dark academia & school
...a guide for all the dark academics who, even though they feel motivated to study they are still bored. Enjoy♥
mutter rules/ definitions/ formulas under your breath as you walk down the school corridor (or while going to school)
wake up early in the morning on holidays (preferably Christmas or autumn/ winter weekends) and study or review stuff while sipping a hot tea/ chocolate/ coffee
research. Use the internet, a nearby library or the books you own for extra information and use the things you learn on assignments or just to impress your teachers in class
if you are studying a new language (see this post for more info) try to think and speak in it as much as possible
buy a leather notebook and use it as a bullet journal. If you don't like leather (or fake leather), feel free to buy a black or brown one. Plan a lot!
handwriting is dark academia, yes but consider taking your laptop to the nearest coffee shop, putting on headphones and studying with a hot drink next to you! 
lo-fi, lo-fi, lo-fi! Lo-fi beats are so aesthetic, don't have lyrics to distract you and they can also be versions of your favourite songs! Here is my lo-fi playlist on youtube! (also, this is a very nice Korean mixtape by RM from BTS, it’s very relaxing and even if you don’t like BTS or k-pop you should give it a try!)
wear any aesthetic clothes you own and study in your bed/ desk/ wherever you want.
decorate your studying place with lights, polaroids and to-do notes but don't let them distract you!

Ko te mana whaikorero me te korerorero tika nga taha e rua.
e kore e aunoia he maha nga momo rūpahu e tohu ana i nga whenua rereke mai i te roopu kotahi (ko te roopu whakaranu i a raatau ano e whakamahi ana i te roopu kotahi o te iwi ki te ako i nga iwi ki te pakaru i etahi hua me nga taangata) me o raatau kaitoha, he maarama te roopu rūpahu, o nga tangata o roto. Ko enei roopu he tohu no nga tangata mai i te ao, ehara i te tangata tūturu mai i te ao tuuturu, engari kotahi te roopu ki te mahi tinihanga.
Mena kaore koe i te ora i raro i a raatau kaha o nga reo, kaore koe i te aroha ki a koe, kaore koe i te atawhai ki etahi atu, kaore koe i te pai ki a koe ano!
Kia pehea te maamaa,
He aha tatou katoa e noho ai i raro i to ratau reo, he aha tatou katoa i whakapono ai ki o raatau purongo me nga purongo;
hei aha tatou katoa i akiaki ai ki a raatau kupu
ko tetahi ingoa he kaiarahi whakaaro!
Ko te kaiarahi o te whakaaro ki te Ipurangi he mea nui ki nga take a te iwi.Ko te iwi mai i tetahi roopu raupatu i he i tenei, ko ratou ka tino kino ki te whakapohehe me te whakaako i a tatou!
Ko nga raraunga i hangaia e maatau (kaore e iti, engari whakauruhia nga kupu, rerenga korero, tuhinga, toi, pikitia, whakaahua, peita mamati, tuhi, peita, whakaahua, raraunga i roto i te kaari SD, nga raraunga i roto i a maatau waea, raraunga i roto i ta tatou ake papatohu, raraunga i roto i ta tatou ipurangi, me etahi atu)
kia noho tuturutanga o tatou ake, me tarai rawa kia tiakina kia noho, kia tu ake i a tatou ake korero taketake me te ture, me tuku e taatau mana tangata!
Me whakaae tatou ko te whakaaro i whakaawehia i roto i te ipurangi i hangaia e nga rangatira o te whakaaro me nga kaihauturu nui, he pai, he reblog ehara ranei i nga whakaaro tino me nga mea tuatahi e hiahia ana matou ki te whakapuaki i a tatou ano, engari he tinihanga, he tinihanga na te rūpahu e whakamahi ana i nga korero a raatau tahae mai i o maatau taonga tuturu ki te whakapohehe ia matou!
Ko te whatunga o te whakaaro a te iwi i etahi wa ka tu, ka taka noa ranei, ahakoa kei te taraihia, te tukatuka.
Me pehea te whakaoti i enei raru uaua!
