so yesterday i fell asleep on accident so now i gotta write what i did then today dncndnf
so i allowed myself to be a little lazy cause i had to go visit some relatives. All i did was
-repeat the basics of c++
-take some notes on astronomy
welp, still better than nothing
the astrophysics students
dreaming of discoveries yet to be made
wonder at the vastness of the cosmos
long equations scrawled across graph paper
jwst images as your phone lockscreen
solving complex orbital mechanics problems
debating the nature of dark matter
studying relativity and gravitational waves
mind-bending thought experiments that change your way of thinking
stargazing on a clear night
seeing supernovas and black holes in your mind's eye
discovering new stars and planets
a drive to understand the fundamentals of our universe
related: physics, astronomy
I watched half of Bad Samaritan so I had to pause and watch Davd Tennant compilations otherwise I think I would have just been left scarred for life

Tips For Studying When You're Burned Out:
(ideally, you shouldn't even be studying if you're burned out but we live in a shitty world and sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do)
don't look at your assignments as something you have to do. that leads to frustration and constant anxiety over procrastination. instead, think of them as something you want to do!! do them well for the sake of doing them well, not because you have a deadline in two hours.
start with the least emotionally taxing stuff first, like readings or some math warm-ups to get you into the groove. it'll help you ease into the right mindset so you can work properly.
use lifeat.io if you're on a computer!! they have amazing virtual study spaces which have helped me focus whenever i'm in a less-than-ideal situation with a lot of noise and distraction.
listen to calm music if you're the type that needs headphones in to do anything. a good example would be lofi hip-hop or some uplifting classical music. angsty indie is fine, but crying in the middle of your economics essay probably isn't the best use of your time.
if you've been working on something for a few hours and don't understand the topic, take a break and do something else (don't scroll through social media, you'll end up losing an hour or so procrastinating). recharge with a warm drink and let your brain reset. you're more tired than you know.
khan academy and photomath are your best friends. use any and ALL online resources you have, it'll save you a lot of energy!!
if you absolutely can't cope up/know you can't prevent the inevitable, please, please email your prof beforehand!! state clearly the reason why you're not able to complete the work they assigned and what you're going to do to make it up. most of the time they'll be understanding and extend your deadline.
but if your prof is that 5% which doesn't care about your mental health and/or thinks you're slacking off, you probably should have a conversation with your mentor and re-evaluate whether being in that class is the right thing for you.
stay safe and take care of yourself lovelies, you'll make it through this!! <3
wait I'm not sure I would want to chew that I m not sure it would taste good
I've never seen a cishet dark academic bitch like are yall real??? honestly??? are you hiding from us???? I promise we don't bite, we're busy chewing the homophobes and transphobes
As somone who studyed latin at school for five years, here are my tips for all of you who want to teach themselfes how to speak latin:
Forget everything you know about learning a new language. Latin and Greek are different in structure from any laguage you might know. It doesn´t work like English or French or German. The translating is much more mathematical.
Grab a vocabulary book.
Study every vocab in there (it should be about 2.5k).
Realize that there is no word for yes or no but about ten related to killing and dying
Take a look at the grammar. All of it.
Study it until it´s stuck in your brain. You´ll have to remember every little piece of it. Except for maybe the NcI. I never needed that.
At this point you will probably notice that it is almost impossible to learn how to actually speak Latin. Give up that dream. Not even my Latin teacher was able to do that.
Grab any Text from Ovid or Ceasar.
Never just translate from the start to the end of a sentence. Always look for the predicate first and build your sentence up on that. Expect very, very long sentences.
Now you will realize that even translating is a ton lot more difficult than yout thought and you will probbably fail, even if you know all the vocabs and grammar. Again, learning Latin doesn´t work like lerning French. You have to analyse every letter because one small “e” instead of an “a” could change the whole translation.
Hopefully you have now noticed that teaching Latin to yourself within a few months won´t work and believing so was naive.
You could probably learn it with a proper teacher and lots of time, but then it won´t be fun anymore and you will suffer just like all of us students did learning it at school.
Forget about the idea.
Cry.
