30 days of dark academia:

Day seven:

Long phone calls in the morning, editing essays, lectures before class, watching campus get quieter as the hours pass from your study spot outside the library, playing Chopin whilst cooking dinner, writing for the first time in a long time, reading Plato in bed.

30 days of dark academia:

Day six:

Wearing all black, drinking my coffee in the laneway outside my apartment, studying Latin, dark chocolate, buying a pretty copy of Plato’s Symposium, waking early, having a coffee with a friend, watching the change in seasons.

30 days of dark academia:

Day five:

Playing classical music during breakfast, reading Euripides, coffee made in a French press, gentle breezes, smiles from strangers, public transport, writing in the park, walks at twilight, missing childhood.

rainy days, good books, coffee, tea, cold weather, autumn season, sweaters, the smell of pastries or baked goods, sunsets and sunrises, gorgeous buildings, and libraries with high ceilings.

30 days of Dark Academia:

day four:

Long train rides watching the overcast sky out the window, rereading the secret history, editing essays, spending hours in the second hand bookshop, reorganising stacks of books cluttered around the apartment, buying pen refills, tea and biscuits, the floral scent of earl grey.
