Castiel had ended up being, obviously.)

He only used like sixty percent of it.

*

"He's just...a weird, dorky little guy." Dean ends, biting his lip, eyes cast to the floor. His hands play with the hem of his jacket - he's still in work clothes.

Sam sighs.

"You know what?" Dean stands up. "I'm going to make coffee. Do I get you a mug or a thermos?"

"Thermos, please." Sam calls after him, gratefully.

"Okay. Carry on, bitch."

*

Sam feels guilty.

He's been so caught up in college, deadlines and exams, he's hardly talked to Dean except to thank him for all the coffee and sandwiches.

Dean may be a jerk all year, but he can get really supportive when Sam needs him to be.

Sam feels bad for not doing the same.

So when Dean puts a peanut butter sandwich in front of him, at one am while Sam panics through his last night revision, he looks up at his brother blankly and asks. "Hey, how's the guy who's been making your life hell? You stopped telling me about him."

"Oh, uh." Dean pauses.

Sam waits, but Dean takes too long, as if he's contemplating, so he takes a bite of his sandwich instead.

"He's not that bad." Dean finally lets out, exhaling into a hint of a smile.

Sam raises his eyebrows.

*

"To you kicking Stanford's ass!" Dean raises his bottle, perhaps the sixth toast of the night, giant grin plastered on his face.

"I keep telling you the results are a far way from being out yet - but hear, fucking hear!" Sam clinks his glass to Dean's beer, smile equally wide. He's finally done. There's finally no more papers, no more tests, no more revision.

He made it through.

"I'm proud of you." Dean mutters lazily, leaning back on the seat.

"Y-yeah. I know." Sam returns joyfully, neither of them really thinking about what they're saying. They've been drinking for hours. "Thank you."

"Yeah, yeah. I know." Dean repeats, and proceeds to chuckle at his words. There's a moment of silence - well, as silent as it ever gets in the Roadhouse. Then Dean speaks up. "Guess what, Sammy?"

Sam doesn't even correct him.

"What?"

"I'm going to ask Cas out today." Dean declares, and Sam's eyebrows go up again, because while he's definitely known his brother's into guys for years, he hadn't expected Dean to come out like this.

But six beers in, and a declaration of pride out, Dean just ups and says it.

"I think I have a crush on him."

*

Many months go by. It's Sam's final year. And he's moving back onto campus.

"I'm going to miss you." Sam tells Dean, after they've finished lugging all of his bags into Jessica's room. Dean's half sitting on Baby's hood, and Sam has his hands shoved in his pockets.

"Shuddup." Dean throws back, and he definitely sounds weird. "I'm like, seven minutes away."

"Still." Sam grins, earnest.

"Yeah, alright. I'm not making you move out, okay?" Dean straightens, scoffing. "Have fun convincing Jessica to make you breakfast food at midnight."

"Yeah but," Sam laughs. "You live like, seven minutes away."

"Like hell I do. Get your ninety-percent peanut butter ass over here." Dean sighs, and Sam walks up to him, letting Dean pull him into a hug.

They hold onto each other, safety in the familiarity. Both of them know that they're probably not going to live together again. Sam has a plan after college, which doesn't involve moving back to Dean's. But they've shared a house for so long, it's going to feel weird.

It's going to be strange.

To lighten the moment, Sam whispers. "So, uh. Cas is moving in after I'm gone, isn't he?"

"He's probably already redecorating the place to get rid of your nerd cooties." Dean thumps him on the back, as they separate. There's a smile lingering on his face.

"What about your nerd cooties?" Sam bitchfaces at him.

"He likes those." Dean defends, crossing his arms on his chest.

"I bet he does." Sam snorts, and Dean reddens, realizing he just walked right into that, and then he just swears under his breath goodnaturedly as Sam walks into his new place.

*

Sam's phone rings.

It's only eight, on a Saturday, and Sam doesn't have to leave for office at nine like everyday, so he's sleeping in. Amelia's next to him, and she elbows him when the annoying ringtone wakes her before it wakes Sam.

"Sorry, babe." Sam tells her, kissing the top of her head distractedly, picking up the phone and sitting up when he hears Dean's voice.

It's trembling with excitement.

"Sam!" Dean gushes, and there's really no other word for it. There seems to be a commotion behind him, but the happy kind. Dean's tone is almost ecstatic.

