January 25th 💖

I’ve finished my close reading of Jane Eyre and somehow managed to fall more in love with this story than I already was.

Charlotte Bronte is a master of prose and language. Her writing is exquisite and I underlined so many beautiful descriptions of nature, sunsets and the moors.

I’m actually so excited to write about this book.

[gostudyorillcomeforyou]

I have an idea

I want to get fluent in Italian by July, currently I’m a weak B1, so for the next 278 days I will study Italian every single day, no excuses and I’m going to update you every day

Then I’ll tell you my results

I hope it works

This blog is honestly sometimes my only motivation to study 😭

Shocked about how quickly can a bunch of flowers lift my mood.

Word of advice to my fellow English students on tumblr: if you are thinking of writing an essay on William Blake,

DON’T

You will get so lost in his esoteric bullshit you forget what the point of your essay even was and your head hurts.

Studyblr re-intro!

Hiya! I'm Mai (she/her) - I created my studyblr years ago to hold myself accountable for being productive and not slacking off with my studying. But I've not touched this account in years now so that's about how well that's gone.

I'm twenty one years old from the UK, and I'm in my second year of an English Literature degree. I can't lie, part of the reason I evaporated off your dashboard is because uni's been really hard. There are more tears, procrastination, breakdowns over the uncertainty of the future, hours scrolled through tiktok, stress meals eaten, and feelings of complete and utter displacement than I think people on studyblr let on. Going forward, I think I'm going to try to be more authentic (cringe sorry) and maybe that'll make me want to post more and in turn (we can only hope) be more productive.

I've also been trying to learn French since Lockdown, but am very much still a beginner (can just about order a meal), so if any langblr people wanna be friends I'm down to follow each other on Duolingo :) I say this but I've not been on Duolingo since the summer.

Quick-fire things about me!

I follow back from maiwritesstuff (boring formality but just fyi)

I love reading! Just not the stuff for my course - my favs are anything by Nabokov, Still Life by Sarah Winman, Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, A Little Life by Hanya Yanighara, and probably a lot more than what springs to mind

One of my greatest passions in life is writing, hence why you should also follow maiwritesstuff. Not that I ever post on there either, but you can follow and then eagerly await my comeback

(I love parentheses)

I went to see Barbie 7 times in cinema and it was the greatest summer of my life

There is not a meal on earth that cannot be infinietly improved by a side of coleslaw

I'm a pisces!!

Another of my great passions in life is music! I listen to loads and loads of stuff and could ramble endlessly about most genres

I could ramble endlessly about most topics tbh

My favourite pokemon is Vaporeon

One of my New Years resolutions is to try and enjoy things without thinking too deeply about them ideologically (i am still very bad at this)

I love cooking!!! And baking!!! And one of the greatest freedoms of uni is getting to cook what I want when I want without having to battle with my younger brother for use of the kitchen. I also live RIGHT next to big tesco which is where most of my money goes :(

I'm currently procrastinating finishing an essay that's due tomorrow hahahahahaha

I'm boring and have nothing else to say :(

One of the many things I like about the English language is how affectionate it can be. In my native language it is common to be very rational and unemotional, even with people you are close.

So I really like how much more often the word "love" is used in English, how people compliment each other more often and how it is much more common to use affectionate words.

SQUALOR (noun) - the state of being extremely dirty and unpleasant, especially as a result of poverty and neglect.

Was it hard growing up in such squalor?
