chugging a thermos full of earl grey tea, close to tears, as i prepare to study: it is a privilege to have the opportunity to learn. you can't expect perfection from yourself, but you must try your best anyway, because you owe it to yourself. you will not understand the material on the first try and that's okay, but you must not give up. learning in itself requires repetition, requires practice, requires diligence, requires passion and enthusiasm. do not see studying as a task you have to complete, but rather something you get to do. studying is nourishment for the soul. do not let your anxiety, fear and perfectionism take this away from you. remember why you love this and use it as your guiding light
