Yeah now we've entered the back pain stage
trust me, i miss who i used to be too
i love studying. i love writing. i love reading. i love learning languages. i love doing mathematics. i love wandering over some particular sum and trying to come up with formulas to solve it. i love physics. i love biology. i love chemistry. i love history. i love literature. i love learning.
not to achieve the perfect grades ever. but it just amazes me that there's so much to know and learn and write and read about in the universe. my curiosity wouldn't get enough of it.

Started the day with celebrating my birthday 🥳 and ended it with a beautiful hair accessory (modern version of 빈여 binyeo) that I made in class 😌

Studying at the library before going to class. Next week we don’t have classes, which means more studying by myself. Also will be able to finish all the assignments! 🤓📖🖋️
P. S. Finished watching “Destined With You” - really loved this K-drama 💜💙

In today’s Korean culture class we learned about 민화 (Minhwa) and did wood crafting using Minhwa designs.
Also have lots of Korean homework to do and grammar to learn. Second year learning Korean and it’s starting to be a little difficult, but usually that’s when the fun starts 🤓📚🇰🇷

Enjoying the last of warm weather and sunny days before going back to study 🌳🌿🦆
Fun fact: INTJs are the most introverted of all the MBTI types. They need vast swaths of alone time to refill their social battery and gain energy.

What a blessing it is to love books. Everybody must love something, and I know of no objects of love that give such substantial and unfailing returns as books and a garden.

Clear your desk. Tie up your hair. Get your coffee. Sit down, and start. Just start.
Wrote a paper in half a day!! That's my new personal record :D
She wasn’t afraid of difficulties; what frightened her was being forced to choose one particular path.Choosing a path meant having to miss out on others. She had a whole life to live and she was always thinking that, in future, she might regret the choices she made now. ‘I’m afraid of committing myself,’ she thought to herself. She wanted to follow all possible paths and so ended up following none.
Paulo Coelho, Brida (via wordsnquotes)
Books on the shelves, on coffee tables, on tables beside beds and sofas, on cabinets and underneath flower pots – the beautiful musty scent of pages old and new linger in every room along with the faint perfume of flowers and rosemary. She buries herself within the pages of literature, stuck inside the adventures and thoughts of each and every story she reads, the memories and lives of the characters felt like they were hers as well. Every fact and speculation she thoroughly peruses, taking in as much as she could digest. The books are both her escape and her comfort.
Remember the beautiful feeling of touching the pages of an old book, wondering just how many people have lovingly anticipated the stories within its pages? Or that simple, musty and kind of historic scent of it? And also, the excitement of opening a new book and feeling like you’ve found a new companion? All these are quite quirky and simple but they are part of this wonderful love I have for books. It’s not only the stories, but the companionship and the “passport” I attain to far off lands and new people in adventures I know I could only have in books.

Person: How do you have time to read so many books?
Me: *with bloodshot eyes* I don't

The Library didn’t only contain magical books, the ones which are chained to their shelves and are very dangerous. It also contained perfectly ordinary books, printed on commonplace paper in mundane ink. It would be a mistake to think that they weren’t also dangerous, just because reading them didn’t make fireworks go off in the sky. Reading them sometimes did the more dangerous trick of making fireworks go off in the privacy of the reader’s brain.

Studying with this view ain’t so bad
