“Trying to become anyone else but yourself is only going to hinder your growth. Always remain true to who you are. Allow for your heart to shine and don’t ever be ashamed of its light.”

It’s very difficult to win your entire life in one day. To figure everything out in one day. To know exactly where you’re going in one day. Don’t beat yourself down if you need a little bit of time to think, to stumble a couple of times, and simply take it all in. Life is short, however be patient with yourself. Everything will come together. Until then, focus on winning this very day, one day at a time. And simply be proud.

cheers to the weekend

Spent the weekend rewriting notes, studying psych, reading the Brontës, and waiting in line at the Milk Bar opening @Harvard Square.

On Sundays, we catch up on work & do econ problem sets during college Super Bowl watch parties 💕🍨🗒🏈

27 Sept ‘18 // Working in my college library this morn on some reading for my thesis. Cambridge is still yawning from the summer, weirdly quiet and gradually shading into myriad oranges. Michaelmas term officially resumes in a week, and the undergraduates start arriving in full force this weekend.

I’ve been inspired by @optomstudies to share this picture of my digital notes. We have a massive final exam in pathology and there’s just no way I can handwrite all these highlighted parts from Robbins, so I’ve started to type notes up into this simple template header I made. It’s really basic (only has the topic #, title, and a little area for a summary for when I’m reviewing, so I can write the key ideas) but this way I don’t have to keep redoing the font/style for each new topic. 

[If anyone’s interested, I’ve shared the template with you guys here, but it’s really very basic, so don’t get your hopes up.]

My life got better when I accepted that sometimes shit just doesn’t work out. You aren’t always going to get the job, the partner, the class, the internship or whatever else you care about. Sometimes shit hits the fan and you have to be okay with that. Every time your life falls to pieces you can’t hit the floor, you gotta get your shit together, let out a little cry and keep going. Like just bc shit doesn’t work out does not mean life is going terribly, it just means it wasn’t meant to be at this time and that’s A o fucking kay.

About to sell my soul to the examiner in order to get through this 3 hour English exam tomorrow… It’s okay though because annotating is fun!!! 📝📝

sometimes you need to do the hard thing. study for your test even if it’s boring and you want to avoid it. get up an hour early to exercise even if you feel like death. go out of your way to help someone else even if it’s inconvenient. do something alone even though you’re afraid of being judged. go somewhere new even if it’s scary and disorientating at first. confess to the person who makes u blush even if it means risking rejection. let go of your old habits even though it feels like you can’t live without them. it’s supposed to be hard. life isn’t going to have amazing rewards if you’re always feeling comfortable.

look . if you wanna paint or write or sing or take photographs or play an instrument just DO IT. it might be hard in the beginning, it might not turn out as perfect as you imagined, but you know what, not even a professional artist thinks that way. and heck, you created something. you brought something to life. if that isn’t the best thing in the world i really dk what is

Change is scary, I know, but not inherently bad. Remember that life is full of change and a lot of it is for the better. You’ll adjust to all that’s new and you may even find you like it!

Physics mind maps and Italian food 😍. School will start within a few days and I was so busy with revision and internals.
