we are dying from overthinking. we are slowly killing ourselves by thinking about everything. think. think. think. you can never trust the human mind anyway. it’s a death trap.

Summer Studying Tips
As it around the time schools get out for summer, I wanted to share some tips I’ve learned over my many years of doing summer math homework and writing essays for various purposes. I’ve done this enough to know that there are really fucking painful ways to do it and ways that don’t suck nearly as much. Lets get cracklakin!
Timing:
- Ideally you should start early. This post is happening at the start of summer because you should start your studying at the beginning of summer. I like to organize my workload in a bell curve for maximum rest and least amount of cramming at the end. This means that you are starting the summer with a smallish amount of work (to rest and do fun things to reset from the schoolyear), and doing more and more every day as the summer progresses (helps stave off boredom and gets things done), and then start doing less to re-rest yourself so you can be fresh and ready for the next year. All of this while still being finished with no need to cram a bunch of work in at the end of the summer.
- While this is a different aspect of “timing” it is, in my opinion, more important.  Have a set time (or many set times you rotate between) to do your summer work. Make sure this time is not when other people are going to be inviting you to things or when you can hear or see people outside doing fun things. For me, this means at four or five in the morning. I wake up and get as much done as I can before six, then have the rest of the day to relax without worrying about  having to do anything. This method was practically beaten into me, so I kinda hate it, but I can tell my father to go fuck himself and still use tools he forced upon me. I know many people who only work at noon because they like sitting outside in the morning sun and they hang out with friends in the evening. Overall for this one, just make sure that the time you pick isn’t a time where you typically do something because the worst feeling in the world is fomo while studying- it kills nay and all motivation.
Location:
I feel like every study tips post known to man says something or rather about how important location is- and it is super important! Like super super important! but no-one talks about why it is so important. And that good locations for studying depend on who you are and how you do work. I personally struggle to work in cafes because I can hear people talking and I’m nosey as hell. I have friends who can’t work in libraries because the quiet + book noises freaks her out. I can’t work in my kitchen because its nearly impossible for me to focus there. the main things I think about before I try working in a new space are 
1) how loud will it be
2) what kind of noise will it be
3)have I spent time there before doing something else (that my mind will want to do more than study)
4) is it somewhere I have the space to study + internet
5) will I run into someone I know
6) can I be there a decently long amount of time without paying/not paying very much?
7) what is the temperature like
8) what is the likelihood of a kids club showing up
obviously these criteria are different for each person, but they might be a good jumping off place- because it is summer and most kids are getting out of school, avoiding places that will be overrun with them is probably a good idea. In addition, make sure to settle down in a place that is a comfortable temperature and a place where the temp wont fluctuate too much.
Motivation:
I think overall this is the most important thing to keep in mind. It doesn't matter how well you plan out when and where you will be doing your work, it is hell to do if you don’t want to do it. 
I’m not going to tell you to love your subject, but if it is something that you don't like, that feels pointless, and you think it has absolutely no impact on your future, it’s going to be a nightmare to get done. I have no tips for you if you are in this situation.
If you don’t want to do it because it is annoying, but it’s a necessary class that you need to take, that works great! put on some fun music and force yourself to do it. It will suck but if it is part of your major or in any way connected to something you like or are passionate about, follow those connections. For example, I was in this awful writing class last semester. The teacher was bad and there was nothing really to be learned. it was a class i had to take solely for the credits. I decided that I was going to be obnoxious and write every damn essay about corsetry and the patriarchy. I swear to got I have 80 pages of writing about the damn subject. I should be publishing a book at this point. (I was one of my favorite classes that semester bc I had so much fun with the topic)
If you don’t want to do it because it’s hard, buckle up and open khan academy and YouTube. nearly every subject known to man is covered in some level on those two sites, and if that fails, find an alternate textbook to the one you have and see if having two perspectives makes it make sense. 
If it’s something you want to do but just cant force yourself to do and you’ve been scrolling for hours, go brush your teeth, change clothes or take a shower and start trying to do your work somewhere new.
I hope one of these helped, and if you have more ideas/tips pls let me know bc I’m writing this to procrastinate on my own summer work.

- get Dressed with makeup to boost confidence when facing creative block late at night
- untucked button-downs and jeans
- ink blots and pen doodles on my hands
- a new spotify playlist for every nuanced emotion on the human spectrum
- having a favourite colour but not owning/wearing a single piece of clothing in that colour lmaooo
- kiss my excess lipstic onto a napkin that I use as a bookmark in my poetry anthologies
- listening to jazzy renditions of contemporary songs
- wearing brown lipstic instead of red and channelling 90s ethnic lana del rey
- crumpled white shirts with pajamas + smudgy eyeliner + red lips = rockstar academic gf? 
- wearing tangled headphones as-is 
- sipping energy drinks slow like tea instead of chugging them lmao
- blazers w/ jeans

Dei uma leve sumida, estive um pouco cansada e talvez buscando um pouquinho de solitude, estou lendo odisseia no momento, e hoje a noite estou fazendo minha terapia a base de livros, velas e música… Tamino se tornou minha obsessão particular, e apenas a voz dele que tenho ouvido…

“I don't know how to love my friends in a way friend loves a friend; I only love them like they're part of me, like a parent loves their child;
with a fear they'll fell off a bike, with a fear they'll cut themselves out as they grow apart
and if they throw rocks at you, you'll still be a mother, you'll still lick their wounds, and you'll still cry alone behind closed doors
maybe that's a definition of a bad parent, but all I know is that I've been a parent my whole life; and I wish you had a better friend.
and I wish you had a better mother.”

And at one point, my mind lingered, wanting to spend more time listening to the ocean waves, spending more time in the cold-breeze-strummed fields, and holding wild flowers in my hands. I desired more nights where I sleep under the moonlight and wake up to my favorite drink.

can the fallen men be as beautiful as the falling leaves
is our failure worth commemorating, like autumnal bliss
am i the sum of my unconscious actions too?
weighting down, choking on my conscience
