A small sampling of the images you will find on David Pinto’s tumblr. In his words, he is not a photographer, just a dreamer. This photoset focuses on photographs his home city: Rome, one of the most architecturally significant cities in history.

stupid leftists and their belief in *checks notes* the intrinsic value of human life

“Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal. ‘A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts’, Mead said. We are at our best when we serve others. Be civilized.”

WHAT’S IN MY BACKPACK: SOPHOMORE YEAR OF COLLEGE EDITION

Last time I did a What’s In My Backpack I was a senior in high school. Time for an update! 

Since starting college, I’ve learned to really skim down the things I carry with me, since I do a lot of walking every day (usually around 45min). I pack only the necessary school supplies, and keep a lot of stuff on my laptop so that I can carry less paper. However, things to get through the day/deal with emergencies are always necessary. **All links are Amazon Affiliate links, but all products are things I use and love (obviously, since they’re in my backpack!)**

My backpack is the North Face Women’s Borealis (newer version). It offers great support and has a ton of little pockets, which I love. Patch sewn on by me :)

Details under the cut!

New Year’s resolution ideas for students

Finish all your schoolwork by 11 pm each day

Limit yourself to one cup of coffee a day

Get at least a B in all of your classes (or set goals for individual classes)

Stretch for 10 minutes before bed

Read a book each month for leisure

Get at least 7 hours of sleep every night

Spend less than two hours on social media a day (or some other time limit, depending on where you are now!)

Journal every day

Leave for class 5 minutes earlier than you need to

Listen to podcasts or watch documentaries instead of binging Netflix or watching YouTube

Get at least 1 hour of exercise a week

Only spend money on things you really need (not just things you want)

Finish papers at least a day in advance

Spend 30 minutes a day on self care

Wake up an hour earlier than you currently do every day

What are some of your resolutions (if you have any)? x

Let’s face it- even the most motivated and disciplined students can’t study for a couple of hours straight- we all need to rest. Taking a break  from studying every now and then will improve your focus and attention. Below are some of our ideas what to do during study breaks. We divided them into categories depending on the length of  your break. Feel free to try them out to later get back to your books refreshed and motivated!

5-10 minutes

Get some fresh air (either go outside, or simply stand up and go to the nearest window- don’t focus on anything and just breathe)

Leave your room/desk and go for a little walk

Throw yourself a little dance party (Cristina and Meredith did it and trust us, it works- put on some energising music and dace for a song or two)

Stand up and stretch!

10-20 minutes

Make yourself a proper, healthy snack (cut an apple into slices and put peanut butter on every slice or make yourself a healthy smoothie)

Watch a TedTalk on a completely unrelated topic (it will both relax you and still keep your brain working)

Do a little yoga (there are multiple mini-routines on youtube)

Browse the #studyblr tag (or maybe post your own photo with it!)

Take a quick shower (if you have a real study marathon ahead of you, a shower break can be a great way to get energised)

20-40 minutes

Call a friend

Clean your room (sounds pretty boring, but you’ll feel refreshed and super-productive once you’re done- and you won’t have to do this later!)

Take a nap (but really, try not to make it longer than 40 minutes)

Watch ONE episode of Friends (nothing better than a good laugh, right?)

 40-60 minutes

Workout (go for a 30-minute run or find a workout video on youtube- you’ll end up energised and full of endorphins, which will help you to keep going)

Try a new recipe and make yourself dinner for later

Read a chapter of a book you’re currently reading (if you’re not reading any- start a book)
