Friends. The time we’ve been waiting for is fastly approaching. It’s time to do the final preparations for trailblazer. We’ve all been writing and reading guides, consulting the conch, and theorycrafting out the wazoo. The content coming out of the weskillnow sub is alot of fun. So I’m gonna take a minute and address something besides the old school content, which is you.
Hey friends, as you trailblaze let’s make sure we’re keeping care of ourselves. For alot of us this is probably going to be a pretty sizable time sink, and even if you’re only playing a dozen hours a week this could change alot of your schedule and could result in some unhealthy habits, habits that burn you and prevent you from getting dragon cup. You deserve that dragon cup, so you gotta take care of yourself so you can cross that finish line. I’m not gonna tell you that playing a metric ton is unhealthy, but the things that should be done when you’re not going hard into trailblazer.

Your body needs things

​

• Stay Hydrated: Friendos, just drink water. Please drink one cup of water for every one cup of whatever else is in your cup.
• Caffeinate responsibly: Don’t destroy your sleep schedule for weeks at a time. It’s okay if you want to pull all-nighters, they can definitely be fun, but don’t do it every night.
• Sleep: SLEEP. YOU NEED IT. SLEEP YOU FOOLS, everyone is different and you might need more or less than someone, but listen to your body. When your body tells you that you need sleep put your head on a pillow and don’t pound another energy drink
• Eat: Eat food, good food. Eat vegetables, please. I’m begging you.
• Snack responsibly: Make sure you have a diversity of snacks, chips, candy, fruit, nuts, granola, ice cream. Change it up for the sake of your body and your palette. Also try and make sure that you let yourself get hungry enough to eat a full meal rather than graze all day.
• Move around: Stretch, take a walk. It’ll be helpful to your body, your eyes.

Your Mind/heart/soul needs things

​

• Anything else: Please take some time to do other things you love. Coming back to the league will be fresh and you’ll enjoy it more.
• People: look I know the joke is that OSRS players don’t have friends, but I know you do. You have friends, and if nothing else I’ll probably be trying to hang out in the Weskillnow Discord voice chat and getting others to do the same.
• Beauty: Enjoy some art, some music, some nature.
• Think: Take some time to think about the good things you’re enjoying, and if you find your head is a rough place to live in. Then reach out to friends, tell them you’re struggling and listen to them.
• Clean: Guys, clean your playing space. Doing this ahead of time will help you stay focused. Also take care of personal hygiene. Not doing those things can compound mental health issues and honestly you deserve to like the way you smell/look/feel.

Random Other Stuff

​

• Job: If you have a job, then you should work it. Like full stop. Some people are taking some time off, and that’s cool, but if you can’t make sure that you’re not hurting your job prospects with trailblazer. Bills need ot get paid, and being unduly stressed will affect your ability to trailblaze
• Vote: this is an American exclusive, but vote. Participate in the system and regardless of how much you loathe both of the candidates you should vote. Regardless of position or reasoning vote. Don’t let trailblazer stop you. In fact most states have early voting up right now. If you vote today or tomorrow you won’t have any xp waste! For everyone who can’t vote for whatever reason, sorrynotsorry.

Tl:dr

You deserve dragon cup, but only because you deserve lots of nice things. Make sure that you treat yourself how you deserve during this time and going forward. Listen to your body and mind when it tells you what you need. And if you need anything, bug me on discord or in main game in the clanchat, I'm GoblinWaltz or Goblin Waltz in every spot! HAVE A DOPE TIME Y'ALL
