It’s pointless telling them that it’s for the sake of knowledge, if they don’t care about knowledge. Nor is there any point in telling them that an educated person gets through life better than an ignoramus, because they can always point to some genius who, from their standpoint, leads a wretched life. And so the only answer is that the exercise of knowledge creates relationships, continuity, and emotional attachments. It introduces us to parents other than our biological ones. It allows us to live longer, because we don’t just remember our own life but also those of others. It creates an unbroken thread that runs from our adolescence (and sometimes from infancy) to the present day. And all this is very beautiful.”<br/><br/> - <em>Umberto Eco (via <a href="http://soracities.tumblr.com/"

When you consider that midterms are in a week, and my window was frosted over this morning, I think that it’s time for a study moods post about the best season.<br/></p> <p>Each mood can be done individually, or you can do all seven over the course of a week!<br/></p> <p><b>The PSL:</b> Drinking a pumpkin spice latte, at a Starbucks, listening to the hum of people around you and writing an essay.<br/></p> <ul><li>This is the most Basic Fall Mood. I know I certainly have enough essays to write that I could do this every day for the rest of the semester. <br/></li></ul><p><b>The Apple Cider: </b>Drinking apple cider, sitting under a tree on a sunny day, listening to the rustling leaves and memorizing flashcards.<br/></p> <ul><li>Do this one soon, because it’s getting cold quickly! <br/></li></ul><p><b>The Hot Chocolate: </b>Drinking hot chocolate, wearing your fuzziest sweater, listening to jazz and quizzing a friend.<br/></p> <ul><li>Hot chocolate is something to be shared. This is a great mood for when you want to work with a friend on that next bio test!<br/></li></ul><p><b>The Black Tea:</b> Drinking black tea in a student lounge, listening to your favorite song, rewriting your notes.<br/></p> <ul><li>Strong black tea and student lounges both make me feel like being Productive™ more than basically anything else, so when I have a task that feels Sisyphean, those are my go-to combo.<br/></li></ul><p><b>The Hot Coffee: </b>Drinking coffee in the library, listening to folk punk (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LF_1EigqERM">Mischief Brew</a>) and making study guides. <br/></p> <ul><li>Folk music just says fall to me. So when I need to get myself pumped up for something, I switch to caffeine and folk punk, because I am a pop-punk girl at heart.<br/></li></ul><p><b>The Eggnog: </b>Drinking eggnog at a friend’s place, listening to your favorite TV show and studying for a test.<br/></p> <ul><li>Eggnog is being sold at my local grocery store, apparently! Ahhh! It’s another one of those drinks best had with friends, so go hang out, socialize, and see if you can’t get some studying in too.<br/></li></ul><p><b>The Cranberry Juice:</b> Drinking cranberry juice with the windows open, listening to the happiest music you know, writing a speech.  </p> <ul><li>Cranberry juice is great for staying alert. When you have to concentrate making sure something will make sense, cranberry and an autumn breeze will absolutely help you out.<br/></li></ul><p>Have fun with midterms!</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Surviving-College-Search-Music-Major-ebook/dp/B01JUWNNXE"><i>I wrote a book yooooooo.</i></a><br/></p> </blockquote> <p>you forgot screaming and chugging coffee and suddenly becoming religious again and praying for your GPA</p></blockquote> <p>That’s a finals study mood, silly!</p></blockquote>http://martin-arina.tumblr.com/post/151795071257http://martin-arina.tumblr.com/post/151795071257Fri, 14 Oct 2016 17:34:33 +0300<img src="https://78.media.tumblr.com/0dabe9cf13420bfc897d48793a86620e/tumblr_nfzj4lczo71s5ibexo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="https://78.media.tumblr.com/10067416911656a15de5b7465eec3393/tumblr_nfzj4lczo71s5ibexo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="https://78.media.tumblr.com/d5e41fc966202d8c6ec9547112aaeb89/tumblr_nfzj4lczo71s5ibexo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/>http://martin-arina.tumblr.com/post/151480074672http://martin-arina.tumblr.com/post/151480074672Fri, 07 Oct 2016 21:48:28 +0300<p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://langsandlit.tumblr.com/post/126666215038">langsandlit</a>:</p> <blockquote> <ol><li> <b>scrosciare </b>(vb.):<b> </b>the action of rain pouring down or of waves hitting rocks and cliffs.</li> <li> <b>meriggiare </b>(vb.): to rest at noon, more likely in a shady spot outdoors.</li> <li> <b>lapidoso </b>(adj.): full of stones, said of roads or of the bottom of a river.</li> <li> <b>innaffiare </b>(vb.): to water something, especially a garden, a plant, a flower, etc.</li> <li> <b>cruore</b> (n.): it literally means “flowing blood”.</li> <li> <b>nottivago </b>(n.): of a person who wanders at night; night-roamer.</li> <li> <b>terrifico</b> (adj.): of something or someone that terrifies, that provokes terror.</li> <li> <b>ansare</b> (vb.): to hardly breathe, to be out of breath.</li> <li> <b>nequizia </b>(n.): moral wickedness or evil action.