Dark Academia Habits to adopt

i might as well just add, HEALTHY dark academia habits to adopt easily and fit right into your schedule if you have one. This beautiful aesthetic has a lot (not all) of creators promoting things solely on the basis of defined aesthetics from media which are tremendously injurious to one's health. Please, please please...don't hurt yourself trying to follow an aesthetic, in the short or long term , we have a ton of examples for demonstartion. And please don't hurt others.

Dark Academia Habits to adopt-

romanticize your eyes and the way you say things. No writers writing about your raven eyes? write a haiku for yourself. Be your own muse!

Read. Read. Read. Don't let the DA community pressurise you into reading just the classics. Read what your heart desires? Fantasy? hell yeah!…thinking of changing your life? Self Help books? Brilliant!

Dark Academia is the aesthetic for people who crave knowledge , for people who would analyse , who want to learn, with head full of philosophies , full of passion for what they do , who are ready to do anything to achive their goals…and most of all for people who wish to be all the things above and more.

Channel your Hermione or Rory or Neil Perry or any fav fictional character into yourself and get to work.. Okay but if someone is channeling Henry Winter …please in a limit guys okay?..

Why scroll on social media sites in your free time. Start a language learning journey..So many apps that give you a game like language learning option to do that! Work on your scrolling addiction and get to work!…

Analyze a snippet of poetry in your free time..not for anyone to show..but purely for your satisfaction.

Get educated, my bro. Learn about philosphers and their qoutes and just drop them in the middle of your convos…I bet you will sound mysterious and learned if not educated, smart and elite.

Drink water out of wine glasses, or coffee mugs or weird things you normally wouldnt. But drink water, keep your skin nice and healthy

Eat good food. meal prep or not but see what is going in you body. That will be responsible for your energy levels.

If you have a plain journal around, WRITE WRITE WRITE…i dont care what you write. poems , letters to your 1945's darling , or to your fictional character or telling your beloved (which you have met or not met) about your day. Dear diary is outdated ha ha… Dear Beloved xyz…who is stopping you from doing this shit?

Pretend you are the main character till you become the main character. Get the desired personality you want your main character to have. Good at public speaking? Hell yeah i will practice in the mirror for hours till i laugh seeing my stupid face mess up. Makes friends easily? For sure, imma hit my colleagues and/or classmates for a chat…or Looks mysterious to strangers? Practice makes things betters …DO IT..

Manners maketh man. Talk politely. Refrain from using crude language.

You dont need expensive clothes to feel dark academic. (who even started that!! )Choose your style, the one which you are more comfortable in and carry yourself gracefully. Walk long halls with your thrifted jacket and torn jeans… there are so many sub genres and division of dark academia… find your type AND AGAIN… healthy ones please

Oh romanticise your major. Who cares if all the posts are about english and languages and literature and philosophies.. STEM dark academia hello!!?! Writing equations and working hard for yourself , to get to that position you wish to be… the only mountain you gotta climb is you…

Be the friend you wish to have. You want a DA friend group in your university . Start doing all the things you wish your friend group did, who knows maybe... Well...we all know your vibe attracts yours tribe..hehe

Watch Dark Academia movies.. Movies that take you to your goal or are you trying to take a break? watch what you wish . Mona Lisa Smile, Dead poets Society , Pride and Prejudice (2005 or any), Little Woman, The Da vinci Code, The Imitation Game, The theory of Everything, SHERLOCK HOLMES oh god.., Sherlock BBC, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean THE AGE OF ADALINE, Hamlet etc etc etc

Stay fit, read your fav book while taking stairs instead of the elevator/lift. listen to your fav spotify playlist while having a walk. I personaly like to listen to classical workout songs, i dont know which genius decided to compile upbeat classical pieces like that.

They make me feel like the main character while i am cycling or walking around. Whatever gets the work done right?

Decode. Research topics in cryptography, invent your own language and write things in it..leave sticky notes full fo symbols or different letters here and there..

Write Futureme letters to yourself. They are a window for your future self to look back to the time you are in. I usually write letters for myself and post them to my future self in 2024 or 2025 or 2030 or more.. i write in a world war fashion or somedays in my own style. I write to my friends and family members. They are also sorta snippets of my will..idk.. like if you are reading this , and i am dead in your time...then do this this etc . Nice way to look past Death, isn't it?

Utilise your full potential.Don't let your mind even think for a second that i could have done more…Do more.. over learning never hurts, add the Extra to the ordinary.

Stop comparing yourself to others. Others dont have the same life as yours,nor have they had the same circumstances, So focus on your self… let people talk… Focus on yourself, and focus on your progress.

and please rest…Give your body time to heal, soak up your desired light… moonlight is better for me, i despise sun light. Sit in the moonlight , in a park or in your room and just sit.. Relax for god's sake.

