Motivation For School 💌

The 20's are upon us, so let's bring back going to university in suits, smoking in cafés while discussing academia, wearing bold red lipstick everyday and getting absolutely drunk on weekends while listening to jazz

the history students

hanging photos of ancient monuments on your walls

memorizing dates, creating a timeline in your mind’s eye

slow violin music

browsing wikipedia late at night

learning the constellations and wondering how many people have looked at them before you

crumbling buildings and faded paper

adding detail in the margins of your textbooks for the stuff they left out

soft sweaters and messy hair

pages of notes, written and underlined and studied again and again

watching documentaries for fun

analyzing primary sources, picking apart biases from fact

a cup of herbal tea on the desk, keeping you grounded

a hunger to understand all that has gone before you

sunsets that turn the sky the golden color of aged parchment

collecting biographies of your favorite historical figures, piling them on your shelf

treasured family heirlooms

notes written in fountain pen, hands stained with ink

visiting the same museum exhibits over and over, knowing there’s always more to learn

studying by candlelight

thick textbooks spread out across your desk

treating history as a cautionary tale, turning pages of notes into lessons for the future

hogwarts: bloody noses, always trying their best, warm sunsets, late summer nights, sharing secrets, messy hair, movie nights, stargazing, wanting to explore the world, standing up for friends, dogs, loud laughs, fuzzy sweaters

narnia: pale white snow, red cheeks, hot tea, fantasy stories, neat notes, big scarves, early morning walks, soft smiles, cute coffee shops, calming energy, cold hands, friendly eyes, wanting to learn more, astronomy geeks

middle earth: ancient souls, coffee, old bookshelves, history nerds, loves mythology, feels at home in the forest, always up for an adventure, oversized hoodies, high grades, striving to be the best version of themselves, cats

neverland: believes in fate, doesn’t care about opinions, flower fields, standing up for what’s right, honey, photography, amazed by the universe, kind souls, often lost in their own thoughts, friendliness, loves the stars, artistic

the overwhelming urge to know latin, french, italian, greek, and russian is consuming me

wdym you dont get emotionally attached to a random exoplanet you read about?

january eighth: good lighting makes bar studying and thesis writing much better (not pictured: homemade chai latte and butternut squash chai snickerdoodles)

lorde really wrote an album about being the kid that stayed home when people went out and had to keep a reputation of being nice and modest and polite but secretly wanting to go crazy and dance wildly and go running and bounding and sobbing but feeling as though your whole life hinges on other people giving you the opportunity to do it and so you feel as though you’re wasting your youth
