SPOILER ALERT FOR SEASON 2

Ok so I watched the first 2 episodes of season 2 and was really annoyed because of the misunderstandings. Then I realized how Sawako never considered Kazehaya as a love interest before that point so that's why it was awkward, and it was actually going to be a good character arc. I AM NOW 7 EPISODES IN AND THEY ARE STILL NOT UNDERSTANDING EACH OTHER. I'm literally so mad it makes me want to stop watching but I'm going to push through because I know it gets resolved I just needed to rant

Does any one have any recs for shoujo animes with characters college age or older? I feel like most of the ones I find are in high school which is still fine and enjoyable but I'd like to mix it up with some older romance stories (I'm in college) that I can connect with a tad more.

When I was watching the first episode of the anime yesterday I was like "damn this is so cringe", and before I knew it that same day I'm on episode 13 and couldn't stop watching 😭

So happy to report that vyvanse has genuinely improve my life so much in the past 2 weeks I started taking it!! I focus so much better, I can regulate my emotions significantly more, I have more mental energy to socialize, and I can even work more of my job. My job is literally so easy, and yet before taking this I would be extremely burnt out after maybe 2 hours, go home immediately after my shift, and rot in my bed for hours recovering. I did not know this wasn't normal until I started taking vyvanse, and after my morning shifts I still feel energized and like I can go on with my day. This has led me to take on more shifts and now I can make more money. I had felt chronically tired before and again thought it was lifestyle habits, but I think my brain was just on overdrive all the time lol. I noticed for the first week my chest was in pain and I went to the doctor about it to get an EKG (everything was good). I also felt like insanely out of it the first couple of days. Turns out when I first started taking it I coincidentally not only pulled my back muscles working out, but was sick. and also probably was just adjusting to medication. So not saying you should ignore chest problems at all, but rest assured if it is not any underlying heart condition it might subside like it did for me. But again GET IT CHECKED OUT if you're in pain! Literally drove me insane because I get bad health anxiety. But after doing stretches and resting, and also having adjusted now to the medication, it's incredible. I even can drink coffee again, and don't feel the need to drink more than one cup. I have a normal appetite back, and I also tend to drink a lot more water now.

Genuinely I feel unstoppable and so much happier. I will say my anxiety worsens near the end of the day but noticed with exercise, deep breaths, and making sure to eat protein I can lessen the crash by a lot. In fact I don't even really feel it as much and can still go to bed at a decent time. Can't believe I waited 19 years to try this, this would have been so helpful to me in high school when I constantly was overwhelmed.

Anyways just wanted to share this positive experience here :) best of luck

So around 6 months ago I deleted TikTok for a while and only recently downloaded it again. I deleted it initially because I was addicted and it was cutting into my life too much. I found that when I did I watched long form content a lot easier, and would go on platforms like Pinterest, not just sit in my bed doomscrolling 10 second videos. Now that it's summer I figured I could be on TikTok because I don't really have any responsibilities aside from work (I'm in college). When I first redownloaded it, it was fine and I'd go on it for a little and get off, but slowly I feel like I'm getting more addicted again. Ironically, my content was so perfect for me at first and now when I scroll my fyp it's not even stuff that relates to me that much but I find myself going down rabbit holes on useless stuff. I also notice I get so anxious when I realized I've been doomscrolling and feel unmotivated to do anything else and like I can't stop. But the thing is I do find inspo on TikTok and I like watching funny videos. I feel like I gain insight from certain posts even, whether it's a suggestion for a book, hobby, craft, general aesthetic ideas, fashion, music, podcasts, etc. I also love watching collecting videos because I'm pretty into that kind of thing. So there are a lot of perks to the app for me but I also just feel like I'm someone that can't use it normally. Any advice to people with similar issues with social media? Is keeping it deleted really the only solution? I want to find a way to use it moderately and not get sucked into it every time I open the app, feeling like I'm always reaching for it if I'm not preoccupied with something else.
