Hello

[solenne]

I have no idea what I am doing. It's probably quite obvious I've never used a site like this. I discovered it today while falling down a rabbit hole of old internet drama, and I perhaps missed the old design and internet culture I never got to experience. I thought I'd probably just quietly follow what's happening, as I am not a big poster even on social media I've used all my life (with the exception of a private profile where I bore my friends with videos of what books I've read etc.), however, I'm in a terrible mood due to tomorrow's exam, so I thought I might vent. Don't really want to recount what's bothering me. It's mostly burn out, tight exam schedule, lack of time to study and take regular breaks....and the fact that I really have no hope for tomorrow's exam and it will be probably my first time failing an exam! Yay! I sound so stupid, but this is surprisingly bothering me.

This is a terrible first post. It probably should have been an introduction and not just a vent, but hey!
I don't know how to format (obviously), so I guess tips would be appreciated. (Can't wait to see how terrible this will look once I press post lol)

Someone also gave advice to not be afraid to interact with people on here, as this is kind of the point of the site, so I guess hit me up, and I'll respond If figure out how to.

Welcome to Dreamwidth! Sorry to hear things are stressful right now, but I hope you find what you're looking for here. Ysabet below seems to have set you up quite well re: getting started on DW. It's great to see new people dipping in here, so yeah definitely don't be afraid to share and post, even in a group that seems dead. Personally I'm delighted to see activity in communities that have been quiet for a while. ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

Thank you! I will try to loosen up a bit and post. Your journal is one of the first ones I found, and I find it really interesting, so maybe that'll be my inspiration to post as well.

Thank you! I'm a late-comer to Dreamwidth also, I only joined a few years ago. One of the nice things about how small-scale it is is I think there's really no wrong way to post!
