windows

Windows are quiet storytellers, revealing how lives are lived—through the light they welcome, the views they frame, and the shadows they let linger.

I love it when scientific papers discuss some unclear choices or statements from older literature and just go

"yeah whatever the fuck that meant idk"

it's just so casual that I can't help but crack a smile

I love doing research, I am not tearing my hair out (lying)

when andrea gibson said “i suppose i love this life, in spite of my clenched fist.” & when ellen bass said “to love life, to love it even when you have no stomach for it”

Actual events from today

Me: i have to tell you a joke

Friend: okay

Me: *already giggling*

Me: okay so i was at a uni open day and

Me: *more giggling*

Friend: it's okay, take your time

Me: and i told someone i want to study actuarial sciences and

Me: *wheezing from laughter*

Me: she said WHAT A RISKY CHOICE

Me: *now literally unable to stand upright from laughter*

Friend: (not laughing or understanding why i'm taking my glasses off to wipe my eyes) i'm sorry, i don't know what actuarial science is

Reader, it took me 6 minutes to type this post because i had to stop halfway and get the giggles out. It's such a bad joke but it's so funny. And i told my actuary friends, and they reacted the exact same way.

for as much as studyblr may have its faults, it’s a pretty sizable online space that tells young girls that the absolute coolest thing you can do is be smart and work hard and believe in yourself and i think that’s pretty great

[sentientsky]

grabbing my friends by the shoulders and shaking them like YOU ARE NOT A BURDEN YOU ARE NOT AN INCONVENIENCE I CARE ABOUT YOU SO MUCH

[sentientsky]

important note: even if you ever are an inconvenience, idgaf—i want to be the one you inconvenience. you don’t need to be easy in order to be loved

i have these channels videos in bg when im working or studying and its such a help honestly. i also watch when im eating kinda like subliminally. ive said this b4 but the more you surround yourself with what you aspire to be even in social media- esp in social media when you use it a lot, it kinda works subliminally. i catch myself being sm more productive than i used to be, and i love that 4 me. don't forget to rest bc that's vv important.

chatgpt is the coward's way out. if you have a paper due in 40 minutes you should be chugging six energy drinks, blasting frantic circus music so loud you shatter an eardrum, and typing the most dogshit essay mankind has ever seen with your own carpel tunnel laden hands

[sharpth1ng]

Most of my job is marking essays and I will tell you this:

1. Most of the time it's painfully obvious when you're using AI because it spits out the most generic takes possible, and it often attributes statements to people who did not make those statements.

2. An AI paper fills me with a vitriolic rage the likes of no other. It makes me viscerally angry that you're wasting my time and yours this way. School is expensive. There are so many people who would love to be here, who would love to actually be learning but they cant afford to. Have some respect and actually use the education you're privileged enough to be able to pay for.

3. An AI paper will get you reported to the academic integrity office, because it's plagiarism. This is not an opinion of mine its a school policy. An academic integrity violation will follow you for the rest of your academic career (if you're even able to get anyone to give you a second chance) and beyond. Its not worth it.

4. A half assed, insane, incoherent paper that I know you wrote the night before? Relatable. Endearing. Ive been there, I can see you trying. You'll get the best mark I can reasonably give you- it might not be a great mark but it won't be as low as a chatgpt mark. You won't get an academic integrity violation on your record and you might actually learn something.

As a TA im always willing to help people if they ask for help. If you're confused or behind in a class I'm paid to help you keep up. Most schools also have writing centers, where you can access free tutors who will help you with outlines and editing your work.

There is no shame using those resources. The students that do use them reliably end up with better grades at the end of term, and they also save time because its a lot harder to spot your own mistakes than it is to have someone else point them out to you.

Ok rant concluded, carry on.

[ineffable-writer]

University tutor/TA here and I can second ALL of the above. Red Bull will destroy your evening. AI will destroy your academic career.

Writing a 40-minute paper on energy drink fuel is a time-honored tradition and infinitely more valuable to you as a person. We don’t assign essays for the purpose of gathering essays—we’re trying to teach you how to think critically and argue for your observations. There’s no point in having a degree if you don’t have the skills the degree confirms you were trained in.

scrolling down my dash just now… I’m reading “phd” here and “research assistant” and “postdoc” there or “masters” or “postgrad” and whatnot. Look at how far we made it, fellow studyblrs! Our little high school hearts with their little planners and highlighters would be so happy. :)))
