got some history studying done for the exam on monday, planted a new plant (nerve/red vein), got a pumpkin, and read some romantic literature. I also started experimenting with watercolor, not that I have any experience with art at all. have a good day :)

Today is Sunday and I’m taking time out to just reconnect. I’m only on tumblr today, I’m not allowing myself on any other social media and instead aiming to spend the day reading, going on walks, journaling and just being with myself.

Life has been on the move so much which is fantastic, I love what I’ve been doing, however I need some time out to just do what I truly love

happy fall everyone! i’m at that point in the semester where i have a million and one things to do and not enough time to do any of it! that means it’s time to recenter and take things one tiny step at a time!

student self-care: but not necessarily the feel-good kind edition

1. what have you been procrastinating on? afraid to do? make a list. put it on your google calendar. be very honest with yourself. put every single task you have to do, schedule it, block out your calendar if you have to. it’ll help you in the long run even if it’s scary at first.  2. sort the loose papers settled at the bottom of your backpack. don’t risk losing precious class notes or syllabi or readings. use folders to classify them by subject. label them clearly. sort them by chronological order and label what class and what part of the syllabus they’re from. you’ll thank me during exam season. 3. evaluate your finances. have a way of keeping track of them. personally, i tend to spend a lot on food and coffee when i’m stressed. make a budget and stick to it.  4. if you’re struggling in a certain subject, make some time for it. i know it’s painful and easier to procrastinate, but make time. set a certain quota of pages to read. email your professor for help and consult if you have to. 

5. eating healthy isn’t necessarily eating delicious. i know everyone posts their croissants and lattes and cakes (guilty) but eat that salad, eat your vegetables, eat a balanced diet. it’s brain food and it’ll sustain you and help you focus better. 6. take the time to really care for yourself. make it a routine. take daily walks, count the glasses of water you have, make sure to shower regularly. do your laundry and clean your room. take your medication regularly, schedule doctor’s appointments if you need to. your health is much more important than school, and your wellbeing will help your performance. 7. sleep is good. regular sleep is good and necessary. but know when you have to sacrifice a little sleep to get things some very hard things done. then sleep after.  self-care isn’t always pretty. sometimes it’s about being disciplined and confronting what you’re afraid of. but it will make things easier and lighter for you in the long run. just one day at a time.

every semester, without fail, there’s some freshman who’s like “oh I never check my email lol” and i get worried for them, bc they’re going to miss some important email about a pop quiz or a test, or something and then fail. so if you’re a freshman reading this, CHECK YOUR EMAIL im not joking, professors will send you stuff via email that they’ll never mention in class. I’m in my email every hour on the hour before and after class. check that shit. put that app on ur phone, turn on notifs, go in and refresh every hour, check your spam, check your email

this has been a message from your concerned dad. check ur email, do well in school, i love you

As soon as I stepped into the library I felt like I was home again. I'm working on two classics papers right now, and for one of them I'm using a book that's been in circulation for 104 years, while the content is 1500 years old.

Found this old pic I never posted from when I was a senior at Pitt. I loved the evening golden hour because I usually wasn’t awake for the morning one.

Day two in Amsterdam, and I LOVE it. This library is located in the Rijk Museum. It was really beautiful.
