Happy New Year, everyone. I decided to send the tradition of me lying down in exhaustion to the others having fun out there
New Year’s ramblings under the cut
I think this was moderately less depressing in my head
feel free to skip it if random introspection from someone you happen to know on the internet isn’t what you’re into
I think in many ways the best iteration of Arete along the axes I actually care about is the version that existed in eleventh grade.
I – don’t really know why exactly that happened. I think there’s an extent to which I had committed to doing an objectively ridiculous number of things all of which I endorsed doing, and the pressure not to renege on those commitments forced me into a position where I couldn’t really compromise in that regard, but that’s clearly not the only factor and realistically explains relatively little of why the current iteration of Arete is generically worse at doing things.
The obvious solution here is “do things that I endorse doing, and not things that I don’t endorse doing.” And – maybe, enough about this quarter will be different that I’ll be able to actually live up to that, but realistically speaking I doubt changing majors is going to be particularly effective at ensuring that I make it to the dining hall more than 1.2 times a day.
I’m pretty sure I had a point when writing this beyond “Arete is bad at doing things”? I’m … not totally sure where it went, to be honest, but having now written out two hundred words on the matter it feels like sort of a waste to delete them.
Anyways. Maybe sometime in the next year I’ll figure out how to get that iteration of Arete’s – motivation? discipline? will save bonus? whatever it was that let them scrawl down the answers to their history worksheets as they stood waiting in 5 degree weather for the bus to take them from Campus A to Campus B rather than failing to make it out of their dorm room.

Do things you like.
Don’t do things you don’t like.
Take offtimes, in which you are only caring for yourself. Maybe just 10 minutes each day.
Always remember: it’s your own time, you decide yourself about your actions.
Yes, it’s that simple.
But following this can be hard. But it’s healthy.

If you are healthy and in harmony with yourself, you understand that your own body is holy and you shall not harm it on purpose.
You know how long I was refusing to stop with FM even knowing it influences me negatively, both emotionally and in work
Do the things you like and dont do the things you dont like