"Dean?" Sam confirms, groggily.

"Dude, Cas just asked me to marry him!" Dean let out, almost breathless. "And I said yes! Of course, I said yes! We're getting married, Sammy!."

A smile grows on Sam's face. "Dude. You're getting married."

"I'm getting married!" Dean repeats, and proceeds to chuckle at something Cas is saying apparently, because then he tells Sam he's putting him on speaker.

"Hello, Sam." Cas greets him, sounding thoroughly overjoyed.

"Congratulations, Cas." Sam says, beaming now. He's so happy for them both. Cas is amazing, and he gets Dean, and Sam knows Dean loves him so much. "And, uh, Dean? You better fight a good fight for my Bestmanship, versus Castiel's brother, okay?"

Dean laughs, and it's the kind of rare excited laugh which makes everyone around smile too.

Cas answers, instead, his voice just as excited. "Don't worry, I'd rather have Gabriel be the caterer."

Sam chuckles. "Good."

"Give the phone back a minute, Cas," Dean says in the background, and then it's off-speaker, and just Dean, again. "You're not busy being important or anything, are you?"

Sam looks around him. "No?" Dean hesitates for a beat, until Sam catches the gist. "Dude! Of course I'm not busy. Tell me everything!" Dean lets out a sound which is definitely a squeal, though he'd never own up to it. "How did it happen? Why did it happen so early?"

Dean exhales, happily, and Sam can picture the smile on his face.

"Wait, is there a ring? Dean, I need you to show me the ring." Sam adds, just before Dean starts to tell Sam about it all. Just like he had, at the very beginning.

*

Six days to the wedding, Sam sits on the old porch chair, tapping his pen on his notebook.

He needs to write a speech.

There's so much to tell. The two of them are adorable, for god's sake. They tend to be cheesy even in front of him, and so unaware of it - Sam wonders if they turn into mushy marshmallows when his back is turned.

Maybe he should include that in his speech. "Mushy Marshmallows" is a cute alliteration. Huh.

After an entire evening of thinking, he pushes himself off his seat to get a cup of coffee. (He'd try to convince Dean to make some, but him and Cas have an appointment with a florist for the wedding.)

In any case, Sam may not be done with the speech entirely, but he figures he's earned a break. You see, he's already got an unbelievably great title. He can work from there.

"How Dean Is The Worst Judge Of People."

He has a good first line, too. "Exhibit A: Novak-slash-Castiel-slash-Cas."

CA Final Costing Old & New Course

Preparation Strategies for students who are transiting from CA Final Costing Old course to CA Final Costing New Course

This article is all about the myths & confusions of CA Final Old Course Students who are transiting from old courses to a new course. There is a lot of confusion going around in the minds of students who appeared for the CA Final Old course, as this is the last attempt and students have doubts regarding how to start the studies & how to proceed with the course with what all the similar topics of new course & Old course, etc.

As your results are awaited, you can start your studies with CA Final Direct Tax & CA Final InDirect Tax, as you can utilize this period for studies. If you are fortunate in your exams(which should really be in your case), then this knowledge will help you in your further interviews. If you are amongst the unfortunate ones(which we really don’t want you to be in), then the best thing is that you have already started with the new course studies.

For selection from Elective paper, Economic laws & International Taxation can be selected soon after the result. Why do old course students select these courses? Because 80% of the course of Elective paper- economic law is similar to CA Final law and International Taxation is also available in the old course syllabus. So if Old course students choose these elective papers then, then will need less time to study this part of course.

There is a lot of confusion & myths going around regarding AMA & SCMPE syllabus. So let us first discuss the same in the form of Questions & answers:

Q.1- What is the difference between CA final Costing Old Course syllabus & the CA fInal New Course syllabus?

The New Syllabus of CA Final Costing (SCMPE) is entirely different from AMA. It is much more analytical, unlike AMA which has direct questions which makes SCMPE more difficult to score marks. It is the only subject that has been changed by the ICAI extraordinarily from its old syllabus to the new syllabus. This course will teach you how to manage and run a business. Every organization has to plan and evaluate its cost management processes. With the use of a CA Final Costing (SCMPE) studied in this curriculum, you may handle the difficulties and offer management suggestions or guidance. Different SCMPE models will provide you with a roadmap / a sense of ownership that will aid us in managing the firm in a new tough job. Understanding a different company model will widen our minds and supply us with the knowledge that will help us establish a competitive advantage.

