Noisy roommates

My roommates seem really nice but they’re a lot more extraverted than me, they pre-drink at midnight with music in the kitchen and cook/bring friends over in the early hours of the morning.

I really don’t want to be a grumpy flat mate telling everyone to be quiet past midnight, but I have to get up at 7 for lectures and work most days. It’s really frustrating when I get woken up at like 3am because someone’s got friends over, knowing I have to get up in a couple hours for work or uni.

In a pretty introverted person and I’ve tried really hard to come off as friendly, I really want to stay that way but I haven’t been getting much more than 5 hours of sleep for the last week and it’s kinda taking a toll on me 😭😅

For the record I’ve tried ear plugs, they aren’t quiet enough and I find them uncomfortable to sleep in, the same with headphones 😩.

I do love my flatmates they’re all chill people I just wish they were a little more quiet at night 🥹 any tips?

Help me choose shaders!

I play Minecraft with my friends on my laptop, I really want to get a shader pack that would make the game look a little warmer and get rid of the grids on large panels of glass blocks! Are there any super lightweight shaders that won’t blow up my laptop? I’ve seen a lot of recs for this mellow shader pack? Anyone got any more? Thanks so much!!

I’m terrified

For years and years my mum has told me I ‘should be on the pill’ because of my irregular and heavy periods and my acne (something I don’t really have a problem with)

I’m going to university soon and I’m considering starting but I am terrified. The thought of a pill suppressing hormones and potentially making me depressed, overweight or have more acne is really scaring me. All I hear is horror stories from being on the pill. I don’t want to change I just want my periods to come on time. 😭

How do I develop my art?

I’ve recently started drawing again and I’m trying to develop an art style similar to the official Splatoon style. This creator called ‘FrenchFrye’ on tik tok has INCREDIBLE artwork, exactly how I want mine to be.

I’ve watched a few YouTube tutorials and I don’t know what the next step would be!

I need to change the proportions on my drawings as they are a little too much like a humans! I’m struggling to colour and find lineart difficult, basically rendering pieces is really hard. Does anyone have any tips, timelapses or literally anything that could help me improve? Thanks guys 🫂

Ps I’m doing artfight for the first time this year and I’m using that as motivation to practice and try to improve!

Bauer / modified ice skate sizes…

Guys I’m about to buy some Cmm Next skates and I’m sooo excited!!!

I’m usually a Women’s size 6, in the past I’ve been fine getting women’s skates in a 6, I’ve been told I might want to size down to a 5.5 however they only have a 5 or a 6. Should I size down or stay as I am? Thanks guys! 🫶

Bauers with heels…

Hello!!

I really want some new skates, I see a lot of people with bauers and I love the look of them. They’re so cool! However I’ve skated on a heel my whole skating life and I’m worried I’ll have to relearn to balance all over again! Are there any variations of Bauers with a heel? Am I just overthinking it? Thanks so much guys!

For the past 3 months I’ve developed eczema. I had it in my childhood and it seems to have come back or really flared up. The skin on my face is extremely dry and flaky all over in a morning.

I saw a doctor and they told me to keep using this diprobase thing my mum got me, what I used when I was little. And it does NOTHING. I end up putting 2/3 GENEROUS layers on before I go to bed until I feel smooth and I can’t feel the flakes on my skin. (Additionally it stings! And is really painful to apply)

Then I wake up really flaky! I’ve started scrubbing my face with warm water because I find the flakes go when I’m in the shower.

I have no idea what to do, change product, buy a humidifier I just want to wake up with my skin not scaled and flaky!
