People love talking, and I have never been a huge talker. I carry on an inner monologue, but the words often don't reach my lips.

–Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl

My heart has no pity on me.

The undying love for you and poetry made me suffer terribly yet I'm bleeding happily

~Swarnadyuti

[septemberkisses]

From my rotting body,

Flowers shall grow

And I in them,

And that is eternity.

— Edvard Munch

[whispersofthepurplevalley]

I love how gracefully you sneak in to my world no matter how far I go away, and for how long. One sunset, Chase Atlantic, the backseat of my car and flashbacks of a few days lived next to you, that's all it takes for you to begin to breathe again in every buried pieces of me. If not this, what else is love? If not the sound of our footsteps on this invisible bridge between us, then what is a love song?

The other day, lying in bed, I felt my heart beating for the first time in a long while. I realized how little I live in my body, how much in my mind.

study tips to remember as we inevitably have (mini) breakdowns and burnouts during the semester

- plan out the entire day the night before; set out the next day's clothes and envision the day ahead.

- studies have shown that if we plan out the day, it eliminates the fear of the unknown, reducing the fight or flight response so we can stay calm, collected, and focused.

- exercise twice: once early in the morning to get the day's momentum started and once in the evening to de-stress

- use timers to set hard deadlines for each task

- take mini breaks after each task

- during the breaks, don't scroll through social media or websites; instead, lay your head down and blank out the mind.

- eat healthy meals and try not to consume too much sugar or added fats. post-lunch blood sugar spikes are absolutely brutal.

- GO TO OFFICE HOURS to build and maintain connections with professors.

- practice active recall: don't just read through the study notes; quiz yourself and try to each an imaginary student the concepts

- study (only!!!) 30 minutes for each class every single day to retain the information learned that day, on top of the necessary homework and assignments

- TIME MANAGEMENT IS KEY. you can maintain an active social life while being on top of everything academically by using every spare minute to work on assignments, homework, studying, etc.

- remember: it might be stressful now, but imagine the peace and comfort 5-10 years from now as you're in your dream career, reminiscing and thanking your past self for making the sacrifice and working so damn hard to get to where you are.
