Remember when I said in high school that I wanted to do a difficult degree to push my limits? I take back everything I said, let me sleep and have a social life.
When we all scroll through Tumblr pinterest Instagram etc we all see tidy desks, beautifully written lessons, revision sessions in nice cafes. But can we show the chaos that revision often represents? While romanticising our studies is enjoyable and can even be motivating, it's important to remember that most people don't work like that and still succeed. So here's my revision chaos 4 days before the start of my exams: binders everywhere, even on the floor, barely legible sheets of rough paper and my flat untidy due to lack of time. Yes, the greatest difficulty in studying is the lack of time, so don't focus on the aesthetics of your lessons, but above all on understanding them and making them interesting.
It's only been two days since I returned to class and I'm already behind on work? Like how?
You'd think after watching Dead Poet Society three times and knowing almost all of the dialogue, I wouldn't cry watching it a fourth time. Daring of you to assume that, I literally cried for an hour...
I've been working on a research project for a few months and I've just sent my first results to my teachers. I'm very proud of myself but also very stressed about their opinions.
It's the first project I've done on my own, so it's far from perfect, but it's a start.
i don’t give a damn ‘bout my reputation // living in the past, it’s a new generation
my fav headcanon is that marls wasn’t popular at all: ppl hated her bc she dressed ‘weird’, she was an open lesbian and a sport fanatic, loud and mean. outcast marlene best marlene.
(song is bad reputation by joan jett, aka marls’ anthem by marls’ no 1 artist)
So I’ve just finished to watch red white and royal blue and honestly I didn’t have much expectation but that was great !
I was literally giggling and kicking the whole thing because of my joy seeing Henry and Alex on screen. First of all,Alex actor was perfect. The first part of the film was so fun and gave a feeling close to when I was reading the book. The cake scene, the hospital scene etc… But, I expected it, when the love story started I was so disappointed that all the side stories were erased. The story of Béatrice, Alex freaking out about being bi (as a bi person it really matters to me), the personality of Nora, Raphaël and of course June (seeing Alex being an only child was heartbreaking). Most importantly, I missed the whole group of friends (and the kimono in the karaoke scene) that I think was so important to Henry's development. And I wanted a few little details like the quotes from Remus Lupin but it's just that I wanted an unrealistic 5 hour movie for this book. So yes the story had lost a lot of depth but again it was expected. Except, the romance was cute and touching and I'm definitely going to see it again (I have to reread the book first )
Reading the art of getting by is having your heart crushed at each sentences but keep going because the writting is too beatiful.
How the author can make you cry with only five Words ???
