100 Hobbies To Try

Update: I wrote this at like 1 AM, so I was kind of half-asleep lol. A few people brought up that there were a bunch of duplicates in the list, sorry about that! I redid the whole list and ordered them alphabetically to avoid any repeating words. Hope you find the new list much more helpful!

Hobbies are a great way to practice self-care, and to have as a stress reliever. As uni students, we often find ourselves stressed out about our academic responsibilities, projects deadlines, and even financial concerns. We need some way to let out those stresses, and hobbies are one way to do it. You don't have to be good at them, you just have to enjoy doing them!

HIIII. i literally love your blog to death. it's so cute. and it's so informative.

Do you have any tips for making friends? i struggle soooo much with making friends! thank you mindy!

hi angel! 🌸 thank you for your sweet message about my blog! making friends can be super challenging, especially when you're focused on big dreams like med school and business like me. (trust me, i totally get it). let me share my detailed guide on making meaningful connections !

a guide to making friends (for ambitious sweethearts) ♡

understanding the basics of friendship: friendship is like a dance between two souls. it requires patience, understanding, and genuine interest in others. as someone who loves psychology, i've noticed that the strongest friendships are built on:

mutual understanding

shared values

consistent communication

emotional safety

reciprocal support

where to find friends (places i've had success):

academic settings

honors/ap classes (found my study buddy in ap bio!)

study groups (perfect for combining socializing and academics)

library study sessions

academic clubs (pre-med society changed my life)

business club meetings

extracurricular activities

volunteer work at local hospitals, clinics, animal shelters

business competitions

leadership workshops

student government

entrepreneurship clubs

psychology-backed friendship tips: (combining my psych knowledge with real experience)

first impressions

maintain soft eye contact

practice open body language

speak clearly but softly

show genuine interest

remember names (psychology trick: repeat it 3 times mentally)

conversation skills

ask open-ended questions

practice active listening

share relevant personal experiences

validate others' feelings

use "yes, and" technique to build on topics

maintaining friendships

schedule regular study dates (if you're a student)

create shared goals

celebrate each other's achievements

offer emotional support

respect boundaries

balancing friendships with ambition: as someone pursuing both medicine and business, i understand time management is crucial. here's how i maintain friendships while staying focused:

study together

share academic resources

create accountability partnerships

schedule friendship time like meetings

combine social time with productive activities

common friendship challenges and solutions:

feeling too busy solution: integrate friends into your routine (study sessions, lunch breaks)

social anxiety solution: start with one-on-one interactions in comfortable settings

fear of rejection solution: remember that everyone feels this way sometimes

maintaining boundaries solution: be clear about your time constraints and priorities

different interests solution: find common ground in shared goals and ambitions

red flags to watch for: (important)

friends who don't respect your academic goals, career goals, life goals etc..

people who make you feel bad about your ambitions

toxic competition

inconsistent support

emotional drainage

green flags to look for: (important)

mutual encouragement

respect for boundaries

genuine interest in your success

emotional availability

consistent communication

note:

quality over quantity always

true friends support your dreams

it's okay to be selective

friendship takes time to develop

your academic goals matter too

personal note: i've found my closest friends through shared interests in medicine and business. we study together, support each other's goals, and understand when we need to focus on academics. these friendships are extra special because they align with our future paths.

i'm naturally an introvert and i tend to isolate myself a lot, but the friends i have are super understanding and support me, and i couldn't ask for better friends <3

sending you the sweetest vibes and hoping you find your perfect friend group! remember, the right friends will celebrate your ambitions, not dim your shine. ✨

love always, mindy

p.s. feel free to message me anytime for more specific advice! we're all in this together. 🤍

Shoujo Specifics: Haruhi Fujioka

Where’s my host club

tips start here:

Studying

Haruhi’s main hobby is studying. I mean, it’s what got her into Ouran High! Even if you’re not aiming to get into a luxury school, it is always a good idea to study hard so you can accomplish your dreams.

Join clubs!

Ok, technically Haruhi isn’t in a club by choice, but she does enjoy herself at the host club. Not only is it a great way to make friends, but also enrich your life! So pick a club and have a good time!!

