Study Aesthetic - Blog Posts
gentle reminder you can rise up from everything. you can recreate yourself. nothing is permanent. you are not stuck. you have choices. you can think new thoughts. you can learn something new. you can create new habits. all that matters is that you decide today and never look back.
I love to learn, I do...but only when the end goal is not an exam ykwim.
I love even the hard subjects like physics and Maths, they are so fun...but not when I have to eventually go write them in a dumb exam, because can't write exams.
Examination culture is definitely killing peoples want to study, and we as a society need to evaluate why that is.

Emily Dickinson

A something In a summer's day
Summer shower
Further In summer than the birds
As sleigh bells seem In summer
It can't be "Summer"!
Summer for thee, grant I maybe
It will be Summer - eventually
I taste a liquor never brewed (the best poem ever)

What shall I do when the summer troubles
Ourselves were wed one summer - dear

Twice had summer her fair verdure
The trees like tassel - hit and swung by

[These poems have an aspect of summer and definitely, most of them have addressed deeper issues through the appearance of a beautiful imagery of summer. This has been created from my own reading experience, google websites and recommendations from friends and professors. If you want me to add anything more, leave an ask or comment. Enjoy these beautiful poems and no hate please.]
If you have trouble remembering all the beef two historical figures had for your exam, just start shipping them.
I am not joking.
They hated each other before their coalition? Enemies to lovers. One of them was assassinated? Right person wrong time. They have portraits/photos together? They must’ve fought the urge to hold hands.
You’ll be surprised by how easy their lore becomes to remember
I guess Cesar doesn’t like geology…
I literally chose difficult studies (one of the most difficult courses in my country) to go beyond my limits, and I have the audacity to complain when it's actually beyond my limits.

Good morning! ☺️
I’m back in college today as the half term is over. These are the papers I’m hoping to get done:
2017 Physics Paper 2
2018 Physics Paper 2
2017 Biology Paper 1
2018 Biology Paper 1
2019 Biology Paper 1
I’ve finished 2017 Bio Paper 1 and got an A* so I’m very happy.
Being back inside school is definitely helping me stay focused, and I really like that I can go and talk to my teachers whenever I need (I’m going to make use of that later today!).
Have a good day! 🌞

My old laptop...
And the photo was taken at the very end of a semester (zoomester, actually, the covid times). I can still sense the freedom for that specific time period. University was very harsh on me. But here we are :')

For the remembrance of the finals weeks of uni.

You can spot a lecturer if they give enhance information or not by purely looking your notes from slides.
I've been preparing 2 columns word documents from slides for nearly every class I take, whether it is from uni or other symposium, webinar etc., and these are the photos I took from 2 different class from uni. Can you see any differences :')

I will succeed. Not instantly. But definitely.
