Sometimes, you just have to say "fuck it" and start romanticizing the hell out of your own life.

• Studying? Listen to aesthetic music and drink your favourite hot beverage with determination.

• Taking a walk? Stop to pick flowers with the intention of drying or hanging them later.

• Reading? Go to an obscure coffee shop and dress mysterious so as to capture the attention of beautiful people only to vanish without a trace.

Steal all the traits and hobbies of your ideal partner or adventure buddy™. Become the person you've been missing in your life and learn how to love the world again.

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 💓💓💓

it’s a windy day and your scarf is blown from around your neck and lands on the ground and a beautiful young man picks it up and brings it to you and looks into your eyes and smiles and your fingers brush his and suddenly it’s the 1800s and you’ve fallen in love with a stranger

idk who needs to hear this but when your english teacher asks you to explain why an author chose to use a specific metaphor or literary device, it’s not because you won’t be able to function in real-world society without the essential knowledge of gatsby’s green light or whatever, it’s because that process develops your abilities to parse a text for meaning and fill in gaps in information by yourself, and if you’re wondering what happens when you DON’T develop an adult level of reading comprehension, look no further than the dizzying array of examples right here on tumblr dot com
