Can we talk about how the idea that STEM and the humanities are mortal enemies with no overlap is actually incredibly harmful and is not only preventing people from pursuing their passions but also part of the reason why the humanities aren’t given their proper respect? No, artists are not all snobby pretentious assholes who think they’re more cultured than everyone else and no scientists are not all emotionless robots who think they’re smarter than everyone else and it’s possible to be an artist and a scientist at the same time. By acting like you have to choose between STEM and humanities we are eliminating thousands of potential careers and causing unnecessary divisions in a time where nothing is more crucial than unity. I’m so tired of people acting like STEM majors are incapable of understanding art and humanities majors are incapable of understanding math when the two fields are crucial to one another. Who would design our architecture if it weren’t for artful engineers? Who would discover the rules of composition? At the end of the day we are all just people trying to learn and make a living, and all of these careers are important to humanity. People can’t say that STEM is more important than humanities if there’s no such thing as STEM vs humanities.

Hello again lovelies! Life's been too busy to make posts about my days, but rest assured I've kept myself productive and busy with school and work and life in general! I actually had down time this week which was pretty cool, as I usually don't ever have time to rest without guilt lately. But, today's a new day, I don't have work scheduled today, so I'm going to do a bunch of school work and a few household chores today too.

Should definitely be a good day today. I might go and get a smiley piercing today, I'm unsure if I really am or not yet. And I need to plan my next tattoo since I recently got some extra money, and I've been craving some new ink. Lots of stuff, lots of stuff!

Daily Check-in: April 14, 2024 🎀
Hello lovelies! Life is looking better again, but omg was Wednesday thru Saturday morning rough for me. Even last night I was crying my eyes out, but things got better today so I am happy. I want to make a small announcement about the future of my blog: I am changing the theme!! I will still be keeping the pinterest-image, pink, girly aesthetic for my more general posts (lists, routines, etc) but for my daily check ins, I will be using photos I take myself (anonymous surroundings, notes, food/drinks, etc) and colors and emojis that compliment the photos! I have been wanting to change the vibe a bit lately to make it more me, more personal, and I think now is the time to do so! I'm excited to start taking my own photos now, that'll be so fun!!
🩷 What I Accomplished:
washed my sheets, towels, blankets, and comforter
washed and put away all laundry
cleaned the bathroom
packed shoes to ship from my depop shop
cooked chicken fettuccine alfredo from scratch (I made the sauce myself too! it was heavy on the parm and some pieces of chicken were salty, but it was so yummy and rich in flavor!)
planned out some of my week
packed my gym bag for tomorrow (I'm gonna start working out again, I'm nervous)
did my guided journal and morning journal
read 3 chapters of The Untethered Soul (interesting so far, going to keep reading to see how I enjoy it)
wrote out my brain dump for the week
reflected on the week + updated with my accountability buddies
bought groceries (time to make smoothies for breaky this week) and toiletries
🩷 Good Things That Happened:
my pasta was super yummy
had a long phone call with my dad (it was a good talk!)
finally read a physical book and not on my ipad
had such a nice, long shower early this morning
confidently planned goals for the week
my psyc assignment got extended til Wednesday for the whole class
found a recipe for avocado protein smoothie (excited to try it)
🩷 Stuff For Tomorrow
make a breakfast smoothie
gym cardio workout
need to ship shoes I sold
need to complete my homework
studying Spanish (have an italki lesson on April 22nd!!)
read some more
studying chemistry in preparation for my finals
No "what needs to go better" for me today, because today was a really good day. I'm feeling better and life itself is working out the way I knew it would. I just gotta trust in the universe more.
til next time, lovelies 🩷
Assembly language, various coding languages, and compilers were also invented by women!
Coding was also female-dominated in the start because men thought it wasn't worth much so they let women work on it. Oh... how wrong they were lmao
"women didn't invent anything"
i know i don't talk about my degree a lot on here but i'm pursuing a dual degree in both history and biology because i have a lot of passion for both arts and sciences and i just found out that there's a women in STEAM conference happening that literally perfectly encapsulates all of what i am academically passionate about.
i'm applying for a volunteer position guys wish me luck i really want to be there 🥺 for so long i felt like being interested in both science and arts meant there wasn't really a place for me to be able to authentically speak on all of my academic interests and this is just such an amazing opportunity<3 so yeah wish me luck!!!:)
FUCK I SHOULD'VE SAID EXHIBIT BEE I'M NOT FIT TO BE A BIOLOGY STUDENT
love when academic articles are a little silly and goofy. like yes that IS a bee. dumb fuck. lets label him so everybody can point and laugh.

