masterpiece
everyone longs to create something beautiful. each person is given one life as their canvas and a different set of paints and brushes. sometimes you have to dig around in your art box to find the tools you need, but they are there. you possess the perfect set of paints for your canvas, the perfect instruments for your music. all you have to do is find them and learn how to use them. and then make...

homework tip
when feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, agitated, stressed, confused, or bored with your homework simply remove yourself to a solitary place, turn on some MGMT, arcade fire, or the like and dance till you’re hot, sweaty, and want to sit down (for me that’s about one song). then return, so tired you can’t do anything but think, to your homework. it works.
