05.02.2022 // finally found the motivation to do something for my bachelors thesis. i read the first paper (though it wasn't the first attempt, tbh, i just didn't understand anything before that). and i wrote some descriptions of experiments. now i'm looking back into spectroscopy because i have no idea what i'm actually doing in the lab (what's new about that?).

lofi beats have replaced my internal monologue

[theunaestheticstudyblr]

This is me telling you with your face in my hands that if you failed a class, that's ok! That if you didn't even go to your final because you knew you were going to fail that class, that's ok! That if you were passing until you bombed the final, that's ok! That if you sent a panic email to your professor the night before grades were due asking if you could do anything and got a negative or no response, that's ok!

Failing a class doesn't make you less. Failing a class or a whole semester doesn't immediately comment on your value or worth or intelligence. Your grades don't reflect you. Maybe you work a full time job or two outside of classes. Maybe you have kids. Maybe you are going through a bad mental health episode. Maybe you've experienced a death, a divorce, a breakup, or another major emotional event. Maybe you lost your job or housing. There are so many things that you don't receive grace for in academia because you're expected to perform perfectly regardless of everything else.

So listen to me. FAILING A CLASS OR A SEMESTER IS OK! Give yourself the grace you'd give to a stranger or a friend coming to you crying and distraught because they failed. You wouldn't tell them that they're stupid and lazy and should have worked harder. You'd comfort them and tell them that it's ok. You need to give yourself that same energy babe.

Academic wins can look like:

Getting an A on your test

Organizing a study group

Studying daily for an hour or two

Having perfect attendance

Getting that grant/scholarship

Getting ahead in all your classes

Academic wins can also look like:

Actually being able to focus in class for once

Getting enough sleep and food

Fighting through your depression and finishing a single assignment

Turning in a paper a little late

Taking a mental health day

Getting a C on a test you thought you failed

Academic wins are personal. They're different for everyone and depend on you, your goals, your mental and physical health, and your overall well-being. For someone working full time, getting that C and showing up to class once a week is a win and something they should be proud of! For someone who has everything financially covered and can devote plenty of time, getting the deans list should be something they rightfully should brag about! Achievements are Achievements regardless. Don't let anyone take your wins from you

3/100 days of productivity

I really wish i had something more festive to post, but we make do. This morning felt nothing like Christmas but everything like winter, down to the overcast skies and crisp breeze. I tried to make myself as cosy as possible, and so I finished reading An Enchantmemt of Ravens today. It got me out of the reading slump ive been in recently. Its such a wonderful book with hilarious dialogue and such vivid writing. I give it five stars and already have reccomended it to a friend.

Im also working on a book cover design today. The guy's been a bit difficult so far but at least im getting paid. Creatives of all kinds; know your worth, don't let people exploit you for free

Have a lovely week and happy new year!
