Oh To Be Reading A Book In Oxford Again.

Hello everyone! Have a nice day and study sessions ♡ i woke up at 4 am today to study and it is 12.45 pm rn i have still works to do..

Hi!

I wanted to ask you, how are you always so productive.. I am in slump rn ..tips?

hi hana! ☺️ dw, i gotchu~ 💛

3 things to remember to get out of a slump ⛅🌼

🔁 external accountability gains momentum 🔁

full disclosure, i'm actually a very lazy person 🦥

when i started this blog last year, all i wanted to do was sleep and watch my emotional support kpop boys, and i knew i needed a change, so i started posting my daily accomplishments for accountability and motivation.

as kim seokjin says, “if your left hand does something good, your whole body should know about it so that you'll want to do it again!”

🍊 find your own path and a strong support system will find you 🍊

as a lazy person motivated by kpop, i needed to meet myself where i was at.

i did try normal studyblr / productivity challenges, which were really fun on their own, but after a while, i felt i needed an added spark, so i started doing my own silly kpop-inspired challenges!

although i was quite nervous about posting it since i thought people might look down on or make fun of me, my moots and followers were super supportive, so that was a big motivating factor as well 🥺

also, i'm a big believer in “do it scared.” you might not feel ready, you may never be ready, but never let perfect be the enemy of great. if you can turn your nerves into excitement, then you can go so much farther and longer!

🧡 it's okay to slow down or even stop, just never give up 🧡

actually, i think i'm also approaching that time again when i need to take a break. i've been working hard for over a quarter now, and i've even gotten myself really sick because of it. as someone who is in a constant battle with my laziness, i sometimes end up swinging to the other extreme.

i got this question about toxic productivity before that made me reflect more deeply on what it means for me. all these months later, i still need to remind myself to take care and that there's a difference between striving towards fulfilling dreams and churning out meaningless work.

💌: hope these help you! i always worry i project too much whenever i try to give advice, so please definitely just let me know if there's anything i'm misunderstanding 😅

Relaxing at a cute cafe while it’s pouring rain outside😭 Also managed to finish proofreading my last term paper!!! 🤍🫶🏻⛈️✨

Posting again on YouTube with a chaotic vlog of when I went to London ☕️✨

My favorite sci-fi thing I've ever thought of is something I'd like to call Humans Are Space Ants. Basically, humans enter the larger universe and find that all other intelligent life are practically gods. The thing is, though, humanity's exploitation of physics has gotten so out of hand that they are on equal footing.

Important to remember, the aliens are far, far beyond us. Their understanding of the universe is much deeper, their power is far greater, but we just fuck around with existence harder than any other being has the lack of sense to. And it has had extremely potent results.

Although humanity's standing up to a civilization of a billion literal Cthulus, they're winning. They will eventually codify eldritch knowledge in a way they can understand.

Imagine if ants developed music partly on accident by just doing math about it. You would be so confused as to how they even did that. But they did. And then the next time you go out into your yard you hear the objective single best piece of music you have ever heard, and it's about the ants asking you to stop poisoning their nests before they teleport into your brain and kill you. And they figured out how to teleport using the music. Somehow. Even ignoring the fact they can teleport with music, how could they have composed the greatest song to ever be? they don't even fullly get it!

Basically, eldritch gods watching humanity's bullshit with confounded outrage. I should probably write about this at some point, it seems pretty damn funny/cool
