NGC 7635, Cosmic Bubble
i learned about astrophysicist Jocelyn Bell Burnell, who as a student discovered pulsars, credits her discovery to impostor syndrome and a fear of being kicked out of college; “I’m a bit of a fighter, so I decided until they threw me out I would work my very hardest". That discovery earned the 1974 Nobel Prize (x)
i've seen this sometimes so i told myself yeah, why not. most of this are chaotic academia but still :)
dark/chaotic academia in my life:
waits for everyone to fall asleep and then opens the window and writes in the moonlight
no blood in their veins, just coffee and tea
writes letters at 2am
switches between hozier and dubstep
wastes hours while studying and then wonders why they always finish studying on late
greek gods as vines
is studying but than starts wondering about their next story
studies everywhere but not on the desk
sleep schedule? what is a sleep schedule
100 books to read but it's always "no i need more books"
pressed flowers between novels
homemade bookmarks
their life without candles would be a mistake
lights their room only with small lamps
wants to dress DA but always ends in black and white clothes
messy as fuck
poetry + badwords (chaotic academians only)
lies on the balcony and wonders about life
"shit i have the exam in four days i need to study" and ends up wasting the whole day claiming they "know almost everything, btw can study the night before the exam day"
selfish but not that much, just focused on writing, reading and their 2 friends
sniffs books
wants to take care about their mental health but ends watching the dead poet society
wants to take care about their mental health but then they remember they write
kills the best character they have ever created in the most suffering way possible
tons of jewelry
dirty glasses always
has 5 subject to study but ends up learning spainish on duolingo
watches their social life falling in the most passive way remembering they always had two friends while listening to achilles comes down and getting ready to read jane austen
empty cups everywhere
"what an amazing day to burn a church"
"what an amazing day to poison my aunt"
relates their relatives to book characters
wikipedia's list of cospiracy theories stan
starting desiring to take an horse, their lover, their books and run away from their family
still in love w the version they created in their mind of someone they met last summer because he was intelligent loved rock music and astronomy and they imagined a relationship with him doing stuff like reading together while laying in the grass
no insta because is antisocial
always goes to the royal palace of their town
books and sheets ruined by tears
sheets with coffee spots
black ink everywhere
tries to have a diary but it's just a notebook filled with flowers, pics, quotes, and pages with reflections about literally everything
scribbled books
maybe you aren’t quite there yet, but you’re a heck of a lot closer than you were before
Real talk tips for studying
1. Get up early.
I know, it’s easier said than done. But it is going to be hard for the first 15-20 minutes, maybe even the first hour, but make yourself some coffee, and get the fuck out of that bed.
2. Do 3 useful things right after you get up.
This doesn’t have to be ‘cram one lesson’ or ‘take 500 pages of notes’. No. Brush your teeth, make yourself something nice to drink, comb your hair. Wash your face. Literally whatever you find useful, do it. It may take 10 minutes, but you will feel instantly better when you see you’ve done something.
3. Organize your study space.
I don’t mean organize all your highlighters by color. I mean arrange everything so it is within your reach. That means when you sit down to finally study, there won’t be any need for you to get up and get something.
4. Take breaks.
It’s easy to start scrolling through instagram, or facebook when you sit by a 200 page book. Trust me on this. But set an alarm when you plan on taking a break. Make the break your instagram time, or facebook time, or just chill time. Whatever you do, organize your time so you don’t leave anything out.
5. Divide your shit.
So you have a 300 page chapter to read. Or a 30 page paper to write. Divide it into smaller parts. For example, I will read through the first 30 pages and then take a break. Repeat. Or, I will write 3 pages and then relax. Repeat. Literally whatever shit you have, divide it into smaller chunks and then just tackle the chunks.
6. Don’t listen to music with lyrics.
There are a ton of ‘study music’ or ‘motivational music’ playlists on Youtube. Blast that. That way, you won’t find yourself mouthing the perfect lyrics to Shape of you, and not knowing shit about what you’ve been reading. I’ve been there one too many times and it’s just wasting time.
7. Don’t feel bad about not responding to texts, or not hanging out with friends.
There is time to study and time to play. No between. By all means you should go out and have fun. But your work time can only be your work time. That text can wait, that coffee date can wait. During the break you will have more than enough time to catch up. And your friends should understand that, after all, this is important to you so it should be for them too.
8. Drink water! ! !
This is the most used tip, but trust me, you get tired much quicker if you’re not hydrated. Get a nice ass bottle of water and fill that shit up. Everytime you finish a paragraph take a sip. (At least!)
9. Don’t worry too much.
I’ve lost countless hours by panicking and trying to reason with myself why I should just quit. And let me tell you, it’s very easy to get stuck in that vicious circle. But when you begin to worry, take a deep breath, drink some water and just do. Read that sentence. Write the opening line to your paper. Underline that unknown word. Just do. It will not go in vain. No effort is ever useless.
10. Relax.
You are not the first one to have trouble with this. You are not the only one struggling with this material. But you can do it. It is possible. In 10 years you won’t remember that godawful task or chapter. But you will remember taking shit into your hands. And that feeling when you accomplish your goal is going to be worth all the while.
That’s about it, worked for me. Just be real with yourself. Good luck and may the odds be ever in you favor!

Another day, another study session. Reminding myself to drink tea or water every 30 minutes.

You can be happy: Anywhere, anytime, in any situation … but remember that change starts with you.
people should fall in love more. fall in love with poetry. fall in love with books. fall in love with the way your coffee swirls as soon as you pour the milk in. fall in love with the look your dog gives you when you wake up. fall in love with the rare moment when your cat doesn’t ignore you. fall in love with the person who tells you to have a good day. fall in love with the waiter who gives you extra chicken nuggets. fall in love with sweaters in winter and cold lemonade in summer. fall in love with the moment your head hits the pillow. fall in love with talking to someone until 4am. fall in love with the days you can hit the snooze button over and over again. fall in love when a lover stares at you for five hours. fall in love with the stars when they look at you. fall in love with the sound of someone breathing. fall in love with the bus if it’s on time or the train if it comes early. fall in love with the song you can't get out of your head. fall in love with everything possible. <3
Ask me stuff about fusion reactors!
I’ve made enough high-effort educational posts under the #fusion tag that I’m having trouble coming up with stuff that is interesting for y’all to read about. There are a lot of things that I like to ramble about while my friends nod politely, and it can be hard to tell the difference until it’s too late.
So, is there anything about nuclear fusion reactors y’all want to know? I’ve also worked in nanotech, making bucketloads of carbon and boron-nitride nanotubes. I’ve done a bit with graphene too.
I’m happy to talk about all of that! Asks are open, or just reblog this with something you’re curious about. I want to do more long posts (there are plenty on this blog under #fusion), as well as more bite-size tidbits, but only if they’re interesting to you wonderful people!
