hi hi hi, pinned post time (subject to change bc people change)!
online aliases (in order of preference): ally, ally :), allyz, ally smile
essentials: she/her, person of color, in uni on my 2nd degree (help) ♡
mainly post stuff about my life! i try to keep my profile a happy, comfy & safe place. i also really like existing peacefully, so if you’re here to say things that will hurt people’s feelings or cause arguments, this is not the place for you :)
interests:
detroit: become human, skyrim: the elder scrolls v, minecraft, SCP, one direction, louis tomlinson, drawing, writing, donating blood, everything everywhere all at once, resident evil 2 & 4, valorant, heathers (both movie & musical), hitman
ok i died for finals for a bit but we’re so back (actively avoiding my last 2 assignments)
go to conferences about topics you’re even tangentially interested in!! some of them have free food :3
getting so comfy around friends that you can afford to be airheaded & annoyingly clingy without being judged is super duper nice
go to professors’ office hour lectures!! i was the only one who showed up to one, and ended up getting an entire one-on-one lecture, consisting of a 1.5-century overview of the West Bank region with political and cultural context from various countries over the course of 2 hours, from a qualified prof with 10+ years of experience living in, working in, and studying the region 
for obvious reasons i am now even more strongly inclined to try and help get food and medical aid into Palestine
did not think i would need the memo, but apparently dancing for 5 hours straight without eating any food is painful — surprise!!
2 things that would be really cute to re-add to alpha wasteof would be being able to open comments in a new tab + post drafts being saved when you close out of the writing field ;0 maybe
started the day with frybread, coffee, and a visit to a museum w a friend…. honestly this is already one of the better Valentines Days i’ve had in my life
been relegated to designated parent in multiple friendgroups; any drunk friends around me are in good hands :) (i drink minimally because my poor liver has already been through enough sleep deprivation)
congrats to everyone who is making their way through this academic term (i haven’t gotten more than 5 hours of sleep a night in weeks)
i make a really good designated driver type - but like, i’m unlicensed, so i mean that in that i don’t drink and walk my friends home
