Dark academia things you should NOT strive for:

Caffeine addictions. this shit ain’t cute, learn better ways to manage you sleep and energy.
Workaholic culture, working hard is great but not in exsess
Romanticizing mental illness, you are just as valuable and talented healthy, happy. don’t convince yourself otherwise
Elitism, you aren’t better than other ppl for being more educated if your not polite.
Eurocentric: Dark. Academia. is. Not. Just. For .White. Skinny. People. In. Blazers.
Neurotypical lifestyle and studying patterns. If you can’t do things the way neurotypicals do then don’t force yourself. I tried to force myself to tale notes and memorise things the way is been taught in high school rather than what was best for me.

We should classify dirt poor academic with a heart of gold, and a soul of raging hope...Who works their ass off to keep up and pushes against the grind as “aesthetic” Because i’m broke as hell, and I’m realizing I honestly cannot relate to classism thats hiding behind the majority of dark academia and light academia content whatsoever.

Do not tell me it isn’t there. It is.

The problem with academia is the idea of perfection. The idea that our grades and intelligence define our worth. That if we aren’t perfect we don’t know who we are. I see this culture at my school all the time. The competition for the best grades, for the most work. Kids burn out all the time because we are so invested in what school thinks we need to know rather than what we want to learn. Take a break from your school work and care about something you want to care about, not what they tell you to care about. School doesnt create individuals, so we have to become individuals all by ourselves
