I Will Finish At Least One Side Project Before I Die

I will finish at least one side project before I die…

a sibling relationship is just “i love you beyond my own life but i’ll never say it” plus “i’ll kill you over a stolen shirt don’t even fucking test me” plus “inside jokes and secret language” plus “i literally do not understand the dark recesses of your mind what the fuck are you made from” plus the occasional “oh my god please don’t eat tha - spit it OUT SPIT IT OUT” 

“I need and want to give the intimacy we achieve with words. But words are complex: at times too powerful or fragile or simply wrong; and they are affected by a tone of voice, a gesture of a hand, a light in the eyes. And words are sometimes autonomous little demons who like to form their own parade and march away, leaving us behind.”

My much requested list of resources for studying astrophysics. Happy learning!

What I learned about Academia on my Gap Year.

The prettiness of my notes did not matter when I had to throw them all out.

It wasn't that I was bad at math, I simply needed to take more time at it. Having plenty of time: I filled in the gaps in my knowledge and I am kind of?? good?? at it now???? 🧐

Nobody cares about what grades you got in high school once you're where you want to be. Literally once I got into my uni course, noooobody gave a flying f**k about them.

A degree isn't always a money bag. In my job, I am paid the same as people who have masters degrees in Finance and Engineering. (clarification : its not much)

I didn't learn as much as I thought I would from travel. You'll never magically learn a language from simply being in a country; you still need to be👏 actively 👏 learning 👏!!!

Most importantly :

If everything you learn comes from school/lectures, you haven't learned much at all.

A small guide to anyone that’s feeling overwhelmed and want to clear out their mind. Hope this helps :) Stay safe and hope you have a lovely day/night
