Work as hard as you can and then be happy in the knowledge you couldn’t have done any more.

this quote from ovid’s telling of orpheus turning back to look at eurydice makes me crumble

[wheres-your-paddle]

things i've heard environmental science majors say:

"For the test we'll need to tell the different flavours of mayflies apart." / "Did you just say flavours?"

"It amazes me how many city kids are in this program." / "We're all desperate to get out of this city."

"I think everyone who attended all the surface water pollution lab sections should be allowed to lick one piece of glassware of their choosing. Y'know, as a treat."

"Professor, nobody goes into this major unless they like to eat dirt." / "Great, so you can talk the Students' Association into convincing the board to give me funding for my trees?"

"What're we toasting to?" / "Nitrogen pollution."

"You look frustrated. What's up?" / "I had twenty-one Leptophlebiidae in my dish. He's going to think I'm lying about how many Leptophlebiidae are in my dish."

"If you weren't raised by Wall-E, do you even belong in this class?" / "The Onceler." / "Fuck, good point."

"Dude, I spent the whole exam trying not to sink my teeth into a really, really juicy bug in my sample—" / "Cranefly?" / "...yeah."

"Well, just make sure you're not (person)'s lab partner. Last weekend's trip involved him leaving too many fish in the dirt for the professor's liking."

[exhausted chorus] "And the fish go belly-up."

"What's the major difference between east coast and west coast soils?" / "Alcoholism."

"Got any plans for the holidays?" / "Gonna go home and listen to my entire extended family call me a tree-hugging hippie." / "Aren't we all?"

Whatever is learned with satisfaction and enjoyment stays with you forever.

My college art professor is a trekkie (and a big ds9 fan) and I can't go on Tumblr during his class and look at fanart of Garak with big ol naturals without him spawning behind me and asking questions

Little things to look forward to this Autumn 

Reading while cuddled up in soft blankets

Becoming addicted to tea again (I know I'm not the only one…)

Cute layered outfits with cosy knit sweaters and big scarfs

Foggy and gloomy mornings <3

Studying while listening to classical music

Switching from yoghurt bowl to oatmeal for breakfast

Collecting pretty dead leaves and putting them in your diary as a little memory

Adding cinnamon to your coffee again and making hot chocolate

Baking cinnamon rolls with friends (or at least trying to...lol)

Seeing the first leaves change colour

Buying cute stationery for the new semester

Maroon nails and lips (the girls that get it, get it.)

Reading at night, all cuddled up while it's raining outside

Cinnamon or vanilla-scented candles

Spending hours at cosy bookstores and reading poetry

Soup season. SOUP SEASON.

opening the windows in the morning and letting the cool autumn air inside

Rewatching Gilmore Girls and dressing like Rory (same thing every year, let's be real here…)

Being a cosy girl doing cosy things <3

Let me know what you're looking forward to the most; autumn is such a beautiful season... lots of cosy content planned!! ;)

Okay, look, I've been in college for two years and my Biology professor has pretty significantly rooted this educational science game called Labster into her course.

I was not expecting to be playing Portal all day for school.

Yeah, this is a full, 360 sci-fi free roam lab environment that you can pretty much do whatever you want in. You know those cruddy flash game experiments you used to do in middle school? Those are a thing of the past.

And check this: the entire lab is being run by this super cool AI droid named Dr. One

She floats around and directs you around the lab depending on the lesson you're taking and sounds eerily similar to GLaDOS. It turns out that Dr. One also has a lore page and that she was created originally for "unethical purposes."

Also, this environment is extremely detailed and even runs shaders and ambient occlusion in your web browser.

That's pretty nuts, considering the only time we ever see these things are built into genuine video games, not a web browser lab. It runs incredibly smoothly on my GTX 1050.

This is insanely impressive and I actually enjoyed my homework today. 10/10, would play this in my free time.
