Academic Burnout - Blog Posts
Maturing is wanting to go feral but knowing you'll regret it and that you need to conserve energy to get through the rest of the day
Sleep is the despairing soul's opioid
what happened to me?
guys i can’t do ts anymore and i don’t even CARE
like WHAT?!
big exams coming up and i’m struggling to find the WILL to even WANT to revise
am i more productive at nighttime or am i so choked with responsibility and duty during the day that my free time is now only ever available to me when in exchange for a sacrifice of tomorrow's wellbeing? (because apparently revenge nighttime procrastination is an actual thing??)
To those of you writing your papers right now, I hope you realise how important it is to mark and acknowledge your progress no matter the amount, and that your academic caliber is not necessarily going to be the same as others and that’s no reason for you to beat yourself up over, because you’ve done what you can by the end of the day. You need to realise the strength, time and effort it took for you to do it because it was YOU who sat down those hours completing your tasks for and all by yourself, not anybody else, so I beg of you to give yourself the credit you so incredibly deserve. <3
You know what, fuck it.
It’s okay to not be a genius.
Being smart is great and I respect the hell out of people who are good at maths and sciences and can write essays well, but it’s not the be all and end all of being human.
If you can make a decent cup of tea? If you’re good at making people laugh?
If you’re a genuinely nice person?
You’ve succeeded.
I think we’ve come to think of intelligence as the only thing worth being, when in actuality it’s okay to not be smart because there are so many other things that are worthwhile in a life.
TL;DR - It doesn’t matter if you’re not smart, just be kind and you’re good.
