God did not give us brains to agonise over writing academic papers and painstakingly add citations. We were given them so we could frolick in the fields and avoid predators.

And yes, maybe I should have documented my process these past 8 weeks so I wouldn't have to cram all the writing in the last week. But, in fairness, whose bright idea was it to give us 9 weeks to do design and write a paper, then 7 weeks to make a presentation and do final edits? Tf do I need 7 weeks to make a presentation for? Do they want me to hand animate the power point slides?

Also, when will I use these skills in the real world? I don't want to go into research!

Me crying about the degree i chose for myself -> bocchi-cry

Me reaping what I sow -> angery

I feel like I've gotten dumber as I get older and also do not like being alone with my thoughts and crave background noise.

At the very least, I have a rain sounds app going on my phone 24/7 that I'll only turn off outside the house

with every paper you are working towards building something bigger than yourself

The main reason why I can't fall asleep sometimes is because of overthinking.

You're not the only one.

Just get long covid like me and you’ll no longer be able to think about slightly complex things without getting a headache and brainfog for a day πŸ‘

I’m kind of a fan of thinking but i get kinda pissed off abt it sometimes because I can’t focus when I watch Twins In Paradise when I’m high cause I keep noticing all the tiny details in it
