This Was Me At The Gym This Morning

I crashed out and I’m currently taking a gap year, I spend my days writing and laying in my bed like a feverish victorian man. I’m going to start a different degree this september.

Oh, well. All this to say you never know where life will talke you.

Love,

Anna

I am starting uni on September 16th. I am scared, as I don't know anybody (all of my friends are going to other colleges, and studying things far more useful than literary studies and classics).

A couple months back I went on a tour of the humanities faculty building and it is absolutely beautiful, it looks like it could belong in a Donna Tartt novel, or a Shirley Jackson story: creepy, kind of unsettling, old, reminiscent of gothic architecture, beautiful.

I am excited, but also extremely confused, when I was building my timetable I realized none of my classes were on Fridays, and upon further research I found out there is no class on Fridays. I am confused about that.

Anyway, as I do every year before school starts, or, As I've done for the past three years, I will be re-reading The Secret History by Donna Tartt. I have had to buy a new copy because the one I've had since 2021 is so used the pages fall off. I am currently reading The Goldfinch, also by Donna Tartt.

Have a good academic year, lots of love,

Anna.

Ok, I know I've been kind of quiet on here for the past few months, but what can I say, I have been on holiday. In July I spent some time with friends in Barcelona, basically just going clubbing and having brunches, and in August I left with my family on a road trip from Milan to the south of France, stopping in Monte Carlo. It was so incredibly hot I don't think I have ever sweated this much! I wrote a lot in my journals and I practically didn't read at all.

I am currently in France, in a small chateau my family owns, I am reading a lot and eating healthy. I kind of neglected my health throughout my vacation.

I am starting uni in September, I'll be a Literature Studies major. I am a little bit scared. The secret history is keeping me motivated for some strange reason.

Much love,

Anna

p.s. most of these pics are mine, except for the ones with girls in them!!

I start pre evaluation exams on Monday, the first exam I have is art history, on ancient Greek and Roman art. I like the subject but I hate the people in my class and the professor doesn't teach really well.

I think I am coming down with a cold, I read half a book yesterday while I was laying in bed feeling a little bit sick.

Anyways, Love u so much. Do not forget to study, but also: do not forget to drink water, eat pastries, take long walks, watch TV, read cool books.

Xx, Anna 🫶🏻

this is what yearning girlbloggers smell like, btw

I just finished the second week of uni. It went by really quickly, it's been good. I don't have much work yet so I've been getting back into substack lately.

I made an instagram account specifically for my writing, it's @thatswhytheycallmeanitaa, i hope you follow it. I also hope you follow my substack, you won't regret it.

I'm currently reading Antigone, for uni; it always makes me tear up. I'm writing a lot, in fact I will post an essay on substack tomorrow (hopefully).

Substack is a strange place, just as tumblr or letterboxd are, it's hard to find a community there, plus nobody I know in real life ever uses any of these apps. Most of my Substack followers and subscribers are people I know irl who decided to subscribe to do me a favor, but they never read, like or comment on my posts; it's discouraging.

For all my life I've thought the only possible job I could ever have was to be a writer or artist, now, already in university, I fear people might not want to consume my art; I fear being invisible.

Maybe this is weird, but I'm scared. I've only ever wanted to write, and to have people consume my writing.

Anyways, I'm going crazy but I still love all of you,

Xx, lots of love,

Anna
