09•04•24// I had a really, really shit start to the year. My personal life genuinely fell apart in more than one way about 4 weeks before I wrote the bar exams.
Being on the other side of most of it and having managed to pass my exams, has been relieving to say the least.
If you’ve been here for a minute, you’ll know I started this blog as a way to motivate myself to get into law school. Well, we’ve done it friends 💕🍾
Some pictures from recent studies and working from home. Now I'm done with taking classes for the rest of my phd, but that means it's officially time to start studying for my qualifying exam. My goal was to finish the first draft of my proposal by the end of this month but it's been so hard to make myself work on it for some reason. We'll see what happens.

You're not always going to be motivated. So you must learn to be disciplined.
blue sky day and lots of studies! 💙🖌️

Spending the day reviewing my readings + finishing my assignments for the next week 🫶🏻🩷 Very productive but tiring! 🤞🏻🍰
Exam season is officially over for me!
I started studying during the year, trying to stay afloat (towards the end it was a bit too much too soon for me), and when exam season started i tried to be kind to myself.
I never gave up reading fantasy books, watching sports, going out with friends; if i got home late at night, tired after a day of studying out, i just went to bed, even though i could've forced some more studying.
It felt like i could've pushed more, spent more time going over the courses, but it was enough - i prioritized myself, avoided burnout, made studying more enjoyable and it all paid off.

Remember what life is all about
I was so concerned with my final year of college, finals, entry exams, that it felt like i was going through life head bowed, just walking on autopilot and staring only at the ground
I need to remember to enjoy life more often
The exams will be there, the time will pass anyway
So i choose to spend my free time remembering that there's life outside of university and the oh-so-important future
Smell the flowers, sit in the sun, go for a walk in the rain, watch children play, dance in your room, feed some ducks or squirrels (do some research about what is ok to feed them beforehand though)
Remember what life is really about

finally have the energy to do an intense journaling session before my gym sesh ~
I chose to waste time in a way I like, and everything aesthetic fills my soul
