some things we should start romanticising

bike rides, especially when listening to music. the wind in your hair, the songs in your ears, every sound being quiet and living in your own bubble of lyrics.

sitting in a bus. you’re going back home, maybe you’re reading a book or just looking outside of the foggy glass.

making tea. warming up the water, bringing it to a simmer and closing the gas, pouring it into a ceramic mug, the perfume of tea leaves: it’s a ritual.

buying a new book. walking in a book store, reading the first page of a book that sounds interesting, choosing a book because of its cover, never having heard of that book.

reading the last page of a book. that one doctor who episode where the doctor says he rips the last page of each book he reads, reading the last line and feeling like all the air in your lungs is gone.

that one specific moment when you are coming back from a party and you’re walking the few last steps before getting home. 

writing your name on a new notebook. scribbling messy letters or trying hard to make it look pretty.

tying shoe laces. where are you even going?

picking a flower. getting off the road and into a patch of grass just to pick a yellow wild flower, pressing it in a book, or putting it in a glass of water.

finally getting to bed. the cold bedsheets, closing your burning eyes, the small sounds of the city.

academia things that genuinely make me happy

large textbooks filled with extra papers which hold the answers to the problems you thought were too brilliant to be thrown away, or the simple short summary of a part you were struggling to understand before

having your textbook absolutely ruined by highlighters and sticky notes all over it, those little tips and ideas you picked up from the lesson. anyone who opens that book immediately knows that you’ve studied the crap out of it and know the concept by heart. “this is the most annotated book i’ve ever seen” is literally the highest form of compliment for me.

solving math or chemistry problems to a soundtrack album or ambient sounds, extra points if it’s in afternoon lol

when you’re so focused and keen on getting to the final answer that your hand physically can’t keep up with your eagerness so you end up with the most incoherent solution. but you’ve finally got the answer right!

being self-taught in a subject or a few chapters of the textbook, and still smashing the quizzes and the exams

coming up with a new solution to the problem, or seeing the problem from a new perspective, and finally being able to solve it because of just that.

confidently walking out of the exam room. 0 doubt in your mind that you crushed it!

actually feeling how you’ve grown academically, and how much more knowledgeable you are compared to the beginning of the semester

casually and confidently having conversations with a professor about your studies, exchanging ideas and discussing the existing theories, methods, on-going research and all

all of this is everything i want in life- god 

[inkblue-computerhead]

some things i’ve learned while studying in quarantine

drink more water instead of more coffee.

weekly goals are bullshit. set yourself 3-day goals. you’ll be less laid-back.

don’t just mindlessly stare at words. before you start studying, know your approach to it. have a plan.

summarizing the concept in your own words is the key part of taking notes. don’t just copy things down, convert them into your own way of talking, your own vocabulary, no matter how dumb and unprofessional it sounds.

don’t let the “studyblr aesthetic” fool you. studying doesn’t have to be pretty. summaries and notes can be messy as long as they’re comprehensible. you can always rewrite and reorganize them later. (honestly, you better do. and you better keep them.)

don’t throw away the papers you’ve solved your problems in. staple them to the fucking textbook. you need to see them constantly. cause you’ll need reminders of how far you’ve came, when you’re feeling discouraged.

don’t be an armchair analyst for your issues. if you have an idea then act on it.

remember: the exact point where it becomes difficult, is where your growth begins. take a deep breath, and try to focus on the paragraph in front of you.

get off your high horse and understand that if you’re a zero, you won’t go to 100 in a couple of days. first, you’ll need to reach 30, then from 30 to 60, and then from 60 to 90. nobody is 100 everyday. that happens very rarely.

you need to have fun everyday. you need to have peaceful time every single day. even on exam night. especially on exam night, actually. so make sure you’ve studied enough so you can have some time to yourself.

once you’re on a roll and in need of some challenge to stay on track, start writing down your studying hours. tell yourself you’re not allowed to do less than 80% of what you did yesterday. whatever the hell it was, even just one hour. so if yesterday you really studied for like, say 8 hours, today your goal is to study for at least 6 and a half hours. if you can’t keep up with that, make it 70%, or 60%. 

be forgiving of yourself. be kind to yourself. even if you bounced back and lost your streak. start again. as slowly as you did before. take your time. it’s okay, you were there once you can get there again.

dark academic things to do this summer

we are well into summer and while things are starting to open back up, a lot of places still remain closed. Here are some things I’ll be doing this summer to occupy my time since museums are still closed and I can’t perform in any summer shows:

- learn to play piano. Buy an inexpensive or used keyboard and learn the basics! My personal goal is to be able to play and sing My Melancholy Blues by Queen by the end of August.

- read in the park. most coffee shops are still closed for dine in where I live, so I’ve decided to start reading under one of the big oak trees in the park.

- write a novel (or at least try to). it doesn’t have to be good, it just has to be on the page.

- start journaling. i started writing in my journal every morning while i have my coffee, and it is a much better start to my day than scrolling through instagram.

- fall down a weird rabbit hole. personally, I’ve always been interest in the claims that shakespeare didn’t write his plays and I plan on investigating it further this summer.

- memorize monologues. it’s highly unlikely I’ll have anything to audition for before 2021, but it’s always good to keep fresh. it’s even more fun when you memorize monologues that don’t fit your type at all.

