Objects decay. Information decays. Let's periodically reiterate obvious concepts as a safety measure.

i didn't expect psychology courses to be so hard! it is understandable though, since this one is about lab in psychology. psychophysics and related disciplines seem so intriguing and fun from afar, but it takes me a whole day to understand a concepts in it well. unfortunately i missed this exam due to anxiety issues and i hope i'll get to retake it. i'll admit it is fun to learn this study though it's pretty fascinating that so many people have actually went in such depth about it and actually figured some things out ~

everytime i violently rub my nose in public due to allergies i lose a shit ton of aura points

how do y'all have so much coffee it makes you shit so much

Maturing is realizing you prefer a quiet life. You don't chase after friendships or relationships, you're happy with the few friends you have, no drama, just working on being the best version of yourself, not comparing your life to others, and learning to enjoy your own company instead of relying on others to be happy.

why neuroscience is cool

space & the brain are like the two final frontiers

we know just enough to know we know nothing

there are radically new theories all. the. time. and even just in my research assistant work i've been able to meet with, talk to, and work with the people making them

it's such a philosophical science

potential to do a lot of good in fighting neurological diseases

things like BCI (brain computer interface) and OI (organoid intelligence) are soooooo new and anyone's game - motivation to study hard and be successful so i can take back my field from elon musk

machine learning is going to rapidly increase neuroscience progress i promise you. we get so caught up in AI stealing jobs but yes please steal my job of manually analyzing fMRI scans please i would much prefer to work on the science PLUS computational simulations will soon >>> animal testing to make all drug testing safer and more ethical !! we love ethical AI <3

collab with...everyone under the sun - psychologists, philosophers, ethicists, physicists, molecular biologists, chemists, drug development, machine learning, traditional computing, business, history, education, literally try to name a field we don't work with

it's the brain eeeeee

There's a bunch of adhd advice out there that's like "people with adhd tend to work better under deadlines due to the anxiety so here are ways to artificially induce a stress response in order to get you to get work done" and it's like well what if I don't want to be stressed out all the time in order to function

try to do approach motives journaling. it's when you write down why you want to do something, instead of why you need to do it. write down a couple of reasons like, "without the pressure of exams, maths is pretty fun to figure out" "it opens alot of avenues for things i want to do in the future" "it makes understanding fascinating things (like all sorts of science) easier" "it's like puzzle solving". this will help you start. take breaks, and when you feel scared again, go back to what you wrote down repeatedly and remind yourself that since the results aren't in your hand, you must let go worrying about them, and in the meantime see it as an opportunity that pushes you to learn and solve some math, however much you can out of curiosity and your approach motives. i know it's hard to make a habit of, but eventually you can get there. i personally also am not able to commit to this each and every time, but when something finally does work, it's this. you gotta take the pressure off or else you will stay frozen in fear ~

Guys I’m so overwhelmed with my math class. I’m so behind. I don’t even feel like I can open my laptop. I just scroll through tumblr with an impending sense of doom.

challenge: there is a trans man. he is pre-medical transition. you must not infantilize him. go.

one of the biggest things I can advocate for (in academia, but also just in life) is to build credibility with yourself. It’s easy to fall into the habit of thinking of yourself as someone who does things last minute or who struggles to start tasks. people will tell you that you just need to build different habits, but I know for me at least the idea of ‘habit’ is sort of abstract and dehumanizing. Credibility is more like ‘I’ve done this before, so I know I can do it, and more importantly I trust myself to do it’. you set an assignment goal for the day and you meet it, and then you feel stronger setting one the next day. You establish a relationship with yourself that’s built on confidence and trust. That in turn starts to erode the barrier of insecurity and perfectionism and makes it easier to start and finish tasks. reframing the narrative as a process of building credibility makes it easier to celebrate each step and recognize how strong your relationship with yourself can become

god I would be UNSTOPPABLE if I was capable of consistently initiating tasks. just you wait. you'll be waiting a while but just you wait

“Lab techs are underpaid because the work you guys do just isn’t that important”

Okay then. Fucking do the work yourself then. Do the bitch work. Do the pipetting. Do all the repetitive, menial work that generates the data and analysis you need for your research. Do all this shit yourself, the stuff you thought “wasn’t so important” but felt the need to open a position, one that requires a degree often, too.

every semester, especially during exam season, i automatically fall into the habit of studying for the grades. i have experienced a million times how much that hurts me and my passion for my subjects, and eventually the grades as well. yet, i still find it so hard to stop thinking this way. and then the night before the exam, when the anxiety has reached its peak and can hurt me no more than how much it already has, i radically accept my condition and surrender.

eventually, i start enjoying what i am studying again and stop worrying about the result. i just wish it happened a bit sooner every time, and not always one night before the exam. wish i get there ~

what i wish i looked like on campus 24/7 365 days ~

can i stop realising my love and passion for what i study the night before the exam? i beg-

20-28% of the time i'm a very, very curious, hopeful and ambitious child. rest of the time i am, like that one tweet said, stuck on my back like a bug. when will this cycle stoppp aaaa

i feel like i am better at and happier missing people and longing for them than actually being with them.

I think part of the reason I’m so obsessed with MXTX’s works is the way that each story seems to hold you gently as say “Your kindness mattered. It didn’t alleviate the suffering, it did not undo the pain. But your kindness mattered.”

Kindness could not erase Luo Binghe’s abuse, but it changed the story into a kinder one.

Kindness did not stop Wei Wuxian’s death, but it did save a-Yuan.

Kindness did not undo Xie Lian’s suffering, but it renewed his sincerity to help others.

Kindness did not change the entire world, but it helped create a softer future.

Its such a nice message, that maybe kindness will not protect you, maybe you don’t see the outcome of it, but you should still try to be kind, and I love that honestly.

I feel like it is easier for men and women, especially the ones alright in the head

to realise they are not teens anymore

they are adults

they are in their 20s, adults

they start emulating their parents, maybe other men and women

there are so many to feel like and live as

but not for me

all i feel like is a kid

how do i stop feeling like one

we were kids, and then suddenly everyone became men and women

and i became a joke

and i just see myself becoming more and more of it

who do i become?

Passion

i remember when i used to feel intensely

and like it

i wanted to feel everything

emotions of all hues, saturations and intensities, the whole palette

i wish i had made something out of it, so that i would still remember it

not as vividly, no, i wouldn't be able to

but at least not this vague

i realised that when older people say

oh you're so young, enjoy life

they might be having a different definition of the word enjoy, 

maybe it just means feel, feel alot

feel yearning, pain and heartbreak 

feel the beauty of feeling

of newly discovering being human

before you grow tired of it and just wait for your time

before you become disenchanted, disillusioned

before you discover you can't actually quit

before you become another one of the cogs, and become okay with it

how to study

picture yourself doing a cool thing that will require you to know what you're studying eg. trying to figure out an alien microbe destroying very specific earth bacteria that will kill the ecosystem in a rapid but painful way

i cut myself off from the world thinking that it will make me less anxious, and yet im still anxious all the time.
