if you've ever wanted to be dialed in on the pulse of culture, i would recommend reading lit mags in general. want to know about new and up and coming authors, niche film, art galleries, various ephemera: lit mags (viva print media etc etc!!) but specifically college lit mags, whether that be "college review" type poetry or alternative magazines, i would recommend extremely. they're definitely more "rough" around the edges than your typical n+1 but it feels so deeply authentic and wonderful and the rate at which you can find new things is so much higher because no one involved is getting paid so there's a ton of freedom there. anyway, just look up any college and lit mag or publications to the search to find them. BONUS: they are usually free to read in a way that mainstream lit mags are not

literally nothing feels more special and cool than reading pieces of writing hand curated by editors that care deeply about literature. it’s like a literary art gallery. also its so fun to get magazines in the mail.

i can’t help you find like real money or prestige, but if you want to be in community with writers, poke around online. Magazines like HAD, Taco Bell Quarterly, Stanchion, are all very online and connected. chill subs / sub club newsletter have submission opportunities. lit mag news (on substack) often shares editor and reader positions.

if you think you’re the smartest person in your friend group you’re weird and annoying. the best friendships come out of mutual awe and respectability. be friends with people who make you want to know more things.

i will never be in a situationship in the same way i will never be in the land of oz--it's just not real. i think using the word doesn't let you self-reflect in a way that is truly helpful. i was telling my friend about the awkwardness of seeing an exhook up in a relationship bc i thought we had mutual feelings and she said "oh your exsituationship" and i thought (for the first time) no, we had clear boundaries i just got my hopes up. my point is that instead of using situationship as a catch-all for not quite dating or wtv failed prospect, take it as a moment to reflect on what exactly went wrong. idk if this is profound or not

i’m averaging 14,000 steps a day for the past year, why? i walk everywhere. at one point i was averaging 16,000 (this is my flex). you get to explore a city and now when people ask me for directions i can actually tell them bc i’ve gotten really good at knowing where i am. if it takes less than an hour for me to walk from a to b, i will walk. if i have enough time i’ll walk 2+ hours just to see someone. just put on a good playlist/pod and go go go!!
