dark academia - acoustics n lots of hozier for that classical literature aesthetic 

cowboy music - western-sounding indie music for ppl who don’t like country music lmao

8tracks indie - if you’re one of the OGs who used 8tracks, these are the songs that were in like every single playlist

rainy - lots of oldies! i kinda imagined it as cafe music during the post apocalypse hehe 

soleil - warm-sounding songs!

surf rock - the sort of music that’d be in a summer indie film soundtrack

moomin! - it’s cottagecore, babey!

oranges and honey - lo-fi

Please rest. The moonlight will always await your gaze, and even the poet’s dusk recedes in and out of our dreamlike realm. 

If you didn’t achieve the grade you had desired, please remember that it is okay and you can and will try again. Savour a perfumed kiss from your favourite black tea or coffee, settle in your favourite secluded spot on the campus courtyard, breathe in the crisp air, and try again. 

You don’t need to possess a luxurious collection of vintage clothing. Your treasured oxford blouse will do, as it rises and falls with the autumn wind on your walk past the window of the used antique bookstore. The tweed blazer that you adorn each day is filled with your own secret history; memories of sitting in your favourite lecture while rain fell outside the window. 

a return to familiar words, the old architecture of my campus, and a nostalgic autumnal afternoon.