Watch how much you spend

Being a ‘commoner’, Haruhi tries not to spend much money on things she doesn’t need. Although it’s ok to buy yourself something every once in a while, try not to excessively buy things you don’t actually need. When buying something, question how much you’ll get out the item.

Believe in yourself

Haruhi pretty much always believes in herself. She has no doubt when it comes to whether things will be ok or not! One easy way I’ve been able to believe in myself is affirmations. Things like “the universe works in my favor” and whatnot

Eye contact

Haruhi canonically has very good eye contact! Now this is one I really struggle with, but with time and practice, it’ll gradually become more comfortable and natural.

take care of yourself and your home

In her spare time, Haruhi does all of the housework. To take after this try learning some healthy food recipes, set up a cleaning routine, and helping out around the house if you don’t live alone.

(P.S. if you’d like to see me doing any other Shoujo girls, tell me which ones and I’ll see what I can do!)

how to set goals and actually achieve them ✧⋆⭒˚｡⋆

nonbasic tips from a girlie who’s learning to do just that! 

1. goal-setting strategies 

Start with a vision aka the big picture, but that sounds boring. Think about what you want to achieve. I know it’s hard, but you want to know exactly what you’re striving towards. Think about where you want to be in 6 months, 1 year, or maybe even 6 years. 

Write down your goals. Now that you have a vision, write goals (or smaller steps) that cater to your larger vision. 

Are your goals specific? Are they detailed enough for you to know exactly what you are doing when you’re working towards the goal? For example, “study more” is not a specific-enough goal, but “improving my physics grade from a B to an A” is a clearer goal. The more specific you are about exactly what each goal is, the easier it will be to achieve them. 

Are they measurable? Is it clear how you will determine when you have met your goal, or even how you will track your progress? For example, if I say I want to study physics more, there’s no quantification for what “more” means. A more measurable goal might be “I will study physics every day for at least 30 minutes” 

Do they align your vision? I really want to finish my CS50P coding class by the end of May, but it won’t align with my goal of improving my academic marks by a letter grade this semester. So, I disregard this goal for now, and I can come back to it once the school year ends. Same with many other goals. Make sure that they are actually relevant to your vision, not just seemingly relevant. 

Are they time-bound? Similar to procrastination, your goals will fit in the time frame you give it. Because of this, it is always best to set goals with deadlines. One thing I’m doing this year is improving my timed essay writing for the AP exam. So, my time-bound goal would be “I will complete one essay per week and improve my writing speed before the AP English Language exam in three months.” 

2. getting it done 

Success really is just a numbers game. How much time you put into your goals is how much progress you’ll see in return. It’s really that simple! Some days you’ll see more progress, and other days you will see a bit less. But every bit of effort adds up, even when it doesn’t feel like it. (those days you see less progress are the reasons why there are those special days with a lot of progress) 

Every second poured into your goal counts. It’s really true! No matter where you are, even a few minutes of consistent effort count more than inconsistent huge efforts. As for me towards my goal of improving my grades in certain classes and preparing for the AP exams in May, I found that studying anytime anywhere really helped lessen the burden of having to worry about studying and doing homework. I’ve even looked like a maniac doing homework on the floor of the band room in the times when I’m not playing. 

Do everything towards your goal. If it doesn’t align with your goals/vision, don’t do them. It’s much easier said than done, but sometimes you just gotta check yourself when you find yourself working on something that’s not towards the goal you want to achieve. 

Don’t think about it too hard. Action beats overthinking every time. Even if certain aspects of your plans change, or something doesn’t go as intended, just start, and the rest will fall into place.

you've got this!! sending all my best wishes <33

sincerely, q's playlist

How To Get Multiple Colors in a Text

warning this is might be long due to my over-explanation!!!

Some time ago I got a comment on my post asking how I got the color fading effect in my text and used non-default text colors, like the title above. I also got a few messages about this.

I swear wanted to respond sooner, but I completely forgot. When I finally got the time to reply, I noticed my response turned into an essay! So, I decided it would be easier to make a post instead, and if you're like me and are a visual learner don't worry I included images!

