a bit about this blog:

my intention/goal is to document my life (like a journal) while holding myself accountable

productivity vs. wellness

while my goal is to be productive, i hope to never sacrifice my well-being to achieve that

i would advise taking everything on this blog with a grain of salt (what's realistic for me might not be for someone else, while i try to be open my posts will likely never show the full story of my day, ect.)

i am trying to reblog positive posts/advice/self-care stuff to balance all the hustle culture out o7

I think in academia, the best thing to realize (as early as possible) is to admit you don’t know. Save time, ask the stupid question, learn and move on.

i keep getting the urge to come back and post here but idk what format/how i want to structure my posts :(

[misslittlephysicist]

I hate when people are impressed by the fact that I'm a physicist like "oooh so you're a genius?!?!?!?" What? no bitch I might be academically smart, but on the streets? I'm dumb as hell

[uisce-portaigh]

one of my favorite parts of academia is the dick swinging power that directly correlates in strength to the length and girth of your bibliography

[theprophetingrid]

Grad school is wild because you'll spend 5 straight months minding your own business and trying to fix a very specific problem, and then someone will come up to you one day and just drop the most feral departmental drama. What do you mean one professor probably murdered another? That girl you don't like is getting fired for drinking ultrapure lab water? There's a guy stealing toxic chemicals from other labs "to banish demons?" I'm over here trying to improve my standard deviation for months on end and across the hall there's a whole HBO show going on, apparently.

You don't have to force yourself to bounce back so quickly. I read something recently that said "when you come in from a rainstorm, you don't expect yourself to be dry and warm right away", and it really resonated with me. It's okay to take time to dry off and warm up. Take the time you need to process what happened to you.
