My Baudelaire presentation + essay are finally submitted! I’m basically done with this evening diploma in French and honestly… it’s a relief. Consistency really pays off, even when the end doesn’t seem in sight ⭐️

#I still don’t know how I found the time to attend courses from 3 different universities 👁️👁️ While working 💀#And you know what? Mid breakdown last year I vowed to never commit to evening courses again because they’re just sooo fatigant #And STILL when I submitted my work I went through the catalogue of other languages this uni offers 🥴 2 year German course next semester? 👀#studyblr #light academia #studyspo #dark academia #Cottagecore #langblr #cozycore #French langblr

Relationships are great and all but have you ever been the favourite student of an extremely strict teacher with insanely high standards who hates literally everyone? Now that kind of academic validation makes me so gululguulululu

Indian Chaotic Academia Pt. 1

Wanting to wear jumpers and hoodies but changing your mind after looking at the daily temperature

Scoring 97% in English in your board exams but your spoken English makes you sound like you are an illiterate crackhead

Messy yet (somewhat) intelligible handwriting

A weak spot for old Bollywood songs regardless of your personal taste in music

Wanting to study in a park or a cafe but you can't as they're too loud and busy

Adrak chai is the solution to everything

Muting the class WhatsApp group so you can read angsty fanfiction at 3 a.m. without alerting your parents

Buying several highlighters but still end up using blunt pencils to mark important study material

At some point, a B is the best grade you'll ever find in your report card

Reading the Mahabharata at the back of the class in the same way you would read a modern novel ("Nooo, why did he have to die 😭")

Coming up with ideas for study charts but never actually making them

The poem you have to learn in your regional language class is actually your favourite childhood song

Getting the 'Slytherin house' that always comes last in every school event

i want a sweet love. a dancing in kitchen at 3am love. a getting coffee together daily love. a let's sleep under the moon love. a pillow fight love. a feeding each other love. a kissable love. soft, sweet, serene and satisfied.

"I am a very romantic person. I don't mean romantic in a flowers and chocolates kind of way. It's more like if it's raining, I'll go up to the window and press my nose against the glass and sigh at how beautiful it all looks."

– Amy Winehouse

why do all the words sound heavier in my native language? scratch that. why did I choose to seek refuge in a language of another instead of training my tongue to bear the heaviness of my own?

life update: at the start of September I was told I couldn’t study psychology anymore (after 2 part-time years!!) due to changes in my course structure. After crying literally all day, I enrolled in a Parisian university to study B2 level French, and studied hard for the entrance exam. I passed, and then my psych uni got back to me, saying they will make an exception, so I can continue to major in psych again. I’m not sure how I’ll balance 15 psych and 35+ french credits this year between 3 universities, but it seems like everything works out in the end.❤️

#The goal is to transfer into a L2 Psych course in Paris next year or study C1 french + get 120 psych credits for L3 in 2 years ✨#the most stressful September of my life - it was also my birthday on the 4th lol - but now I’m waiting to meet up with a uni friend and-#- I couldn’t be happier with how things turned out. I wish I didn’t stress so much- everything always turns out ok in the end #(And if it’s not ok then it’s not the end!!!)#studyblr #light academia #studyspo #dark academia #langblr #cottagecore #Psychblr #100 days of productivity 100dop #study motivation #studying #study aesthetic
