it is better to do good things poorly than to not do them at all. a 15-20 minute walk is better than not going, slow yoga or stretching is better than not moving at all. reading a few pages is better than not reading anything. baby steps are okay.
I have never been into dark academia but after 6 months of non-stop lockdown and 13 months of zoom university I have started to romanticize a new type of university aesthetic which I call
Just Normal Academia:
The taste of cheap vending machine coffee. The dusty smell of your library seat. Clothes that are not remarkable in any way, but hey, you are wearing actual pants. Trying to read books that are relavant for your essay but getting distracted by your friend who wants to chat. The feeling of being cramped into public transport with hundreds of other tired students in the morning.
I never thought I’d be the type of person to have an academia aesthetic but I’d do almost anything to live the Just Normal Academia life right now
honestly i think about sitting in one of those disgusting old chairs in the ratty old library about two to three times a day, at least, and i could cry bc i just want all that so bad
