Cozy study nook in my dorm at brown university

cartas-rasgadas:

“O tempo é o maior reparador de erros e responsável por cicatrizar as feridas que adquirimos ao longo da vida e que por um motivo ou outro as vezes elas ardem e trás recordações. Mas apesar de tudo, existe algo que devemos sentir orgulho: embora as cicatrizes existam, é a prova de quem amou, ama e sente de verdade, de quem nunca viveu na superficialídade das coisas. Elas existem pra mostrar o quanto somos humanos e podemos até ser empáticos, pois vez ou outra nosso ego nos prega peças e leva você a ser capaz de perdoar até quem te machucou.”

10 Reasons to Study (That Aren’t Grades)

•  1/2/20  •  10:30 pm  •

1. To grow your knowledge!
2. To explore a subject and discover possible new interests
3. To take full advantage of the gift of education
4. To make yourself proud
5. To pursue your dreams and work towards the future you want
6. To be a positive example and role model for those around you
7. To decrease your stress levels later on since you’ll have done some studying already so you won’t need to cram as much
8. To learn things that might come up later in life and be useful (random trivia, anyone?)
9. To be That Person who knows all the answers but doesn’t have to flaunt it in order to prove it
10. To understand the way that different subjects and disciplines intersect and can be intertwined in neat ways that might not be immediately apparent

(Disclaimer: studying in order to get good grades is a perfectly valid reason to study! I just see that all the time as the main motivator for students so I wanted to add some other reasons that one might have for studying! You also definitely don’t have to be motivated by all of the things I said, these are just some ideas and things that I personally find inspirational!)

Today I worked on learning Italian for the #1yearoflangs challenge and I also did some planning for the upcoming quarter!
