some of you haven’t been so wrecked by a book that it’s all you can think about for days and days and your book hangover feels unending and it shows

I really hope Jane Austen knows that it’s 2018 and Elizabeth Bennett is still That Bitch™️ to all of us young ladies like shout-out to my homegirl thanks for writing her

celebrate your accomplishments. even if they don’t seem much, you made something good happen.

didn’t get an A even if you studied the whole night? well, you got a B, so celebrate that. don’t forget to be happy for your accomplishments. you’ve worked hard for it and you should be proud of yourself.

as a studyblr with high grades I feel the need to put it out there, I’ve never pulled an all-nighter. Yes I’ve stayed up late in an effort to get assessment done but never past 11:30pm. I can count on one hand the times I’ve sacrificed my sleep and long term health for school. As a studyblr with sleep apnea and anxiety, to me it is not worth pulling all-nighters. Instead use your time effectively. Start assignments straight away and aim to have them finished two days before the due date and just going over and editing until it’s due. The key to never having to sacrifice sleep is good planning and following through. Maybe it’s that you should stay at school for an extra hour or two to get work done, or maybe it’s that you need to wake up super early to work before school. Whatever it is, figure it out and carry through. Please don’t glorify bad sleeping habits, it hurts you more than you could know.

This is so true and important!

Don’t give me one-sided unrequited love, give me two-sided unwanted love. Both sides are deeply in love with the other and both sides are like ‘fuck, really?? them??? really?’

if anyone needs a condensed summary of what pride and prejudice is about this is pretty much it

who was the fool who was tasked with naming the galaxy and the only adjective they could think of was ‘mmmmmmmmmmmmilky…’

scientist: (gazing up at space)  scientist: ……….. it sure is a milky boy 

NO

YOU DONT UNDERSTAND

ASTRONOMERS ARE THE SHITTIEST EVER AT NAMING THINGS I KID YOU NOT.

When it came time to name the two theoretical particle types that might be dark matter THEY INTENTIONALLY CHOSE THE NAMES SO THAT THE ACRONYMS WOULD SPELL “WIMPS” AND “MACHOS” I SHIT YOU NOT

THEY ARE FUCKING TERRIBLE AT NAMING ANYTHING

I just listened to a talk by Neil deGrasse Tyson himself LAST NIGHT and he went on about this more than once.

“I’m walking down the street and I’m like ‘ooh pretty rock…’ and some Geologist is like ‘actually, that’s anorthosite feldspar’ and I’m like ‘Nevermind, I don’t want it anymore.’ Any biologists in the audience? [some clapping] Yeah, you know what I’m talking about. The most important molecule in the human body, what did you name it? It has NINE SYLLABLES and it’s so long that even YOU GUYS abbreviate it as ‘DNA’!

But astrophysicists and astronomers? No, man, we call it like we see it. Star made of neutrons? NEUTRON STAR. Small white star? WHITE DWARF. You know that big red spot on Jupiter? Know what we called it? JUPITER’S RED SPOT.”

okay i’m glad you mentioned the biologist nonsense bc their naming methods are the bane of my existence

I see your astrophysicists-are-shit-at-names and raise you Marine-Biologists-Are-Fucking-Maniacs.

See this beautiful creature?

It’s a carnivorous deep-sea sponge that lives off of Easter Island and never sees the light of day, as it’s about 9000 feet down. Those delicate-looking orbs are covered in millions of tiny hooked spines, which latch onto anything unfortunate enough to bump into it, and hold it in place as it is digested alive by the sponge’s skin.  Amazing, beautiful and profoundly creepy.  They could have given it so many cool names.  Could have drawn on mythology (I think Scylla would have been an appropriate reference), the region it was found in, the textured skin, PHAGOCYTOSIS, anything!  

You wanna know what they called it?

PING-PONG TREE SPONGE.

Good job, marine biologists.

BIG NEWS

if your eyes start hurting what you’ve got to do is lay down and close them for a while…. now that’s a sexy little manoeuvre that we in the medical field like to call “sleep”
