She’s a 10 but she lives off of academic validation while simultaneously procrastinating like she’s been promised immortality

If all my pictures look the same, it is because my days aren't exciting; which is good. I like calm.
Today, I started reviewing a topic and realized I learned everything wrong and then spent the whole day trying to understand 0s and 1s
I hope you're getting to understand your classes, stranger.

one of the biggest things I can advocate for (in academia, but also just in life) is to build credibility with yourself. It’s easy to fall into the habit of thinking of yourself as someone who does things last minute or who struggles to start tasks. people will tell you that you just need to build different habits, but I know for me at least the idea of ‘habit’ is sort of abstract and dehumanizing. Credibility is more like ‘I’ve done this before, so I know I can do it, and more importantly I trust myself to do it’. you set an assignment goal for the day and you meet it, and then you feel stronger setting one the next day. You establish a relationship with yourself that’s built on confidence and trust. That in turn starts to erode the barrier of insecurity and perfectionism and makes it easier to start and finish tasks. reframing the narrative as a process of building credibility makes it easier to celebrate each step and recognize how strong your relationship with yourself can become

I’m trying to romanticize my life a little more each day.
The Garden of Fine Art was gorgeous
We finally had a nice, warm spring day so I had to go out and enjoy it
The admission was only ¥100, and surprisingly not many people were there. It was the perfect place to relax, take photos, and get in a few chapters of Love, Theoretically
It was a slow Saturday. One of the best kinds of days
Gallery: Garden of Fine Art

Again, a little throwback post
I went to Seoul in December. It started to snow really hard on the last day I was there and my flight got delayed for hours. So I was able to get coffee from %Arabica across the street at the Coex Mall, then stay warm under the covers at my hotel before I had to leave for the airport
And of course, I had to get the Kyoto Latte ☕️ 10/10, highly recommend

I love STEM romance so mf much. As someone who studied STEM I really enjoy watching/reading STEM media for the general audience, in both what I studied in higher education and topics I have 0 background in.
Theoretical Physics? So mf interesting, but I could not for the life of me do any of the math for that.
Statistics & Mathematics? Very important applications in all things, but again could not do that if my life were on the line.
Biological Sciences? My personal cup of tea (absolutely adore genetics & biochemistry)
Artificial Intelligence? Honestly, imho it’s absolutely terrifying and I don’t find joy in it of itself (especially bc I have no desire to learn to code and know the bare minimum to get by using my computer), but I still can’t deny it’s an absolutely fascinating technology and field of study.
Chemistry? My original true love. She is the IT girl of STEM and you can’t convince me otherwise.
I could go on and on. But STEM is truly so interesting, pioneering, and diverse; and while there are plenty of negatives (academia can be toxic, cut throat, discouraging, and at times so damn hard) STEM is so damn incredible at the end of the day.
So for me, when you’re in the thick of studying these fields it can feel so frustrating it feels like your simultaneously pulling your hair out and having you fingernails yanked from their nail beds, something about translating them into stories like these, in a way that’s respectful to the material and the people that are within these fields, is so refreshing and brings such a special joy.
Books like The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood and The Soulmate Equations are amazing personal examples of this. I just finished Ali’s new book Love Theoretically and absolutely ADORED it. This one I had the least amount of scientific background knowledge about (as I’ve already said, I think theoretical physics is so mf cool and if I were more of a math whiz and brain for it, I definitely would studied that too) I still thoroughly enjoyed the book. I loved the characters as individuals, but I also loved how familiar academia comes across to me in the book.
(It also 100000% helps when you have authors that are in the field themselves like Ali Hazelwood, bc they have an inherent and personal knowledge of what it’s like to be a women in STEM and how to translate that across paper)

Back in February, I went to Sapporo with my friends to see the Snow Festival. On the first day we were there, my friend and I went for coffee and stumbled across this place
It’s down the street from the TV Tower in Odori; 2 stops on the train. We’d have walked if it wasn’t so cold

This bookstore has three levels. The basement is dedicated to used books, and while I love the vibe of the entire store the basement is something special
Each book holds a little bit of the emotions of its previous readers. The laughter, the heartbreak, the surprise, the anger. They hold a little bit of the love and hatred from it’s previous owners. That’s something I love about used books
Plus, there is a coffee shop right across the road AND dogs are allowed

Quick throwback to the last few weeks of my MBA last spring
Brew and Blendz doesn’t taste very good, but as the only coffee shop in the vicinity of the Business building, it had to do
