If you think people used to willingly stare off into the distance before smartphones, my dad told me he had this psychology assignment when he was in college in the 80s which was basically
Go to a restaraunt by yourself and eat a meal without a newspaper or journal or anything else to keep you occupied and then write a report about it
Which tells me that this was a way for a professor to inflict psychological torture on their students and that people used to bring little things with them to keep them entertained. Shown by those old pictures of everyone in a trolley reading a newspaper with one hand.
Frankly I think that the human brain has been craving smart phone forever. Perhaps we use it too much at times but if this was 1985 we also wouldn’t be talking to people. We’d just be looking at newspaper or drawing stuff on notepad instead. And the old people would all be shaking their fists about how kids spend too much time looking at that damn TV because yes this discourse has been going on long before smart phone

my study technique while studying history is basically like telling a story, from the beginning to the present time. since everything is history is connected to each other, its rlly easier that way.
anw, i badly need a copy of textbook of this book, but its not available online T_T, so I'll stick to bulletin points of powerpoint.
I have 3 references as I study, 1) my notebook during lecture, 2) tablet for the ppt, 3) photo from the whiteboard, its kinda lot bcos i need to make i understand everything, and i won't fail! (100 points, 50 items).
Energy is vital as we study, thankful for my mom for the cookies and ofc water bottle! water is the key.
gl to everyone!
Sherlock, on his phone at 2 a.m: Wow, a woman in Gloucestershire strangled her husband to death. Can you imagine just snapping like that?
John, trying to sleep next to him: Yes
Get over the fear of being seen.
Stop caring about how you’re gonna be perceived. Stop doubting yourself. Stop aiming to be perfect. Stop ruminating.
Accept who you are. Hype yourself. Invest in yourself. Be audacious. Trust in the greater outcome. Allow yourself to be seen as you are.
one of my weekly rituals is afternoon tea with friends after class
Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
