Should I text first?
Yessir. I for one have never been a fan of coy texting tactics or playing hard to get vibes… Firstly, nothing is more swag than enthusiastic consent, and an open dialogue that isn't a chase is a good intro to that. Secondly, the kind of person I want to be with is the kind of person that thinks it's cool that I text first and reply quickly and wants to text me back quickly too! Soul mate vibes only. Generally, if you are editing yourself to be lesser for someone then it's probably bad, the right person for you will find everything you do the coolest thing ever, including texting first and if they don't, then they SUCK and they weren't the right person!
Should I prioritise grades over my social life?
I would actually lean to yes to a certain extent. I think in terms of your life and job prospects, being a straight A student doesn't really serve you that well. People don't actually ask for your academic transcript, but they will want someone they can talk and relate to. However, I think you can genuinely have both - it's not really one or the other. Find a way to study effectively by relating to the content and find a way to socialise without losing the next day and you'll be sweet. Things tend to work out.
Should I invest in crypto?
