I can’t seem to focus on studying one thing so I’m writing notes for more than 4 different topics

im working on accomplishing small tasks because im starting to feel overwhelmed with all the requirements that i need to do especially because our finals are coming up next week. im trying not to push myself too much and just check off my to-do list, one at a time.

remember to take things lightly, and don’t punish yourself or feel bad for not being productive. lightly, lightly, we’ll get there ✨

social experiment time: close your eyes, lay down, and listen to this song. when it’s over, reblog this post and tell me about the memory it reminded you of in the tags.

the social norm of “its your ethical responsibility to be constantly aware of, and angry about, every bad thing happening in the world at all times, even if you can’t possibly do anything about it” is possibly the best way I can imagine to create burnout and cynicism and depression in a population, so good job guys

studying for the LSAT is going... very poorly

3 Apps I use for “Productivity”

* Forest App: Forest is an app where you plant trees and bushes in a certain amount of time. I mainly use it to keep myself focused and far away from distractions.

* Google Drive: This is where I storage all my files, documents, etc. I organize them by semester and subject and it’s so easy to use! Google Drive has simplified my uni life tbh, you can also color code your folders.

* Google Calendar: you can annotate your important appointments, events, tasks, etc. It also synchronizes with the calendar app (if you use iOs)

My results are back, I failed a lot of my exams. Hard work doesn’t always pay off. I’ve been very demotivated (and sad) for the last couple of weeks because of that. Everyone always seems to do so well and very often I believe I’m just not cut out for university. That sucks! Today I’m trying to get out of bed and do something, since that has been such a thing for the last couple of weeks. For the people that are also struggling: you’re not alone, you’re smart enough, I’m here for you! It’s VERY tiring but eventually we can do it, right? :)

you’re so young and you have so much time. life is longer than you think, and there will be time for you to do everything. if you lost your youth to mental illness or abuse, your life isn’t over. you can do everything you missed out on, and more. if you’re losing your youth right now, there will be time for you to do the things you want to do. it’s gonna be okay, you still have time.

Cultural Dark Academia

After my last post about the lack of representation in academia, I felt it neccessary to provide some examples of what I’m talking about. Obviously there are more countries in the world than I can list and provide books for, so for a quick list this is what I got. !! Keep researching !! If you have any more books by POC please reply them !! If a country isn’t listed, that doesn’t mean it’s not important, this is just what I could get together real quick. If I made any mistakes, please let me know, we’re all learning. We need to help each other end eurocentrism in academia, so value representation and educate yourselves 💓💓💓
