Pretty 🥺

day 12 - do you listen to music when studying? show us your top 3 study songs or favorite study playlist!

i really only listen to tame impala while studying, idk why but their music is the perfect combination of upbeat and chill ?? that makes no sense, but they’re really good to work to

I believe in free education, one that’s available to everyone; no matter their race, gender, age, wealth, etc… This masterpost was created for every knowledge hungry individual out there. I hope it will serve you well. Enjoy!

2020 Academia Aesthetic 📚✏️💭

Deadlines met. Positive energy. Goodnight sleeps. Mental health together. Making connections. Coffee because you want it, not because you need it. Studying but not over studying. Good grades. Easy sailing. Building healthy relationships. Staying on top of things. Falling but getting back on track. Never giving up. Keeping your head up.

the clouds were.... surreal the other day

The world of academia is considered highly male centric despite that the aesthetic seems to be dominated by young queer women. I am not a fan of Donna Tartt so I have collected alternatives from my own collection of books and a few from friends and family. Some of the books may not be exactly “dark academia” or a set academic aesthetic but they all address female experiences and are academically acclaimed.

I need advice :)

Is LinkedIn important or is it just to brag about what you’re studying and to compare etc 🥹
