calm down & focus

I'm telling myself through gritted teeth that it'll all get better. I just have to finish that first draft.

After some technical difficulties (which are still far from being solved…) I managed to study for ~6 hours. Wrote a total of 6 1/2 pages on german law, election, political theories and the EU. That leaves me with election analysis and media for tomorrow. I’m planning to start studying around 8am, let’s see how well that goes :‘)

today’s 9h of studying condensed into a minute, bc I kept getting distracted by my phone & can’t use it if it’s working as the camera. life hacks

night at my desk; freshly baked banana bread, camomile tea, my commonplace journal

Not to sound dramatic, but there is this balance of feelings that comes with a system change: (1) crippling failure (2) happiness and joy at making a house a home.

studying with ahmed and angelique <3

currently devouring everything mieko kawakami has to write, and using one of my favorite fountain pens 💌

a snowy saturday morning ✧ all the lovers in the night might be the best book i read this year, and it’s only january 11!

hello 2025 🪻

today marks the 30th day of journaling every day! it’s been amazing, changing, transformative.

finals season!

saturday, studying

it's that time of the semester where everything is happening all at once. i just hope i'm still alive at the end of next week ::>_<::

i sold my couch and replaced it with a mattress. it feels like i just moved in, but also i love sitting on the floor and spreading out my stuff around me
