A Master Post Of Thomas Romain’s Art Tutorials.

THIS VERSION IS SO FUCKING PREFECT

and this struggled beating heart whenever you make an appearance

towards a gentle academic

be up front and honest about the things you do not know

acknowledge the intrinsic value of others’ knowledge bases, even if they do not seem important to you from your institutional context

do not feign mastery where you have none

respect the gaps in others’ knowledge bases

be generous, not only with others

but also with yourself

you overwork yourself at the risk of legitimizing a culture of overwork 

privilege voices and perspectives that have historically been left out of the academy

nothing is ever neutral or apolitical

support the progress of other scholars

collaboration over competition

oh my, oh my my sweetheart

your words and your thoughts are a companion to my soul

your smile and your eyes a dazzle sight to my eyes

your hair and your laugh keeps reliving my love

for you, to you still you cant realise that

all my affections are for you truly for you

Rory Gilmore is a super important role model in education. She doesn’t just dedicate herself to learning because she cares about grades, but because she’s passionate about learning inside and outside of school. Passion is the fuel of knowledge. Hope her work ethic can help boost yours as we all head into that end of year madness! Good luck with whatever exams you’re taking, but don’t just admire her dedication. Go study, even if it’s only for a few minutes. Learning is never something you will come to regret and the success will be well worth the extra time.
