Colette, Tr. By Matthew Ward, From The Collected Stories; “The Accompanist, //Charles Bukowski

I relate to this 100%

my favourite things i’ve done with Dark Academia

stayed up all night before school to read an entire book

completely bought out the charity shops book shelves,, like they where e m p t y

also all those books cost 50p each

worn the same sweater 4 days in a row because it’s comfortable and looks pretty

had so many notebooks my desk is overflowing with them

having so many books that they physically won’t fit on my shelf anymore so they need to go around my room on the floor

drinking mass amounts of coffee even tho i’m lactose intolerant

i shall add on as my crackheadery progresses

Foggy mornings at Oxford

Day in the life of a Natural Science academic.

-I am absolutely in love with Santiago Ramon y Cajal and Camillo Golgi. I found it quite fascinating learning about their lives and the influence both had on Modern Neuroscience.

Santiago kind of has my heart because he is everything but the stereotypical idea of a scientist. He actually wanted to become an artist but that went against his father’s wishes and Santiago became quite…the rebel in school. But with time, he was intrigued by histology and proceeded to conducting a lot of research, one of them being neurons and Golgi’s Black Reaction. Santiago was able to illustrate neurons as shown in one of the pictures above. And he improved Golgi’s reaction that was a staining method using (silver nitrate and potassium chromate).

*me making my seventh tea / coffee of the day* maybe this little beverage will motivate me to finish my work

I live by this

Some pictures from today. The weather was absolutely beautiful; the sun, warm and felt rejuvenated even after my neuro exam.

This is the epitome of academia and it’s beautiful in my eyes.

Me too

how to love a dark academic:

• write them letters and seal the envelopes with fancy wax seals

• buy them books

• write them poetry

• quote shakespeare, or really any other author or playwright to them

• read and discuss books with them

• listen to their 3 am rants on how we could've heard oscar wilde's voice if he'd had lived just a tad longer

• help them study

Decisions decisions...

tchaikowsky donating his skull to the royal shakespeare company in the hopes of becoming yorick is the most dramatic ass dark academia shit ever and you can’t convince me otherwise
