How to fail university
First of all, attend a university, which you are most certainly not fond of. Work really hard but not as much as you see fit, instead push as hard as expectations require, and burn out. Once you're incapable of doing anything further, it won't be hard to fail enough tests to fail several subjects. I know you're smart enough to get to the exams, even if you were a total mess when you had tests. Once you're miraculously facing a couple of exams (it's wondrous because you haven't yet failed by merely the tests), make sure you're extremely busy with unrelated business and when it comes to the very week of the exams, procrastinate! More than ever in your life! More than altogether in your life! Then, when you've done enough procrastination and that voice in your head is shouting, that you should study, do some studying but pay attention to do it very skin-deeply. Okay, you're at the exam and you've completed an utterly half-ass process of learning, a.k.a no learning at all, you can be at ease, for there's a fair chance, that you'll fail. Every single subject. One by one.
There you have it, my secret recipe for failing uni.
This is an ironic approach of telling my story at how I've performed so far. OK, maybe the end was just a predection, but a very realistic one. My point is not to gain some of yourvaluablepity, and definetely not to set up an example. Well it is in fact an example but not one to follow.
What I'm trying to say with this excessive and rather sarcastic post is hidden in the very first sentence. Do not EVER give in to reasons, that lack the consideration of YOU. Every single person is unique and has a life, that has the potential to be full. However, this diversity naturally implies the pointlessness of schemes. We can't live by the guidance of movie-themes or advices of people we look up to (or sometimes ones, that we don't even look up to). We have to find our own way. And the path, that we'll follow, will eventually determine, whether we arrive at our destination or not.
Our primary aspects of considering careers are its profitability and the likelihood of being employed. But these won't make our lives worth living. Either we accept it, or not, the truth is, that we spend a major part of our days in the little boxes we call workplaces. And it matters enermously if it's right for us. And not in a sense of us being able to provide our family with everything. Our profession has to make us happy. As St. Augustine said "Love and do what you will.".
My conclusion will be hard for some of you to swallow but please bear with me. The Bible says, that we shouldn't worry about our needs for they will be fulfilled be the Divine Providence of God. And this is what makes me calm while I rerender my plan for the future. My faith gives me confidence to say all this. This is why I'm not afraid to say, that there's a certain destination I aim for. This is why I'm on the side, that says you can bravely follow your dreams. Because when you're convinced, that your dreams are justified by the Great Maker, you fear not what is yet to be faced.
I was so FREAKING excited for this year, for January considering it's also my birthday month but I feel so depressed now. Not a NICE way to start a year. Why the heck I have to feel like a failuređđ

@helimir brought up such a great point in her tags on this post
The topic of the glory of failure in Tolkien's work is a very interesting one.
In fact, most endeavors end up in failure.
Whether it's Frodo failing to complete his mission, Smeagol failing to free himself of the ring & Gollum, Boromir failing to save the hobbits (or Gondor), the Noldor failing to defeat Melkor, FĂŤanor & the FĂŤanorians failing to take their revenge and (for most of them) their Silmarils, Maedhros failing to escape his doom, Fingolfin failing to defeat Melkor, the whole Nirnaeth, etc...
They all fail. But the failure is so epic. So spectacular, there is such a grandeur, such valor & prowess, such tragic beauty, such tales, dare I say, such grace to their failure that could never be found in victory.
They're all still hailed as heroes. (Or at worst, tragic fallen heroes or anti-heroes.)
Whether it's Frodo managing to keep his soul if not his peace & happiness & old life for the mercy & pity & kindness he once showed, whether it's Smeagol unintentionally destroying what destroyed him & saving Frodo's soul, Boromir regaining his honor, Fingolfin leaving a lasting scar on Melkor, Maedhros' true nature finally showing itself after so long in his last moment & expressing such deep shame & regret by killing himself when the Silmarils judged him evil, Maglor's good nature shining through even in his worst moments when he decided to raise the half-elven twins & passed down the best of himself still remained to him to them & them growing up to become such great people, & eventually his good nature showing shame & regret by condemning himself to be forever separated from people & singing songs of regret...as @helimir beautifully expressed, if it's not outright a redemption arc, it at least feels like it. Their struggles mattered, but even more than that, their struggles were what mattered.
Even in things like Nirnaeth that were nothing but catastrophes, they're such beautiful, epic, spectacular catastrophes.
Really, how many endeavors truly result in success?
They made an effort, & therefore, they left an impact. & for that, they went down in history. If not as heroes then at least as tragic figures.
They dreamed, they hoped, they willed, they fought, they tried, they were here.
& that mattered.
You're never satisfied you fucking cunts, look at your lives. You fucked and gave birth to me, a fuck up. Couldn't even breed and raise me right to be like the monotone topper you wanted, IT'S HILARIOUS. And well, I'm never saying I'm even the slightest bit good, but atleast I'm not a fucking life sucker like you guys. Eat shit, seethe, cope harder.
Getting stuff from DR to CR (Interesting interview)
Yes, it is possible. I saw an interview with a shifter who has been shifting for tens of thousands of years on Amino. In his interview, he said that he tried to bring objects from other realities into this reality. He would concentrate and think that he had the object he remembered in this reality, and the object he had in mind would appear in his hand.
However, there were some limitations, such as not being able to bring objects back exactly the same. For example, objects created in worlds with incompatible physics would have a similar appearance, but the function or behavior of the object would change to fit this reality.
I have also seen several shifters experiment with bringing objects back, some with failure, some with success.
You can find an interview on this interesting topic here:
Start New
There comes a time when you should knock the walls down
And start new, just in a reckless attempt to lose the frown
I canât let go of the unhappy pictures on the wall
I had no choice but to slouch as everyone stood tall
Gravity loves me too much
I canât let go of the addiction of your love
If only you didnât have to be beyond and above
You gave me such a hope that will only lead me to failure
I need to just knock it down but I'm not ready
But living with rotting moldy wood could be deadly
There comes a time when you canât keep replacing the beams
Of your self esteem
Why did we, as a society, allow tea parties to go out of style? I consider this a great failing on our part.

It doesnât seem like much but I just failed for the third time on the exact same project and Iâve already spent way too much money on it and itâs after 1am and I think I might cry but I donât want to wake my wife up.
You are the poem
That I dream to write
But fail to grasp
