Full Thrust "Goldilocks"

!!Important!!

there’s such an unhealthy stigma, especially in academic communities, surrounding taking time off or dropping out. putting education above your health and well-being isn’t okay and should not be the standard. obviously there are positives to school/college/uni, but the environment created by the education system can be so horrifically damaging in so many ways, and demonising stepping away from or leaving it only makes it worse. as much as education is important, your health and well-being are infinitely more so. 

it is okay to take breaks. it’s okay to take a year off. it’s okay to leave if that’s what you need to do. dropping out does not make you stupid, nor does it make you a failure. take care of yourself first and foremost. traditional education is not the only way to learn.

I always think that squids are like little spaceships

A Caribbean reef squid spotted during a night dive in the Bahamas. Their large eyes make them effective nocturnal predators, and their intelligence makes them highly inquisitive, as with other cephs!
