my calves are numb 😭

i've been a couch potato for all of hs and recently started playing badminton w ppl in college

we've played like 2 hrs a day for the past 3 days and my legs/shoulders are genuinely cooked. like it hurts to move 🫠

does anyone have advice on what exercises to do to build muscle in those areas so i don't injure myself? and should i even play today with my legs feeling like this? (it's just calves + shoulders)i know i should play less but this is the one week i have before school starts and it's so fun i don't want to stop.. :(

lost & confused college student :(

i'm 18 and starting college in the fall. i have about 2k in cash saved over the years (chinese new year money) and 2.5k in scholarships.

i don't think i can open a roth ira b/c i've never had a job. does anyone have suggestions on what to do?
my main concern is fhat my cash has lost value over the past decade. i would rather not continue like that..

i'm looking for some way to invest/save my money long term(trying to start early!) but am not sure what type of account i should open or where/if i should invest. any advice or suggestions would be very appreciated :) sorry for the vague question!

how can i make this white t shirt larger

the blue shirt is the size i prefer(i like oversized clothing but can fit in the white one. it's just too small in the shoulders&arm holes)

in tokyo rn, my wallet is done for 🥀

does anyone know what colorway this is? nib says 18k750, and it looks like dark blue but when i tilt it it looks more purpley

also, the nib kinda catches on the gate when i click the pen, is that normal? 😭 like the tip of it will touch the gate a little

i'm probably just being paranoid but since this was my first rly expensive pen i js wanna make sure!
