Academic advice that you must remember while you follow the "aesthetic"
romanticising school and studies by using aesthetics (i.e. Dark academia, art academia, chaotic academia, etc) is really helpful for motivation, but there are many things you must keep inmind
★ Stop romanticism of insomnia. I mostly blame dark academia fanatics for this (not all, but most). in order to remember what you have studied properly as the brain absorbs the information you studied while your sleeping and it maintains a good mental health. Put an end to the "sleep is for the weak" mindset. Cause no sleep actually makes you weak.
★ stop worrying about not having aesthetic notes with colourful pens, heading and doodles like you see in the "study with me videos". It doesn't matter how it looks, as long as you understand, that's the whole point of having notes in the first place. To study, it's not an assignment or project for you to spent hours switching between pens and markers.
Partly people are so deep focused on making everything look "aesthetic" and forget to study, which was supposed to be the main priority.
★ if you get a bad grade once in a while, don't get demotivated. Sometimes no matter how hard you study you won't get the result you want, it might sound cliché but all you can do is try again. No matter how good someone's grades are, these is always a moment where they get a low grade for wherever reason, instead of taking that as a cue to give up, take it as an opportunity to bounce back
(remember, some study hacks may work for some people but it won't work for everyone, so try to find a method that's best suitable for you)
★ Put you phone away when your studying, it's a huge distraction (wow mom was right) now, if your study materials are in your phone or you study through YouTube, then i suggest you turn off you notifications of social media apps (i.e YouTube, Instagram and even Tumblr)
Also not a study advice, but avoid using your phone when your eating, pls it's for you own good, and stop creating fake scenarios when you sleep, it's the reason you can't sleep dummy

Alright folks I wouldn't call myself a die-hard swiftie but I've been seeing an insane amount of hate towards Taylor Swift fans and it doesn't sit right with me. Hating on someone for having an escape from this difficult world isn't cool.
I understand being tired of the overexposure and having your personal criticisms for Taylor Swift herself, I also understand not liking the fans who are rude or immature bc you happen to not connect with her songs (I've dealt with this kind) or defend her every step but thats a minority, although loud bc of the internet. Most of her fans span from ages 7 to 50 (she's been around for almost 20 years) They're mostly chill and are just rlly fucking passionate about music and lyrical parallels. The hate towards the entire fan base and the normalization of calling them names and wishing for their (to put it in lighter words) unwellness is quite literally vile. You could just say you don't understand the hype and move on (since it's what sensible adults do), otherwise you're just as obnoxious as that one specific group of die-hard fans you don't like.
Again, hating on someone for having an escape from this difficult world isn't cool. Also she has good writing in her songs and the respect and love for it was earned.
