lower-income people tend to be “hoarders” and richer people are able to do more “minimalist” living spaces. if u don’t have much, you will hold onto any little thing that comes across your way. you got a new tv, but you still keep the old tv because you know things can break. you keep extra boxes of macaroni and cheese lying around because there will be a week when you don’t have money for groceries. you hold onto your stacks of books and clothes for dear life. those are your assets. physical evidence of where your money’s gone. it’s hard to get rid of it. the bare wall is terrifying when you don’t have much.

if your stomach’s sensitive because of anxiety, by all means spread out the food you eat over the course of the day instead of having large meals, just don’t…not eat.  you will go into hypoglycemic shock and that will suck.

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

“But just as paying attention to another person fosters intimacy and makes us feel less alone, perhaps scientific observation allows us to enter into a similar relationship across species. By listening, by returning to the grove time and again, by tuning our ears to the sounds of beings unlike ourselves, we begin to reenter what Thomas Berry, the Catholic eco-theologian, calls “the great conversation” between humans and other forms of life. This too can have a grounding effect, can help stave off a different, larger, and more gaping loneliness. If anything is sacred, it is this, I think. And by this I mean all of it: the salmonberries beginning to ripen in the bramble; the scratchy, scolding caw of the Steller’s jay that will nibble there; the long, straight trunks of the Pacific red cedars that rise into the sky’s blue cathedral. The web of life that too often capitalism seems dead set on dismantling.”

— Elizabeth Rush, Rising: Dispatches from the New American Shore

I hope you’re all having a good and productive day. If not, don’t worry. There’s 7 days in a week and 365 in a year. You have time. Don’t be afraid to let yourself have a break. Everything will be okay. Good luck and stay strong, friends.

God, it was so warm outside today! I enjoyed the shit out of the library though. I try to switch study spots every couple of hours to make the whole study experience a bit less boring, and there are so many options to choose from. The best part is that nobody goes to the library in the summer so I have practically the whole thing for myself. I’m also getting slightly obsessed with Tarzan? I watched the first half of the movie and I cried three times. I listened to the movie soundtrack all day while studying and I just have so many feelings about this movie I can’t deal ok

See you tomorrow xoxo

life is so subtle sometimes that you barely notice yourself walking through the doors you once prayed would open.
