Extremely new tcg player here last time I played was before COVID times and back then I was a kid so I didn't grasp it well

My favourite is clawitzer and I stumbled over the mega evolutions one with the ability "fall back and reload" one look at it and I knew I just had to

I've been brain storming a few ideas but I got zero clue how I should build around the lobster

Supporting pokemon I had in mind were Kyogre, palkia, Lapras or even well spring ogrepon

But like I said I'm inexperienced would love to hear some suggestions!

Anyone else in any kind of high leadership position feels the same way as me?

For context I'm the VP of my schools council and I've been happy but it's starting to take a strain on me recently

My presidential counterpart is female and initially the hype was that I was going to be put as prez but principal decided otherwise, continuing on I've been stuck in this constant cycle of taking up responsibility/pushed into responsibility because my counterpart isn't capable of.

My Google chat space is filled with countless messages from my teachers concerning events and logistics being planned and at every event I'm expected to be the outgoing one who's supposed to rally the crowd. I would have been fine with all of this if I didn't find out my partner has basically been cruising council on easy mode

The teachers barely contact her for logistically and she's basically never there for events only with her own group of friends instead of tending to the event as a whole. It's impossible to reach out to her because she's constantly on DND and doesn't reply until 12+ hours later

Worst of it all my friends told me she's basically blaming ME for all the problems that happen during events and saying that I'm undeserving of my role, saying how I'm there for "male representation" and how it's easier for me because I'm a guy while I'm doing her work

Having been doing well but been trying my best to bring myself into a better mental state before the new term starts but I just want to know if anyone has similar experiences

Hii I'm currently I'm currently 15 and I've been playing the trombone for three years now and I'm not sure why but I feel like a wall for some time now

​

Background info I played a tenor trombone for my first two years in school and in my third I was suddenly swapped to being a bass trombone to makeway for my juniors(🫩)

​

There wasn't any prep for me and I basically felt like I had the biggest reset as the mouthpiece size my school provided was really big and after research it was actually one of the deepest cup sizes out there... This swap actually happened in the worst time possible as I has a performance three weeks later and I had to learn new parts for two pieces which led to me lossing confidence in my skills

​

Fast forward to today and I think I've gotten the hang of it? I just need some advice on how to get better tone in my higher and lower register as well as my tonging...
