I went to a tea party today :D It was so cute!!! My favorite type of tea is still black tea, though. Then I finally went to the store and got some drinks and a hello kitty shirt for $1 (yippeee!!!)

I see people making the same mistake over and over again, because they refuse to heal. They don’t see it because the mistakes have different faces but at its core it’s the same wound playing out. Different people, same lesson. Until you heal, life will keep giving you the same test dressed in new disguises. Not everything is just “not meant to be.” Sometimes it’s a clear sign you’re repeating the same pattern. Life isn’t blocking you, you’re cycling through the same lessons because you’re showing up as the same version of yourself

Life is a learning experience, yes. But making the same decisions and calling it fate is just avoidance. Growth requires awareness, otherwise, you’re not learning, you’re looping

Most people spend their lives coping with their limitations instead of realizing they can rewire their brain to overcome them. You’re not stuck with the mindset or patterns you were taught. Your brain is adaptable & when you change your thoughts, beliefs, habits etc you create new pathways that replace old limitations. You’re capable of more, but it starts with how you train your mind

Another boring day... I went to the library and finished more work. I'm almost done with it! I honestly feel very homesick so nothing is appealing rn

Ever notice how some people can’t admit when they’re ashamed or insecure?

Instead of sitting with it, they twist the story in their head and to others to avoid feeling small. They leave out the parts where they messed up and paint themselves as the victim or the hero

It’s not always intentional, it’s a defense mechanism. Admitting that they felt rejected or acted out of jealousy is uncomfortable, so the ego rewrites the narrative to protect itself

But the less capable you are of being vulnerable, the more delusional you become about what really happened. If you can’t face your shame or insecurity, you’ll keep living in a story where nothing is your fault, but nothing ever changes

Vulnerability is what keeps you in reality. Without it, you stay stuck chasing validation instead of growth

Exam season has begun. Do I need to say more? I redecorated my study space a bit, because the heater next to my desk was removed (it didn’t work anyway). It’s clean and nice. But I’m still waiting for the motivation to kick in. Lab is stressful. Last Friday I worked 10 hours. 10 hours!? I really like this lab and my supervisor is amazing but I’m still glad when it’s over. I have an interview for my next semester internship position. They have a chill vibe from what I can tell from the mails. Let’s see how this plays out.

I’m counting the days to my vacation. Luckily I have the whole September off. And I will do nothing but going on vacation, sleeping in, having coffee for every breakfast, knitting a whole bunch and not think about uni. At all.

genuine question: why tumblr?

i have never seen an actual real corporate entity on here (besides staff), you seem to be the first

im also really interested in the blog, ive always liked jstor, and your posts look pretty cool, im just wondering what made you start this blog (if you as the mod even know)

Hi there! This blog predates me by quite a few years, but if I had to guess, I'd say the original mod likely saw Tumblr's user base as having a lot in common with those who interact with JSTOR on a regular basis.

Tumblr has a very strong, lively community of people with wide-ranging passions and affinities, much like we do! Not only that, but Tumblr's overall culture of knowledge-sharing and deep engagement with history, literature, media, etc. resonates with us. We're also trying to make scholarship and primary sources more accessible for the curious.

This is also my personal favorite platform (I've been here for 13 years now), so I love having yet another excuse to log on :^)

Gosh I hate grind culture. My little sister just started medical school and all of her orientation leaders are like “you absolutely cannot have a life WHATsoever you WILL have to give up EVERYTHING besides this program say GOODBYE to your hobbies and relationships” and now she’s calling me feeling guilty for running and going to the grocery store and that’s just WRONG! And that is exactly what I was told starting law school as well, and rejecting that mentality was the best thing I ever did but it was so hard not to buy into. Anyway if any of you are in an intense academic program PLEASE take time to sleep and eat and exercise and maintain your relationships and keep up your hobbies! you are not a robot who exists solely to study and I promise that living a life and staying physically and mentally healthy is not going to make you fail
