Nautical Tattoos

Crossed Anchors on the webbing between the thumb and index fingers marked a bos’n’s (or boatswain’s) mate.
A Harpoon marked a member of the fishing fleet.
Hold written on one set of knuckles and Fast written on the other was meant to give a sailor good grip in the rigging.
A Shellback Turtle or King Neptune was earned when a sailor made it across the Equator.
A Sparrow or a Swallow tattoo would go to a sailor for every 5,000 nautical miles they traveled–a swallow because it can always find its way home.

“high school will be the best four years of your life”

“college is so much better”

Okay, I don’t understand why I keep seeing all this stuff on Tumblr about high school being the best part of your life. Literally no one ever told me that my entire life. In fact, the general consensus among all the adults that I asked was that high school was hands-down the worst part of their lives. So where is this idea coming from? And why is everybody bitching about a concept that doesn’t exist?

Yeah. I also had every adult I knew tell me that college was going to be so much easier; like a fuckin breeze compared to high school or something. It’s uh, not. It’s not at all. I have just as much, if not more, work, and I have to deal with independent, adult responsibilities that I didn’t have before. Not to say that some parts aren’t better, or easier than high school, but everyone led me to believe it would be an all around easier experience than high school.

Which is 0% true.