i didn’t know people were out here using chatgpt to have faux-intellectual conversations but everyone note that generative AI have, most of the time, access to literally anything and everything that is posted online.
as in, right or wrong, it takes that information to answer your prompt. that’s chatgpt and literally any other open AI. as it’s not a human being, it can’t reliably determine if a source is a good one. it also cannot always interpret a source correctly. additionally, they rely on humans to code and train the models. thus we still have human error involved.
AI is a tool, certainly, but people need to understand that they are a tool, not a replacement for human intelligence. it is supplemental. ask AI for ideas for your paper, do not ask it to write it. ask AI how to solve a problem in general (and know it’s likely going to tell you wrong, depending on difficulty), don’t give it your problem and take its word for it. if you ask for a topic/article summary, go back and check it if something seems important or if you’d like to know more.
please don’t be a chump and make yourself look like a fool that can’t formulate thoughts 💕 AI will not “take over” humanity, but people using it incorrectly can/will have widespread, broadly encompassing negative effects on society.
Heya!!
Today I revised all the topics I covered in Analysis 1 so far and did chapter 8 and 9.
Chapter 8 is about the algebra of limits.In there I learnt how to write proofs using ε-N method.There were quite a number of cases (with examples!).Most of them were good and could be deduced easily from previous theorems and axioms but I did find 4 proofs a little challenging.I have noted them down and I’ll be discussing those with my prof soon.
Chapter 9 was about monotonic sequences.In there I learnt about the monotonic sequence theorem and the proof of this theorem is very cute.This theorem's proof is very intresting because it connects to the theorem where square root of 2 is proved as irrational but it is more general.So it patches all the gaps on the real number line quit nicely.There were some examples too which I liked and I also learnt the steps of proving a theorem when monotonicity is involved.
It was a pretty cool day.
I hope you had a good day too^_^

Heya ^^
The past few weeks have been stressful to say the least.My college is rushing the current semester and so a lot of info is coming in a very short period of time.Im also preparing for competitive exams so that's a little more stressey.
On the bright side I got my first dose of vaccine yesterday and I was sick today.Im feeling much better now though.
I'll update you guys with my plans tomorrow and I have also found some good maths problem sets with solutions.(Manly university math courses).I'll share them soon.
Now gotta go sleep.
I hope you are having a nice day ^^ <3

I have my midterm exams going on. Today I had physics. It did go well. I am just unsure about one numerical problem 😅. Tomorrow I have an organic chemistry test. I am kinda prepared and hope it goes well too ^^. I did find some time for my group theory though🤭Aesthetic background and music with Group Theory felt like a bliss🌿
The video I was listening to was
I hope you are having a wonderful day ^^<3

Can I please disappear somewhere ?
Group theory is getting to me.Its like I know the theory but I need to apply and apply and apply and apply it till it clicks.I don't mind it but damn it's too much.I have given it a dead line of May 30 and I don't think I can complete it by then so maybe I have to extend my deadline which I don't like but yeah thats life and my brain will be happy with decision also I guess.So sorry for the rant and I hope today treated you so so well.
Apart from going insane with Group Theory I did some other stuff as well
Revised Stats
Revised chem and completed session 8-10 PowerPoint slides
Duolingo
But on a positive note my day did have some ups.I spoke with my boyfriend for like an hour and that literally was the best part of the day.2 of my friends had also video called me so I had a nice time there too.I did some cooking today for my mum and dad and they seemed to like it🤭
At the end of the day I am thankful that my blessings are greater than my problems💞