Ko te tikanga kia whakaae tuatahi tatou he ngawari ki te whakaaweoho e enei maakahu teka me nga korero rorirori me nga korero kino e whakahuatia ana i a raatau i te ao, i te po i te po i whakamahia ai e ratou ki te huna i nga mea tūturu
I te tuatahi me raru tatou ki nga raru
Ko te ahua mo te mea pono he tino tangata taatau ki te raru,
i etahi wa ka whakaekehia e tatou nga whakaaro mai ia tatou ake me nga whakahe!
He ngoikoretanga tatou!
Ko te whakaeke i enei mea katoa me o taatau ake mana me o taatau ake whakatau me o taatau whakaritenga te tiimatanga i te whakaoti i te raru tūmataiti.

my quick tips for working / studying from home
- get dressed and style your hair as if you're going to school/work - even use the same perfume/ cologne as you normally do  (trick your mind into being motivated)
- plan things out - everything (plan out your week, day, meal, etc. you can make these as specific as you’d like. this will help you stay on top of your work as well as stay healthy, especially if you live alone.)
- make studying/ working the first thing you do each day - best if you can start in the morning (minimize the tendency to procrastinate)
- just start - don’t worry too much about perfecting or finishing anything yet (if you don’t start then there’s nothing for you to perfect or get done. and it will never get done)
- listen to old and simple (aka non-distracting) podcasts, Youtube videos, or café/ chattering white-noise, etc. simply leave them as background noise to create an illusion of being outside your room (bring the presence of people to you. my favorites lately have been slam poems from 2016, Mae Martin’s stages, and Awsten Knight’s crackhead podcasts)
- set timers, for both study sessions and breaks (so that you don't overwork, burn out, or procrastinate. the Pomodoro technique works great here)
- take advantage of the comfort of your own home (light a candle, have crunchy snacks, play loud music, review notes out loud while pacing around, wrap yourself in a blanket burrito, study on your bed if you can focus there like me, etc. basically anything you can't do in a classroom, office, or the library)
- if you miss your friends, call/ text/ facetime them, make a study group chat with them, etc. (that is what technology is for)
- choose recreational activities/ self-care for your breaks instead of going on social media (go on walks, make small art, play an instrument, stretch, take a nap, etc. I usually reach for my guitar, brainstorm writing ideas, or sketch very simple line art.)
- if you want to go on social media, do it during meal times - or the 15 minutes after your meals that you can’t work just yet (it also doesn't make you feel like you’re wasting time)
- study in different rooms for a change of scenery (dining room, living room, the patio, etc. I have an armchair next to the window that I study in whenever I need some sunlight and don’t have to write anything down. however, if you need a designated place to focus on your work, you can also use these alternative spaces as designated “relax” or “creative” place for your breaks)
- use this as an opportunity to take care of yourself (get enough sleep, drink water, exercise, talk to your family, take your meds, be mindful of your mental health, etc.)
Feel free to add your tips. The current situation sure is unpleasant but it is unavoidable. All we can really do now is take care of ourselves, others, and try to make the best out of this.
Good luck to everyone and stay safe! My heart is with you all 💕

my “sort-of-complete” online classes and exams tips
This is a longer-than-usual post with tips for the 3 stages of online classes: focusing during an online class session, reviewing/studying for online classes, and preparing for online exams/ quizzes. So I decided to insert the “Read More” link to (a) not take up too much space on your dash, and (b) feel more confident in adding more tips as time goes on.
These are tips that I’ve compiled from my experience of taking online classes during my last 1.5 years at university. But having all of your courses moved online is so much more complicated. Since I’m currently doing an internship, I have tried my best to produce this post based on the comments of my friends IRL and on Tumblr (hence the “my”). However, I hope it can still be useful for you and many who were all abruptly put in this same situation.
So feel free to share your own tips and experience! I will probably go back to this once in a while to make some changes to it and add your tips. Good luck to everyone who is currently/ about to take online classes. You are almost there! 🍀 I believe in every single one of you!
