Viswijf

  Ik maak de mooiste planningen waar ik me nog geen minuut aan houd. Mijn net opgeruimde kamer is de volgende dag weer een puinhoop, alsof ik niet eens moeite heb gedaan alles netjes te houden. Mijn gedachten springen van a naar t, dwalen af naar g en maken een tussenstop bij s voordat ze bij b eindigen. Ik kom vaak te laat, vergeet afspraken, verlies het overzicht op de dingen die ik nog moet doen. Woorden zoals ‘morgen’, ‘belangrijk’ en 'verplicht’ bezorgen me veel te veel stress en ik weet eigenlijk al niet meer waar ik naartoe wilde met dit verhaal. Zo ben ik.

i think figs might be my new favourite study snack (ft. some apwh key concepts!)

[thepremedgunner]

Just a reminder. Yes, we’re in college. Yes, we’re premed. Yes, our lives are going to be primarily coffee and sleep deprivation and mental breakdowns and studying but we should also be trying to live, not on the side, but through these experiences. We should be laughing and crying. We should be resting and working hard. We should be passionate and tranquil. We should be soft and hardcore. The mindset I once had that I should postpone life and focus on medical school is what got me to my nervous breakdown a few weeks ago. Please focus on your goals and ambitions but do not forget to rest and to live life. It’s beautiful and you do not want to miss out on it. @johnyboy0731

read classics - I know from experience its a slow but steady climb when it comes to reading classics, but it’s a worth while experience to put yourself in world that so different from the world now but mirrors it quite the same. Reading classical opens you mind to how simple but complex the human race is. It might seem like chore especially if your not a reader but you can start by just picking a classical that ficinated you the most  and listening to it on audiobook first. After a couple times of listening on audiobook you’ll get used to rhythm of the language and it’ll be easier to continue reading on your own. Also, pro tips- if you really wanna kick it up a notch, write a short review for every classic you read to help retain the info. 

expand your genres-  Everyones knows there’s a lot to be learned from movies, tv show and music but for most of us, once we learn what kind of genres we like we tend to never branch out and this limits our learning. You don’t have to like every genre but exposing yourself to different styles of music and movies teaches you tolerance and after a while of forcing yourself to do this, you might find your pallet start to shift.  

watch youtube videos- This is one of my favorite ways to not only be entertained but to get a general overview of a certain topic, usually if it sparks my interest i’ll do a little further research. Youtube channels such as ted-ed, asap science, scishow and today i found out do an amazing job of giving you a little bit of knowledge about everything.

listen to people who have different opions than you- I know this one is particularly hard one for most people, but your going to learn the least from having repeptive conversations with people with the same ideas as you. People with different opinions than you will have an impact on how you live your life wether you like it or not; its not your job to accept their ways of thinking but to understand why they think the way they do- you never know, you might just find that the other persons opinion has some merit and might make you more knowlegable about a certain situation. A great way to do this is to watch interviews, read articles about the opposing side of your opinion.

Accept that you’ll never know everything- This is an important one, you may be thinking, how does this have to do with educating myself? well, I added this one because I truly feel like you can’t educate yourself without acknowledging your ignorance. A person who thinks they know eveything has no room to learn. One of the most powerful ways to educate your self is to accept that you are never going to be finished learning, this opens you up and makes you more receptive to lessons we learn in life everyday. So in short, if you want to be more educated, just live! we’re all life long students and that’s okay.

Started my master’s in international and transnational law and is being a lot of work guys. The readings are absolutely fulfilling and the classes are the kind you want to attend and look forward to throughout the morning. Love the international regimen, so many foreign classmates who have already taught me so much about their countries and cultures. I just wish everyone could have the same opportunity as I, studying in a completely international context just by their doorstep.

If you want to know how I stay inspired to do all of my work, just check out my video on how to keep motivation to a max.

Als ik trots aan je vertel dat ik nog nooit iets heb gebroken, zeg jij: en je hart dan?

I hate that this is reblogged with positivity all the time. All this is is proof that the media will always body shame people to sell a fucking product.

graduating later than other people means absolutely nothing at all. like you both completed the same requirements and have the same qualifications–why does it matter if you completed it in 5 years and they in 4?? in 6? in 3? you had experiences they didn’t have and they had experiences you didn’t have. relax. take your time if it’s allowable. if that’s what it takes for you to get through your degree and do your best, that’s what you should do. you’re going to succeed. you’re going to be okay.

Voor iemand vallen. Alsof liefde altijd gemaakt is om iets te breken.

We helen. Vraag ons niet hoe. Het gebeurt zomaar, en als het stopt, Weten we niet wat we moeten.

Als we bewegen Gaan onze wonden weer even open Als we omkijken Voelen we de beurse plekken op onze rug

De snee op mijn arm Moet een nieuw drukverband Een nieuwe laag om te behouden Wat er nog over is

We leren om weg te gooien wat niet meer past We leren om te houden van wie we zijn We helen.

Curves Ahead: Nadia Aboulhosn Designs Clothes That Show Off Her Shape

This post is in celebration of Women’s History Month. Throughout March, we’ll be highlighting the stories of women doing extraordinary things around the world.

Crop top, bodysuit, skinny jeans — Nadia Aboulhosn (@nadiaaboulhosn) wears any little thing she pleases, keyword “little.” “People try to shame me with, ‘Oh, you shouldn’t be wearing that,’” says the 28-year-old Los Angeles-based blogger, model and fashion designer. “I’m not gonna feel guilty because someone feels uncomfortable.” Half-Lebanese, Nadia grew up surrounded by women happy with their shapely hips, yet she soon realized there was a dearth of cute clothing choices for them. Instead of shrouding their curves, she thought, why not flaunt them? “When I started blogging in 2010, there weren’t a lot of people who looked like me in the fashion industry — 5’3” [1.6 meters] and thicker, with bigger eyebrows,” she explains. “I’ve helped normalize girls of all sizes to be able to wear whatever they want and be unapologetic for it. Your life isn’t for them. It’s for you.”
