i swear studyblrs are forces of pure chaos because i look at y'alls posts and it'll be an aesthetic picture of a cafe and some notes but the caption will say some shit like "12/8/2019, my boyfriend cheated on me with my sister and my parents kicked me out ... but it's finals week so i'm studying for my english lit exam !!"
on the studyblr aesthetic & capitalism (surprise!)
iām glad once more the hot topic weāre talking about is the studyblr / dark academic / etcĀ āaestheticā & how they overglorify working yourself to exhaustion, championing a consumerist lifestyle that is at most ignorant to the common reality of students around the world and at worst classist in how it makes its viewers assume & lead to the common POV that in order to be aĀ āgoodā studyblr / etc you must own muji notebooks, go cafe-hopping, own leatherbound copies of english lit āāclassicsāā. because we HAVE been talking about this since, god, 2015?Ā
yet as the studyblr space became more capitalizedĀ (iām looking at you, every single popular studyblr who have moved on to ig & do sponsored posts every time they post ā circa mid 2016, 2017) this kind of aesthetic has just been entrenched in the community, because the well-known users have that kind of aesthetic. it DEFINES us. bujos that take too much time (literally theyāre not even bullet journals theyre just JOURNALS), watercolored notes, all of that. now, i truly canāt blame individuals here bc weāre all victims of the system, but realize how the studyblrs & studygrams that have a big follower count & get sponsors are those who can in the first place affordĀ that kind of aesthetic? that those who have theĀ āgrindā lifestyle donāt have anything to worry butĀ their academics (like, they probably have a part time job, but they wont die if they lose it)?
this post is rambly as hell but iād like to think im making a point that: we mustĀ detach ourselves from this line of thinking and continue supporting studyblrs that arenāt flatlay-photo based and instead FORM. A FUCKING. COMMUNITY. that we think we are but arenāt.Ā that actually interacts withĀ each other, as equals. where we donāt focus on pictures instead but actually our growth as individuals in this academic hell ā supported by so many others that are in the same journey as us.
(also dark academia ~aesthetic~ is so fucking western-centric it makes my blood boil as an indonesian but thatās another post for another time)
(thank you @blackgrad @idiotacademiaĀ @coffeeandpies & numerous others whoāve been talking abt this issue on the dash <3)
A sincere request from someone who has spent her entire adult life wishing people had kept better recordsā¦
In the coming weeks and monthsā¦ RECORD WHAT IS HAPPENING.
Start a journal, take photos, keep a video diary, make a daily blog post, jot a few notes down in a day planner, whatever!
It is not very often that you can be certain that youāre living in a time that historians will study in detail.
The nightly news can tell us the facts, twitter can tell us the larger cultural trends, but no one can keep an accurate record of your daily life and honest thoughts during this crisis but you.
Are you scared to death? Write it down.
Are you still thinking this is being blown out of proportion? Write it down.
Are you still being forced to work and are pissed as hell about it? Write it down.
Did you see someone do something kind that made you smile? Write it down.
Is your grocery store completely out of toilet paper? Take a picture.
Is your normally bustling neighborhood eerily empty? Take a video.
Did you see a really funny plague joke on twitter? Write it down so you/your grandkids and/or future historians can have a laugh.
I have never successfully kept a journal in my entire life, but Iāve been keeping one since the 10th. Nothing fancy. Just a summary of my day in quarantine, what my familyās up to, todayās news and my current thoughts.
Even if itās only for you to look back on this time honestly, without the bias of hindsight, you wonāt regret doing it.
Future historians will thank you.
hereās to the studyblrs who donāt have great calligraphy skills. who donāt have the patience to maintain a beautiful bullet journal. who have big messy handwriting. who donāt haveĀ āaestheticā study spaces. our work may not be pretty like we wish it could be, but we still keep ourselves motivated to do well in school thanks to the studyblr community we draw inspiration from. letās embrace our imperfections. our notes will not always look perfect, but whatās important is that we are learning. thatās what weāre all in this community for, after all. to learn.
āØWith most schools, colleges and unis closed around the globe and most studyblr students now having school at home I thought I would create a challenge to help everyone stay focused and productive and also to connect with people so even though most people are self-isolating, we donāt feel lonelyāØ
āØInfoāØ
Because no one really knows when weāre going to be able to go back to schools and I know it will depend very much on where you live, Iām going to do a month of daily āchallengesā starting on Monday 23rd March 2020 but if the quarantine keeps going Iāll try to add as the weeks/months go on
I want to see what yāall are posting so please use the tag #2020 quarantine challenge and Iāll track this tag and reboot as much as possible!

with my brain small, my meat huge, my pain endless, i tread onwards
wandering into old churches is a nice break from studying for midterms.Ā
a studyblr blog but itās just pictures of me crying in the libraryĀ
Ok but op, would they be artsy and filtered and like coming with captions like "2.18.20 back again // wow life has been hectic as all heck! First my dad found out my mom has been cheating on him (I knew) and then this midterm! Wow I should get back to studying, huh? š„ššš" liiiiiiiiike?
When a drunk girl outside a club bathroom speaksā¦ you listen. If she tells you that youāll find love despite being hurt in the past? Sheās right. If she tells you to stop being so self-aware? Sheās right. They are the modern day Oracles at Delphi and must be taken at their every word
outside after a lesbian concert (King Princess), i asked a girl dressed as jesus if she forgave me. a drunk girl ran up and slurred āi donāt mean to interrupt, but you donāt need to be forgiven. you donāt need to be forgiven.ā
So I bought a Moleskine for my 2020 bullet journal... Iām honestly relieved that I actually really love it!

How do you fall in love with yourself?
The same way you fall in love with someone else. Acknowledge the bad, embrace the good, and grow.
not to be dramatic but the trauma of being a daughter is real and my relationship with my mother is and will always be one of the most devastating and complex relationships i will ever experience
You will forever own a piece of me that I can never take back