</li> <li> <b>morituro </b>(adj.): of someone who is next or destined to die.</li> </ol></blockquote>http://martin-arina.tumblr.com/post/151002521932http://martin-arina.tumblr.com/post/151002521932Tue, 27 Sep 2016 12:26:06 +0300“My soul is a hidden orchestra; I know not what instruments, what fiddle strings and harps, drums and tambourines I sound and clash inside myself. All I hear is the symphony.”<br/><br/> - <em> Fernando Pessoa, <i>The Book of Disquiet</i> (via <a href="http://oiseauperdu.tumblr.com/" class="tumblr_blog">oiseauperdu</a>)</em>http://martin-arina.tumblr.com/post/150737958082http://martin-arina.tumblr.com/post/150737958082Wed, 21 Sep 2016 22:23:28 +0300<p><i>Last Autumn, I was enrolled in a Slavic Linguistics course with a professor who is fluent in six Slavic language (he claims that his Bulgarian is rusty). I had always found it baffling as his surname is quite obviously Germanic and he had mentioned before that he was born and raised in Canada. He’s shy and soft-spoken with white hair and frail limbs. His sentences trail off. His smiles are always nervous. There is something so sad about him, it hurts my heart to think of him.</i></p><p><i>I ran into that professor at the University library one day and shared a pleasant conversation with him before class, naturally taking the opportunity to ask him what fuelled his passion for Slavic languages. I will never forget his answer: He wanted to experience reading Nabokov, his favourite writer, in Russian. He spoke of a particular metaphor that was lost in translation. He said that it haunted him: that he needed to understand it. Russian was a language pounding at his door in the heavy rain, the other five languages simply snuck in when he wasn’t looking. </i></p>http://martin-arina.tumblr.com/post/150737360502http://martin-arina.tumblr.com/post/150737360502Wed, 21 Sep 2016 22:08:09 +0300“We often have to explain to young people why study is useful. It’s pointless telling them that it’s for the sake of knowledge, if they don’t care about knowledge. Nor is there any point in telling them that an educated person gets through life better than an ignoramus, because they can always point to some genius who, from their standpoint, leads a wretched life. And so the only answer is that the exercise of knowledge creates relationships, continuity, and emotional attachments. It introduces us to parents other than our biological ones. It allows us to live longer, because we don’t just remember our own life but also those of others. It creates an unbroken thread that runs from our adolescence (and sometimes from infancy) to the present day. And all this is very beautiful.”<br/><br/> - <em><b>Umberto Eco</b> (via <a href="http://mesogeios.tumblr.com/" class="tumblr_blog">mesogeios</a>)</em>http://martin-arina.tumblr.com/post/150737315862http://martin-arina.tumblr.com/post/150737315862Wed, 21 Sep 2016 22:07:02 +0300<img src="https://78.media.tumblr.com/c9ba62badfacf4a4ed0df6b6482c405d/tumblr_o07flnIS5E1s63gs8o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://lazypacific.tumblr.com/post/136707638832">lazypacific</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Artist Alert: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/vladimirleleiva/"><b>Vladimir Leleiva</b></a></p> </blockquote>http://martin-arina.tumblr.com/post/150526625752http://martin-arina.tumblr.com/post/150526625752Sat, 17 Sep 2016 09:37:27 +0300<img src="https://78.media.tumblr.com/5de4975b26c103536d7df95ae60913ef/tumblr_odhp5ctWX01qe0clto1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://martin-arina.tumblr.com/post/150397644617http://martin-arina.tumblr.com/post/150397644617Wed, 14 Sep 2016 14:30:24 +0300<img src="https://78.media.tumblr.com/0df17707bb0cc7457ce1b9109f38eb9f/tumblr_ob02205lxO1rpu8e5o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://positivedoodles.tumblr.com/post/149708847296/drawing-of-a-blue-robot-saying-your-glasses-look" class="tumblr_blog">positivedoodles</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>[drawing of a blue robot saying “Your glasses look great!” in a purple speech bubble.]</p></blockquote>http://martin-arina.tumblr.com/post/149709613082http://martin-arina.tumblr.com/post/149709613082Tue, 30 Aug 2016 21:51:36 +0300<p><a href="http://tonylashden.tumblr.com/post/149428341240/%D0%B2-%D1%83%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%80%D1%81%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%82%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B9-%D0%B6%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%BD%D0%B8-%D0%BC%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%B5-%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%B6%D0%B5%D1%82%D1%81%D1%8F-%D0%BE%D1%87%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%8C" class="tumblr_blog">tonylashden</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>в университетской жизни многое кажется очень странным. вот вы сидите в большой аудитории из сентиментальных фильмов, где главный герой обязательно увлекается английской литературой 15 века, а потому не имеет шансов на трудоустройство. вот вы сидите на траве, и девушка из Берлина рассказывает, как они ездили в Кройцберг делать дизайны крафт-упаковок. вот вы пьете кофе, и кто-то рассказывает про учебники по теории феминизма, -
