A literary academic can no more pass a bookstore than an alcoholic can pass a bar.

Patience is the calm acceptance that things can happen in a different order than the one you have in mind.”

A lot of the conflict you have in your life exists simply because you’re not living in alignment; you’re not be being true to yourself.

For You

In dreams you haunt me still, little fragments of memories that bubble up to the surface in my subconscious.

Do not try to trample me. I am built from concrete and stone. I have withstood many before you, and you will not be the one to break me.

I’ve been haunted by you for two years now. I fight the nightmares. I fight the heartache. It hurts to stay sometimes, but It would be weak to leave. I still miss you but there’s no tremble in my voice until I try to say someone else’s name. There’s a ghost inside me, yes. But it is so full of light. How is it a curse if you want it? How is it darkness if you love it? I am brave. I am brave. I am brave.

You will always make me feel this. Always.

Hello, Stranger

Tutorial: how to make a study schedule.

Make a reference sheet with separate lists for each subject. This reference sheet is used to orient your daily studying.

List the material you need to study for each subject. Be more specific than you would be on a study schedule and make sure you put down everything you need to go over.

On your schedule, highlight the exam dates and deadlines and put down any relevant information.

Using your reference sheet, assign certain material to go through each day.

Scheduling tips

If you haven’t been working on study material throughout the semester; schedule days before your study leave to work on study sheets for revision, flash cards, summaries, whatever you use to study. 

Take a day to gather your study material before your study leave begins. Like the weekend classes end or so. This will save you a lot of time when you sit down to study every day.

Schedule your studying so that you start studying for the last final first, and the first final last. Make sure you start this early enough to give yourself time to revise for the subjects you need to.

If you have a day between each of your finals, take the night of the final off and revise for the next exam the day after. If not, take the couple of hours after your exam off then revise for the next one.

Schedule the harder/heavier material in a subject first, so that you work on that material when you have more energy.

If you’re taking subjects that you have difficulty with, or subjects with a heavy workload; schedule catch up days. However, don’t let that encourage you to slack off. Try to stick to your schedule and only rely on the catch up days if you really need to, and if you don’t; then it’s a day off!

Also, schedule days off… a day or if you can’t afford it, half a day. I can’t stress how important it is to take time for yourself, it’ll help you avoid burnout. 

Disclaimer: this is the way I’ve been making study schedules since I started college. By no means am I claiming it’s perfect or that everybody should follow it.

I’m sorry I’m posting this by the end of the year when a lot of people are already done with exams, but perhaps it’ll be helpful for people taking summer courses now? And also for next year :)

When you go off into battle, leave with her name on your lips. Take life after life just to spend another moment with her. This is all for her. When the waves crash down all your hopes, think of nothing but her. Look around at the ruins at your feet and pick up the pieces. Nothing can stop you. When poisonous songs lure you in, break away just for her. Bring yourself back from the brink of death to hold her one more time. Nothing matters more. When you find another body to warm yours at night, let thoughts of her plague you. Realize that no heartbeat can match yours as perfectly as hers. You were meant to be. When another man approaches her, she will stay strong. She will wait for you. God, she will love you.

fall into the patterns that make your purpose shine. why cut your skin when you can sever all ties with self hatred instead? lets take value off a reflection and relish in the sound of mirrors shattering as a heart finds a true reason to keep beating.
