you know, life doesn’t have to be competitive. you don’t have to get in the very best university; you don’t have to get the highest paying career there is. you don’t need to compare and compete with everyone else in the world. you need to do what’s right for you. you need to relax, take a breath, and say ‘what do i want, for myself, to live as i want to’. and, if that involves high ambitions, then that’s fine. because you chose those ambitions on what you desire as an individual, and not on what is expected in order to succeed. let’s be ourselves this year.

Yoo-hoo! Got through one of the toughest practical exam today! So happy :D I spent the day before the exam fretting and worrying and praying and sometimes studying in between xD Oh relief!
When mornings are like these, all I want is a book and coffee. All I have are upcoming finals and lots of unfinished work.
What my morning has been looking like. Starting to feel unprepared for this exam ahhh.
if you see someone being interrupted in a conversation, acknowledge them, don’t let them be pushed to the side. if you see someone lagging behind, walk beside them. if someone is being ignored, take the step to include them. always remind people of their worth. it hurts when it feels like you’re being forgotten. that small gesture can mean a lot.
yesterday I went to the most beautiful library
