Well Time For Another Night Of Ugly Crying To Champagne Problems.

what the actual fuck is going on

If you feel like you’ve seen this alread, that’s normal. This list of recommendation has been previously posted on my first account @praestantias which has been deleted for some reasons. So here I am, reposting it. 

Hating how elitist and eurocentric the dark academia community became, I would truly appreciate that you leave some recommendation of book written by people of color, for I noticed that I am guilty of the eurocentric part, but I am really want to educate myself and read more non-white books. 

Thank you for your suggestions!

School Mindset

how to get into the academia mindset and look forward to romanticizing school and studying, while making it more enjoyable

1) Spice up your uniform, by adding jewelry, perfume, hair accessories and keeping your uniform neat and tidy

2) Bring a book to school every day, even if you don’t read it, you can feel like rory gilmore :)

3) Choose your personality for the year, but don’t forget to be yourself at heart. You can be mysterious but also be yourself around the friends you make.

4) Study hard for tests, light a candle when doing so and write by the warm flickering glow.

5) Make a playlist for your journey to and from school, including your favorite music and some of the songs which set you up for the day.

6) Get up a little earlier (unless you are like me and physically can’t get up until you are at least 10 minutes behind schedule) to make sure you can spend time on your hair or makeup if that’s something you enjoy.

7) Try your best to be confident, and be friendly to people around you. At least be approachable as this will help you gain real popularity and not just the fake type.

8) Enjoy every moment and romanticize every detail in your day, from the rain on the windows of your school while you study in chemistry, or laughing with your friends over lunch.

9) Make an effort to switch up your study location, for example in a coffee shop, a park, or a library.

10) Enjoy yourself, because your education experience (although you learn throughout your life) doesn’t last forever. make the most of it while you can, and make memories that stay with you forever.

ps. don’t take yourself too seriously :)

Go after the career YOU want.

Not the career your parents want you to have, not the career that makes the most money, not the career that seems the most practical.

Go after the career you want. Study the craft. Be the best, and watch the money come to you.
