In another life we were arsonists (boygenius, $20)

Anton Chekhov, from a diary entry featured in “The Notebook of Anton Chekhov,”

Worst vacation is kind of an easy question, my parents and I were traveling to a resort in a hill station along with my aunt and her family. The day before we left for the trip though, I, very foolishly drank two whole-milk milkshakes knowing full well what it would do to me (i'm lactose intolerant). Miraculously, nothing seemed to be happening that day and I didn't have any urges to camp out in the washroom for hours. But the next day, about an hour into our long drive my body decided to act up. From what I'm told the scenery was gorgeous and everyone had loads of fun but the only thing I can remember is having to smell lemons at the back of the car to keep myself from vomiting and stopping at roadside shops every half hour or so to go to the washroom. We had to cut-short the trip as I had to be admitted to a hospital for about a week after. That entire experience successfully kept me off any kind of diary for a long couple of months after 🥲

Today I had my first real moment alone since arriving in Malta, over coffee and books this morning at a café near the university. I love this spot; these balconies are everywhere in the city and they are so full of sunlight :–)

07.08.21 | are you a night owl or a morning person? I’m both actually. I love waking up at 6am during breaks. I love enjoying a cup of coffee and breakfast first thing in the morning, two of my faves in this world. however, college and med school turned me into a night owl because there’s no time to study during the day —we are mostly tired from a whole day of lectures, activities, and exams. this is also why I post at this hour. 😆 my study brain is active at night! old habits die hard, I guess. 😂

stormy morning

exhausting and everything is expensive

Don't think that just because you're struggling while everyone else looks perfect that you are lesser of a student. Everyone stresses, everyone's study and notes can look messy. Your struggles are valid, because being a hardworking student is just that, it's hard.

how are your summers (or winters) going?

hoping this coffee fixes my headache and my writing block