👋 Hello
It's around 10 pm and I'm not yet sure If I want to sleep in early or just chill around with my phone a little longer .Today I completed the following tasks
Revised Group Theory
Revised stats for 15 minutes
Revised chemistry for minutes
Studied Bayers Strain Theory in chemistry
Complete 10 problems from group theory
Little bit of Duolingo (I'm learning French)
I also submitted my chemistry assignment today
I'm quite happy with how today turned out.In the afternoon I was thinking that I can't get it all done but some I managed so a little proud of myself today.
Tomorrow I'll be starting the Schaum's series for Abstract algebra.I'll not be doing it entirely now.I will just be focusing on the group theory part that is the first 10 chapters.I'm planning on doing 1 chapter a day for the next 10 days.If anyone wants to join me in solving the Schaum's series please let me know, we can do it together and keep each other accountable and help if doubts arise.It'll be just for 10 days so a very short period of time.
That is all that is there in my study part of my life right now.
I hope today treated you well as well😊If not, there is always a tomorrow🐣
Good Night 🌟

Heya, I hope today treated you well 💛
It's almost 10 pm here and I'm getting ready to go to bed.My day didn't really start well.I was panicking for my coming exams lol but it got better after my classes started at 9.The schedule was very hectic today and I was almost out of energy by 3 when the classes finally got over.I had my lunch and practised my French lessons on duolingo.Later in the evening my boyfriend sent me this beautiful video named as Slow life in French countryside and I loved every bit of It😇.Here is the link if anyone wants to watch it.
Later in the evening after having some fruits for snacks I studied the following stuff
Chemistry half a chapter
Group Theory (Quaternions and Matrix Groups)
10 problems on group theory
I also sat and decorated by bujo planner and planned out my next maths course, Linear algebra.
The day started out on a not so high note but it did end well.
Just hoping that everything works out well in the end.I wish the same to you too as well ♡

Heya👋
It is currently 8.50 in the morning and I'm getting ready for a class at 9. I just finished some lessons on Duolingo. I kinda get into a competitive mood when I see my rank on the leaderboard and want to come at the top but I have to remind myself that I have other things to study too. So anyways today I'll be doing the following stuff
1 lesson of organic chemistry (It might take 30 minutes or less)
20 Problems on Group theory (This might take an hour)
Conjugacy classes in Sn and An (This might also take an hour)
I'm trying to work today in the afternoon because I don't want to work in the evening today. I have some catching up to do with my school friends. I haven't spoken to them in some time. I also want to make it a habit to work a little in the afternoon because distractions are so less.
I hope the day treats you well.If It doesn't always know that you are much much more than a bad day.
Have a Happy Day!!

5.24- Saturday
Took a small break from school for the past three days and jumped back in this morning with some readings on argument credibility and fallacies. I’m really enjoying this critical thinking class. It’s a very nice break from discrete math.

Reading: financial feminist by Tori Dunlap
5.13.25 - rant and exam update
i'm currently going insane. i failed my discrete math assessment by this much 👌🏻 last week and i'm knee deep in prep to retake it this week. the problem is i need my apartment to be completely free of any humans besides me and my boyfriend is coming over thursday night because we're flying out super early friday morning to go to a wedding.
basically, i have today to get all of my retake requirements done so i can attempt to take the exam tomorrow or kick the boyfriend out thursday night for a couple hours so i can get a proctor slot. my course end date is saturday and i've extended this end date three times since the start of the semester and i just want to be done with this classsssss. self-studying a subject you are not naturally good at is another type of hell.
on a good note, went to the gym consistently this weekend and went on a very nice walk by the river (pictured above).
will update on monday if i'm still alive or not on a pysch hold from stress :)
4.21.25
Today went a little bit better than it has been lately. I managed to lock in over the weekend and finish quite a bit of problem sets for discrete math. Final exam this week 🤌
Somehow April has managed to go so slowly and fast at the same time. Time to lock in for finals.