Be proud of who you are and never terminate your progress…Be Better! better than who you were last summer or few years back…

making a new yearly bullet journal spread is serious business (I drew 72 mini calendar grids and my hand cramped)

#i don’t think i’ve written/drawn to the point of hand cramps since like middle school #it was bc did all the month’s habit trackers (5 per month) now in advance bc I think it makes more sense to get the full picture of all #months at once #and also those mini calendar grids are my least favorite part so now won’t have to bother with those anymore #bookblr #studyblr #booklr #aesthetic #books #study #reading #read #book #bujo #bullet journal #dark academia #january 2024 #2024 #i also have a page for books but currently it’s just a title so didn’t bother with the pic

the best night routines start in the morning

tips from an anxious psychology student who loves sleep 💤

🌅 todos whenever you wake up:

our brains are wired to notice contrast, so take this time to show your brain what it's like to be awake! the more you wake up, the more you can wind down later~ some suggestions:

wash your face

brush your teeth

eat something!! (then take your supplements, don't take them on an empty stomach)

make your bed (for max freshness when you go back to sleep though, i recommend you leave your bed to air for at least a few hours)

☀️ todos throughout the day:

now our goal is to tire ourselves out enough so that we can have happy sleeps later! we need to focus on both the mental and physical aspects of this. some suggestions:

exercise

learn something new

get sunlight (no, vitamin D doesn't count, although you should be taking your required supplements)

experience an emotional rollercoaster (not exactly recommended as it may backfire in the form of keeping you awake with a spiral of uncontrollable thoughts)

🎑 todos before bed:

the moment we've all been waiting for has arrived! while going to bed at a regular time helps with conditioning yourself to fall asleep, sometimes that's just not possible, so here are some other suggestions:

check your wake up alarms (are they set for the latest possible time? do you actually need an alarm?)

lie down in the dark while having a nonsensical conversation with yourself (our brains automatically tune out stuff that don't make sense, so trick your brain into tuning itself out — especially helpful in the event of an emotional rollercoaster kind of day)

use a comfortable sleep mask (blocks out all light even from peripheries but still allows you to breathe comfortably, isn't too tight around the head)

earbuds make pretty good earplugs or you can play white noise/soothing music/etc. to block out louder noises

feel free to add your own suggestions in the reblogs/comments~ sweet dreams! 🛌

🌤️ refreshing + renewing activity ideas 🌻

left: finally caved and started habitica a while back — it's basically my cuter to-do list now 🤷‍♀️ right: i'm so good at 반말 (casual speech) thanks to all the k-content i consume 😎

I completed Habitica's March Self-Care Challenge (in the last possible week 😅) and one of the prompts was to make a list of things that ✨refresh and renew✨ you. After keeping track of this list mentally for some time, it was so nice to finally write it all down and realize how much support I have simply from my own actions and from where I choose to direct my focus! Highly recommend these activities and if you have any recommendations that help you gain energy, please share them with me too!! 🙏💕

Go to Sleep

i'm totally serious, i'm not just saying this because my entire blog was founded on my love for sleep

easy, low-effort

everything is better when you're well-rested

being unconscious and unaware is the situation to be in for least possible stress

Exercise

ok, the complete opposite end of the spectrum, but it's connected when you remember that physical activity while awake leads to better sleep!

eliminates/prevents chronic pain issues (learned from personal experience, unfortunately)

you feel like That Girl™️

if you like the feeling of accomplishment and progress, this one's for you because ENDORPHINS, BABY!!

Watch a Comfort Show

bonus if it's a comedy — laughter does SO much for your psyche

again, easy, low-effort

set a binge limit though because even if you have nothing else planned for the day your body WILL complain and you WILL feel like trash if you go more than ~3-4 hours

Go for a Walk

bonus if it's in nature/outdoors because exposure to sunlight cues your body to make you sleepy later at night

easy, low-effort (can you tell i'm partial to activities of this variety)

eliminates/prevents chronic pain issues!!!

Listen to your Favorite Music

have a dance party!!

sing (or lip sync) along!!

while cleaning

while commuting

while cooking (just be careful not to get too into it and burn something... or yourself...)

Get into Flow State

this doesn't necessarily mean doing something typically "creative"

you can get into a flow state when doing ANYTHING if you're able to lose awareness of yourself/time while doing it!!

which is usually why doing something you enjoy and that requires higher-level cognition (i.e. a creative hobby) gets you there

BUT you can also achieve it more "passively," for example, reading a good book or learning about something your passionate about (personally something highly open-ended works best, e.g. you can just keep learning languages forever and ever)

💌: i had way more items in my list, but these have been the most reliable ones from my experience, and you deserve the best! ❣️ until next time, take care, lovelies 💐
