I thought you ought to be living your art, rather than stepping back and describing it.

“I am so afraid of disappointing the people I love, I often forget that I am someone I love too. And I need kindness just as much as I believe the people I love do.” -Nikita Gill

Coming home to nostalgia and childhood friends, entering a new year and trying to find beauty in small things.

Pink certainly gets my attention

I love how my notes look like a ladurée dessert!

This is my last exam and I have to give it my all. This course has been challenging to say the least but I learnt a lot and I took a liking to a subject I thought I would hate.

My study tips:

Set a timer of 1 hour tops for maximum productivity.

Make a small summary on each paragraph or chapter that you read on the margins of the book (make it look very cute as an extra)

Make sure your space is well illuminated and appealing to your eye (doesn’t have to be expensive, a little can go a long way!)

Talk to other people! Make sure you communicate with colleagues and professors, getting someone else’s perspective can be very valuable.

Try and explain the subject to someone with absolutely no idea of it! If they understood it then so do you

Happy beginning of the week!

Everything was becoming allegorical, understood by the group mind, and especially this: ‘You’re either on the bus… or off the bus.’

I am entirely consumed by my dissertation. After months and months of stagnation and brain fog, to work so hard at something and actually see progress is bliss.