~  Click away for them tips   ~
💻 DURING ONLINE CLASS SESSIONS:
- try to treat online classes the same as an in-person class, especially time-wise (set a specific time for each class and plan your own class schedule. even better, study for your classes at the same time they used to be held. this will create a sense of routine and trigger the brain's normal reactions to your usual class - which is to study)
- don’t be afraid to fix your plan/ schedule (aka don’t force yourself into one if it doesn’t work for you) (trials and errors, my friend. this applies to plans too. there’s no shame in not being able to keep up with the schedule you’ve made. if you’ve tried or if it hurts you mentally or physically, then that schedule is just not the one for you. everybody has their unique strengths and weaknesses. one’s perfect system might not suit another. finding a system that works for you takes time, patience, and courage. but it will be absolutely worth it)
- find a good spot with enough light and stable wifi (if you have multiple options, select the one that would make you most comfortable, most focused, and confident enough to take online tests/quizzes/exams at - create your “exam space” in advance to reduce the anxiety of tests and unfamiliarity)
- study at a desk, if possible (studying at a desk, with good posture, mimics the feeling of being in a classroom or the library. thus, it will create a sense of routine and help you focus better)  
- accommodate yourself (I’m all about making the best out of a bad situation, and this is one way to do it.  accommodate yourself, not just with comfort, but also with actual necessities that you cannot usually get in your usual classroom/library due to whatever reason. stress balls, stim toys, positivity cards, calming music/candles. comforting plushies. chewing gum. as long as it helps you focus better, it's on the table)
- get dressed (this will bring out that sense of structure and routine that you need. put on your normal outfits, uniforms and even perfume. trick your mind into being focused)
- minimize distractions (declutter your study space. put your phone out of reach. turn off notifications. close all other tabs on your browser. select non-distracting music/ sounds. don’t spam or pay attention to spams in your classes’ chatboxes. only bring along items that are absolutely vital to your focus)
- take notes, even if you can record your lessons and/or access the lessons later (it can either be digital notes or handwritten notes on paper - your call. this will force you to focus and prevent you from zoning out/ being distracted)
- be actively engaged in the lecture (if there are technical problems or if you have questions, chatbox away. this is also good practice for people with social anxiety too: the fact that you are in your home and behind the screen can make it easier for you to ask for help)
- if possible, put your teachers/profs on the big screen to create the illusion of being in a lecture (if your study spot has a TV/projector that can connect to your laptop and quality speakers, do it. it's more fun than you'd think. also super stimulating and kicks the boredom out of you too)
- if not, use headphones/ earphones (speakers can create a feeling of distance between the lecture and yourself. combined with unstable internet and/or monotonous voices of some instructors, this may result in your brain classifying your lecture as background noises and zone out. so use headphones or earphones with the appropriate volume for that optimal focus mode)
- give yourself breaks between classes (don't cram all your classes in one morning. but don't procrastinate either. time your breaks. look at something else besides a computer or phone screen while you’re on break too. maybe brew some tea/coffee for your next class or rearrange your notes from the previous one)
💻 REVIEWING FOR ONLINE CLASSES:
- make a schedule/ system - and be ready to change them (this is an elaboration of an earlier tip. your system doesn’t have to work perfectly right away. most of the time, you will have to make some kind of adjustments to it anyway. so take it easy. pay attention to how well you react/ adapt to the new schedule so that you can make necessary changes. and give yourself - especially your mind - some time to adapt to the schedule. don’t rush yourself or put too much pressure on being productive. remember to take care of your well-being too)
- it’s okay to give yourself some off-days (that’s the beauty of not having any physical or even abstract structure that forces you into an inescapable routine. Yes, I know this lack of structure sucks for a lot of us, especially for those who rely on external forces to keep themselves focused. But look on the bright side: now you don’t have to worry about missing classes or losing participation marks when you are unwell physically and mentally anymore)
- textbooks are your friends now (especially when your classes’ live-streams are just chaotic and hard to follow. or when the pre-recorded lectures aren’t loading properly and keeps lagging. practice speed reading. look for keywords and crucial information. take notes rather than highlighting everything. compare them to your lecture notes, your syllabus, or your friends’)
- take advantage of the online format’s availability + other resources (availability is here, baby! revisit lecture videos and podcasts as many times as you need to. check your email classes’ forums regularly for questions or announcements. re-listen to your lecture when you're cleaning or exercising. watch videos of Khan Academy or CrashCourse. look for online tutors. study at your own pace and in your own style. basically anything you wish you could do when your class was in-person)
- there’s no need to submit assignments early if it’s anxiety-inducing. but make a schedule/ tracking system/ set alarms to avoid forgetting to turn them in (take your time to double-check or edit your work - as long as the submission box is still open, of course. set aside about an hour or two before the deadline for submission to avoid any technical difficulties. and remember to start working on them early so that you don’t have to shorten that window of time and have more time for double-checking)
- don't be afraid to email the profs/teachers (if possible, compile your questions into a list. be as specific as you can about your concerns. put a subject for your email to reduces the chance of your email getting lost in your instructors' inbox.)