Let us have a glimpse of changes between CA fInal Old Course & CA Final New Course.

The major focus shall be on the subjective/conceptual part of the syllabus.

Basics of Decision making including linear programming(Basics of Graphical & simplex, and its alternatives). Application of linear programming & solving is part of the syllabus. This part weightage in CA Final Costing New Course(SCMPE)  is less as compared to AMA(CA Final Costing Old Course)

     B. Transfer pricing- Mostly subjective topics are asked.      C. Activity Based Costing, Pricing Decision, Standard costing- Types of questions are totally different as compared to AMA. These topics are taken up at an advanced level, so these topics are considered as a new topic in the New Course.

      D. Case study & case scenario- This is a totally new part of the syllabus.

          Around 40-50% marks are covered in Case Study & Case Scenarios.

The format or pattern to express your replies is what you need to know while writing answers to case study-based questions. That’s all there is to it.

 Q.2- Do we need to refer to the PM of Old course/ books of Old course costing in CA  Final New Course?

No, students are advised to just follow new course books & study material. You can go through Parag sir’s self-study books for New Course studies.

Let us have more insights through Parag sir’s video where he has discussed the difficulties/ confusions transiting students(from Old course to New Course) are facing.

SCMPE Paper Pattern:

~Subjective paper pattern

~100 marks questions were asked in all.

~Time allotted for the exam: 3 hours

~6 questions are asked in total.

About CA Final Exam Pattern –

Under both the old and new syllabus, the CA Final exam consists of 8 papers. And these papers are split into two groups of four papers each. However, the new syllabus involves an elective open book exam.

Some points to Remember:-

> You should take classes from the best & experienced faculty because this subject is based on concept clarity & only the best teachers can give you such clarity.

>It would be great for students to seek advice from only experienced & trustworthy students who have already taken classes from teachers & have appeared for exams. Trustworthy means that you know that student personally, as there are lots of fake profiles present in social media who are misguiding students & promoting the faculties in a wrong manner.

We Are Going to Be Friends Pt. 1

Woo! A prequel! Kind of.  (Title is a White Stripes Song. All the titles are gonna be Punk songs. Deal with it) This takes place while Logan, Roman, and Remus are in high school! It’s the story of how they met up until they get together. I’m not sure how long it’s going to be yet.  Words:  1133 

Tag List: @princemesscharming @datfearlessfangirl @cas-is-a-hunter (i haven’t tagged you in the last few but you did ask to be tagged in the original. Let me know if you want to stay on the tag list, I don’t mind either way.) @illogicalthinking  Let me know if you want tagged!

The Series on Ao3  | Last Words Pt. 1 & Pt. 2  |  Run From What’s Comfortable  | The Kids Will be Alright, Eventually. 

Okay here’s the Fic.

    Logan was 14 when Roman and Remus Sanders appeared in his life. He was a freshman in high school, unnaturally tall and trying his best to be intimidating in his brother’s hand-me-down leather jacket and worn-out boots.

    “This is ridiculous, Larry.” Logan was pouting a bit, trying to keep his hair from his face. It hadn’t been cut since the middle of the last school year and was hanging messily around his chin. His brother laughed at him, tossing an arm across his brother’s shoulders.

    “First of all, You can call me L, Lo. Literally the only ones who actually call me Larry are Mom and Dad. And Dot, but she’s cute, so it’s okay.” L winked at Logan, shoving the younger teenager a bit towards the freshman hallway. “You’re going to be fine, kid. You know where your homeroom is?” Logan nodded. “Perfect! I’ll see you at lunch, okay?” Logan didn’t get a chance to agree before his brother disappeared into the crowd, lifting up who Logan assumed was Dot. He sighed and turned into the hallway, trying to find his locker. He was sure it was supposed to be here, he had found it during orientation, but there was a small crowd of sophomores laughing and pushing each other in front of where he thought it was. He steeled his nerves and cleared his throat.

