THE ANON WHO CALLED ME A BADASS MADE MY MONTH 

lol this shit is @lawschoolruinedme approved mate 

@studywithautumn flailing with me about hockey (and being so patient) 

Had a mediocre day at work. On any other day the shit that got thrown at me today would’ve been fine. But today was just one of those days. 

Our hearing went overtime, my holiday leave wasn’t approved, I had christmas shopping to run and then someone accidentally threw my lunch in the bin.  

Lack of sleep makes me a little bitch who knew

Making mountains outta molehills. 

But past me did a good job of looking out for current me -- queued up some “tell me why you follow me on anon” post which led to some very nice anons in my inbox.

Made me smile as I staggered my way to the train station. 

A huge thank you to  @mmond, @gukii, @studyspiration-coffee for your kind words and to @studywithautumn for checking up on me, as always. 

Bestie came over for impromptu dinner, we wrapped christmas presents and I felt like I wasn’t drowning anymore.
