Still don’t know how my 3rd quarter grades are gonna work out, and when and how my classes are gonna start again. It’s really stressing me out, but doing work to get ahead and the nostalgia from playing Minecraft has been helping relieve that

Good luck to everyone in and/or starting online classes!

✨ Study Challenge by @endymionstudies

Day 21: do you use a bullet journal or agenda book? how do you stay organized with your coursework and daily to-do’s? I do! I use my BuJo more like a planner, because to simply stick ripped paper to it drives me insane!! I hope yall are ripping old paper that was going to the trash, and not buying new paper just to rip it and glue it to the journal so it looks aesthetics. I love aesthetics, I love props, but when it’s bad for the environment it’s good to think twice.

✨ Gratitude Challenge by @studypurple

#missedcall for @studypurple

and I wish I could tell you,

that our song

fell not on deaf ears

but echoed across seas

a minor key of melancholy

haunting, seeking,

the chord of yesteryear
