I don't like thinking :(

God did not give us brains to agonise over writing academic papers and painstakingly add citations. We were given them so we could frolick in the fields and avoid predators.

And yes, maybe I should have documented my process these past 8 weeks so I wouldn't have to cram all the writing in the last week. But, in fairness, whose bright idea was it to give us 9 weeks to do design and write a paper, then 7 weeks to make a presentation and do final edits? Tf do I need 7 weeks to make a presentation for? Do they want me to hand animate the power point slides?

Also, when will I use these skills in the real world? I don't want to go into research!

The main reason why I can't fall asleep sometimes is because of overthinking.
- You're not the only one.

Just get long covid like me and you’ll no longer be able to think about slightly complex things without getting a headache and brainfog for a day 👍

with every paper you are working towards building something bigger than yourself

I feel like I've gotten dumber as I get older and also do not like being alone with my thoughts and crave background noise.
At the very least, I have a rain sounds app going on my phone 24/7 that I'll only turn off outside the house

This is why I fill any chance I can get with background noise, lest I be left alone with my own thoughts

extremely fucking real. solidarity friend, im going through the same stuff, slamming all the writing in at the eleventh hour like usual, having never learned my lesson from doing it every other time before now

I’m kind of a fan of thinking but i get kinda pissed off abt it sometimes because I can’t focus when I watch Twins In Paradise when I’m high cause I keep noticing all the tiny details in it

Buddy, have I got some videos to show you...
