self Doubt

But there is no choice except to go forward. In the midst of thesis writing. Truly a travail (trial, work, but also labour of love maybe idk) as it is my first encounter head on with academia, I have more of a vocational background. I also started doing the MA after a decade-ish working so it's gratifying in a sense but oh so much self motivation is required. In terms of advice, hang out with the professors and take advantage of their office hours when you can.

DOING TOO MUCH BUT STILL FEELING LIKE IM NOT DOING ENOUGH

like i know college is supposed to be hard but my goodness this is a bit bonkers. i was explaining to my friend how much i have to do before the end of the semeste, and she said “why would you put yourself through that?” but like…what else am i supposed to do? i don’t know another way! if my professor says write a paper for next week, im writing the paper🤷🏾‍♀️it’s not my choice to write the paper but it is my choice to do well in school. and everything else that’s piled on me is my choice too. two jobs because school is expensive and rent is expensive and groceries are expensive. and any side project/relevant experience i can get my hands on bc i feel so underprepare. and despite allllll that…i still feel so behind. i feel like no matter what or how much i do, im not doing enough or im not doing the right thing. and i’m just exhausted

accepting that you’re not trendy and cool

tried reading dante alighieri’s inferno. key emphasis on tried. i got bored and realised a story written in poem form is not my typa beat. i tried because it seemed like what all the indie hipsters who are well versed would read, and that i would look cool and niche—but it just cost me $25. i prefer crazy detailed paragraphs rather than a line by line story. anyways

stop saying “i’m sick”!!

saying “i’m sick” when you’re sick is boring. instead, here are some more funky fresh and cool ways to disclose that your immune system has been highjacked (it’s time to revive these sayings from the dead!): “i am indisposed” “i am taken ill” “i am feeling out of sorts” “i am suffering from a bilious attack” “i have been seized by an ague” “i am afflicted with a malaise” “i have taken to my bed” “the vapours have overcome me” “i have a touch of the influenza” “the rheumatism plagues me” “i am laid low with a fever” “i am afflicted with a troublesome ailment” you’re welcome
