Sing a song TODAY!!!!!! It does not MATTER if you sound good. Song is joy from the depths of your soul. ‘Good’ is a silly little human term and song exists above it in the realm of the angels, where laughter lives

[epicene-street-light-deactivate]

wholesome student life things that we should collectively start romancizing

waking up and being genuinely thrilled to go to class because today is THAT CLASS you love so much you’d like it to never end

coffee breaks with friends, chatting and joking about this particularly hard essay and the prof’s mannerism

coffee breaks on your own, as you absent-mindedly watch the people around you, while thinking about what you’re working on

finding this book you’ve been dying to read for so long, and borrowing it from the library

the feeling of excitement that goes through you whenever you remember The Book is in your backpack

understanding everything during demanding classes and being genuinely interested in the subject

buying a New Special Pen and taking colorful notes that look super pretty

not being able to shut up about your school projects (no your friends dont really care about the intricate details of what you’re working on, they don’t even have the same major as you, but they’re happy to hear you rant with such a burning passion)

actually doing the extra reading and having your curiosity so piqued by what you’re reading that you go on and on and suddenly its 1am and what happened

printing the project you’ve spent so much time and energy on and feeling the paper’s warmth

actually submitting that project without feeling awful about it because you know you did your best and aren’t responsible for what happens next

when you finally finish this Super Hard And Important Essay at like 3am, open the window and feel the cold night air on your burning cheeks and everything is dark and quiet and you can see the moon and you’re at peace with everything for a few minutes

when this professor you admire says you did a great job and/or that you’re talented!!!!

realizing two concepts that seemed so far away from each other and that you discovered in wildly different contexts are actually interlinked, then Realizing™ things and linking concepts/works/articles to each other at the speed of light & being super excited about it

being so deeply immersed in your work that you didn’t realize two hours have passed

finding the Perfect Spot at the library

that Pure Joy moment when you FINALLY understand that super obscure sentence/text

when you feel anxious because you’re not done with your homework & the deadline is super tight & your friend tells you they aren’t done yet either

same but with an even more intense relief feeling when you realize you both haven’t even started yet

when the professor starts a new reasoning and you can predict what the next idea/the final conclusion will be

when the professor mention your favorite novel/author/fictional character in class and you feel like your internal screech of joy could shatter glass

the Academic Salt™ that has you like 👀👀

when the professor tears apart an author or scholar you hate and you’re like YES I WANT BLOOD GIVE ME BLOOD

when you learn that Cool New Fact that makes you reconsider your whole life

leaving the library after a long productive day and feeling like nothing is real but experiencing everything more intensely

leaving the library at night after a long study session and everybody has left already and its just you and the long neon-lit corridors then stepping outside and smelling the crisp night wind

feel free to add your own!!!

[a-random-fandom-friend]

when you learned a thing that interessted you and two days later someone completly unrelated to your work will say “hey i wonder how this works?” and you’re so excited to explain it because you KNOW THAT

when you’re anxious af for a class and the professor is actually super friendly and you feel confident enough to ask questions

and suddently thank to this one professor EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE

understanding that One Difficult Point and suddently you feel like you UNDERSTAND THE FABRIC OF THE UNIVERSE

sometimes you can feel like you have too much in your bag but then one friend has a problem and they are pleasently surprised when you have Just The Right Thing

Running half the campus because you’re so excited to see your friend and to eat with them !!!!!!!!

[neuroticbae]

This is the light academia aesthetic I strive to embody

[rayraystudies]

That one topic you studied a little too much actually being a majority of your exam

Walking out of exams with your head up because you know you put the work in

Understanding a topic you struggled with and then teaching it successfully to someone else

Watching as people you’re tutoring/teaching actually understand what you’re saying (Teaching Assistant mode)

Taking that break you don’t think you deserve because you’re so stressed and behind but then it actually helps

Taking that break and it doesn’t help but in the moment it was amazing

Waking up early for a morning class and campus just seems dead and quiet as you walk through

i’m 18 and a rising college sophomore

i study theater management and plan to declare a minor in classical civilization

i’m especially interested in studying theater history, world mythologies, and languages!

i’m also really considering going pre-law and one day i think i might want to be an entertainment lawyer

some of the classes that i’m taking this upcoming semester are greek & roman drama, art history, astronomy, and an introductory law course ! 

i’m also trying to re-teach myself latin from the notes of a class i took two years ago but it’s... not really going well atm

i’m really looking forward to meeting everyone in the community and creating my own content !!
