14.09.2020 | Yet another celebratory baking session because I’m finally DONE with chapter two of my dissertation. Ecstatic falls short for how I feel at the moment. 🥳

being in your 20’s is like “if I can just get through this week I’ll be ok” but every fucking week

i have to admit it’s actually extremely funny how game of thrones completely collapsed as a cultural phenomenon basically overnight due to how fucking bad the last season and ending were, and also how like the showrunners specifically rushed the ending so they could move on to some disney star wars project but the rushed ending was so fucking bad they actually were removed from the star wars thing too.

reading about random things. educating yourself on cultures that died ages ago. excitement in learning new languages. having a cup of hot coffee/tea on a rainy sunday morning. staying up late to finish reading that one book. quoting shakespeare for no specific reason. listening to slow music while doing school work. singing your favorite song off key when no one is watching. smiling at animals. wearing clothes that makes you feel comfortable. laying on bed after a long tiring day. late night drives on empty roads. complimenting strangers. helping an elderly person to cross the road. hugging your best friend. smell of earth after rain. making others laugh. holding hands. 

College/Grad School Tip: Smile at your peers while they’re giving presentations. I know that class presentations can be boring to sit through, but presentations are always hard to give even if you’re an experienced public speaker. One friendly face can make the whole crowd seem more open and help people feel more confidence. We’re all experiencing academia together, so let’s all support each other.
