Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

When I was in high school, I wanted to go to a couple specific unis. Being rejected was one of the best paths ever. I went to community college, made lots of friends, had amazing professors, took part in lots of programs where I made long term friends who even stuck with me to transferring to my current uni. I took a bunch of fun classes there that allowed me to get the skills I need to land the internship I have.

So my advice is, as a you guy, you have lots of time so test the waters, experience stuff, have fun, and you'll enjoy whatever it is you end up in.

Don't be that one guy who has to finish college in 4 years and then figure out that school didn't teach you anything and you can't find a job. You never took fun classes, joined programs, join clubs.

I have controlling parents too but I am very good at hiding things so I just hide many things from them, like my sexuality, my beliefs, my music and etc
