study like a Ravenclaw

What a year this week has been.

Never limit yourself. You don’t have to choose between STEM and the arts. You don’t have to choose between that aesthetic or the other. Just let yourself be the most authentic self you can be, embrace all the different aspects of your personality, your interests, and your skills.

I’ve Survived Every Bad Day I’ve Ever Had, Motherfucker!!!

the ‘me’ during the last two weeks of any semester is always the worst version of myself. ive been eating popcorn and non dairy ben & jerrys for three days straight. yesterday i had vegan mac&cheese for breakfast. i drank cold brew at 4pm. there was a day this week where i had bagels for breakfast, lunch and dinner. ive been listening to the camp rock 2 soundtrack for three hours. cant remember the last time i showered. i spent 40 minutes picking a theme for my power point presentation. help

as a procrastinating overachiever i feel like i don’t necessarily “half-ass” things, it’s more like a “3/4 ass”. like overall did i do pretty well? yeah. did i reach my maximum potential though? i think the fuck Not.

start things. be the friend in your group who is the reason for fun memories. organize trips to different cities. or concerts. or festivals. show your loved ones good coffee shops and restaurants. go on late night adventures at that one lake. be full of love and brightness. introduce a monthly bake day. love your friends. they deserve nothing less. be full of positivity that everyone feels loved.

i think one of the biggest problems i have with getting stuff done is i assume it’s easy for other people. like “she gets up at six every morning because she’s a morning person” or “yeah, he can run five miles every day but he likes running” or “she knows five languages, her brains just wired differently than mine” when in reality it’s all about discipline for everyone. like yeah, some people have natural aptitudes for some things but anyone that’s accomplishing anything is putting in the work. achievements don’t come easy, and i think if i start acknowledging that it’s like that for everyone i can stop making excuses
