Y'all know how rare it is for me to cry over books, and I was tearing up because I want that. I want that so badly. I couldn't care less if I have some love story with roses and chocolate or whatever, I just want to have that.

It's the new Alice Oseman book, and it ends with

I'd love to read that, though I also think it may be a bit of an uncanny valley compared to my friendship with my best friend. We dated on and off throughout middle and high school because we couldn't figure out if we liked each other or if we like-liked each other. It finally clicked Senior year, and we've been self-proclaimed "platonic soulmates" ever since. We are each other's number one. I'm so lucky to have her.

I’d try sunlight and hydration, as much contact with people you love as possible, and attempt to make your hours of nothing count; read or draw or find something that gives a spark of meaning.

avoid panting, just try to breathe steadily and evenly.

In through the nose, out through the mouth.
Time your breaths with your footfalls.
Slow down if you start to hyperventilate or if you start to get tunnel-vision.

Also for the running part of cross country, you're going to have to develop a run with a spring (aka, bounce with every step). Why? Because the trails are usually on uneven terrain and if you misstep you can quickly recover. If you run flat-footed, like in track, you run the risk of tripping and wiping out on the trail.

Pro tips: When you're running downhill, spread your arms out for balance, and if it's across unstable rocks, run sideways (more likely to slide instead of trip that way). When going uphill, powerwalk. It may slow you down, but it's better than wearing yourself out trying to run up steep and/or long stretches of uphill trail.

(This is advice based off my experience in cross country. I did the sport 5 years ago, so be prepared for your experience to be different than mine)

@Mojack group

I’ve decided that I’m going to be doing online courses for school this semester (unsure about next one)
There’s still back to school plans for my province, but I heard some stuff and I’m not gonna take that sort of risk..plus as someone who has a four month niece who visits occasionally and older family members that also visit I’m just…taking that into account.

Plus I heard online courses are going to be like…

Semester one, two classes for September-November then two classes for the rest of the semester
And semester two I think is the same way

Decision just makes me feel overall more comfortable. I don’t think this pandemic is going to go away anytime soon (I think numbers may rise again during September) so doing online seems like a better choice overall, for me at least.

@evastardust groupRRAAAARRL

Mine's doing mandatory online school for the first quarter, and I think it's also limiting classes to four a quarter or something as opposed to eight? Idk I was a bit confused by that bit.
