my name is magnus chase. i’m sixteen years old. this is the story of how my life went downhill after i got myself killed.
I think my favorite part of Stranger Things is how Will went to play at Mike’s house and subsequently ended up being taken by a monster into a parallel world where he had slugs jammed down his throat and did everything that he could to survive, communicating with his mother through the lights, as his brother and his brother’s crush tried to hunt the monster and his friends befriended a telekinetic girl who has been kept in a secret lab her entire life who may or may not be the monster causing them all to witness multiple deaths and commit multiple felonies…
…and then one month later, Will is like, “I’m going over to Mike’s house again.” and Joyce is just like, “Lol k.”

It’s Ya Girl’s College Scholarship Masterpost
Hello internet civilians! As some of you may or may not know, my name is Dana and I am a high school senior that is ALWAYS on the prowl for trying to get to college for as cheap as possible. I’ve come across 1000′s of scholarships that I simply don’t qualify for, so I thought “hey, why not share these with random people on the internet that don’t know where to start?” You asked the question and only answers you shall receive.
Please remember to credit me for this masterpost because I spent a lot of time and energy on it :)
PLEASE ALSO REMEMBER THAT A SCHOLARSHIP IS WORTHLESS IF YOU DO NOT APPLY FOR IT.
SO DO NOT JUST SAVE THIS POST IN YOUR DRAFTS AND NEVER USE IT. ACTUALLY WRITE AN ESSAY OR FOUR

Does anybody remember when I put a missile through a portal, in New York City? We were standing right under it. We’re the Avengers, we can bust weapons dealers the whole doo-da-day, but how do we cope with something like that?
