that comment about how you should not borrow grief from the future has saved me multiple times from spiraling into an inescapable state of anxiety. like every time i find myself thinking about how something in the future could go wrong i remember that comment and i think to myself: well i never know, it might get better. it might not even happen the way i think it will and if it does happen and it is sad and bad ill be sad about it then, when it happens. and it’s somehow soo freeing

Never be embarrassed by your failures, by your mistakes. Learn from them. Try, fail, learn. Try again, fail again, learn. Repeat.

learning who you are in college is time consuming

So measuring my worth by my academic success is bad and all but do I even deserve to live if I get a grade below 70% from something?

a winter studying aesthetic

warming your hands on a mug of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate

settling in to study under a pile of blankets

short days, waking for your first class while it’s still dark

your favorite sweater, worn and wearing thin 

walking from one class to the next, face shielded from the wind by a hand-knitted scarf

writing even as your fingers grow stiff with cold

a glow of warm, flickering candlelight

getting distracted by snow falling just outside your window

working diligently, pushing through to the end of the semester

deep, calming breaths before a big test that turn to fog in the frigid air

a glimpse of the sun, low on the horizon

long novels piled on your bedside table

taking a study break to have a snowball fight with your friends
