More Hijabs In Academia!

[excessivebookshelf]

“I hope when people ask what you’re going to do with your English degree and/or creative writing degree you’ll say: ‘Continue my bookish examination of the contradictions and complexities of human motivation and desire;’ or maybe just: ‘Carry it with me, as I do everything that matters.’ And then smile very serenely until they say, ‘Oh.’”

— Cheryl Strayed, Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar

study like a gryffindor: break out the good snacks and pump the music, use breaks as a time to work out, go to the professor’s office hours when you have questions, be confident in your ability to succeed

study like a hufflepuff: organize study groups, do your readings in your comfiest sweaters, write your own notes and study guides from the textbook, be unafraid of the hard work that studying takes

study like a ravenclaw: think critically when re-reading notes, quiz yourself while brushing your teeth, tackle the hardest practice problems, know that you have the skills to get it done

study like a slytherin: use every resource available to study, use your notes to make your own lecture, challenge yourself by setting goals even if you’re not sure you can achieve them, be proud when you do well

If you feel like you’ve seen this alread, that’s normal. This list of recommendation has been previously posted on my first account @praestantias which has been deleted for some reasons. So here I am, reposting it. 

Hating how elitist and eurocentric the dark academia community became, I would truly appreciate that you leave some recommendation of book written by people of color, for I noticed that I am guilty of the eurocentric part, but I am really want to educate myself and read more non-white books. 

Thank you for your suggestions!

‘eat the frog' method

Hi all, it’s werelivingarts. I just stumbled across this method called ‘eat the frog’, which means you get the most difficult or important task out of your way first. I actually have been using this method for a long time, hope this post gives you a new way of managing your time and productivity! 😜

“If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first.” – Mark Twain

Friendly reminder

“Doing your best” does not mean working yourself to the point of a mental breakdown.

[vastderp]

this one still smashes me in the face ten times a year. do not ignore pain, it’s no longer your best at that point

if u put any greens in your smoothies what i’ve found is that if u blend the liquid w the green BEFORE putting anything else in u won’t get any weird spinach chunks or something like that

popcorn. good just plain, w cinnamon-sugar, or w sriracha

blueberries and almonds 

clementines and oranges

oatmeal

fav recipe: in a bowl, mash a large banana(or 2 small) and mix with cinnamon. then heat almond milk in a pan, when warm, put in the oatmeal. after a minute, put in the mashed banana mixture and stir around for a couple more minutes. top with your fruit of choice and some peanut butter

coffee or tea

dark chocolate

smoothie bowls!! 1 2 3

carrot sticks w hummus or guac

roasted chickpeas six diff ways

frozen grapes (for when it starts to get hot out)

nice cream. basically just a really thick smoothie made out of frozen bananas but it’s like you’re eating ice cream. 10/10 recommend

toast w almond butter and bananas

if u haven’t noticed i’m a big fan of peanut butter

i will reblog this everytime it shows up because any of my followers could have a bad night right now

[gutrage-archive-deactivated2024]

hey y’all, i’m transgender, and as much as i appreciate the ‘i stand with you’ thing that’s being passed around, if you want to make a difference, i’d way rather y’all donate 5 bucks to the transgender law center, which provides resources to make advances for transgender policies and laws. not to be bitter, while the sentiment of reblogging a flag is appreciated, it does end up feeling hollow.

Personal Safety on Campus!

Because I know a lot of my followers will be leaving home and going to college soon I wanted you all to make sure that you pack something you might not of thought about, safety devices. Unfortunately we still live in a shitty world so we should protect ourselves. These are all methods I have used myself and unfortunately I have had to use all of them at some point. Hopefully you will never need to use any of these but I would rather you all be safe.

All these tips are gender neutral because anyone can be assaulted, friends. (Although we all know you’re more likely to be assaulted if you’re a woman or LGBT+ so please consider these)

There are several different ways to make yourself feels safer while walking home late at night. 

I personally carry a knife with me at all times, make sure yours is legal in your state and you can carry it on campus because some campuses have restrictions on spring or size of the blade. Get familiar with it and how it feels. You don’t want the first time you use it to be the time you need it the most.

Pepper spray, tasers, and alarm keychains. I’ve used this one and I recommend it if you don’t have a ton of experience with pepper spray or tasers. Pick what you’re comfortable with. The personal alarm is super easy to use and loud as fuck. Attach it to your keychain when you carry your keys.

General tips

No headphones when walking in low populated or dark areas alone

Stay aware, walk with purpose.

Lots of colleges offer FREE self defense classes, take one and bring your friends with you.

If you’re on campus late at night ask someone from class to walk with you part of the way. No one will tell you “No” for this.

Stay on guard even when you’re in your Uber home.

Never go clubbing alone

Safety apps. There are several. SafeTrek is a popular one!

These are just basic tips and you should further educate yourself on what you can do to stay safe. Just general reminders of things you should get before heading off to college. Stay safe, lovelies!