Also, I have ADHD and over-explain things. I realized that while drafting my reply, it came across as patronizing. So if I sound that way in this post, I assure you it's not my intention; I just tend to explain things in detail because I prefer having things explained to me like that with the smallest details addressed. I tried to make it super simple for those who are new to Tumblr.

Here is the website I used: https://patorjk.com/text-color-fader/

If you got how it works congrats, If not, and you're confused, feel free to read the steps I take when using it!

HOW TO GET THE CODE!

1.) The first step is to enter your text which is done here!

2.) Choose the number of colors you want your text to have. At least 2 colors are needed for your text to have a fade effect. For using just one color without fading, refer to 3.c.

3.a) Choose your colors from the presets which btw automatically change the number of colors used but you could simply change it.

3.b) If you would like to choose your own colors, ignore the presets and simply click on the color to edit the Hex code. Keep in mind that the order of the colors, as shown above, is the same order in which they will appear in the text when the code is generated.

3.c) To use a single color without any fade effect, set the color amount to 2, which is the minimum allowed. Then edit the two colors to have an identical hex code.

4.a) You can choose your Fade type using the below options. For this post, I will be using the horizontal fade type, as it's the one I prefer. I haven't explored the other options much, so feel free to experiment and choose whatever you like!

4.b) For the output code ALWAYS KEEP IT AS HTML when using it on Tumblr. Unless something changes with the website, HTML is the default, so you don't need to worry about making any changes.

5.a) Click the generate button at the bottom of the page to create the code.

5.b) This is how the results will appear with multiple colors and just one color. By default, the background color is set to black, but you can change it to white or another color to test how your text will look. This option can be found at the lower right side of the results, titled "View Against Background." (NOTE: The background color does not affect the code and is not included in the code itself.)

5.c) If you want to edit something, simply press the "create new fade" button at the bottom. Don’t worry; it won't reset anything; it will just take you back to the previous page!

6.) When you are okay with the results copy the code. To do this press the select all at the bottom right of the code. This will just highlight the code so you will need to either press ctrl c, ⌘ c, or whatever you do to copy text on your device!

NOW, HOW TO PUT THE CODE INTO TUMBLR!

7.a) Head over to Tumblr and create a post! Make sure you're editing using HTML by pressing the little setting button on the upper right side of your post.

7.b) Scroll down to the text editor. The default should be rich text. Press the dropdown and choose HTML.

7.c) Paste the code in the HTML editor. Then save it as a draft to make sure it looks good before posting.

8.) Here's how it should look. Be aware that the HTML editor does mess up your image placements a bit when editing, but that's an easy fix. You just edit the draft and drag the images back to where you wanted them, and it won't mess with the code.

POTENTIAL PROBLEM YOU MIGHT FACE

You might get a warning like this when using bulky paragraphs with color-fading text on Tumblr, as it wrongfully considers them to exceed the character limit. This warning doesn't appear for single-colored text. When I switched to a single color, the warning disappeared, allowing me to save my draft. When this warning appears, you will not be able to save your draft at all, which puts you at risk of losing all your work. What I usually do when I get this warning and am unable to save the draft is change the text editor, use HTML, and save the draft from there.

Please be aware of two minor issues with this hack: First, HTML can interfere with your images. If your images are stacked, that's fine; however, if they are side by side, HTML will change them to a stacked format. Second, the "read more" link will be deleted by HTML. While both issues can often be resolved using the rich text editor, you won't be able to fix them in this scenario because the rich text editor won't let you save the draft or post due to incorrectly seeing the character limit.

To work around this issue, I sometimes save the draft as HTML on my computer to bypass character limits. Then, I use the Tumblr app on my phone to adjust the image placement and re-add the “read more” link. This may not always work so just be aware of these potential issues!

That's it! If you have any questions, feel free to comment or message me, I'm kind of new at this too so bear with me!

PS, @angel-dustspo I’m so sorry for the late reply!!

