Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Remember to look after yourself. When you're already calm and happy within yourself it's easier to be 'successful' in whatever you're trying to do without burning out, which makes it easier to be calm and happy, creating a positive spiral.
That professor who is happy, calm and confident? He's had a great weekend skiing/hiking/playing with the kids or grandkids/generally looking after themselves by unwinding and enjoying themselves. He's calm because his mind is clear and he has the energy he needs to work and confident because he knows he's good at what he does and trusts himself. That might not be your professor exactly, but they're examples from profs I've had in the past.
Do yourself a favor, take half an hour out today and do something positive to improve your own well-being. Take a walk somewhere green, write a list of all the things you need to do that are bothering you, contact a friend you haven't spoken to in a while just to say hi, if you've got some slack time in your week see if there's some voluntry work you could enjoy doing, start learning a new skill. Just pick something and do it, even if you'd rather be sitting in a dark corner ignoring the world. Keep doing it. Things can and will get better if you push them in that direction. Good luck!
