Sometimes I wonder what it’s like to be a literature major.

is there any more damning criticism of an academic book than the solitary question mark pencilled in the margin

finally back on campus and with a new view!! last semester was super rough. I’m so so happy to be here and to be catching up on prep work for this summer even though it's freezing here at the moment.

I’m reading about corn because I’m in ohio so what else :)

every morning i wake up & get my coffee & i recite in my head this excerpt from ‘invitation,’ by mary oliver:  “it is a serious thing just to be alive on this fresh morning in the broken world.” & i just say it over & over again until it sticks to my mind for the rest of the day. it is a serious thing. i am alive. i am so lucky. this fresh morning i get the chance to live again & again & again

Experiencing burnout in an area you love doesn’t mean you are no longer passionate about that thing, or are any less good at it. It’s often an indication that there are other parts of your life that need your care. A garden looks most beautiful when every flower is watered, and you deserve to nourish yourself in the same way. You will flourish again.

normalize not making sense. I’ve never had one (1) coherent thought in my life. fantastic.

Chrome extensions I actually use as a mentally ill university student

Making websites easier to digest:

Dark Reader - Changes any webpage to dark mode.

Mercury Reader - Simplifies the layout of any webpage to eliminate distractions and irritating formatting.

Podcastle AI - Turns any article into a podcast. This is a lifesaver for being able to process what I’m reading, to be honest.

Spelling/grammar:

LanguageTool - Spelling and grammar check for those of us who regularly type in more than one language.

Grammarly - Spelling and grammar check for those of us who only type in English. Can be used with LanguageTool installed, which is what I do.

Google Dictionary - Define any word on the webpage with a double-click.

Google Translate - Translate an entire webpage or even just a short segment.

Misc:

AdGuard Adblocker - After trying quite a few adblocker options, this is the one I find the best.

The Great Suspender - Automatically suspend inactive tabs to help with performance. 

Honey - Try coupon codes automatically to save money on online purchases.

Built-in Chrome tab grouping - Group your tabs to keep organized and minimize distracting clutter.

Two mini serene scenes for the weekend. I am deeply tired, and it has been a very, very long term (I know, a long year). I have one more week of work this year, so just trying to de-stress and make a list of everything I need to do so I can take time off with a clear head 🕯✨

17 December 2020 | The term is nearly over with only one paper left to complete! If I’m not able to recite 2 Peter 1:3-15 in Greek by the end of this, then I simply don’t know where my brain has been…

When anaïs nin said "love never dies a natural death" and when victor hugo said "the supreme happiness of life is conviction that we are loved" and when donna tartt said "if you care for a thing enough, it takes on a life of its own" and when robert frost said "love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired"
