dark academia on a poor university student budget
Because tuition is expensive and my job doesn't pay much.
•─•°•❀•°•─•
Letter-writing. Decorate the margins with simple doodles that you know they'd appreciate. Find your own, distinctive sign-off. (You can also do this online by customising emails, Google Docs links, etc.)
Libraries. Campus libraries and their hum of student chatter. Once they begin to get too loud for your liking, visit a public library and study amongst the towering shelves.
Thrifting. Slowly phase old porcelain tableware into your kitchen. Walk to class in a gently-battered long coat. Thumb through copies of classics with worn corners and an old love note on the inside cover. Especially if you find an ornate teacup or mug that you can keep at your study space to be completely yours.
Make it yourself. Press flowers between heavy books and use them as decoration in your journal or sketchbook. Cut up some scrap paper and make bookmarks with your favourite book quotes.
Explore. Wander around public parks in your favourite pullover or blazer, taking photos or sketching whatever it is that catches your interest. Investigate back corridors and secret passages on your campus.
Read all those books in your TBR. (I know you have a lot on there.)
Journal, write, sketch, paint, compose... indulge in whatever creative respite you choose. Create.

Just Chaotic Academia Things
Pen smudges on fingers, arms, everywhere.
Messy hair tied back under headphones. Winged eyeliner, looks of concentration, furrowed brow.
Reading 5 books at once, ranging from fanfiction to classic books. Loving reading for reading's sake and just wholly enjoying learning without judgement or pretentiousness.
Listening to liked songs on shuffle while studying. Black Sabbath comes on one second, Debussy the next.
Doc Martens or converse. Ripped jeans, plaid pants, cargo pants, button ups, band t-shirts. What do you mean I have to stick to one aesthetic?

⚘ small suggestions to feel more dark academic
Be unafraid to prioritise studying. Decide for yourself what brings you more satisfaction.
Have a system for revising. Learn what works best for your learning, and dedicate yourself to sticking to it. Make a table of contents, make a key for your annotations, find a specific spot in the library.
Black pens.
Eyeliner. It looks great on everybody.
Be willing to learn. Do not lose yourself in your studies. Be open to the knowledge of others, experiment with hobbies, ask questions wherever you go.
Keep a journal with you at all times. Record whatever you think you need to, no matter how important or trivial it may be.
Decorate your phone screen. Use custom icons that match your background. If you want visual interest, use widgets.
Make a personal ritual for rewards. Personally, I take myself out for coffee or snacks after finishing a particularly draining exam or assignment.
Do not let yourself become vain or conceited. If following the dark academia subculture boosts your confidence, that's excellent. But remember to stay respectful and polite, and don't take yourself too seriously

Just Chaotic Academia Things Pt 2
Highlighted notes. Maybe once there was a color code but now there isn't- you just put whatever colors look pretty and fit the vibe.
Owning about 30 seperate journals. None are complete, all have a purpose, no you will not get rid of any.
Procrastinating homework by studying something completely unrelated. You may have a five page essay on the French Revolution due tomorrow but you can bet that you will be up researching religious cults until 2am instead.
Wanting to write a book but your plots keep changing. You get about 4 pages in, get another idea and restart. The cycle never ends.
Penciled in notes in the margins of books. Some are complex philosophical analysis, others random thoughts you had while reading. No one but you can understand what any say.

Romance and Reality
The problem with me is I'm a romantic, and I can't help romanticize my desires, situations & decisions. Inevitably, the unromantic banality of reality crashes down with all the disillusionment and growing pains that entails.
When I was a depressed student, I romanticised the hell out of that. I fully bought into the "tortured artists are the best artists" line, but when you find you can't get out of bed, you hate everything you write, you hate yourself, you both cling to friends and alienate them... there's nothing romantic about that, it's just pitiful and sad. Looking back I am just furious at the years I wasted feeling sorry for myself, basking in the righteous anguish of the tortured poet. It was just so silly and so stupid. I got over it, but you can't make up for the lost time, nor for the psychological impediments you've buried deep inside your psyche. I am still dealing with them years later.
When I was working part-time as a TA at my Alma Mater, I romanticised that too, romanticised teaching literature to students, romanticised my future academic work, the potential of an academic's life. But when I didn't hear from my team for an entire summer, I took a step back. I realized then that there were no future prospects in academia that would make for a bearable living. There is no long-term living in academia, no peace of mind, no stability, no unambiguously rewarding passion. There's nothing romantic about a lacking life-work separation, expected overworking, short-term contracts, and being resented by students for wanting them to do better. So, I quit.
The situation I find myself in at the moment seems entirely unromantic at first glance: an unromantic job, an unromantic living situation and the unromantic prospects of just writing and publishing without any acclaim or acknowledgment, fame or fortune. There's no romance here in what could be, no exciting prospects or promises of extravagant potential.
And yet, there is a profound contentment to be found in a life chosen for its simplicity; in writing and creating for yourself, in leaving the pressure of performance & productivity behind, in living with loved ones, providing and doing your part, gradually reconnecting to your roots, finding pleasure and pride in locality, in the ways and history of your family and hometown. There is true romance in quietly, imperceptibly being yourself and working at whatever makes you happy.
For the longest time, I thought the romantic life I wanted, the only life that was valid as a creative, was the big-city bohemianism of the freelance writer, academic, content creator or whatever. But I found such a lifestyle to be cold, unsound, individualistic and uncaring.
So to anyone who's like me, whose romanticism seems to compel them to live a life that seems unfit for them: you have not failed as a writer, an artist or an academic if you can't live the life of instability and precarity that is associated with the 'greats.'
You are not less creative, passionate, talented or worthy for not sacrificing the livability of your existence on the altar of conventional success.
