Little update: So since i’ve been away i’ve been studying and looking further into my career choices and i’ve found one! I’ve decided to persude a career in Computer science, lately i’ve had my first coding class and i am so happy to see my life finally piecing together and i just can’t wait to learn more

[wizardrytowers]

For someone who takes interest in computer science. It's also like a secret language like no one knows. Just you, your ideas and thoughts

[wizardrytowers]

Ok but the way I'm just reading my book imagining myself in there feels magical

[wizardrytowers]

I started writing a story last year and I still haven't finished it-

[wizardrytowers]

The best way of starting your day is having a morning routine. I have to admit it's a really pleasant view watching the sunrise.

I've finally gotten to the bottom of my candle. The pain.💔

We need to give some recognition to Black/POC in Dark academia. Love to see it!🖤🖤

[wizardrytowers]

I've become a new person and can't wait to learn more about what's put there for me.

“i don’t like writing about my day, but i want to keep a journal”:

quotes and copywork. when reading, if you find something you enjoy, just copy it into the notebook. you can copy a whole chapter if you wish, highlighting what caught your attention the most.

definitions. look up on a dictionary and copy it. you could write your own dictionary as well, making up definitions for words.

lists. a classic, write movies to watch, books to read, the playlist of the month or just the groceries you have to buy.

maps. when going somewhere, you could draw the route you took or just a map of the place itself. just look up the place on google maps and copy it. you can draw a little map of all the places you have lived or the schools you have attended as well.

photos

take “notes” as you watch movies / documentaries. write down phrases that caught your attention or doodle.

illustrations and clippings. if you see an image or piece of art that you liked, put it in your journal. if it’s from a book or from a magazine I would recommend scanning it, tho’. it will serve as a record of what kind of art you enjoy through the years.

newspaper clippings from the day.

tickets and pamphlets. from movies, museums, transportation.

postcards

records. you could record for a month what the temperature was when you woke up and when you went to sleep. if you do that for a year, it gives you a better notion of the passing of seasons. you could record rainfall and other seasonal changes as well. you could choose something (an animal, a plant, an item or object) and write down every time you see it.

rubbings of leaves, coins, landmarks.

count. there’s a scene in the movie Caroline (2009) where Caroline’s dad tells her to go count the windows. you could do the same type of counting game if you are bored and write down.

mindmaps/sketchnotes + timelines of books, movies, music albums.

collages

pressed leafs and flowers

your collections. if you collect anything you could write down an inventory or maybe try to draw the items.

recipes. write down recipes and give it a score every time you try it. you could do the same for drinks you try out.

stickers

comic strips. you can find a bunch of it online, glue your favorites in your notebook.

I'm in online class right now and I just can't wait to lay in my bed and read🤦🏾‍♀️📖

No one :

Me : *Going absolute feral at 2 am*

I HAVE TO LEARN LATIN AND FRENCH. I HAVE TO LEARN PLAYING PIANO AND GUITAR. I HAVE TO WRITE A POEM ABOUT THAT BOY I SAW IN THE LIBRARY. I HAVE TO TELL THE MOON HOW PRETTY SHE IS.

[wizardrytowers]

I really want to go to the library but its closed, The pain. The book I want to read is "The shadow between us"

reading, drinking coffee and marveling at beautiful architecture — a summer well spent.

[wizardrytowers]

One thing I've learned is that you don't really have to live up to the dark academic stand of doing English or specific subjects because one subject that I'm really interested in is computer science. So I really want to encourage your guys to keep perusing you dream aspirations!

how to feel academic on online school

I know it’s hard enough to feel like a dark academic at public school, and online classes have made it even more difficult so:

splash your face with cold water to draw back the curtain of exhaustion

change into a sweater before class starts

make coffee/tea when you wake up and drink it at your desk as you look over your agenda for the day

write poetry (or shitposts) in the margin of your notes

keep a google doc open for when inspiration strikes during your next zoom (or to write down funny experiences you can look back on)

have music playing in your bedroom

when bored: plan a heist on the page behind your notes

write reminders on your hands in black ink and be frustrated when they smudge and you forget what you were reminding yourself of

take a walk during your break; read, admire the flowers, hum to yourself

keep flowers on your desk and watch them wilt over the course of the weeks

also have a plant you can nurture and talk to

if you have a clock or watch, watch the seconds tick by during periods of reflection

coffee runs, even if it’s only to your kitchen

make a moodboard of your favorite quotes/aesthetics/pictures/art on the wall near your workspace to look at as you yearn for the good times

lighting: make it fit your mood. candles, fairy lights, natural light from your window, whatever makes you feel your best aesthetic self

it’s really hard to stay motivated, so try to remember your end goals and to convince yourself you’re interested in the topics at hand (even if you hate it) because that usually makes you put in more effort

pretend you’re the main character in a da film

Once covid is over I'm going to the library📚

[wizardrytowers]

Pianos are one of my favourite instruments to play and sounds absolutely beautiful!🖤
