So I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.

Just want to open my own coffee shop/second hand bookstore.
actually I'm still thinking about it and I do absolutely love how annabeth; the daughter of athena, someone a reader may expect be so logical, strategic, and detached is instead written as someone so openly emotional, so openly affectionate, and has some of the strongest idealistic beliefs of love in the series
''oh so this is what it was all about''
Watching a new sitcom is just “oh so that’s where that meme comes from”
the psychology students
as requested by @hugefrogkai
textbooks stacked on your desk in neat piles, sticky notes marking the passages you have to memorize
warm tea with honey on cold mornings
studying the work of those who have gone before, wanting to make your own discoveries
basement laboratories, bright with the glow of fluorescent lights
antique sketches of the brain stuck to your walls
wanting to help people, chasing the greater good
strong opinions on your favorite and least favorite famous psychologists
learning the psychology of memory and using it to study more efficiently
soft hair clipped up out of your face
clean morning light through your window
studying in a cafe, enjoying the sounds of people living their lives all around you
a need to understand human behavior
tortoiseshell glasses and silver earrings
knowing meyers-briggs isn’t scientifically valid but making your friends take it anyway
neat handwriting, black pen on crisp white paper
keeping your favorite research papers on your desk, annotated with your thoughts in the margins
adhering to a firm code of ethics
long hallways and big lecture classes
cold objectivity tempered by a keen sense of empathy
Me every fucking inappropriate time.
