Love this man.

This is some powerful-ass life advice.

This is for all the studyblrs....

Who’re the first in their family to go to college. Whose parents didn’t go to college. Who aren’t upper class/ upper middle class. Who don’t own anything Muji. Who don’t have any staedtler or midliner pens. Who couldn’t care less about getting into an Ivy League. Who have less than stellar extracurriculars (or none at all). Who don’t have a really nice IKEA desk. Who’re people of color. Who don’t have a great/stable home life. Who don’t get hundreds or thousands of reblogs. Who don’t have a Mac laptop (or any laptop). Who aren’t in five or six AP classes (or any AP classes). Who have average handwriting (or “bad” handwriting). Who’re starting off at community college. Who have average SAT scores and can’t afford (or don’t want) SAT prep. Who don’t have fancy graphic notes with six million colors. Who don’t use mind maps. Who don’t use 10 million sticky tabs while annotating ( I have an opinion on that but I’m not going to state it here ). Who don’t have an academic support system outside of Tumblr. Who would rather turn up on a Friday night than rewrite notes. Who aren’t majoring in STEM. Who don’t use a bullet journal. Who have a mental illness (or mental illnesses).

I see you, we still in this ish, finna get crunk. 💁🏽 You’re all doing phenomenal, and I believe in you. If you do have these things (Muji, Mac laptop, etc.), that’s great, I hope they help you with your studying. HOWEVER, just because you buy these things, that doesn’t make you a better studyblr than others. The absence of some of these things doesn’t equate to an absence of intelligence or dedication. 💖📚💝📝💘 Much love, Gabbie ((study-sugar))

This is nice to read

my life is currently a series of snapshots featuring books & coffee

Blasting the Hamilton soundtrack whilst tackling a mountain of housework. Time to get my shit together and pull out of this low swing. 💪

4-25 new sheets call for work in bed…my puppies wanted to make an appearance too (can you spot the mysterious hiding one?)

Cal Newport, in an interview with Zachary Sexton for Asian Efficiency

A poignant statement to make in a society that seems to put hard work on such a high pedestal. At some point, you have to make a distinction between the feeling of working hard and actually getting things done, being productive. All the hard work in the world will get you nowhere if you can’t produce something of value out of it.

I came to this realisation last year and it really opened my eyes. It was something along the lines of “The world only cares about what it can get from you”

Sunday. 1 May 2016. 10:18am. Sitting in Starbucks. Watching cars pass by in the rain. Drinking a venti vanilla iced coffee that is disappearing too soon. Mourning the lack of academic focus this year. Regretting procrastination. Taking notes like my life (also known as the AP biology exam) depends on it.
