let's do this

The JSTOR Art Project 

I’m PUMPED to share this poster with you–It’s one of my favorite pieces I’ve completed in the past year. I was asked by JStor to create an image of a student’s desk…and to, basically, have fun with it. I filled the space with treasured objects from my studio, from my memories, and from my own research projects on JStor. I included some detail shots because this poster was HUGE and I was able to get really detailed. 

Detail 1: An excerpt from a quote that is very important to me. Detail 2: Some book spines, including a sneak peak of the spine of Compass South (our first story, Hope! :)) Detail 3: A ticket stub that is very important to me. (and I only wish I owned that skull) Detail 4: Pluche, or the Love of Art–a good book and you should read it.

 This poster will be distributed to school libraries and institutions across the country.

In addition, JStor also came to my studio and filmed a little interview with me about the poster. If you are interested in seeing my adorably low-budget studio space and my pink-potato face, you can watch it here. (edit: or below)

My last week of freshman year was hectic, so say the least… still can’t believe I’ve done an entire year’s worth of college. This wasn’t what my original plan was, but sometimes plans change, and your path changes, and your entire future changes, and sometimes thats okay. I don’t think everything happens for a reason, but I do think that some things just might. So looking forward to what’s to come next!

exams!! are!! over!! I’m actually so glad they’re over because boi no one likes exam season

I reckon I did alright in most of them, but all that’s left to do now is to just wait until results come out - there’s no point worrying about something that’s already been done and can’t be changed.

6?/100 days of productivity 11.8.17

~hey folks! long time, no speak. i literally haven’t posted original content in ages, but anyways. i got this cute idea from my fellow fave, @studyflash ,so i hope you enjoy! this was my study day ~

8:30- i woke up to a gusty and damp campus. its been raining all day, and although it’s beautiful, i can’t stand it :( 

8:57- i started reading some poetry to just get my brain going and ready to study

11:10- i finished studying for my biology class (i used anki).

13:47- i went to my biology lab class. i was literally so scared to go today because we had an oral presentation, but i nailed it 

14:55-i finished my oral presentation and started doing research for my lab paper. learn a lot of information about reef corals lmao.

ghibli things !! (i debated over buying this mirror for almost the entire week i was in japan lol, but it was so worth it) 

18/100 days of intentional things

i studied, worked out and cleaned my room today! i also had some popcorn and continued to read an enchantment of ravens, so nice.

last week i ended my cbt (cognitive behavioural therapy). it was hard to do since i really wanted therapy. the person that treated me basically told me that i shouldnt tell myself that i have adhd because “im smart and nothing like them” and that i dont have adhd because she couldnt tell i had it when she looked at me. first of all, adhd has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with how smart you are. if anyone tells you otherwise, theyre either uneducated, ableist or ignorant (usually its a combination of all three). second of all, i have an official diagnosis which means that i am one of them, which in turn means she views me as lesser than people who dont have adhd. third, how the HECK can you tell if someone has adhd by looking at them? are we supposed to wear a special adhd garment or something? maybe she is psychic who specialises in distinguishing people with adhd?? someone should tell the swedish government because theyd save so much money on diagnosing people lmao

in all seriousness: hearing all of this did not only hurt my feelings, it showed how unfit she was to treat anyone in need of cbt. she was a psychologist- a mental health professional, for heavens sake- she, if anyone, should know what adhd means. that whole thing really made my energy levels low and thats why ive been a bit absent on here.

I am currently in the library studying for my last final on Friday. [Advanced criminal law].

Have their ideals be right but their methods be wrong

Make it seem like their dastardly methods are really the only way to achieve the goal for the “greater good.”

Have them develop from a flat antagonist to a well-rounded protagonist