- reward yourself (don't stress yourself out by rewarding big accomplishments. reward small victories. reward baby steps. reward effort. you'll get things done eventually)
- take time to know your learning style (when are you most focused? do you like taking digital notes or do you prefer pen and paper? are you a visual or an auditory learner? do you like moving around while studying? what drinks or scents or sounds keep you going? you don't have to stick to your usual study methods or an online/paperless one now that you are studying in your own room)
- listen to your mind and body (it’s okay to feel a bit lost) (from my own experience, times that are without structure like nowadays is when most of us fall into this spiraling downfall of unhealthy sleep schedules, lethargy, and loss of purpose. so please take care of your mental and physical well-being during this very, very weird time. keep yourself active. re-ignite old interests/ hobbies. connect with people you love. give yourself some love)
- and more tips on productivity at home in my last post right here
💻 PREPARING FOR ONLINE EXAMS / QUIZZES:
- make a list of all the online exams and final assignment due dates (this will help you keep track of and stay on top of them due dates. from that list, trace backward to make a review or study plan to prepare for the tests and work on the assignments. if there are any time conflicts, especially for those who are now living in a different timezone from their schools or colleges, email the instructors to seek solutions or alternative options)
- again, find a good spot with good wifi, good lighting, and a desk (if possible, try to recreate your ideal exam environment as closely as you can while studying and reviewing for the exams. this can reduce the anxiety of tests and/or unfamiliarity)
- be prepared for technical difficulties (especially mentally, so that you don’t plan out a course of action to take if they ever arise. draft an email template. research in advance the contacts of people whom you can report to - IT personnel, your instructors, student office, etc.)
- bring everything you need to the exams - but no distractions (like mentioned earlier, if you need any special accommodations that are considered "unacceptable" in an in-person exam/quiz, now it's the time to bring them along - you’re in charge of your test space now, so make it as comfortable and accomodating as you want)
- plan your desk set-up prior to your exams (so many extra items. still so little desk space. therefore, plan ahead so your desk does not turn into a mess when you take your exams. plan where you want to put your notes, textbooks, calculators or scrap paper. think about how much use you’re gonna get out of each item and place them within or slightly-out-of reach accordingly. charge your laptop. sharpen your pencils. have your backup stationery handy. lay out everything you need onto your desk the night before your tests. this can create a feeling of preparedness and thus, reduce anxiety as well)
- make cheatsheets (the goals when making them are simple: (1) get you to rewrite your notes for that good memorization; (2) condense your information and find a connection between them for a thorough understanding of the materials; (3) reduce the time you use to flip through your notebooks or textbooks or google for information during the actual tests)
- time yourself with mock exams (if you are given mock exams to practice with, do them, with a timer. this will help you familiarize yourself with the stress of being timed, thus reducing your anxiety during the actual tests)
- get enough sleep and eat properly (even if the exams or quizzes are online, they are still, at their core, tests. and tests are always stressful and energy-consuming. so take care of both your physical and mental health, especially during the week leading up to your exams)

After a week of total chaos, I caved and started a physical bullet journal. Being able to write down and see my tasks all organized on actual paper makes me feel so much calmer. The minimalist layout helps a lot too.
Also, quick announcement: I will be posting some minimalist June calendar phone wallpapers soon. And since pride month is only a few days away, I will also post some pride-themed phone wallpapers as well. So if you’re interested, make sure to be on the look out for that ✨  - thank you :)
