i actually never really had any swifties friends in real life, i remember people hating on her, posting stories and retweeting how she was fake and annoying, so every genuine swifties i know has always been people i met online.

now since folklore and the eras era boom, everybody loves her and it has come full circle. i saw the same people trying to get tour tickets, posting about her taylors version songs, rediscovering her music 🥺

and i am a bit cautious each time because i remember the dark days. i embrace change of opinions but i also wonder as to "will they jump back on the hate bandwagon once its not cool to be a fan of taylor again" so i learn to just enjoy it on my own safe space 🖤

taylor re-releasing her music will always be special to the fans as we grew up with each eras and getting to relive it again. the tumblr days, the swift life, drawing 13 on our hand spinning in a sparkly dress, music off of streaming services, swiftmas, target runs, secret sessions, slideshows of men she never dated, her family, friends, and of course her writing abilities.

i am going to the eras tour in a month, and it will be exactly 10 years since i last saw her live. im gonna take the moment, taste it and enjoy it 🤍

i'm so proud of taylor's growth and i will push myself to work as hard as she does in my line of passion too. till then, love you tay!

I have always wanted to open an Etsy shop but I never put the thoughts into action. However, 2020 has proved that there are always going to be uncertainties in life. The best thing to do is just take the first step.

So here we are. I have just created an Etsy shop and I am kicking it off with a set of Lightroom presets. Do support my first listing by buying it on the Etsy shop here. It would mean a lot to me. 

Anyway, stay safe everyone and WEAR A MASK.

Imagine where you could be by this time next year. Now do the work

I’m going to start a ‘journal’ for my bachelor thesis process to see how I’m going to do over a longer period of time. Another post about it is going to be uploaded soon. Let me just say that I finally feel ready for doing this. My student exchange has given me tools to work on such a long paper and completely in English, plus some research papers have been published this year which turn out to be very useful. Cheers to graduating before the end of this year!

Habits of successful students

Discipline: “discipline is doing what needs to be done, even when you don’t want to”, which means that you have to force yourself to start doing things. 

Concentration: when you make a real effort in your work (study, homeworks etc…) you will be more likely to actually focus, understand and learn. 

Organization: always set tasks and goals and organize a study-schedule. Maybe you don’t really want to plan all the week, but if you just wake up and open your agenda/bullet journal/iphone calendar and write down all the things you have to do, setting due dates and deadlines, you’ll feel more conscious and encouraged to stay on track. 

Tasks-splitting: sometimes, you write down your tasks. Some of these tasks may be very hard and complicated, and it will take a long long time to complete them. So, you can split them in smaller tasks, so you will feel satisfied after a shorter period of time, instead of studying for hours and still seeing that chapter undone on your study-schedule. 

Watch the sunrise: when I wake up late, I feel like I don’t have enought time to do my work and lose my motivation. I literally panic and then I think “whatever, I could not complete all the things anyway”. So, if you wake up earlier you will feel more positive and  controlled. 

Smart reading: try not to read your textbook just like a newspaper. For every paragraph you read, try to underline and write down key words and then your question about that subject. Literally, turn your textbook into questions. If you write down question - particularly why…? - and think about the answer, you will be more likely to remember that stuff later. 

Healthy lifestile: if you don’t drink enough water in the morning, you will be more likely to have a decrease of concentration in the afternoon/evening, so: stay hydrated. Try also to have some snaks every one-two hours: feed your brain.

I havent seen anyone talk about this yet so im making a post. 

So lets say you’re researching something for a paper (or just for fun) and the research paper you want to read is behind a paywall, or the site makes you create an account first, or makes you pay to download, or limits you to only 5 free articles, or otherwise makes it difficult for you to read what you want.

do not fear! copy the link to the article

go to sci-hub.se         (the url is always changing so its best to check out whereisscihub.now.sh to find what the current url is)

slap the article link in there

bam! free access! 

[etudiare]

this literally helped me graduate with a best in research award, so cheers, sci-hub!! 💕

For the record, they were arguing over *whether or not they should get married*. She was pro, he was con, saying that if they loved each other the ring and the marriage certificate were unnecessary, that their love would be the commitment they needed. This was a fight they’d had for weeks. He didn’t just propose to shut her up in a totally unrelated argument…. him proposing was also him saying “you’re right, you won the argument” and that’s why this is cute.

Okay then. That was the context that I needed.

yo @ passive people in class, do you freeze when lecturers question you and just ramble about whatever that comes to mind or this is just me.
