I just made a playlist of songs that I listen to while I study 📚 Unfortunately, I have to lock in over the holidays, and I know some people are in the same boat so hopefully this will help motivate!
I didn’t do this on purpose, but it turned out EXACTLY 2 hours long, so it’s a sign from the universe that you should listen to it 😁
AAAAAAHHHH I HAVE A MATH TEST TMRW
Normally, I’m not so stressed, but I missed class this week (I was skipping shame on me 😭) and I have no clue what’s going on… Me and the math teacher are besties because he’s the coach of the golf team, so I’m scared of disappointing him with my bad test scores.
I also had a long lab in chem this week. It’s really sad because we got bad results even though we ran our trial for over and hour lol. I think it’s my lab partner’s fault because he keeps on putting his crusty fingers all over the cuvettes which is messing up the spectrophotometer. Hopefully he actually writes his part so it’s not another repeat of last year.
- Practice midterms for matrices

Don’t ask me why we have a midterm in January… I have no clue.
it’s a grey week so far— the kind where you can already smell the petrichor and the grass is damp with anticipation but there’s no droplets of rain when i look up at the sky
its an endless sea of fatigue. constant repetition of the same days and same assignments and same hopes and dreams. everyone expects every ounce of your energy or none at all— a limbo between pressure and vengeance
i’m trapped inside my own head, wishing for an alternate existence knowing i need to face the world. hopefully i get the courage soon
regaining momentum ♡
ps: i received roses!
who decided that both electric potential and electric potential energy were going to be a thing 😑 we need a serious discussion!
i’m back in the library and i’m actually getting some work done which is good! i’ve been feeling kind of down lately so focusing on homework has gotten a lot harder.
finals are coming up and all i want to do is watch arcane season 2 and rewatch voltron before it leaves netflix 😭 two more weeks….
Star Trails taken by Rob on February 24 2024
Star trails are photographs taken over long exposures, where the rotation of the Earth causes the stars to appear as arcs in the sky instead of points. The Earth rotates around its axis every 23 hours and 56 minutes.
Typically, star trails are focused on Polaris in the northern hemisphere, but I found this photo unique because it opted for a different composition. It also really highlights how dense the sky is with stars.
It begs the question, why isn't the sky infinitely bright with infinite stars? This is actually the observation that helped cosmologists find theories for the age of the universe. For a young universe, not enough time has passed for the light from incredibly distant stars to reach us, leading to the dark sky we see when we look up at night.
Morning loves <3 It’s the weekend … I’m taking a slow day…

We went to the local observatory tonight but when we got there, there was a HUGE line of people. Whoops. It’s was still really pretty and we got to see an amazing view of the stars.
These are my attempts to take a picture of the sky with my phone but they didn’t turn out very well. I don’t even remember what I was trying to photograph. Next time, I’ll try to bring an actual camera.
I think the brightest one in the left picture might be Jupiter???? lol 🥲
If I have such high dreams, why would I settle for anything less?
