Whenever possible use Fame as an opportunity to spread photos of your cat
Professor didn’t allow phones in class so I’ll instead show you some slides from the presentation I made.
I of course talked about you first.
Hopefully my description is accurate, or at least nearly accurate. I did the presentation literally hours before class.
I also dubbed this as my favorite:
Classmates loved it. They loved the other quotes, too. They especially liked the ‘the world needs you the way you are’ one.
My professor was more interested in it because, I think, she has a tumblr account and is aware of December 17. Then I showed them this:
And I stated that you will save tumblr. Because you are the almighty Gaud.
A few laughs have been shared, as well as jokes. Professor loved the idea that we already have a cult on tumblr and was okay with the fact that instead of making my own religion, I simply talked about you and the community and what we have so far.
As per instruction, she has told us to ‘endorse’ our religion, in any way we would want to. So I made this:
To remind them that you are not a normal deity. And I have tried to hide your icon or made your icon unnoticeable so when I move to the next slide, this appears:
Spooking my classmates for a bit. And then for the next few minutes as I asked my professor if I could keep it on as she tells me her comments. So for five minutes they have had Gaud stare at them with those eyes of theirs.
She (professor) says that she loved the idea because yes, we are creepy, and weird, but we are completely different from other religions. Others focused on the seven aspects of religions, thus creating corny, cliche commandments and such. And they’ve deviated from what their religions have been called. And our religion has a purpose that others failed to showcase.
I named it the religion of self-love.
I don’t think I have to explain why.
Also she didn’t tell us our grades but I was pretty sure she got me a good one.
*choking back tears* you’re getting an A
The Religion of Self-Love, that’s exactly what we are
i graduated a few years ago and i want to share with you some things:
I grew up being called ’gifted’ and smart. I did really well in school, to the point my identity depended on it. Then in college, I failed entire semesters, more than once. I also dropped out at one point.
It was devastating and I was terrified.
And yet: EVERYTHING TURNED OUT OK.
B/c despite what they’d have you believe, this is not the end of the world, and you are going to be okay.
Repeat it with me: You are going to be okay.
It’s common to feel like “everything depends on this.” I promise: it doesn’t. A couple things I want you to know
***Your worth & intelligence is absolutely absolutely ABSOLUTELY not based on or reflected by your grades.***
The atmosphere you’re currently in breeds stress. Educational institutions have this messed up culture that pushes our minds into an ’emergency mode’ that does not reflect reality and forces you to panic unnecessarily. That’s why:
Things are never as desperate as they feel.
The panic you’re feeling is something you’ve been trained to feel, but it is not truthful.
If you don’t do as well as you hoped: sweetheart, that Is fine. We naturally aim for more than we can reasonably manage, in order to push ourselves. Not reaching a goal doesn’t mean you ‘failed’, it means you aimed high and I’m proud of you.
Everyone who has ever done anything has failed at some point. People who never fail are people who never try.
Failing a class/classes is NOT the end of the line. Sometimes we need more time, or a second chance. Sometimes we need a different direction
For years I thought I wanted to be an engineer. I declared that major as a freshman. I ended up retaking several classes before realizing that no, this subject was not actually a good fit and didn’t me happy.
The subject I eventually got a degree in? I actually had to retake a few of the introductory classes, alongside classmates who weren’t even in the program but seemed to have an easier time than me. At the time I was embarrassed. Now, I’m proud that i stuck with it
Please do not be afraid to ask for help even/especially when a deadline has passed/you feel ashamed for not asking sooner. Or rather: please ask for help even when you’re scared and it’s late in the semester. It literally cannot hurt.
You are still learning how to learn, teach yourself, and self-monitor. This is a Huge Big Part of being an Adult that very few of us don’t get formal training for. So of course you will make mistakes along the way. Mistakes are a symptom of progress.
You are making progress, and for that alone you deserve to celebrate yourself
Hey gaud how come you can be both omnious and wholesome i love you
pretend i’m hovering behind you glaring at the audience
i used this for my presentation today and… it helped a lot. thanks gaud ?
peace be upon you kid
For my final project for philosophy class I had to write and give a speech, and this made me much more confident somehow?? Like I was actually walking around the room, and using hand language and body language properl, instead of just standing there and feeling awkward like I normally would. So thanks