    “Excuse me, I believe you’re blocking my locker.” The crowd, who Logan realized consisted of not only sophomores but juniors and seniors too based on the letterman jackets they were wearing, looked at him, all of them with a bit of amusement in their eyes. Now that they had turned, Logan could see his locker, directly behind two of them who were either twins or brothers who looked incredibly similar. Logan pointed at them. “You two, the locker behind you is mine. I need into it.”

    “Is that so?” The one with the green t-shirt on asked with a smirk. “Ro, I think we’re blocking tall, dark, and angry’s locker!” The one in red, Ro, pretended to look surprised.

    “Oh, my goodness, Re! We wouldn’t want to block Specs here from dropping off his trapper keeper!” Ro put a hand to his chest dramatically. “How would he ever survive!” Re laughed a little. Logan rolled his eyes and took a step into the crowd. These were obviously a combination of Jocks and theater kids, some with both patches on their jackets. Logan figured it was probably a dumb idea to piss them off this early into the school year, but he really couldn’t care less about it. He came into the school with a reputation as a trouble maker from middle school, and had been warned by the disciplinary officer that his attitude would not be tolerated here. With his shaggy hair and new growth spurt putting him at just over six feet tall, he didn’t expect this year to go much better. He was strong, actively working out four days a week with his brother, but his growth spurt left him looking lanky and thin. He placed one hand on each of the brother’s shoulders, easily pushing them away from his locker. They looked surprised. “Damn, pocket protector. You’re stronger than you look.” Ro said, sounding slightly impressed. Logan ignored them, opening the locker and tossing his notebooks and folders into the top shelf, hanging his jacket up on the hook, leaving him in just his Eddie & The Hotrods hoodie and plain white t-shirt. He slammed the door and stepped through the crowd that was staring at him with identical looks of confusion. He stomped past them and into his homeroom without giving them another thought.

    That was, until fifth period, where Re and Ro were sitting in two desks at the front of the room, loudly arguing about something that Logan didn’t care enough to listen to. He sat down in one of the two remaining chairs in the front row, right next to the far wall. He pulled out a notebook and tapped his pen against the desk, waiting for the teacher to come in. The two jocks didn’t seem to notice him, engrossed in their argument. When the teacher came in she glanced at the class and hummed.

    “Remus? Would you mind moving to the other side of your brother? I assured Simon they could have the seat closest to the door.” She asked, smiling at the green twin who nodded and stood up, turning towards the other open seat. The seat just next to Logan.

    “Oh! Specs! Aren’t you a freshman? Why are you in this class?” Remus sat down, his grin almost unsettlingly wide.

    “Oh, I uh-” The teacher answered for him.

    “Logan is one of the six freshmen who started taking high school classes in their last year of middle school. Part of the Highest Honors Diploma Program.” Logan nodded in agreement, glad to not have to talk more than absolutely necessary.

    “Nice! Maybe you’ll be able to help me figure out what the hell anything in this class means then.” The teacher raised her eyebrows at that.

    “First of all, watch your language. Second of all, you passed last year’s class with no problems, why would you expect this class to be a problem?”

    “I stole a copy of the syllabus,” Remus admitted. “I hate Shakespeare, and we have almost an entire semester about the old nutcase.” Ro squawked indignantly at that.

    “Shakespeare was a genius! You’re literally an ACTOR, how can you not like him?”

    “Wait, how did you get a copy of the syllabus I JUST printed them-”

    “Sorry, bro, Shakespeare is an overrated plagiarist who was too lazy to learn real words so he made a bunch up to make himself sound cooler.” Remus shrugged. “Anyway, Logan, was it? You look like you’re a competent tutor, so what do you say? Will you teach me about the King of the Shadows?” Logan glanced over at the teacher, who still looked completely flabbergasted.

    “I… suppose so, if it becomes necessary, yes.” Logan agreed, albeit hesitantly. “It does seem that your.. brother is quite knowledgeable in the subject, however. Would you not prefer to have him help you?” Roman nodded earnestly.

    “I am very knowledgeable!” Remus snorted.

    “Roman gets distracted by passing dust motes. He would make a horrendous teacher.” Roman made a vague noise of offense but did not argue with his brother’s statement.

    “Speaking of teachers,” The English teacher said with fond exasperation, “Can this one actually start the class, or are we all going to have to listen to you three for the rest of the hour?” All three of them blushed and turned to the front of the classroom. The teacher, who’s name was apparently Mrs. White, began explaining the syllabus to them.