[study-lizard]

hello studyblr community

i want to ask how yall actually stick to schedules and timers and stuff – because I can never stick to self imposed study schedules [like I will do this from 1-3pm and then this other thing from 3-5]

and even though pomodoro timers do help me a lot, I still find myself getting distracted during the focus time and then also sometimes forgetting to actually start my break timer, or the study timer, and then im like? do i skip a break bc i got distracted in my previous focus time?

Best regards Can The Gravitational Waves Produce A Light Beam?

Abstract

Paper hypothesis

The Gravitational Waves Are Produced By The Planets Motions Energies And Not By The Sun Gravitational Field

The hypothesis explanation

The question asks

Can The Gravitational Waves  Produce A Light Beam?

Let's summarize the answer in 5 points

(I) The FACT

The Gravitational Waves Produce A Light Beam

This Is Extraordinary: Gravity Can Create Light, All on Its Own

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/this-is-extraordinary-gravity-can-create-light-all-on-its-own/ar-AA19YL5d?ocid=hpmsnHYPERLINK "https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/this-is-extraordinary-gravity-can-create-light-all-on-its-own/ar-AA19YL5d?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=620db4352aa943e2b454919a7b724604&ei=83"&HYPERLINK "https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/this-is-extraordinary-gravity-can-create-light-all-on-its-own/ar-AA19YL5d?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=620db4352aa943e2b454919a7b724604&ei=83"cvid=620db4352aa943e2b454919a7b724604HYPERLINK "https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/this-is-extraordinary-gravity-can-create-light-all-on-its-own/ar-AA19YL5d?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=620db4352aa943e2b454919a7b724604&ei=83"&HYPERLINK "https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/this-is-extraordinary-gravity-can-create-light-all-on-its-own/ar-AA19YL5d?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=620db4352aa943e2b454919a7b724604&ei=83"ei=83

This new article tells - the gravitational waves can move by high velocity motion and can produce A Light Beam–

Shortly- the article answers our question tells (YES) (The Gravitational Waves Can Produce A Light Beam)

We know the light beam is produced by the value (C^2)

Means, the article tells

The gravitational waves can move by speed of light (C=300000 km/s) and that enables the gravitational waves to produce the value (C^2) and produce A Light Beam! 

(II) The FACT RESULT

I suppose the sun rays are produced by this method and not by any nuclear fusion,

Means, The Sun Is NOT Doing Nuclear Fusion To Produce Its Rays, instead, the sun rays are produced by the gravitational waves motions energies  

Here is important moment of the science history, No longer the nuclear fusion process will be used as the reason for the star rays production- instead- the gravitational waves motions will be used in place of it –

Clearly- we see the change in the mechanism

The sun nuclear fusion uses the nuclear fusion process to produce the sun rays from the sun mass as the source of energy- where the sun mass is changed into the sun rays by the nuclear fusion process- But the gravitational waves use the motion energy to produce the light beam (the sun rays)– means- the sun rays production method is changed- shortly- the production mechanism is changed (from nuclear fusion process) into (the high velocity motion) – and the source of energy is changed from (the sun mass) into (the gravitational waves motion energy)   

(Notice, I refuse to suppose there are many methods to produce the light beam, I suppose the light beams are produced by one method only)

That force us to analyze the gravitational waves production and Nature- let's do that in following- 

(III) The FACT REASON 

Let's ask

(1) (its source)

How Are The Gravitational Waves Produced?

Means

By What Method and from what energy The Gravitational Waves Are Produced?

(2) (its nature)

How Can The Gravitational Waves Move By Speed Of Light?

And - Can The Gravitational Waves Move By Less Velocity Than Speed Of Light?

(3)

Are there proves for this fact (the gravitational waves move by speed of light)?

(4)

Can We Follow The Gravitational Waves Motions Trajectories In The Solar System?

(5) 

Can The Gravitational Waves Be Reflected? And Why Is The Wave Reflected?

And

What Effects Are Produced By The Gravitational Waves Reflection?

(6) (its result)

How Can The Gravitational Waves Produce A Light Beam?

Means - If the gravitational waves move by speed of light (C=300000 km/s), how can the value (C^2) be produced to enable the gravitational waves to produce the light beam? This discussion aims to answer these questions in details. 

