We never know what paths and hardships brought a person to where they are now. The best we can do is try to be kind and understand that everyone has a different journey. š± Featuring a mango chibird!

So you know how you have these dreams, like stuff that you want to do, and you hope that someday it will magically just happen? Like visiting a place or having a good relationship. Well guess what? Things don't just happen. You gotta work for it, not sit around and hope that opportunities will randomly stroll into your life.

This weekend is fall break and most of the campus went home, but I chose to stay back and catch up /work ahead and Iām glad I did. Iāve been sleeping in, doing things at a relaxed pace, and making sure i have time to eat and even workout! I feel so much more at peace already.
Today I have a long ass to do list, but the only way to get it done is to start. Here we go!
Snape protecting Harry, Ron and Hermione from Werewolf Lupin
Mapping out my goals for the year now that semester 1 is over! The best method for me is to be specific with what I want to achieve and work out every step to get there! Iāll upload the different coloured versions of each goal setting PDF to google drive if anyone else would like to use these! x
This is a chart that my chem teacherĀ gave to everyone after our first exam.Ā

Your #ThursdayPickup! Too many of us spend a lot of time whining and groaning about oh so many difficulties and worries. Hereās what to do instead: roll up āem sleeves, get yoā mindset strong and firm and plunge yourself into glory. Remember, pain is temporary, glory is eternal. Peace. <3

Treating myself to a piece of cake while reading Die Verwandlung by Franz Kafka for my German classā š°
I found an old train ticket in this second hand book I bought a while ago.Ā
Iām wondering who was so passionate about studying Romanticism on a train from Milano to Trieste on 11th april 1988. Were they returning from holidays and studying for an exam? Or were they doing research for their thesis?Ā
Just a regular afternoon coffee with some reading. The upcoming weeks will be busy, so for now I just try to read and calmly think as much as I can
5.37pm || back at one of my all time favourite studying spaces, not a lot of people get the option to go to their parents office to study so iām grateful for the forced productivity today, never underestimate the motivation you get when people around you are working hard too āŗļø
general mathematics spread! this week was about math in finance. the classes for me were just like reviews since I learned this back in senior high! āļø
I use the Zebra Sarasa Black Pen in 0.5 and the pastel blue Mildliner when I write my notes for this subject āļø
Nothing will ruin your 20ās more than thinking you should have your life together already.
sometimes you need to do the hard thing. study for your test even if itās boring and you want to avoid it. get up an hour early to exercise even if you feel like death. go out of your way to help someone else even if itās inconvenient. do something alone even though youāre afraid of being judged. go somewhere new even if itās scary and disorientating at first. confess to the person who makes u blush even if it means risking rejection. let go of your old habits even though it feels like you canāt live without them. itās supposed to be hard. life isnāt going to have amazing rewards if youāre always feeling comfortable.
hey high schoolers: your academic performance right now doesnāt have to be a predictor of your future success. just saying.Ā
i got Cs, Ds, and Fs in high school and dropped out. fast forward six years and i have an associateās degree with honors, a 4.0 in a STEM major at an R1, iāve worked in a lot of cool places, and iām having the time of my life in my twenties. i still struggle, especially financially, but good things are happening that i couldnāt dream of when i was 16 and lonely in a world that wouldāve seen me dead.
donāt let anyone tell you youāre going nowhere. you can do whatever you want.Ā
21.05.2018 Practicing informatics for my exam, itās not really hard, but Iām so tired ahaha, have a good day or night, FIGHTING !

two of my favorite robert frost poems for two of my favorite hogwarts houses. i dont know about you guys, but these two stanzas of robert frost hold so much motivation and inspiration, especially for a student who has so much more good and bad to experience. high-res versions of these are in the link to the google drive!
Today I discovered this writerās tactic to face her fear of rejection and failure, and itās honestly very inspiring?! This kinda rewired my brain and I feel everyone should read and think about it.

What my morning has been looking like. Starting to feel unprepared for this exam ahhh.Ā
