soft laziness

finals season is upon us! here are some pictures of my chem notes (i’m honestly learning so much in this class and it’s an exhilarating experience). i am honestly so thankful for the wonderful friends and TAs who have helped me so much my first semester, and i’m hoping i can do well on my finals next week! good luck to everyone else who is preparing for finals- we got this! ✨

as always, have fun & don’t forget to stay hydrated and remember to take care of yoursefl!!

26.10.2016 : today is all about Kierkegaard and coffee. 

transcription & translation stuffz 🛁

I feel like timezones are getting easier for me to figure out. Like, schedules w my friends and when they're supposed to be sleeping or school and such. But still, it makes it so difficult for us to communicate ahh why do y'all have to live far away😩

november is coming to an end. it’s grey, dry and foggy. listening to some 20s jazz helps!

i failed a class. i’m not saying this to be sad, because i’ve mourned for an evening (by sitting up in bed and drawing and maybe just a little bit of crying), but because i did say that i would be completely transparent about my failures on this blog. the truth is, sometimes hard work doesn’t lead to immediate success. for me this comes as a relatively new thing; in undergrad i’d been used to mildly minimal effort (except during hell week where i would cease to be a human being and turn into a paper-writing ghost) and maximum output and good grades. i learned that in the real world, this does not happen, and even the best effort can only bring you so much. am i saying this to be depressing? no. i think i learned many lessons about how to study and how not to study, and i’m proud of myself for making it this far.  today, i decided to push aside a lot of the grief i was still feeling (yes, i’m dramatic, i have a leo moon) to work at a cafe with my sister; i have another exam next week. moving forward helps. i realized that feeling sorry for yourself usually leads to downward spirals and being stuck in a sad, sad hole. so i studied for 7 hours and finished half the syllabus (aka the exam coverage). i sketched my sister, laughed, had light fluffy pancakes, and played with my cat. there is so much more to learn, and maybe some of it comes from being to laugh at myself and my failures. we’ll all make it someday. just gotta keep trying.  - sam

I don’t usually study on my bed but today is an exception, it’s so cold out! Hope you all have a wonderful day <3
