I made another mood board, this one has more GA/chaotic vibes, with possums \^w^/

[bcchnl]

im creating a subgenre of dark academia called grey academia. less classism and less subtle racism. less drugs and alcohol. less wildly expensive colleges and clothes. still with the biting chill of the autumn wind. instead of tweed and carefully pressed suits it’s denim jackets, flannel, and combat boots. everyone carries sketchbooks where they can draw in their long droning classes or write down quick notes or ramble about their feelings. everyone fights to make academia more accessible to the masses. everything is vaguely punk rock and no one dies

Sounds like a hufflepuff

Every time someone reblogs this post I take one d8′s worth of psychic damage

Keep up the good fight for the soul of grey academia!!!

The soul of grey academia is very tired and wants to get everyone the fuck off of tumblr and go take a walk instead.

[writerworks]

A nice walk sounds wonderful ☺ I say the soul of GA needs some self care... how bout we start a thread where we share pics from our walks... ill start:

Walked to home depot to get some plants [big suprise], My cat on the roof and some graffiti I saw on the way:

i have no motivation whatsoever to start the new semester. i have already a deadline next week, but i can’t seem to make myself start working. 

[zoo-studies]

Very relatable, I've lost track of deadlines yet again and it's only week 4.

Hello studyblr community, as some of you may know I’m in my final year of my undergraduate and am in the midst of my final project. I would be incredibly grateful if you would consider taking part in my study. If you’re interested please email me at my institutional email ([email protected]) and I will send you a link to take part in the study and a copy of the participant information sheet.

Thanks everyone!!!

25/1/2021 | 23/103 Days of Productivity

1st day of my last semester in St Andrews. I don't actually have any lectures until Thursday and Friday but I have plenty of diss work to be getting on with. I'm feeling very at peace this morning, maybe it's that the sunrise was beautiful, maybe it's that I can see the days getting longer and can already feel my spirit lifting, who knows.

academic networking, or as I like to think of it, hanging around people long enough that they add you to their dropbox of illicit and highly topic-specific pdfs

Mooother and the wee one

[toadschooled]

This is a very rare and valuable specimen indeed. The Wyoming toad [Anaxyrus baxteri] is an endangered species living only within Morteson lake National Wildlife Refuge in Wyoming, as well as in captivity. A captive breeding program started in 1995 has produced nearly 46,000 offspring as of 2006, most of which have been reintroduced into the wild. Image source here.

A piece inspired by this quote:

“All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.”

I miss when I could go study at the library without it being a biohazard

[hadestudy]

For this Christmas season I would like to have the ability to focus on reading books again

[zoo-studies]

Last week I tried out this new study space in St. Andrews.

7/10 : no plugs and the radiators are a bit noisy, otherwise nice calm environment. Bonus point because of cool rain sound 🌧️

[stickittothedark-archived]

No plugs??

[zoo-studies]

Yeah I know, other study spaces here do have plugs and to be fair we were warned about this one, it's very new and inside a tent.
