My aesthetic is like dark academia but the medieval Iranian / Islamic golden age version

Sick during finals week is my worst nightmare, and yet here we are. Being kept alive by a lot of fluids (aka gatorade) and spite. I thankfully only have one more final to go this Friday (because my other Profs. decided that reading week is actually just finals week).

I’m gonna make physiology my bitch.

Listen to me: You get good at things by being bad at them. You learn by failing. You gain competency and a sense of mastery by failing at something many times and in many interesting ways.

The sooner you are able to laugh at your own failures, to enjoy the process of messing up, the easier life will be. Because you'll no longer be afraid of learning.

And once you're no longer afraid of failing, you can learn anything.

I’m OPD! so! I accomplished a lot of things! I worked out, wrote on my journal, hang with the people and dog I love, and did my laundry. what is this sorcery. this is once in a blue moon… but mostly I think it’s just two cups of coffee per day. it’s the key to a good life

dark academia isn’t just for the humanities: i bring you STEM academia.

observatories. stargazing. biographies of scientists. filling the board end to end with equations. hand-drawn anatomical diagrams. the hazy euphoria after finally finishing an assignment. oppenheimer & frankenstein. the uniformity of a circuit board; the chaos of a programming window. ibm’s a boy and his atom. event horizon telescope’s black hole photo. the wonder of studying anatomy and knowing that’s happening within you. sketching organic compounds that may as well be sigils. studying latin for medical terminology. doing problem sets to classical music.