- pull an all-nighter. just for fun.

- go on picnics. cheese and strawberries and people watching? sign me up.

concept playlists

feel better;  it’s been a long week, not moving from your permanently dark bedroom, your phone forgotten under the bed with a hundred missed messages, but you’re finally opening your eyes and seeing a sliver of early morning sunlight filter in behind the curtains that a mysterious breeze blew open.

daisy chains;  it’s late spring or early summer and you’re dozing with your best friends in the grass, the slow and peaceful brush of the warm breeze keeping you in that state of just waking from a pleasant dream.

songs to run away to;  you’re packing an overnight bag and taking the first bus out of the city. you’re not exactly running away, but you don’t plan on coming back. all you know is that your only goal is to keep on running.

classical jams;  it’s your fancy neighbour’s annual ball held in their gothic castle and you’re getting turnt to tchaikovsky while very deliberately disappointing your parents who wanted you to use the occasion to find an upstanding suitor.

dark academia but it slaps;  vague fuck the school system vibes, doing stupid shit with your close friends, caffeinated all-nighters, a chaotic gleam in your eye as you throw paper planes made from your essays out of the highest window in campus, not knowing if your friend really did commit murder. in this household we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

People say that “whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” But nobody ever mentions that it could also make you more bitter, apathetic and detached from the rest of society.

Full Potential Challenge (New Year)

Based on the original Full Potential Challenge by @fullproductive​ - this is my adaptation based around my lifestyle. 

Ever wonder what your life would be like if you lived up to your full potential? Would your body be healthier? Your skin clearer? Bank account bigger? I think about these things all the time, and, judging by a previous post, you guys do too. Let’s try it out! Obviously we aren’t going to come close to perfect with this – we’re all humans with good days and bad days and in-between days. But let’s try together to see what would happen if we pushed ourselves. I don’t ever want anyone to feel pressured to stick to this every day (I sure as hell won’t), but it’s worth a shot, right? Let’s get to it!

EVERY MORNING 1. Wake up with enough time to get ready for the day without rushing 2. Stretch my whole body first thing 3. Make my bed 4. Shower with music 5. Do full skin care routine: face and body 6. Get dress in something I like and that suits my daily plan 7. Eat breakfast and read daily news 8. Drink at least one glass of water 9. Check emails and look over to do list 10. Brush teeth and mouthwash

DURING THE DAY 1. Follow the “touch it once” approach: at least start something as soon as I get it - if I’m able, finish it immediately too 2. Walk daily and workout at least three times a week 3. Drink at least three glasses of water 4. Be present 5. Pack and eat a healthy lunch 6. Pay at least two people a compliment daily

EVERY EVENING 1. Take off makeup as soon as I’m in for the night - wash my face with my full routine 2. Finish up daily tasks and assignments 3. Update tomorrow’s to do list 4. Drink at least two glasses of water 5. Tidy up my room 6. Lay out my clothes and pack my bag for the next day 7. Eat something great and brush teeth straight after 8. Check in with health planner and daily planner 9. Relax for a couple of hours (or as time allows) 10. Put phone on silent 11. Get into bed and play audiobook

EVERY WEEK 1. Create a post about my progress And at least two of the following: 2. Do something with my friends 3. Do something just for me 4. Do something creative 5. Create a journal entry about whatever’s on my mind

hogwarts house aesthetics: competition

gryffindor: a full-on, cocky grin, lips pulled back over teeth with enthusiasm. a sparking energy that manifests as restlessness, needing to constantly work to avoid guilt at the end. competition is a race, quality perhaps taking a back seat to the urge to say, “I was here first.” being given a mountain to climb and blissfully, purposefully only seeing the first step. hubris making you stumble but self-assurance providing even ground. at the finish line: a hard drink and an easy laugh to say you’ve won; a hard drink and bitter mood to mark the loss.

ravenclaw: trapped in a cycle of try, analyze, do better - over and over until you’ve perfected the craft of self-criticism. the power to be clinical; precise in your dissection of the right and wrong moves to make. recognizing competition and the potential for glory, but respecting the challenge for what it is: a driver of knowledge, or innovation, or improvement. every unknown is a new frontier, regardless of method or machination. competitiveness driven by the feeling of new discovery, seeking to hold that which others do not: unusual knowledge.

hufflepuff: earnest and dedicated work, using the resources at your disposal but staying within the lanes drawn for you. a healthy respect for the challenge, and a yearning, a desire to come in first - but the ability to step back and see the bigger picture. why are you competing in the first place? the thrill of competition is fun, is an opportunity, and a chance to prove the mettle that defines you. throughout it all, a kindness that cuts through tension, a mentorship that wraps the weaker links in assurance. competition fosters growth, not just for you but for your peers, your school, your society.

slytherin: keeping tabs on the enemy (for that is what they become, personal feelings aside), eyes sweeping over others’ marks and methods, ears cataloguing conversations, filing away information that could maybe, possibly, give you an edge. associating a competition of any matter to a match of resourcefulness and willfulness: a slytherin is nothing if not willful, able to bend reality to shape your aim. taking it personally when others choose the other side, storing that betrayal for later comeuppance. calling in favors and pulling on strings to get the necessary pieces in play: check. slyly, softly making the final move: checkmate.
