The Winx! Probably my favourite show when I was young. I always thought their fairy form wasn’t very practical, so I to gave the girls a little redesign. I hope you like it!

Isabella Kauakea Yau Yung Aiona Abbott was the first Native Hawaiian woman to earn a PhD in Science. She was a global expert on limu, a Hawaiian term describing underwater plants including dozens of edible seaweed species.

Traditionally, limu has been an integral part of Native Hawaiian diets and is rich in vitamins. Limu can be added to foods, preserved with salt, used in ceremonies, and more. Isabella first learned about limu through her Native Hawaiian mother, who passed on ancestral knowledge about edible seaweeds, flowering plants, and other native species.

Through her decades of research, posts at Stanford and the University of Hawaii, and published works, Isabella helped pass on vital knowledge about seaweeds. She’s also responsible for the scientific discovery and naming of 200+ species, earning her the nickname “First Lady of Limu.”

Isabella passed away in October 2010 at the age of 91. She leaves behind a legacy of knowledge on limu for Native Hawaiians and the scientific community.

how to avoid education burnout

have 3 achievable goals a day: having a laundry list of things to do everyday is super unrealistic, and you just end up feeling bad about yourself because you didn’t accomplish your goals for the day.

leave your sundays open: i love sundays because they’re my day to chill out and catch up on school work that i wasn’t able to finish during the week.

recognize when you’re at your emotional limits: forcing yourself to get work done when you are unable to comprehend your study material does not benefit anyone.

learn how to say no: people will ask you for your time and it will stretch you to the limit, whether it be at your job, in your extracurriculars, or in your personal life. know when to step back and say no.

take care of yourself physically: take breaks, go for walks, shower regularly, get enough sleep, eat healthy, see your friends

celebrate your accomplishments: go out to eat with friends after a big exam, indulge in a night off after a busy week with some netflix and wine

make a study plan beforehand: it can be daunting to see how much work you need to put in to a class or task beforehand, but this allows you to spread your work evenly so you don’t become overwhelmed.

learn how to ask for help: it is very rare that people make it through school, whether it be high school or university or any graduate program, without needing the advice of others or just a kind soul to vent to. find that person.

never forget your hobbies: you will need things that keep you sane. if you love to play music, write, play volleyball, or cook, make you sure you don’t lose these things. they will become your escape when times get tough.

log off from time to time: it is exhausting to be constantly connected to social media and your email. just physically disconnecting from these for a night to take care of yourself can really help you clear your mind.
