The world of academia is considered highly male centric despite that the aesthetic seems to be dominated by young queer women. I am not a fan of Donna Tartt so I have collected alternatives from my own collection of books and a few from friends and family. Some of the books may not be exactly “dark academia” or a set academic aesthetic but they all address female experiences and are academically acclaimed.

september 4th: favorite study snack!

this picture may be a bit misleading lol bc my favorite study snack is actually chips ! it takes some effort for me to eat healthy food 😬 so chips (specifically salty kettle chips) are perfect

september 5th: how did this week go for you?

um this week went alright. i’m really starting to feel like i need a break, but i don’t think i’ll be getting one anytime soon. my grades are good, but i had a nightmare last night that i had a B haha

august 28th: tea or coffee?

i’m not a huge fan of either ! 😬 i do enjoy the occasional chamomile tea, but i really like these little chocolates for some caffeine! i also love mtn dew and energy drinks, but i try not to drink them too much, bc they’re obv not the greatest for you

I love people with obscure knowledge or useless academic insights. I want to hear your analysis of lighting in Ratatouille. Tell me about the history of soda pop or the references to classical mythology in Macbeth. I want to know about the underlying homoerotic context of that 1930s sci-fi paperback. I think all knowledge is worthwhile knowledge. Explain to me the ecosystems that komodo dragons inhabit. Don’t be afraid to learn for the sake of learning.

recently started reading this book! i’m already in pain, i can tell this will be a frustrating read, but the story is so good ... i skipped school today to study for my finals, and it went well ! i finished a 1000 word essay and made some flashcards for chem 💫

what a great day to remember that languages are an integral part of people’s identity and culture and should be treated with respect

if you’re not wandering around in a sprawling library aimlessly running your hand on dated bookspines before settling down with a hardcover classic on a window seat while the afternoon rain pours down from outside then that’s the point
