my university campus is so peaceful and quiet during the summer

If the days aren’t lovely, at least the views are! It’s the last stretch of the year, and I wish everyone the best of luck with their academic endeavours.

Tired but happy! Thank the Lord. Too tired to filter the photos today…maybe that’s a good thing ? Xxx

You have to stop ruining things for yourself preemptively because you believe they’ll fail anyway. Give yourself a chance to succeed.

By God’s grace I will make it through! Every day is a test and a reward for believing in it all.

Pst…the angel book just showed up today on the building exchange bookshelf and I just had to take it home with me! Can’t wait to dig in.

one of the biggest things I can advocate for (in academia, but also just in life) is to build credibility with yourself. It’s easy to fall into the habit of thinking of yourself as someone who does things last minute or who struggles to start tasks. people will tell you that you just need to build different habits, but I know for me at least the idea of ‘habit’ is sort of abstract and dehumanizing. Credibility is more like ‘I’ve done this before, so I know I can do it, and more importantly I trust myself to do it’. you set an assignment goal for the day and you meet it, and then you feel stronger setting one the next day. You establish a relationship with yourself that’s built on confidence and trust. That in turn starts to erode the barrier of insecurity and perfectionism and makes it easier to start and finish tasks. reframing the narrative as a process of building credibility makes it easier to celebrate each step and recognize how strong your relationship with yourself can become

At your girl’s house telling her that sometimes things must be done not for the sake of building a resume but for the sake of keeping the heart soft and aglow

Visited a new café today, which was reinvigorating and exactly what I needed to WORK! I ended up finishing my assignment on Mozambique and completed "The Plot Against America", which is an absolute marvel of fiction and historical research. A song I enjoyed today is “To Kyma” by Melisses.
