Cultural Dark Academia

Cultural Dark Academia

After my last post about the lack of representation in academia, I felt it neccessary to provide some examples of what I’m talking about. Obviously there are more countries in the world than I can list and provide books for, so for a quick list this is what I got. !! Keep researching !! If you have any more books by POC please reply them !! If a country isn’t listed, that doesn’t mean it’s not important, this is just what I could get together real quick. If I made any mistakes, please let me know, we’re all learning. We need to help each other end eurocentrism in academia, so value representation and educate yourselves 💓💓💓

Hey all! I just created this new studyblr for my international business and language studies! I already have been lurking in the community, but recently i felt motivated to make my own blog. So let me talk a bit about

- me -

i’m Lilla (she/her) a 20 year old Capricorn from hungary

i’m a hoe for the cottagecore + dark academia aesthetic

i am a grandma at heart so i love to knit, crochet and make a lot of baked good for my loved ones :)

i love nature and wandering in the wilderness aimlessly (or in the local park at least)

serious book- and plantaholic

also a proud mom of my cat-son, Aramis. Be prepared to see tons of images of himb

i love philosophy, especially stoicism

- academics -

i’m second year international business uni student, and aspiring to be a project manager

i take my classes completely online this year, and work full time at a bank as an intern (so yeah, this year will be kind of hectic)

besides these i love to work on my french and programming skills

and in the future i would love to learn russian

Thank you for your attention, and special thanks to the marvelous studyblrs that inspired me to start my own:

@sonderstudy @coffeeandpies @sosiaalitieteet @clabujo @eunoiamaybe @kleinbluu @emmastudies @spell-studies @frogstudies @akadanie @diaryofastemstudent @phoebe-does @elkstudies 

btw i wanted to add a banner to make it more ✨aesthetic✨, but tumblr messed up the quality real bad, so if anyone has any tips how to prevent that, i’m all ears 💕

sending my love and support to everyone currently impacted by the adhd medication shortage.

please know that you are allowed to need extra support if you're struggling without meds

and that there's nothing wrong with you for finding them helpful.

not being able to function in certain ways without them doesn't make you any less worthy of anything.

you are trying your best with what you have, please be kind to yourself and allow yourself to be proud of your achievements, even if they're different to how they would be with meds.

if you're used to doing things with your meds, having to spend time adjusting to not having them is difficult, there's nothing wrong with you for finding that.

I hope you know that you are not alone and can be proud of yourself for how you've managed so far <3

Day 71/100 Days Of Productivity ☕️🌙

Day 71/100 days of productivity ☕️🌙

Today went well! I met up with my friend at the park and I had a really great time. I also tidied my room, worked out and overall had a really productive day. So far I’ve stuck with my new bullet journal and I’m super proud of it, even if it is quite a simple design. ☺️💫

17th July - What is the most important task that you need to complete this summer?

I think it’ll be preparing for sixth form! Normally we’d have had an introductory week at the end of term but due to corona we’ve been left to ourselves aha, so this summer I’ll be getting everything ready and double checking I have everything I need! ☺️💫
