I do advising and mentoring for undergrads - dm's/asks are always open if you’re seeking advice on basically anything.
I am also human, which means I have struggled with my fair share of exams and classes before but I'm persistent to a fault and it's gotten me this far so hopefully I can help out when needed.
Tl;dr: A wannabe academic tries to start a studyblr.
(Tag Navigation + more under the cut)
Tag Navigation---
#academiacore: Miscellaneous thoughts relating to academia, schooling, and the like.
#dirtbagprometheus: Original studyblr content.
#dirtbags spotify: Spotify playlists I've made and published thus far and general song recommendations and rants.
#journal: Excerpts from my journaling I feel the need to put out there.

Interests [which you can find more about on my main or other sideblogs]---
Aesthetics: I’m quite obsessed with the concept of aesthetics in the current age of social media and will probably write about it quite a bit. For those interested in aesthetics, my aesthetic has been called by those who know me, a mixture of chaotic/dark academia meets punk all tied in a western bolo tie. Do with that what you will.
Fashion: I have always had an interest in fashion and garment construction, during the March 2020 quarantine, I started working on starting a brand as a way to stay busy. Here’s my fashion sideblog @houseofapotheosis.
Films: A wide variety of films. I don’t use it too much but if we’re mutuals and you want my Letterboxd, ask!
Music: My music taste runs rather diverse, but I tend to fall into more alternative genres. My current most listened to spotify playlist is here.
Politics: I will bring up politics when I feel necessary because it is necessary. All are welcome here and discussions are always ready to be had as long as all parties are respectful and civil. This is not a space which supports conservative or alt-right beliefs.
Philosophy: Not much to say, but I’m always interested in doing philosophical deep dives and want to use my philosophy degree for something.
Reading: reading is my lifeforce and will always bring up a reason to rant about books. Here’s my StoryGraph.
Religion: I love talking about religion and spirituality and will probably discuss it at length when I want to. This is to say that people of all religions and spiritualities are welcome here and kindness, common sense, and civility are expected. If you are ever curious about my thoughts on religion or spirituality asks and messages are always open.
Writing: Shuffling 20 or so wips around on various topics and writing styles. If you’re curious about my wips, ask me! Here are some of my current wips below
Book: The Thread That Ties; An Anthropology of Religion, Science, and Witchcraft (working on turning my thesis into a book!)
Journal Article: Everything's Open, But Some Things Are More Open Than Others; The Fight For Open Access Information in Academic Circles
Poetry: Epithets; Finding The Divine in The Mundane
Purpose for blog creation ---
The short and simple, I started this blog as a way to rebuild myself after a strong bout of burnout. I’ve been hyper driven and ambitious since I was quite young and have always struggled with the workhorse mentality. I haven’t had a moment of rest probably ever and want to use this blog as a way to develop a healthy relationship with academics, career, and myself. Along the road I hope to share my experiences and help others that are going through similar things.
Welcome to my academic labyrinth of a blog, enjoy your stay, don’t get lost, and I'll see you around the woods.
- Prometheus

Official re-introduction?
Hey everyone! I haven't reintroduced myself since coming back on tumblr. I've been on and off tumblr for the past ten-ish years, but I finally found a routine that works for me to keep my blog updated!
I am wanna-be-bookish, formerly wannabe-historian. I finished university a few years ago, and I don't see myself going back for now. So I don't think I can classify myself being part of the studyblr community anymore.
My content will be mostly re-blogged stuff, anything I find aesthetically pleasing and relating to books and studying. I also hope to put out more original content as I recently re-discovered my love of reading, and I'm really excited to talk about it!
So here we are, my first original post in a really long time. Pictured, the newest addition to my bookshelf, The Choice by Nora Roberts, the third and final installment in 'The Dragon Heart Legacy'. I have been loving this series and I might need to pick up a few more of Nora Roberts' works in the future. Let me know what you think if you've read this trilogy!
xoxo wanna-be-bookish
