You know what. I’m starting a new aesthetic, population me.
Romantic Science, AKA Dark Academia for STEM people.
Thrifting a lab coat and embroidering it with your initials and a little insignia, whose significance is known to you and your lab partner only
Watching The Theory of Everything and The Imitation Game and Hidden Figures and basically every movie about historical scientists and mathematicians you can find
Decorating your desk with old slide rules and vintage lab equipment. Your prize possession is a set of vintage lenses you found at a thrift store
Wanting an articulated human skeleton far, far too much
Getting a set of (brand new, NOT thrifted, be safe ppl) beakers to drink from, and putting them directly onto your stovetop to boil water for tea or coffee, because borosilicate glass can survive anything.
Secretly relating far too much to Henry Jekyll and Victor Frankenstein, because you too want to do a gay little science experiment that challenges god.
Thunderstorms and late nights in the lab, the light of the Bunsen burner glistening off of your flasks and scribbled chalkboard equations
Papering your walls with vintage scientific diagrams; even if you know that our understanding of the world has evolved since they were made, looking back at scientific history is amazing
Writing code late at night and feeling, in some metaphysical way, as though Ada Lovelace herself is with you in spirit
Being far, FAR too obsessed with the concept of emergent ai sentience and how it has the potential to be Frankenstein irl
Looking through a telescope on clear nights, whispering the names of the constellations and stars, painting a star chart on your ceiling in a burst of creative inspiration
Collecting and mounting samples from everywhere you can think of to pore over in an antique microscope
Bringing a field journal wherever you go, learning how to draw and label botanical samples, preserving plants and flowers for study later
Dreaming of what undiscovered mysteries lie in the deepest depths of the sea, feeling the thrill of discovery whenever you learn about a new species and one day hoping to discover one yourself
Just. Romanticise STEM.
“I once read in my physics book that the universe begs to be observed, that energy travels and transfers when people pay attention. Maybe that's what love really boils down to--having someone who cares enough to pay attention so that you're encouraged to travel and transfer, to make your potential energy spark into kinetic energy.”

I'm working by the fire because it is so cold today
53/100 days of productivity: I don't have a lot of things to post. I revise all days long and that is not really photogenic. But today my mother bring me flower, so I needed to take a picture I will also wear new glasses because my view changed due to working a lot. So take care of your eyes !
44/100 days of productivity: So in the beginning of this school year I made those notes in many chapters. Now I found their usefulness. Also I have stomach ache but this won't stop me to work even if I'm better in my bed.
38/100 days of productivity: My teacher are all trying to finish in time. It's like my third maths lesson of the week.
33/100 days of productivity: Learning physics for my exam tomorrow. It's my last one (I hope ! 5/2 is not for me)
32/100 days of productivity: My schedule changed a lot this week and this is even worse next week. I feel completely out of my routine. There is so much things to know in this course that I decided to use a 4A paper than my usual A5 Bristol paper.
30/100 days of productivity: Bullet journal pages about engineering schools entrance examination
I use paperclip to keep my notes together (because it is to heavy to take every binder with me) and they are really helpful, even if l always loose them in my bag. Hope those pictures can inspire you. So don't throw your empty tea's box. You can always store something in them ;)
17/100 days of productivity: Bake some cakes for my class today. Bought new black pens because this is the time again when all my pen are dying. Spent hours on my oral presentation's power point, made physics notes and exercices.
15/100 days of productivity: Learning learning learning While finishing my DM I made a chai tea latte : my favorite brevage by far right now.
14/100 days of productivity: Worked all day long. I did 2 DM ( long and more difficult exercice than usual ) today. My boyfriend helped me for the second and we are quite a nice team together.
Lot of work today. I spend hours on my khôle notes looking for more informations in physics books. I even continued while cooking and finished after eating but I made a pause to come back at school in the afternoon.Though, it took me so long ! I also made my engineering sciences notes during the morning classes because why not. I saved time that way. And now, 11pm, I will only begin my physics homework. I become to be late in my work. I spent too much time helping others doing their own homeworks that I forgot mine. So, I will probably work late tonight.
Un jour peut-être quelqu'un réussira à shinter les industries pétrolières et automobiles soute ues par des politiciens francs-maçons pour que les moteurs à inertie ou à eau qui fonctionnent puissent enfin voir le jour.
Et là, on réalisera à quel point notre civilisation a été duppée et massacrée sur l’hôtel du profit.
The physics of balancing toys 🙃
Day 36
March 26th 2021
Things are getting harder🤯🤯
There are so many things that I missed studying last year...
But it's okay...cuz my teacher says, "If everything seems to be smooth, you are not on the right path."
"Jo aakhiri tak tik jaega woh jeet jaega"
(The one who will keep going till the end will win)
So🙌🙌 Let's be happy if we are facing problems and not giving up on them ❤️
Day 22
March 12th 2021
Lifesavers🙌🙌
Being a dropper I can tell you, you will thank yourself a week before exam for making formula-sheets.
No matter how much we study, stress levels are on the peak at that time... I felt like crying 10-12 times in one day when NEET 2020 was approaching.
Be prepared 🙌🙌
Day 17
March 7th 2021
Finally things are falling in place🙂
I don't get stressed when there is a lot of work...I usually get stressed when I am not doing what I should be doing.

Day 14
March 4th 2021
Short notes are magical weapons against pre exam stress🙂
I wish I new more people who were nerds like me. I want someone to rant to me about their obsession with some sub-field of science. I want to rant to them about my obsession with space and physics and gravity and black holes. We can learn stuff and have fun at the same time. Is that too much to ask?
Plspslpslpslsplspslspslsplspslsplsplsplsplsplsplsplsplsplsplsplsplsplsplsplsplspls universe, just let me understand physics for once🙏🏻🎀
Working on stuff/reading in a room together >>>>> going out easy.
i love the vibe of computer scientists and general stem people so much. they're usually not talkative and can have mannerisms others might consider odd (or even rude), but i love just being in the same room as them. working on solving a math problem, exchanging ideas, or just silently coding next to each other.
i cannot stress enough how joyful of an experience that is.
