Good afternoon, the academic culture of “if you’re not overworking, you don’t deserve success” is unhealthy.

frontloading textbook readings on labor day 📚 finished 1 unit (out of a total of 7 for the semester) for networks and 1 week of readings for communication and technology ✌️ hope this will allow me to stay ahead for the rest of the semester

went to a labor day sale at the reuse center/thrift store and got a dress + jeans for $2.00. always love a good deal lmao

📖 reading: “algorithms to live by” by brian christian and tom griffiths

🖥 watching: steven universe: the movie (!!) and the great british bakeoff collection 3 finale

Day one done! Weird getting back into school and knowing I’ll never have to again after this... School in general... just, lots of feelings.

Enlisted the help of The Beatles for some cheering up, works every time.

Here comes the sun light at the end of the tunnel indeed.

Happy Back to School!! (Or for us, back to daycare) 🎾🎾

[education-woohoooo]

I’m finally starting to wrap up some of my summer hw and while I still have a stressful amount left it feels nice to get back into some school work! I’ve only got 8 more days of summer, so I’m trying to get my hustle together!

[prefixing]

this is how i spent all of autumn break. in my dads mock-studio which is just a bright room in our summer house (honestly the light in there is magical). studying economics until my eyes bled.

How rude of me not to introduce myself! (And my desk… Meet Herbert the Peperomia. What a sweetheart.)

Hey Tumblr,

I’m Brigid. Next week, I embark on the last year of my high school life. That’s right, it’s HSC time. *cheers from the audience* (wait… I don’t have an audience…)

I’m doing 4 unit English, 2 unit studies of religion, ancient history, and Italian continuers.

I’ve been watching the studyblr community from a distance for a while and I thought this was as good a place as any to document my year.. Maybe I’ll fall off the bandwagon before the end of first term, but we’ll give it a go.

Let’s get messy, stressy, and - not depressy. Romanticising mental illness is absolutely not ok.

I’ve been A Ready Mind, goodnight.

it snowed last night so i decided to read in bed today.  i also listened to prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune by debussy this morning as it was recommended by my professor and i luckily have it on vinyl.

An afternoon of writing scene summaries, drinking various chilled beverages, and taking in the greenery.

1. It’ll get tough. Really fucking tough. You already knew that. But that’s life, accept it. Put away the books for an hour, drink some tea, cuddle your pets, stare at the ceiling, watch some Youtube videos, and then finish your homework. 2. There will be a lot of days where you wanna quit or can’t get out of bed. Don’t call in sick and don’t drop out. You can do this, you can survive this year like all the others. 3. Enjoy learning new things. Knowledge is power, knowledge is sexy. 4. Don’t pay attention to others, you are here for you, nobody really pays attention to others anyway. 5. Be nice to teachers and help fellow students. Kindness makes life so much easier. 6. ASK THINGS. Ask the most stupid question and ask the hardest. Just ask anything you want to know. Teachers think you’re dumb? Fuck them. Students laugh at you? Fuck them. YOU need to pass that class and YOU need that degree. 7. Make your lunch the evening before if you have trouble getting out of bed in the morning. Breakfast helps you start up your day. If you don’t have time to eat at home, make some for in class. 8. Go to bed early. A good night’s rest is everything. It’ll make getting out of bed a lot easier. 9. Always carry a water bottle with you. ALWAYS. 10. Take a deep fucking breath. It’s all going to be okay. Take a few steps back and look at your situation with a clear view. Realize how far you’ve come already. Be proud of yourself. Celebrate small victories. You are doing okay.
