Nothing I have known ever seemed real

until I touched you with it.

went to overachieving student to huge mess. i am now fairly depressed and doing my masters through distance learning. anyone interested in forming a support group for lonely, insane academics ? we have to be held accountable for our actions in some way

Dark academia Ravenclaw

-dark blue nails, few of them looking like a night sky, full of stars

-wearing mostly black, brown and dark blue(but burgundy, beige and bottle green don’t hurt either)

-in summer or at home wearing t-shirts with constellations, quotes from books or with your favourite paintings

-having, and using often, stamp with Ravenclaw crest

-listening to Ravenclaw classical playlist (that do include Harry Potter soundtrack, because even if the films are shit, soundtrack is magical)

-playing chess with your dad, constantly trying to improve yourself

-having favourite study method that is probably blurting or Feynman technique

-loving to stargaze

-if you have an ipad or any other tablet that you take notes on - taking them in brown and blue

-writing with fountain pen that you got from family member

-studying anything you want, not listening to the ones who says that dark academia is only about literature (shortly - stem dark academia!!!)

-always having a book with you, constantly reading (anything - fanfiction also count), eventually daydreaming about the book/fanfiction you are writing

-studying smart not hard and getting the best grades

-being known by your teachers because of your passion for studying and being a perfect student

-knowing that if you want to study efficiently you have to sleep during night so every evening you are going to bed, even if you love sitting at night - it’s for greater good

-loving when it’s cloudy - especially when it rains or there is a thunderstorm

-learning 3+ languages at the same time

-hating using slang - it hurts both your ears and throat

-always dressed either as hogwart student - with a blue(perfectly ravenclaw) tie, white collar shirt and a black sweater on that or the most elegant person in the whole building (you can never be overdressed)

-drinking either the enormous amount of tea - from your favourite vintage cups - or coffee - from your favourite mug(but it’s never a normal one - normal ones are for boring people)

-if you have and can afford - playing Hogwarts Legacy of course

-always smarter than the rest of your friends, dreaming about having a group of dark academic friend with who you could study together

-if you like stem - wearing stem jewellery for example with chemistry compounds

-books everywhere

-having hundreds unread books but you don’t have time to read because you prioritize studying - always

-your friends and family constantly reminding you about taking breaks, but “you do not have time for breaks, you need to study“

-planning how you want to decorate your room so it will look like ravenclaw common room in dark academia aesthetic

-doing some sport because you know it’s important for your health

-eating healthy too, because you know it’s important

The great dark academia study techniques

rewriting your notes, over and over and over again, not worrying about the neatness but paing close attention to each and every word

muttering every bit you know by heart under your breath

studying early in the morning, focusing on one chapter and poudering it through the day

researching things that you have questions about on your own

reciting your notes dramaticaly to yourself

romantizing bits that you have difficulty getting interested in

changing your notes at night

History things I'm researching this semester from least to most favorite:

-The American Dollar Princesses of the Gilded Age

-A comparison of Egyptian and Roman ghosts and demons

-The effects of WWI on women's fashion

And, lastly, my Capstone topic:

-Catullus' poem 101 and Roman funerary tradition!

[peachestoon2016]

When I grow up, I want to live in a small, autumnal town, where it rains at all times. I want a cosy Gilmore Girls like house, with both dark academia and vintage vibes. I want to visit corner book shops, where I could crouch down to search for my next read. I want to visit cafés, where I can study while sipping coffee. I want to wander around the town and feel the leaves scrunching under my feet. Oh, and I also want a girlfriend, who'll hold my hand while we're exploring mysterious forests.

Finally ticking off a library that my dark academic heart had been yearning for

100 days of productivity

I actually DID VECTORS AND ONLY 2 TOPICS ARE LEFT.

Very happy with my progress

It's a beautiful topic as it forms the base of the Physics...

It's so wonderful how we humans are fond of imagining everything on X-Y plain and simplifying it for our own understanding.

We're putting so much efforts in understanding this cosmos as we're obsessed with the idea of everything happens and exists for some reason

My new floor desk setup

30 days of productivity

I got my standing desk converter yesterday but it works perfectly as a floor desk. I love it so far, although it doesnt have a lot of space.

(Not religious btw, the crucifix is on my wall cos it looks nice)

August 4th, 2023 — 5/100 days of productivity

I completely forgot to post in the last four days, I apologize. In the meantime, I made some progress on my thesis — I started a new paragraph just now — and I finally got myself to do those hideous Spanish flashcards.

I also finished Good Omens and Heartstopper. It might not sound productive at all, but as a Master Procrastinator I find it difficult to actually finish things, especially TV shows. However, Good Omens is my favourite show ever so it was a pleasure to watch for me.

That's it for today, peeps!

📖 A book on my nightstand: Winter of the Witch, by Katherine Arden

✒️ A thing on my to-do list: Finish Spanish flashcards

☁️ A thing I'm grateful for: Synonyms dictionaries

𝕱𝖗𝖎𝖉𝖆𝖞. 24𝖙𝖍 𝖔𝖋 𝕱𝖊𝖇𝖗𝖚𝖆𝖗𝖞.

𝔇𝔞𝔶 𝔣𝔬𝔲𝔯.

𝕸𝖞 𝖌𝖔𝖆𝖑𝖘 𝖋𝖔𝖗 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖉𝖆𝖞 (𝖓𝖔𝖓-𝖓𝖊𝖌𝖔𝖙𝖎𝖆𝖇𝖑𝖊!):

- Overview the entire history period;

- Plan for the history dissertation;

- 10 sections of my geography textbook;

- 2 sections of the atlas.

          Today feels sort of like a failure... I felt like my brain was broken the entire time, I was extra slow! But I’m done with the biggest part of my work at the moment - doing research for the history exam coming next Tuesday. Sure, I’ll still have to put some order in my notes, and (dear me) learn it all by heart. But now, I can just go into learning machine mode: no brain cell needed for that. 

To sum up: not too proud... but not too mad. Tomorrow I’ll focus on geography 100% for sure!

𝕬𝖓𝖉 𝖎𝖋 𝕴 𝖍𝖆𝖛𝖊 𝖊𝖝𝖙𝖗𝖆 𝖙𝖎𝖒𝖊, 𝕴'𝖉 𝖑𝖎𝖐𝖊 𝖙𝖔:

- Study a text from my Atlande philosophy textbook

- Gather quotes from Lettres de l’Année 1671.

      (don’t forget to: drink water, make coffee, move around, stay off phone and be positive. we can do this!)

I love studying! Sitting behind my desk and studying is so fascinating *internal screaming because I don't want to study so much I want to cry*