(IV) THE GRAVITATIONAL WAVES SOURCE

Let's ask (Where's Planet Motion Energy?)

Any moving body produces motion energy (1/2mv^2), but where's the planet motion energy? The planet can't store its motion energy inside its body because it would raise its temperature, and no planet temperature is raised by its motion- so- again (Where's The Planet Motion Energy?)

Logically, Planet motion energy must be stored in the space in waves form-

The space is similar to the sea of water and planet motion in space is similar to a fish swimming in water- the fish motion creates waves in water and the planet motion energy creates waves in the space- means- Planet motion energy is stored in the space in waves form. 

Let's see this picture accurately- we observe one swimming fish in the sea- the fish hits the sea water by its tail and pushes some water and by that the fish swims and moves- we conclude the water moves by a velocity Equal the fish velocity because of the reaction force- means- the fish swimming creates wave in the water and this wave moves by the fish motion velocity-  

Similar to that-

Mercury motion energy creates wave in the space- this wave velocity equals Mercury velocity (47.4 km/s) -means– while Mercury moves, its motion creates waves move by the velocity (47.4 km/s)- 

Shortly- All planets motions energies create waves in the space and these waves move by these planets velocities- The space waves are similar to the water waves, they move far from their sources and can be reflected-

The Conclusion

I suppose the gravitational waves are these space waves, they are produced by the planets motions energies and NOT by the Sun gravitational field 

We should notice that- the article tells (the gravitational waves can move by a speed of light) but the article believes the gravitational waves are produced by the sun gravitational field- BUT- I refuse this idea- the gravitational waves are NOT produced by any gravitational field but by the planets motions energies as I have explained.

(the discussion proves this fact by the analysis of the gravitational waves nature)

(V) THE SUN RAYS SOURCE OF ENERGY

The sun rays is created from the gravitational waves motions energies and the gravitational waves are produced by the planets motions energies-

Based on that 

The Sun Is A Phenomenon Created By The Planets Motions

And

The Sun Is NOT Doing Nuclear Fusion To Produce Its Rays- instead- The Planets Motions Energies Total Is Used To Produce The Sun Rays

Means

The Sun Is Created After All Planets Creation And Motion – means

The Planets Are Created And Moving In Their Orbits Around A Point Of Space Before The Sun Creation- And The Sun Is Created On This Point Of Space around which the planets revolve - And

No Planet moves by The Sun Gravity (Newton is Wrong) - And

The Sun Doesn't Produce A Gravitational Field (Einstein Is Wrong)

And

The Sun Is A Phenomenon Created By The Planets Motions– means-The Sun creation and death depends on a cycle – means – after this current sun death another sun will be created for the solar system.

The logical idea summary

We agreed that, the planets motions produce energies and the motions energies are stored in the space in waves form- simply- the stored energy should be used- by that this stored energy is used to produce the sun rays- means- the sun is the outlet for the stored motion energy in the solar system and without the sun the stored energy can cause a continuous risk of explosion for the solar system. 

Notice

This analysis explains why (the sun nuclear fusion theory is wrong logically) because the solar system is rich in the motion energy- the planets move and produce motion energy continuously and this energy is stored in the space – that tells – there's massive motion energy stored in the space- the logical idea tells this energy should be used to produce the sun rays- but – the scientists created very artificial reason for the sun rays production (the sun nuclear fusion theory)- the theory is wrong in principle because the theory left the stored motion energy without using in the space and created the artificial idea (which doesn't depend on any cycle or motion), while everything in the solar system depends on motions and cycles

You have a test tomorrow and you want to memorize everything perfectly? I got you!

Steps:

1. Sleep at 7 pm and wake up at 2 am (your brain works properly in calm situation so you can study better).

2. Before go to bed, read some topics and highlighter important things (your brain memorize what you see before going to sleep).

3. Study with flash cards will help you a lot.

4. Use pomodoro method (30 minutes studying 5 minutes rest).

5. Watch what you eat, eggs and fishes are good to stimulate your brain. Don't forget to eat breakfast.

Don't study because you have to, study because you love to. It will impact your brain a lot !!
