one thing i really enjoy doing in my journal is writing down beautiful poems, passages from novels, and film reviews that i come across. a few weeks ago, i watched la chimera and it was one of the best movies i've seen in the past decade. i'm still thinking about it, weeks later.... beautiful movies beget beautiful film reviews so i wrote down an excerpt of an nyt review🏺

i'm trying to strike a balance between complaining and uh... not complaining but it's so hard😭 civil procedure has come back to bite me in the ass. it was my lowest grade in law school and one of the densest/most abstract subjects i've encountered, so i am absolutely terrified and shaking in my boots. i'm staying positive, however, and will not let it crush my spirit !!!

I've been having an extremely productive week and I'm scared I'll crash but I'll ride this high while it lasts #no_regrets

New college, Oxford

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 💕🍾

🩷 15.06.2025 // I studied with a 90/15 schedule today and I'm feeling wayyy better than yesterday :)))

I did some physics, chemical analysis, a lot of immunopathology and some pharmacology! I'm glad my bf is here to help me do the past papers because everytime I'm reading one I'm panicking ://

I "only" studied 8 hours today but first I slept in a bit so it was nearly impossible to study more ahah (tomorrow I hope that I'll wake up earlier tho)

Also, tell me if you want more pictures of my cat as she spend all day in my bedroom, sleeping on my bed ahah

Growth takes time 🪴 remember that when you’re feeling discouraged about your progress or where you are at now, and it applies to all areas of your life!

Studying isn't about grades, it's about falling in love with a subject.

I've officially started my last year of college and have never felt more excited. These years have been a process of learning to love learning new things, but i think I've finally started fully appreciating the opportunity to study subjects that not only interest me, but will also help me in my life and career post-university.

I'm grateful to have professors that are passionate about the courses they teach, I'm grateful for the friends that are just as dedicated to learning as I am, with whom I can always discuss interesting details and debatable theories.

It's a new year and I'm grateful to become a new me.

Too anxious for the upcoming exams to be productive

A year ago posting my daily progress on Tumblr really helped, so I'm back

Here's to surviving this round of exams
