Welcome! I've been into academia for a long while now, but finally got around to setting up my own academia blog/studyblr. Probably going to post my own pictures of academia stuff in my life as well as drag you lot along my research rabbit hole adventures!

Dark/light/romantic Academia shows or movies to watch

These are some rather not so well known dark academia/ romantic academia shows and movies that are just so beautiful and so underrated (and also a lot more diverse), every single one of them is phenomenal. 

1. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (2018): period film, more light academia, romance, about a writer.

2. Hymn of Death (2018): romantic tragedy, late 1920s, period drama, English literature, writer-singer romance. Probably the most beautiful K-drama out there in my opinion. (short drama, about 3 or 6 episodes depending on where you watch it)

3. The Aftermath (2019): period film, war-time romance.

4. Anne with an E (Netflix show): childhood romance, light-academia.

5. The Phantom of the Opera (2004): dark-romance, fantasy elements.

6. Chicago Typewriter (2017): time-travel, story of a writer, unique story-line, romance. 

7. Vatanim Sensin (Wounded love) 2016: war-time romance, writer, patriotism. It’s a little long but so worth the watch.

There'll be a moment when you realise you're 27 when yesterday you were just 17; and you wouldn't be able to tell how a decade passed away and your life got divided into before and afters. The fury of youth will subdue and nothing will really change but everything will feel different when you look at old photographs and blurry videos taken on cheap mobile phones. Scents will remind you of childhood and certain friends you don't talk to anymore, hangouts will become reunions and mom's burnt pie will become the best food you ever had. And I know on some days you won't be able to show anything of those 10 years but I hope you remember to breathe, and let go of the knot in your chest. I hope you go out in the sun and live a little, because tomorrow is 37.

I really need a reading holiday. A reading holiday is a concept which (I think) I’ve come up with but never done. It involves me renting out a little country cottage in some remote part of the English countryside for a couple weeks and bringing a suitcase full of books I’ve been wanting to read and spending all my time just sitting and reading not contacting the outside world just going to the village grocers and cooking soups and going on long walks and drinking tea and having hot baths and finally catching up on all the reading I’ve been wanting to do and getting really early nights and just having so much rest

“you talk like a smart/pretentious person” actually I just forget simple words constantly and am forced to rummage through my brain for the nearest synonym, which is usually twice as long and needlessly specific

I got some flowers to brighten up the house, and they decided to leave some confetti behind after I'd finished trimming and arranging them.
