…People…believe they’ll be happy if they go and live somewhere else, but…learn it doesn’t work that way. Wherever you go, you take yourself with you. If you see what I mean.
Neil Gaiman, The Graveyard Book
(via wordsnquotes)
The Buddhists say if you meet somebody and your heart pounds, your hands shake, your knees go weak, that’s not the one. When you meet your ‘soul mate’ you’ll feel calm. No anxiety, no agitation.
grades are everything wrong with the academic system, people should be focused on understanding the material they’re working with, not on getting good grades.
you can get good grades and not understand a lick of the material just because you had good attendance or some shit, and you can get bad grades and absolutely understand whats going on with the material but if you missed class you could get a poor grade.
fuck awful. fucking broken. and grades are the literal deciding factor in if you’ll be able to move on with your academic pursuits, assuming you need say… your ph.d paid for or something stg.
