perhaps i am a little bit biased, but joining my university's radio station was the best decision i have ever made. i have made so many friends and discovered music i wouldn't have found on my own. my radio station has a collection of over 35,000 CDs that we play from and there's so much cool stuff in there. call into your local radio station too! request a song or just tell the DJ you like what they're playing.

local/college radio is the absolute best way to find new music, especially when they are non-commercial and have a lot of freedom with what they play. sometimes you need to look past some bad picks but that’s part of the fun. also!! when u get into a habit of tuning in routinely you hear the same DJs frequently and get to know them and it’s so cute. AND local radio stations often run events and you can get involved and meet your favourite DJs and all of a sudden it’s not just discovering new music it’s a community!!! long live college radio!!

Best thing I did this year. Forces me to work with a limited library of records, CDs, and cassettes, which makes me learn new music outside of an algorithm. I have joined Ann Arbor’s wcbn and it’s a great third space and a community full of different ages and life experiences. So wholesome and a great way to unwind!!

there’s not much that’ll make you feel like a person existing with your own thoughts and feelings until you start tuning into community radio stations, where the biggest sponsor is the local animal shelter.
they’re doing some of the most fun stuff over there, because radio is whatever they want it to be! and it’s such a fun way to get cool music recommendations. On college radio stations especially, there are often communist programs and book clubs, which we love. But check out your local radio’s website and see what’s up n coming.
Just, great stuff all around. Something about scheduled programs or DJ sets that you look forward to listening heals the body I think. Slower gratification, something or another.
And you don’t need to be in the car to tune in, there are tons of radio apps available to supplement your spotify time.

you don't see a lot of sidewalk etiquette these days. i feel like there are unspoken rules of walking on the sidewalk. some of these rules include:
-if you're walking in a group and taking up the entire sidewalk , move over when someone walks past you
-walk on the right side!!
-look up from your phone
-they are called sideWALKs for a reason. no bikes or scooters on the sidewalk.
feel free to add more and bring back sidewalk etiquette!!

last week i went to my local post office to send a letter and buy some stamps. i really enjoy going to the post office, but this trip felt different. i walked into the post office. it was completely empty and dimly lit. STAR 98.9 was playing on a radio. i waited for five minutes at the counter before i was helped. during those five minutes i felt a wave a nostalgia and peace. the wooden cathedral ceiling, dim lights, and sheer outdatedness of the building made me feel light and airy. i can really explain why or how i felt this way, but i highly recommend visiting your local post office.

okay this might be a controversial take but in the right circumstances it's goated. ideally you'd say this to person you've been seeing for two weeks and you know it's not going anywhere so you cut it off but have sex before you go your separate ways. it's hot and fun and nothing matters so who cares? you might want to ask them beforehand and say something like "wouldn't it by cool if we said "i love you" during sex even if we don't mean it?" or don't say anything at all and just surprise them.
